Interest Rate Update - 02/13/011
The average rate on a 30-year mortgage moved past 5% this week, reaching the highest level in nine months.
Home-loan rates have been surging since November, tracking yields on Treasury bonds, as the economy has shown increasing signs of strength.

The average is at its highest level since a 5.06% reading in late April. Last year at this time, it was 4.97%.

So you want to flip properties? OK, that's a whole different ballpark, so let's talk.......
I've had quite a few clients lately that are starting to see more and more properties being flipped, and they're thinking they'd like to be part of the action.
I'm very encouraging with them, because I feel personally that it's a very fulfilling endeavor.
However, there is definitely a recipe that you'll need to be successful with it.
How they plan on purchasing the property is a big factor.

It usually starts with comparable sales that I pull up.
Once in a while, my buyer has something to say about that also.  They may have knowledge of a property that closed escrow nearby.  But sometimes that property isn't like-for-like, or perhaps the sale is to … (20 comments)
