IT ALL CAME A TUMBLING DOWN BRICK BY BRICK

It is always a pleasure having my son in the car with me while I am practicing Phoenix real estate. I was visting a fourplex that I just got under contract to do Arizona Property Management. A hospital is located directly across the street. This is ideal when renting out units. There is plenty of traffic on a daily basis.
So, my son notices that they are taking down some multiunits across the street. Yes, we pulled the car near the fence since the sign did say no trespassing. However, … (4 comments)

BE PREPARED TO CLOSE ON YOUR FIRST HOME
 
Closing is the last step in buying a home. Unless you are paying cash for the house, you cannot buy without backing from a lender, which comes in the form of a commitment letter. The lender will require that you have a homeowner's insurance policy on the property, so you will need to arrange this before the closing.
2.  At closing you will be asked how you want to hold the title, which basically refers to ownership. If you alone will own the house, it's sole ownership; joint tenancy applies when … (0 comments)

PHOENIX FIX AND FLIP A HOUSE USING ONES SELF DIRECTED 401K RETIREMENT ACCOUNT DO IT THE RIGHT WAY

The American economy continues to grow at a slow pace. Many Americans with cash have put their reserves into money market accounts only paying 1% return on their money.

One of my real estate investors paid $50,000 for a residential home. The renter is paying $800 per month in rent. That is a solid return for that investment. Are you getting these type of returns. … (3 comments)

The subject line read "WE HAVE A PROBLEM CALL ME NOW!" It is standard practice for title to run one more title search on the property to check if there are any outstanding liens against the property.
