bradenton real estate: Tax Deductions for Sarasota & Bradenton Homeowners - 03/24/08 05:25 PM
Tax time is here again! It seems like only last week my 2006 tax were being filed, but here we are again in 2008, and the deadline for 2007 taxes are soon approaching. I am not a CPA and never give personal tax advice. I'm asked many questions about personal tax deductions in relation to owning real estate, but always suggest contacting your local tax attorney or CPA for details and clarification for congruency with IRS rules and regulations. But, today I want to highlight 3 fundamental tax deductions the federal government grants homeowners that could save you money.

bradenton real estate: Bradenton Florida Real Estate- Property Taxes - 03/22/08 01:27 AM
I've always been curious to know exactly what property tax values are in Southwest Florida counties. After reading another dismal real estate article in the Manatee Herald Tribune, I now have a better idea what those figures are. Property taxes in Manatee County are most commonly taxed at a rate of 1.7% of the homes purchase price. These taxes are reassessed on an annual basis to determine new tax bill figures, minus any deductions you may be afforded for homestead exemptions, disabilities, etc. (Categorically there are a number of options residents may qualify for to receive assistance in the cost … (1 comments)

bradenton real estate: Feds Cut Rates.. Dollar Gets Stronger.. Real Estate Benefits - 03/18/08 07:43 PM
The Federal Government jumped back into the swampy pool of economic meltdown today, and cleaned up a little, aiding consumers. Wall Street experts speculated a drastic rate cut of 100 basis points, and CNBC hyped-up a potential forecast of a more drastic cut than this. This much of a rate cut would surely spike our deathly-ill economy, and put more money back in the pockets through savings on car loans, credit cards, & the dreaded mortgage payment. However, soon after 2:14pm (Eastern Standard Time) I was glued to the TV screen waiting for the result of the Feds decision. 75 Basis … (2 comments)

bradenton real estate: Sarasota & Bradenton Positive Cash-Flow Investments - 03/14/08 03:53 PM
First of all, this "roady" sign is great! I think I saw a few Real Estate investors holding this sign on Bee Ridge Rd. a few days ago. Funny but scary! This article is dedicated to finding deals that take this sign out of the investors hands and put that million in their pockets.
With over-inflated pricing in the Sarasota/Manatee market, there's a scarcity of investments that will result in a positive cash flow. I have a number of clients looking for these types of investments and it seems 99% of real estate agents feel, "you're not going to find anything that will … (0 comments)

bradenton real estate: International Buyers Value Florida Real Estate - 03/06/08 04:19 PM
If there were a niche that sees the Florida real estate market as having more opportunity than ever, it would have to be international consumers. I day trade a bit on the international foreign currency market (FOREX) & the values being posted to international currencies are staggering. Currencies such as the British Pound & the EURO are valued at 1 & 1/2 - 2 times more valuable than our feeble dollar. The opportunity for global consumers (predominantly European markets) to enjoy a second home in Florida has never been better. What are the international buyers purchasing? A recent poll of 1,844 homes sold … (2 comments)

bradenton real estate: February 2008 Sarasota Real Estate Statistics - 03/04/08 03:05 PM
I pulled the February 2008 statistics for Sarasota County. This search bullets Sarasota properties that have "closed" only.. With local market conditions placing constraints on buyers financing capabilities, among other transactional hurdles, homes that go under contract aren't guaranteed to close. So to keep my statistical analysis very consistent moving forward, I will only be reporting numbers reflecting a "closed" status on MLS..
-Single Family Homes- 42-Condo- 110-Multi-Family (i.e. Duplex, Quadplex, etc.)- 0-Lots & Acreage- 5
What can we learn from these numbers? We see a nice spike in the condo market. I would attribute this to the second-home buyer vacationing in the … (0 comments)

bradenton real estate: Sarasota & Bradenton Flat Fee Listing Package for 2008! $199 - 03/03/08 07:17 PM
I've been asked a number of times of the past few days to repeat exactly what comes with our 2008 Flat Fee Listing Package.. First, I'll point out that a Flat Fee Listing is just a means for a seller to get exposure for their home on the Multiple Listing Service. MLS is important exposure for your home because there are 4,000 real estate agents in Sarasota County that are working with buyers & you need your home in front of these agents. Most brokers won't allow their agents to list property through this type of service, but many Sarasota & … (0 comments)

bradenton real estate: Sarasota & Bradenton... Sell Your Home Through a Flat Fee Listing! - 02/29/08 07:01 PM
I'm seeing an overabundance of inventory on the open real estate market and I continue to ask myself, "what are these sellers doing to give themselves a competitive advantage and make sure they are the ones getting showings and offers on their home?" I see more and more realtors just relying on the MLS to sell the home and they are providing no ancillary marketing to bring activity to the listing.. I think there's a few questions a seller should ask themselves before hiring a real estate agent to sell their home.. 1) What exactly justifies me paying a realtor 6% … (0 comments)

bradenton real estate: Buying a Foreclosure in Sarasota/Bradenton, Florida! - 02/29/08 07:00 PM
Over the weekend, myself and Jim Barclay, Shirley International all-star Commercial Sales Rep, attended a convention in Orlando educating us on buying/selling Short Sales & Foreclosures. The symposium was presented by Andy Tolbert, an extremely savvy real estate broker rep. located in Ocala, who specializes in Short Sales and Foreclosures. She probably buys more of these types of deals, than lists and sells them, so her input was very objective backed by years of trial & error on how to do transact the purchase perfectly. The Short Sale market is certainty a niche with tons of opportunities to buy a home … (0 comments)
