investment: Selling a residential home with a uncooperative tenant – An easy solution - 03/05/08 07:28 PM
Have you ever had a residential home that you have been using as a rental and now you want to sell? Then when you go to put the for sale sign up, you find out you have a tenant that doesn't want you to sell, and does everything in their power to keep it from selling?
In my state you have to give the tenant 24 hours with a posted notice that you are going to be entering the property, then, if the tenant wants, they can still make it difficult for a buyer. They just leave the house a mess and … (7 comments)

investment: Beaverton Oregon Real Estate: Don't lose your equity in your home by waiting for a letter from your lender (Avoid Foreclosure) - 04/22/07 12:34 AM
One of the ways people get into trouble and lose so much money is they wait to long before seeking help with the sale of their home. If you know you are starting to get into trouble with your payments, this is the time to call an experienced agent that can help you avoid a possible foreclosure.
The reason waiting to long can cost so many home owners most, if not all of their equity is because of all the late fees that the bank imposes cuts right into that equity. Also as you get closer and closer to the date … (1 comments)

investment: Control you own future with your retirement - 04/11/07 10:19 AM
One of the best ways to control your retirement is contributing to your 401K every year. The only problem is the maximum you can contribute per year is $14,000. But there is a way to get almost unlimited money contributed to your retirement and get the money tax free at the time of retirement.
The first thing you need to do is transfer your money to a self controlled IRA. Then you can buy fixer properties with your IRA, fix up the property with IRA money and then when you sell the property all the money is given back to the … (0 comments)

investment: How to net 10-15% more for your fixer property than it appraises for - 04/07/07 01:43 AM
Do you own a fixer property and want to sell, but don't think you can get what you need out of it? You have two options. One is you can spend thousands and fix it up yourself, but if you need money out of the sale, then more than likely you don't have the money to fix up the property. The second way is the way to net you 10-15% above the present appraisal value without spending any more money.
I work with investors that love fixers, but they need to make money on the property. The only way to do … (0 comments)

investment: Let someone else invest in your NO MONEY DOWN investment property - 04/05/07 04:29 PM
By law you need to put some kind of consideration down to make a contract valid. Be it earnest money or a boat, there has to be something of value given to a seller in order for a contract to be valid.  There are many different investment opportunities, but today I'm going to focus on just one.

investment: Are there still good investment properties out there or are they already gone? - 04/02/07 08:27 PM
Most of the time a great deal is already gone before you even know that it was for sale? Why is this? The plain and simple truth is because the investors have a Realtor that is always looking for them! When your Realtor has found one, instead of putting the home on the market so anyone can find it, they call their investor and say I've got a property for you! The investor has learned to trust that Realtor and tells them to put an offer in on the property unseen.
Now as a Realtor, I also do this for a … (0 comments)

investment: Where do I find those "Deals" when looking for investment properties? - 03/23/07 01:06 PM
As a Realtor we have clients come to us usually after ordering a 2am special investment CD collection saying "I want you to find me a home at 50% of the retail value" Do those programs work? In some cases they do, but it takes a lot more work than they make it seem on the CD's and DVD's you get in the mail. If it was truly as easy as they say it is, wouldn't everyone do it?. I usually sit down with my clients and teach them a better way of finding the deals and making extra money by … (2 comments)
