investment: If the Buyers Ain’t Here, Then Where? - 07/19/07 09:04 AM
In my last two posts I have talked about getting into the investment game now instead of waiting.  If you are a buyer here in the Columbus Marketplace you should be looking and offering.  Nuff said on that.
In the event you are a seller of investment property here in Columbus, did … (1 comments)

investment: Why Buy Before the Bottom? - 07/18/07 07:19 AM
This has been a question floating around for the last few days.
First of all, nobody knows where the bottom is.  Some say it is 6 months.  I doubt it after speaking to my banker clients.  Some say 18 months to two years.  Some areas may be trending downward for the next … (10 comments)

investment: It's a Bloodbath and Time to Swim with Sharks - 07/17/07 10:27 AM
What is going on in the Columbus Ohio investment market right now is a terrible thing.  Terrible, that is, if you are overextended.  Terrible if you are trying to sell investment property at retail prices.  Terrible if you don't have a source of funds.
What I am trying to say is that … (10 comments)

investment: I Flunked Math, But…PLEASE BROTHER PLEASE - 02/28/07 08:16 PM

Today I feel really bad.  I have been engaged by a consumer and what someone else sold them is, at best, a big loss.  They were SOLD and didn't remember Mrs. Jones' simple math rules.
Gross Collections - (P + I + T + I + Other) x 12 - Vacancy % = … (4 comments)

investment: Using Bonehead Offers for Profit - 12/03/06 03:38 PM
I must admit that being a bonehead agent and investor takes a lot of work.  The only way to make a good living this way is volume.  Numbers.  It's all numbers. 
Shocker - Investing is all numbers.
Here it goes.  I am going to roll the beautiful bean footage. (I love that … (3 comments)

investment: Time to Buy Investment Property - 09/26/06 06:47 PM
If you deal with investors from time to time, now might be a great time to get out there and renew the relationships.  We see sellers that have been on the market a while get a little more reasonable in the winter months.
This winter may be even better, especially for vacant … (1 comments)

investment: Making Offers - 09/23/06 08:51 AM
When working with buyers or working as a buyer myself, I have never been afraid to make an offer that I thought was goingto be rejected.  Last year I made an offer that basically told the owner if he paid me $10,000 I would take the property off his hands.
This is a … (2 comments)
