idaho: Writing multiple offers on short sales in Idaho, what the law states
- 01/08/10 12:05 AM
Writing multiple offers on short sales in Idaho, what the law states. Distressed properties have become such a large part of our market in Boise, Idaho that you almost can't turn around without bumping into a short sale or foreclosure. With that comes a whole new list difficulties in how to deal with them ethically and legally. It seems to have become a standard practice of Idaho short sale buyers to put in multiple offers on short sale properties and close on the one that gets approved the fastest. A proverbial throwing at the wall to see what sticks if you will. … (10 comments)
idaho: Congrats to Boise State Broncos on their second BCS berth
- 12/06/09 02:45 PM
Congrats to the Boise State Broncos on another perfect season and another invite to a BCS bowl. Despite the fact that BSU and TCU both got ripped off by the system yet again. It just goes to show how the BCS is more about money than matching up the right teams. Besides, it gives all those clowns who talk about how tough their confrrences and schedules all another excuse about how we can't play at their level. Too bad none of them are willing to play at ours. … (1 comments)
This super clean Nampa, Idaho home went under contract almost as soon as we listed it. Well it's available again. The buyers canceled their contract two days before the lender issued the approval letter. We have the approval letter in hand and this is a steal at 85K with concessions approved for FHA and VA loans. Call for a private showing. This is a short sale and final approval from the lender is required. … (6 comments)

You always hope a rivalry game is just that, a game. While the Boise State Broncos did move up a spot in the latest BCS polls, the Vandals didn't offer much of a fight. Either way it's still fun any time this game comes to town. We got to enjoy watching the game (post technical difficulties) in a beautiful cabin in Cascade, Idaho. Even though some of our good friends are Vandals fans (Matt and Cassie if you're reading this, sorry for your loss), we set aside our differences and we had a great time. Onward to a BCS … (2 comments)
idaho: If you represent yourself as a buyer in an Idaho short sale purchase, can you demand the bank pay you a commision
- 11/15/09 11:16 AM
If you represent yourself as a buyer in an Idaho short sale purchase, can you demand the bank pay you a commision? First and foremost, the money you think you're saving by doing this is not worth it. These are complex transactions and having an experieced agent to help you navigate it is worth far more than you're going to save. If you're not an agent, I would say it's highly unlikely you'll get the lender to give you the commission. This is probably an instance where representing yourself is not going to net you anything extra. In a short sale … (1 comments)

- 11/15/09 10:56 AM
Are Ada County, Idaho tax assessed values accurate representation of my home's value? This really depends on the area. For certain parts of Ada county, the market value of homes is worth more than the assessed value and in other parts of the county the actual market value is lower. The tax assessed values have traditionally lagged market values. In Ada county for instances it took them two years to catch up with market values and by that time the market was already moving backwards and they were assessed above market value. Needless to say, I don't envy assessors, they can … (0 comments)

idaho: Real estate investing - probably not a course I would recommend
- 10/10/09 09:20 AM
I always get a chuckle when I pass this sign sitting on on a lonely street corner. Something about it just screams successful real estate investor (that's sarcasm in case you didn't pick up on it). If you were really serious about real estate investing I'm doubtful that this is the avenue you should pursue. Chances are this investor bought into a "get rich quick" scheme and found out that the most lucrative means of making money the course taught was selling it to others. Like most multilevel marketing practices there's probably far more money made selling the system to family, … (10 comments)
idaho: Congrats to the Boise State Broncos on their win over UC Davis.
- 10/04/09 03:23 PM
Congrats to the Boise State Broncos on their win over UC Davis. Yes, it wasn't the blow out that everyone said it was going to be. US Davis came ready to play and it showed. I'm sure they were pumped to go up against a school ranked number 5 in the nation. It was a point of contention in our house because my wife is a UC Davis grad and rarely roots against the Broncos. Even though they weren't firing on all cylinders they showed class by sticking it out and coming back in the 4th quarter. They may have slipped … (0 comments)

idaho: Idaho news: Let Foldesi know he's a dirtbag, don't eat at Boobies.
- 09/27/09 11:44 AM
Here's a story from the Idaho Statesman that makes my blood boil: Stranger rents out Boise woman's home without her permission It's amazing to me that the state of Idaho hasn't put a stop to these antics. This guy is obviously scamming both the tenants and the owner of the property. I guess if Idaho's laws don't want to put a stop to it at least Boise's consumers can voice their option by refusing patronage to his local restaurant, Boobies.
