You Have to SELL a House to Get it Soldby Attorney William Bronchick

The market is slowing and investors are drowning in house payments. Is there an end in sight? Probably not. But, is there something you can do about it? Certainly dropping the price until you get it sold it one way to do it. I've got a better solution - SELL the house.
 
What amazes me is that most sellers don't sell their houses. They advertise houses, they list houses, but they don't SELL houses. In a good market you can rest on your laurels, but in … (0 comments)

buyers: The Basics of Foreclosure "Short-Sales" - 02/10/11 03:15 AM
The Basics of Foreclosure "Short-Sales"
by Attorney William Bronchick
You will likely come across dozens of properties in foreclosure with little or no equity, that is, the seller owes at close to or more than the property is worth. In these situations, lenders are sometimes willing to accept less than the full amount due, commonly referred to a "short pay" or "short sale."
 
Negotiating a short sale with the lender is a difficult process, generally because it is a daunting task finding a bank officer who has the authority to accept a discount. You will have to call around to … (0 comments)

In today's market where there are so many foreclosure and bank REO sales, figuring out the real value of a property can be difficult.  The comparable sales method is the most commonly used - and still the most accurate one - to determine the value of single-family homes, condominiums and smaller rental buildings (two to four units).
 
Start by researching information about sold properties on your local government Web sites for your target area.  Many tax assessor's offices and county courthouses offer searchable online databases that allow you to … (0 comments)

All About Property Disclosures
 
 

by William Bronchick, Esq
 
 
 
When you are selling a property there are certain disclosures mandated by state and federal law.  Do you know them?  Are there other disclosures that are recommended, even if not required?
This article will address those issues.
Federal Disclosures
 
Federal law requires disclosure of lead-based paint hazards on any property built before 1978.  This is generally done on an EPA-approved form, combined with giving the buyer a copy of the pamphlet, "Protect Your Family from Lead in Your Home", available from the EPA's … (0 comments)

5 Things You Should Know Before You Flip A Propertyby William Bronchick, Esq.
 
1. Money is made at the buy, not the sell of your flip. When flipping a house your money is made at the purchase not at the sell of the house. So, many times people buy a house with the intensions of making a huge profit only to find out that they could not make any money after all the renovations because the purchased price of the house was to high. When you purchase your property you need to be sure that you buy the house with … (4 comments)
