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)

The Basics of Foreclosure "Short-Sales"
by Attorney William Bronchick

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

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.
