new orleans: 1031 Exchange

1031 Exchange
Could someone explain to me the Like Property clause of 1031 exchange? Today, some one told me that the like clause is of similar type. For example, I thought that the clause meant that if you sold a single family home you would purchase another single family home. Today, conversation led me to believe that if the property is an investment property it would have to be an investment property. Example: sell a single family home and purchase a duplex property. I think I understand the other rules of the 1031. This one has always caused me concern.

new orleans: Business Cards
- 04/06/07 07:25 AM
Do you hand out Business Cards anymore?
Recently, I am noticing more and more agents when they are viewing my listing they are not presenting a business card. Is this a new trend? I go thru about 1000 cards a month.

What is your take on this trend? Do agents not want to spend money on business cards? I will continue to give my cards out … (35 comments)

Garmin 330 GPS
I have used the Garmin 330, since the beginning of the year. It has a number of times shown value by finding property with relative ease. In New Orleans, where street signs have not made a come back using GPS is a great find.
Recently, on a weekend outing the Garmin 330 GPS relieve us of any thought of using a map. The biggest problem with using a GPS is having trust. You must relie on the GPS which is hard to over come. The GPS via voice control will tell you how to get to your destination. It … (9 comments)

How is activity in your area?
Spring has arrived and so has the buyers in my area. The property price range that is moving so fast we cant keep up is in the $150-200K. I have one listing that in the first 10 days had four offers. The buyers are presenting near asking price bids. In this case the seller needs a closing date after school let out. These buyers are having difficult working with this. Other listings, in the range $200k - $250 are starting to show similar action.

new orleans: New Orleans Medical Workers Needed
- 04/01/07 02:54 PM
Medical workers are in short supply in the Greater New Orleans area.
Affordable housing for medical is coming to the fore front here in New Orleans. The medical staff includes all disciplines: Doctors, Register Nurses, Respiratory Therapist, and all the remaining allied health professionals are in short supply.
Since Hurricane Katrina, many health care professional have relocated due to their home being lost or badly damage. The average pay for all medical personal has increase about 50% compared to Pre Katrina pay.
My thought is how we as Real Estate Professional, can help bring back these professionals which we all need. We … (2 comments)

New Orleans Home and Garden Show
The Louisiana Superdome is the site for the New Orleans Home and Garden Show. We visited the show on Saturday evening. It appears most vendors were involved with the rebuilding of property damage during Hurricane Katrina. There were two model modular homes on the floor of the Superdome for exhibit. Over all the show was nice. The crowd in my estimate was not to pre Katrina level.
