My girlfriend and I recently stayed at the "Two Meeting Street Inn" in Charleston, SC, if you do not know it, it is very, very nice, right on the Charleston Harbor in downtown, here are some pics
 
 
Anyway, I really liked Charleston and if you know or are an agent in that area, let me know what you think of the market and if there is anything small in Charleston one could pick up for a good deal.

ray higdon: Calling All Realtors! - What makes you NOT want to work with investors? - 10/27/06 12:33 AM
During my span in real estate, I have always chosen to work as and with real estate investors. When I was doing mortgages, I knew I could make more "One-Time" money through homeowners as they typically are not as detail oriented but I felt for my mortgage business, I wanted to focus on those that would do multiple transactions with me, not make as much per transaction, but, get strong clients that buy more than one home a year. During this same time span, I noticed that a lot of realtors were not overly thrilled to work with me and or … (7 comments)

ray higdon: What is the best cashflow market? - 10/15/06 11:39 PM
Two years ago I was buying rental properties almost as fast as I could find them and now I just cannot get the numbers to work in my area. The way I liked my numbers to work was this: Take 1% of the purchase price and them add $150 per unit and your monthly income should be above that or equal to it. Here is an example:
Duplex priced at 100k, 1% is $1,000, 2 units at $150 each means $300 for a total of $1300 a month, so, if the duplex could rent for more than $1300 a month, I would … (4 comments)

ray higdon: Say Thank you! - 10/15/06 11:35 PM
If someone gives you advice, invites you to speak or helps you out, tell them thank you! This is so small and so little but can mean so much. Two associates and I run a real estate investing association and we bring in speakers every month to speak on different topics of real estate. Sometimes they are selling products, other times just getting their name out there but it is so rare to have a speaker email or even say "Thanks for having me". I have personally spoken at investor events in Naples, Ft Myers, Sarasota, Miami and just recently at a … (2 comments)

ray higdon: You have to cover the basics - 10/15/06 11:24 PM
To succeed in real estate as an investor, realtor, mortgage broker, whatever, you have to cover the basics to maintain longevity. As a wholesaler, I get properties under assignable contracts and sell those rights to the contract to other investors. There have been times I am putting under contract a house from the MLS that is a waterfront home and in the MLS listing there is not even one picture of the water! This is a very basic thing that as an investor or realtor, you have to take good pics. There have also been listings I have moved to other … (0 comments)

ray higdon: Make Money in a down Market - by Ray Higdon - 10/04/06 10:30 PM
Right now here in SWFL we are in a buyers market. The market shot up like crazy during 2004 and 2005 and now in most areas in swfl, we have had a correction. A lot of real estate people here have been panicking, still sticking to their same ideas and business practices they did during the hot years. These people are having a real hard time right now. People that bought pre-construction with the promises and hopes of a huge payday just are not seeing this at all. So what to do? Why am I writing this other than to bum … (2 comments)
