rhonda howlett: Virginia Historic Tax Credits! - 03/24/16 06:23 AM
Virginia Historic Tax Credits for Your Home Investment    There are still so many great opportunities to invest in historic properties in Downtown Richmond and it’s surrounding ‘Hills,’ including one of my favorites, Church Hill.  Many people who buy a home in hopes to renovate it, aren’t aware of the many resources available to them as an incentive to restore the city’s historic value and subsequently enhancing local employment and community activity.  Direct from Virginia’s Department of Historic Resources is this great question and answer segment of what qualifies, how to get started and other general knowledge for your next investment! … (0 comments)

rhonda howlett: Rehab Timeline for your Real Estate Investment - 03/16/16 04:49 AM
Real Estate Investment Rehab Timeline      The 3 major goals of any Real Estate investor are to stay in budget, stay on a timeline and make a return.  Every project is different.  Some investors feel comfortable buying a home that need minor repairs, some have the resources to rehab diamonds in the rough.  The best asset for either of these undertakings is a plan.  In a way, it’s comparable to cooking a gourmet meal.  You have to time everything right, in the right sequence and it’s all about multi-tasking and time management.  AND you want to do all of these … (1 comments)

The Only Real Estate Investment Mistake You Can't Fix 
      I love this article so much!  It draws a great comparison between real estate investing and learning how to play an instrument or sport.  While this may not seem comparable to some, I think the general advice imparted by the writer, Sterling White, is just all around great advice for any business practice and life for that matter! For those of you that know me, I'm all about motivation and I find this article encouraging and wanted to share it with you all. Don't waste another minute!

rhonda howlett: Is It Smarter To... - 03/07/16 09:45 PM
Renting Out Vs. Flipping and Selling           So, you already know that you want to invest in real estate. A lot of investors are looking to buy properties at highly discounted rates that need a little bit of work. Once you buy, is it smarter to flip a property and sell it or would it be better to rent it out?         First rule of thumb for any investment is buy at a discount.  Before entering into any financial venture, you want to realistically (not just hopefully, in all around best case scenarios) estimate what your return will … (4 comments)

Hop in Before It Gets Crowded!         The Real Estate Market is ever-changing.  Without a doubt.  There are predictions, trends, tricks, tips, you name it—  for every season.  But, because it’s ever-changing, what about the in-between times?  The Real Estate Market doesn’t  take a nap or a breather when it’s not quite spring, not quite summer, not quite fall— yet.  As is so apparent with my team’s recent trends, and my previous experience, that getting ready BEFORE the booming Spring market can actually mean you’ll be packing up before your boxes turn green with pollen and your neighbors green with envy. … (1 comments)
