remax: Results with HotPads
- 05/12/08 02:17 PM
Is anyone familiar with HotPads.com? I see that my postlets feed to the site, but I had never heard of it otherwise. I have just received 3 calls in 2 days from people who found my listing on HotPads. It seems like a good site. Is it worth looking into other than what I am currently feeding to it through postlets. Thanks, Mark … (18 comments)

remax: Virginia Beach Real Estate - Rental Property Management
- 05/04/08 01:56 PM
Considering the current state of the residential real estate market, many home sellers are finding it difficult to sell their homes. An option for some might be to consider placing their homes on the rental market. As a Agent, I can list property both for sale and for rent at the same time. Not many companies allow one agent to do both. A rental often must be referred to a separate property management department which essentially competes with the sales agent. Many real estate agents are now looking in different directions to find new business in a changing market. Some are looking … (0 comments)

remax: Capital Gains Tax on Residential Real Estate Transactions
- 04/28/08 06:13 AM
I often get asked about capital gains taxes that pertain to residential real estate that someone both has lived in and also rented to others. Currently, the capital gains tax rate is 15% of the gain. Now a property can be deemed a principal residence for tax purposes and sold without owing the tax if the following conditions apply: 1. You must have resided in the home for at least two of the last five years. The two years can be but do not need to be consecutive. 2. Another property cannot have been sold as a principal residence within two … (14 comments)
The entire Shore Drive / Chesapeake Bay beach area of Virginia Beach is a very desireable place to live. Sometimes it is referred to as Chicks Beach. Though I consider that to be the nickname of Chesapeake Beach, one of Shore Drive's unique neighborhoods. There is a wide variety in the types of homes in the Shore Drive cooridor. There are single family neighborhoods, condos, high-rises, townhomes, duplexes, deep waterfront, and bayfront. The area attracts families, young professionals, military personnel, and empty-nesters alike. Close by there are good schools, restaurants, marinas, and of course, the beautiful southern end of the … (2 comments)
remax: Rental Property in Cape Story By The Sea (Virginia Beach Real Estate)
- 04/17/08 09:19 AM
Do you own rental property in Cape Story By The Sea? I do, and I also live there. I believe that property in the neighborhood is an excellent long term investment, maybe having the best future appreciation potential in all of Virginia Beach. Its proximity to the Chesapeake Bay, First Landing State Park, and the Lynnhaven River watershed, make the neighborhood very desirable. I am REALTOR with RE/MAX Alliance. I sell homes but also manage residential rentals. If you own a home in the neighborhood that you rent out or are considering renting your home, or if you are looking to buy in Cape Story, please give me a call. I … (1 comments)
remax: ARMs, Interest Only, and the "Mortgage Crisis"
- 04/07/08 09:53 AM
With all the talk of a potential government bailout for the current situation with the increase in foreclosures and short sales, I have some concerns. First off I will say that I have true compassion for those who have had their incomes drop due to the current economic situation, and are trying to provide a home for their families. I feel for those who were coerced into "getting in over their heads" and sold ridiculous loans by lending institutions. Also I regret that some in the real estate and mortgage industries took advantage of lax regulations and the public's ignorance of those industries. … (3 comments)

remax: Sale or Rental Listings on Craigslist
- 03/05/08 12:56 PM
Who has luck with craigslist for finding renters or buyers? I have been posting rental and sale listings for a year or so. I do tend to delete and repost often to keep my listings higher up on the list, and that is sort of a pain. I am not sure it is worth it as if a search is made old posts will be found for a 45 day period. Thanks, -Mark … (22 comments)
