Is It Wise To Buy A Home In Henderson That Bank Of America Is Selling?

Posted under First Time Home Buyers, News, Short Sales

There are significant tax benefits, including capital gains deductions for property taxes and loan interest. A home appreciates in the long run and acts as a hedge against inflation. It helps diversify your assets, builds equity and provides a means of forced savings as you slowly pay down the principal.

Real estate also is a leveraged investment, unlike most others. If you put 10 percent or $20,000 down on a $200,000 house and it appreciates to $300,000, that translates to a 500 percent return.

On the flip side, homeownership often comes with hefty and unexpected repair bills. And values don’t always go up. Nearly a quarter of all homeowners with a mortgage owed more on their loans than their homes are worth in the last three months of 2009, according to First American CoreLogic.

But, like the proverbial pendulum, what goes down, always comes up…and now that pricing is at what many experts consider “the bottom”, you know what to do.

B of A Short Sale Approvals In Henderson Are Getting SO Much Easier…

Posted under Short Sales

Seems the 800 pound gorilla has been tamed somewhat…communication may still be the biggest obstacle in moving properties through the approval process, but once a human answers or replies, the conversations are…helpful and productive. 

Hey, I recently received another approval from them and it was one of a number I have that began BEFORE HAFA and they USED to always cut our hard earned brokerage commission. I sent an email to my assigned negotiator trying to massage her into succumbing to my incessant badgering and give the reduction back…her reply was calm and apologetic in that it was reduced by the investor who was actually aware of the HAFA guidelines…she said, “looks like you’ll not have to worry about that for some time.”

She’s right.

HAFA is one of the only methods of healing this country and retruning confidence to all of us as citizens. Each of us and our families deserves to live in a nice home we can afford and be proud of. Everyday, we move closer to this once grand goal. One day, it won’t be the nightmare most of us can’t seem to wake up from.

Why I Chose Real Estate As My Career…

Posted under Foreclosures, Short Sales

Initially as a college student, I saw numerous real estate agents in my town in Orange County driving the nice cars, living in the nice homes, taking the nice vacations and I wanted that life.

I  got it.

But then, with all the greed and horrific things that happened over the last few years in our country specifically in real estate, my focus changed. Dramatically.

No longer was income the main reason to be still involved.

So many of my friends and neighbors and people I didn’t even know were suffering so greatly and turning to me for advice and help;  more than I had ever spoken to before in my career.

And the common thread they were seeking was “I’m scared that Im going to lose my house. What should I do?”

And there I stood. Dumfounded.

How was I supposed to answer their question?

What WAS the answer?

Was there an answer?

Could I learn the answer or answers and help people with it?

I HAD to.

And I did.

I spent countless hours late into the night researching everything available relating to Loan Modification, Foreclosure, Short Sales and blecch, Bankruptcy.

And the final result?

To help the distressed homeowner, it was my opinion that the Short Sale route is in fact, THE solution and quickest path back to wholeness.

The hardest part of the entire process is letting the homeowner know that it’s OK to let go…it’s necessary for the healing process…it needs to become a business decision.

This I do everyday with my clients. This is my promise to each and every one of them.

I’ve set up a toll free 24 hour recorded hotline for anyone needing help. By calling it you can also request a free copy of my new book, “Should I Short Sale My Home?”
