July was an absolute rocking month for sales in Central Florida.  Realtors with our office sold some 44 properties in Central Florida during July 2011.  It is amazing just how cheap you can buy properties for right now.  I posted on Facebook on last month asking just how low can you buy a 3 bedroom concrete block house in a decent neighborhood for.  In February, we broke the record and sold a 3/2/2 for just $11,000.  But then in June we broke that record yet again and sold a 4/2 for only $6,000.  Seriously, if you are not buying property now you apparently just don't want to make money.  Check out these deals.                       Sugar Bay                                         Dressel                                   Chatsworth 1.  Sugar Bay Way, Lake Mary, FL 32746. 2 bed/2 bath 1...

Despite what the media may be saying, the Orlando Florida real estate market is booming.  Prices are at 20 year lows in many areas and the deals are spectacular.  Our firm has been specializing in great investor deals since we opened for business in 1996.  We work the short sale, foreclosure / REO, HUD home, probate, sinkhole, and fixer upper market right here in Central Florida.  The particular home mentioned in this video is a HUD home that our We Buy Houses Florida division put under contract last week.  It is a 3 bed/2 bath/2-car garage, 1508 square foot home, built in 1988 located on a big corner lot.  It has a beautiful kitchen with all appliances still intact, screened porch, and fenced backyard.  The inspection report came back fairly clean other than a little wood rot on the si...

According to a recent Fannie Mae Survey: Americans Still Aspire to Own a Home  A new study released by Fannie Mae finds that most Americans - both those who currently own their homes and those who rent - strongly aspire to own a home and to maintain homeownership, despite ongoing turmoil in the housing market. The most recent installment of this survey, released in November, showed that aspirations toward homeownership remain strong - well in excess of current homeownership rates - but decisions to buy are tempered by current consumers' cautious attitudes toward home buying in the current financial environment and a more conservative housing finance environment.Key findings:•·         51% reported the housing crisis had little or no impact on their intentions to buy or rent•·         Th...

Can I make changes to my listing once it has been inputted into the MLS? Yes. We allow unlimited changes to your MLS listing during the first 14 days. After that we allow 1 change per week with a maximum of 20 changes during the life of the listing. We are quite liberal with allowing changes as long as we feel we are not being taken advantage of. All changes will need to be in writing and submitted on a Status Change Form. Can I use my own For Sale By Owner sign? We recommend that you use our company For Sale sign. Other Realtors often get confused or nervous about not getting paid their commission if they do not see the Listing Realtor's sign in the yard. If you do want to use your own sign, we recommend that you write the MLS # on the sign along with the words "Brokers Protected." Tha...

By my nature, I am an optimist that does his level best to present the facts that allow my readership to make their own informed  decisions. Clearing up a few myths... Social security will run out in 2016 if something is not done right away is  not quite an accurate statement. Click here to see an interesting article from a senior editor at Money Magazine. "It seems like everyone got away with insider trading when the market crashed" ...well not exactly. It has been announced that an Ex-Morgan Stanley Banker will have 7 years to think about his lack of good judgment. Click Here to see his story of incredible greed.

What you don't know could cost you! I am sure everyone has heard the "gloom and doom" news about short sales and foreclosures.  As I am also sure there are some very confused, homeowners out there.  I get asked on a frequent basis ,what is the difference between a short sale and foreclosure, they both effect your credit don't they?  True but I have placed just a few differences between short sales and foreclosures below: 1. With a foreclosure your credit score may drop from 250 to more than 300 points, however with a short sale your credit score may drop as little as 50 point. 2. Foreclosure's will stay on your credit for 10 years or more, short sales are not specifically reported on a credit history.  The loan is typically reported 'paid in full, settled'. 3. With a foreclosure you wil...

How many of us have dealt with closing docs not at the title company after Lender says they are sending Documents?  What is so hard with submitting the package in a timely manner?  Is it they want to give us a nervous breakdown, or they just don't get it.   It doesn't affect only the Clients.  It is a chain reaction waiting to just BREAK!!! Do the Buyers go ahead and pick up the U-Haul or wait till tomorrow? ? Sellers can't do a second closing on the purchase of their new home because they need the HUD for their previous home that is waiting to close.  Buyers can't move out of their apartment because they have no were to go. Do the Seller's allow the Buyer's to move in?  What is your problem, the package is on the way?   Hello it's 4:15pm, is it really coming.  Don't forget it is a mail...

The City of Deltona made a public announcement last month that for anyone filing a lawsuit against them, the city would seek to recover their attorneys fees from the person filing the lawsuit if the city wins.  This has always seemed like the fair thing to me.  If you sue me and you lose, then you should be required to pay my attorneys fees.  Why should I be required to pay the fees when you were the one that generated the expense???     It may sound crazy, but in most states including Florida unless there is a specific statute or it says so in the contract, everybody pays their own attorney fees whether they win or lose.  The "ambulance chasing" law firms that advertise on TV and radio hate this idea of loser pays for both sides' fees.  Why? Because it discourages lawsuits from being f...

Where did hard money come from? Hard Money Loans in general have traditionally been only for investors seeking to purchase real estate quickly and with little documentation. Investors by nature are much more educated about their financial situations and options since they are utitlizing their sources and going through the lending process much more frequently than the average home owner. Investors didn't want to have to go through a 30-45 loan process every time they purchased a new investment property. Often times their investment projects were time sensitive and needed to be quickly financed or they would lose the deal. Enter Hard Money.Historically hard money was meant to lend money to anyone based only on the equity position of the property. Hard money commercial loans and residentia...
