Experts say that it is just as possible today to become wealthy in real estate as it ever was but you’ll need 3 things to get started; good credit, at least some cash and of course the right strategy. The big question is what are the proper strategies? Plenty of us have good credit and “some” cash but what’s the secret ingredient to becoming the next Donald Trump? Here’s the right way to “flip” your way to fame and fortune!Fixing up rundown homes and selling them for a profit is still one of the best ways to make it big in real estate but there are a few “catches”. First of all you will definitely need some cash to get started. Obtaining a mortgage for a fixer upper is more difficult than getting bank approval for a home that you intend to live in and be forewarned; you will be competin...

Whether you are in the process of selling your home, or just considering it, it’s imperative that you know what attracts today’s homebuyers the most. You might be surprised to find out that what you thought was a great selling point may not be as popular as you had hoped.As one could guess, the most important feature that almost all homebuyers want is energy efficiency. 94% of home shoppers want appliances that are energy star rated, and an almost equal 91% want the entire home to also be rated efficient.  3rd and 4th on the energy saving wish list were energy star rated windows at 89% and ceiling fans at 88%. Considering the high cost of utilities today, it’s no surprise that home buyers consider saving money to be the first consideration when they have decided it’s time to invest in t...

While shopping around for that perfect place to call home, it's not uncommon for buyers to overthink or have doubts about a home, even if they love it.  They greatly want to picture themselves in a certain house and if they can't see themselves there at all, even if they love the house, they will start to spin circles and then by the time they decide, there's already another offer on the table.     As a buyer it's important to know what you want in a home and to have confidence that any house you buy will become a "home".  Whether you're a single couple buying their first home, a growing family or empty nesters, you will still go through life stages in the house, you'll make memories there without even realizing it and you'll eventually no be able to picture yourself living anywhere els...

When buying or selling a home, there are processes beyond just the signing of a contract.  The appraisal of the property at stake plays a significant role in the closing of the property, in fact, it can be the making or breaking of a contract.    When a home is listed, it is up to the real estate agent to help the seller list the property at fair market value.  A real estate agent uses their tools to ensure the property is listed at a good and fair price, while an appraisal is what helps the bank and customer that's financing a home, ensure that they aren't taking a risk in financing more for the home than the home is actually worth.  A person could ask $500k for a home, but if it's only worth $300k after the appraisal, the bank will only finance up to the value of the property.  Of cou...

When it comes to selling your home, you, as well as the agent that you work with want you get the best offer out there for your home.  It's nothing new for a buyer to strive for a good profit so they are inclined to ask the most for their home as possible.  When agreeing on the price to sell your home for though, think about the range of price that your potential buyers are looking for when it comes to home shopping.  If you have a house that you want to sell for at least $345,000, you may be inclined to want to list it for $351-$360,000 to allow for some negotiation room.  While that makes reasonable sense, those looking for a home to buy for $345,000 will probably search for homes that are listed in the $320,000-$350,000.  If you price your home at even $351,000, your home loses sight...
