I couldn't agree more with you Hunt.
A lot of people want to Lease, not Buy right now and I'm seeing properties in MLS for ridiculously low commissions. I won't even CONSIDER a property that offers less than 50% commission.
It's just not worth my time....so when I see these property owners put in 25 to 35% of 1 months' rent I just laugh at them. Do they honestly think I"m going to bring them a client ? NO WAY.
Further - many won't offer the same commission on a lease renewal.
So of course I advise my client to look for other properties when their lease is up.
Honestly - a good landlord is going to offer 75 to 100% of 1 month's rent.
These cheapos putting their listings into MLS for 25 to 35% crack me up.
Sure - someone will lease it - but it's not going to be MY client !!!
If you want me to work for you - you have to PAY ME.
Why is that so difficult for people to understand.
I'm bringing you a well qualified tenant - the LEAST you can do is offer me 1 month's rent.... more
Yes.... Loans have costs.
Transferring title has costs too..... But with no loan, less costs.

Hi Norma,
If your not already working with another agent I'd be happy to assist you in finding something that meets your needs.

I'm both a broker and investor and I'd be interested in hearing more about what you're wanting to sell. Please email me the price and specifics on the property. I can usually make a cash offer within a couple of days. Any photos would be helpful as well, but not mandatory.

1. If your agent showed you the home, chances are the home was still listed as "Active" since a offer had not yet been accepted.
2. Stop trying to use logic when working on pseudo-governmental entitites....it simply doesn't apply in these cases.
3. You've apparently done all you can do in this case (assuming you properly signed the FNMA addenda), so sit back and be patient. It's now out of your control.... more
Reduce the price you intended to offer for the house by the amount of the buyer agent commission. Then, either pay the buyer agent commission at closing or renegotiate (assuming you're under contract at that point) during the option period by increasing the sales price up to an amount that includes the buyer agent commission and have the seller pay same at closing.... more
The tax assessor will have a name and address. They have to have one on file in order to send the property tax bill and it is considered public knowledge so they have to tell you.
Hi there Deb,
Unfortunately, Trulia does not allow home buyers to sell their own homes on this site. In order to get your home on Trulia, you will need to work with a real estate professional.
The best solution for you would be to find a real estate pro who will work on a flat fee for you. This way, it will keep your costs down, maintain control of the sale of your home and get your home listed on Trulia.com
There are real estate professionals in Boca Raton who specialize in Flat Fee transactions. You can find such a profesional using our "Find a Pro" tool, found here: http://bit.ly/JADqcC
Let me know how else I can help!

Funding is kinda tricky these days. There are several factors that the Lender will consider when you apply for a mortgage. If you have a few issues to resolve I highly recommend a credit repair specialist that can get you back on track in as little as 30 days (depending on the severity of your credit). I can recommend a great VA lender as well as a phenomenal credit repair specialist! They are miracle makers! Let me know if you want more information. I am happy to help in any way I can. Call me.

Good call Dustin. You are correct about Little Elm. You get more bang...for your buck! The development is what you are investing in. That is what attracts Buyers/Tenants like yourself. No need to gamble on a outer-lying area to hold you hostage for 10+ years. Think what Little Elm is going to be like in 10 years! You will have options. Those homes are being built at a quality level and the area is properly zoned for a long-run. Plus - you have the benefit of children being able to attend Frisco ISD. My uncle owns Frisco Wholesale Lumber, Inc. They provide the wood for those builders. Give me a call or a direct email if you want to go check them out and get a better feel for the area.
Best,
Hunt

So... here's the deal... the vast majority of owner finance homes require between a 10% and 20% down payment... So if you have $6000... you would be looking for a home at $60,000 or less. There are not many of them out there... in fact.. there are only 27 as of this writing...
Here they are: http://sabor.connectmls.com/listings.jsp?dcid=C0CFC240956F2F68E040020A32011E0D
If you would like to go see any of these... give me a call. :)

There are lots of loans out there right now that you would definitely qualify for. There are many other factors besides just your credit score they will take into consideration. If you would like to be connected with a great lender please let me know. I would love to get you connected with a great interest rate as well. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you! I am happy to help.

Crime usally does'nt determine home prices, a good place to check out crime rates for different areas in and around Houston (and Tomball) if this is a concern to you can be checked at; www.neighborhoodscout.com/tx/houston/crime
Home sales are actually up this month, check out the HAR report. Still, the inventory of homes, foreclosures and new construction all play a part in the comparative market analysis for a particular area, and the local economy plays a big part too. If you plan on moving in the next five years you may want to avoid buying in an area where values have been deteriating and buy where value has remained more consistant. Check out the subdivision on a weekend when most people are home. Do you see familys out and about with children playing etc; ASK the neighbors who actually live there!... more

Who really knows in this economy....
In my view depending on areas and states, in some areas the market is doing ok these days
in other words buyers are buying, s o m e
But I fear that there are still a lot of short sales and foreclosures and just stressed properties coming on the market, keeping prices low, and only those buyers with secure jobs and good down payment
or cash purchases are actually buying these days.
I think some buyers have the courage to buy back but most of them not, and many sellers cannot afford to sell, as they will not have enough equity to buy the next home.
I want to think before all goes happy go lucky upwards we will need another 2 - 3 years, and I tell
all my buyers if you buy now, make sure you want to stay in the home for another 5 years before
deciding to sell and move on ....
But nobody really knows for sure.....

Are you looking to buy, fix and resell, or are you looking for rental property? I live in Garland and as the previous agents have stated, there are quite a few properties available in this area. It depends on what you are looking for and how much work you are looking to do. I've personally visited the majority of the listings in Garland priced below $70,000. Lots of great opportunities for someone willing to do a little work.
I live in Garland and office at Coldwell Banker Lakewood. I'd be happy to talk with you further about what you need and it would be a simple thing for me to schedule a tour of properties that can work for you.
