I hired a property manager from the largest and most respected real estate firm in my area. It was the best descision I ever made.   \n   My reasoning is that whoever was going to manage the property would be easily replaced. For the time they worked the property, their work would be well overseen and rewarded. They would have good connections for service to the porperty and a large number of referals for handymen and applicants for suitable renters.\n    As I said, it has worked out great. He just gets a little eager sometimes about renting to the first person that applies and I have to slow him down until more applications come in and the best one presents itself.

Yes, they are a cult.  What kind of a question is this?  How many realtors do you see?  I've seen mostly hispanic realtors so I guess it depends where you live.

It's best to have two or three banks in which will give you a construction loans on each house your building.  The construction loan should cover the cost of the land and 80% of the value of the home.  I hope that you already have your sub-contractors set up and ready to go, each sub will have to sign lien-wavier forms and you will supply that to the bank.  It's a lot of work but can be rewarding.  Good luck to you.

Unfortunately POP is looking at a blogger from San Francisco. In the Phoenix area we are seeing an influx of around 500 families per month.  What we are experiencing is a market correction.  Yes, prices have increased at an alarming rate over the last couple of years, and yes there are many people who have taken out adjustable rate mortgages, but we shall see what we shall see.\n\nWhat I can tell you for sure is that as of this very second there are 42,728 active listings in the Arizona Regional Multiple Listing Service.  Which is about a tenfold increase from two years ago but the average price on a 3 bed 2 bath home in the active listings is $459,614 with an average of 75 days on the market. So the bottom hasn’t fallen out yet.  I think that prices may continue to drop as the temperature goes up. \n\nOverall I think the best advice that I can give you is don’t panic.

I work for a builder and several buyers have used them.  I would say they are reputable.

I don't think the bubble's bursting, per se...not yet.\n\nI think property values have gone up enough that people who have been there for awhile are ready to cash out.

We ended up designing our own house but before we did you looked at a lot of houseplan books. They are available at most newstands. We settled on a plan we liked the most and then modified it to suit our needs. Enlarging some spaces and moving others. \n\nI did the actual drawing of the plans using a software package called TurboCad by IMSI. It was very useful. You can still get some of the older versions online at a reasonable price.

if your PMI exceeds 400 a month- something is wrong--check with a mortgage Broker- who represents different lenders- and get an opinion of you mtg deal- sounds like you got a less than wonder full mtg deal--perhaps because of poor credit ratings-- or maybe the home was bought for no down payment-some of these seem attractive-yet can be very costly because of high interest rates or added extras like PMI- go to a broker or bank ASAP- don't wait to find out what can be changed- do it ASAP- and hopefully- someone can find you a better deal, right now !!! i am a retired CPA & CFP and a former bank auditor--if i can be of further help to you- holler back at me- good luck to you !!

I have a friend that lives in this community and he and his family love it there. The homes seem very affordable as well.\n\nhttp://www.internest.com/presidiohomes/presidiohomes22025.asp

You'll get a lot more bank for your buck if you market yourself to local builders and realtors.  They will continually refer business to you throughout the year versus a consumer who may refer 1-2 loans to you every few years.  \n\nGet involved in local realtor and builder associations.  The membership is cheap and the networking opportunities are priceless.  \n\nIf you are deadset on marketing to consumers, make door holders to put on the doors of consumers, telling them the low payment they could have if they refinanced or bought a new home with a low rate. Actually show the math.  That's compelling!

Actuallly pretty good. Here is what I know, depending on the state in which you live, there are going to be some requirements for education, these are relatively brief, you also need a broker who will sponsor you for a license. And it helps alot if you SPELL correctly. I think your ability to make use of your contacts in your community is almost critical, having said this, you need to do some other things in terms of your "entity", like sole proprietor, it is the way in which you pay your taxes. And if you work for someone look at the requirements for at least minimum wage, as this is now the law for mortgage originators.

We bought a foreclosed home last year.  We found it listed in the MLS, right along with all of the other houses in the neighborhood.  Our Realtor showed it to us.  We made an offer and had an answer the same day.  It took six weeks to get a closing on a cash deal.  There was some extra paperwork, mostly releasing the bank from any liability for things not working.\n\nThe house had been vacant for 2 years, and had not been well maintained prior to that.  Once we had the power turned on we found that the furnace, fridge, and hot water heater did not work.  We fixed the hot water heater for $20 in parts and the furnace for an $85 service call.  We did have to buy a new fridge.  We have replaced all of the floor coverings, some drywall, gutted the kitchen & bathroom, made some repairs to the roof.  We are still messing with the plumbing.  We are very close to being done with the renovations (finally), and it is starting to feel like home.\n\nOn the up side of all of this, we got our house for less than half of its market value.  By doing the work ourselves we saved a ton of $$$ on the rehab.  I would go this route again.\n\nMy advice to you would be to locate a Realtor in your area.  There are some that specialize in this type of listing.

I live in a suburban area in a 7 bedroom, 4 bathroom house with a garden, pool and maidsquarters. We have just renovated our house making it alot more modern and added on a cottage for my grandaprents. It is alot nicer than it was. Most of the houses in my area are modern and nice. They aren't that cheap either.

Oh!  Another dragonfly!\n\nNo I haven't used them, and yes, I'd be worried about all of that data because you don't want a bunch of bozos pulling your credit report and driving your credit score down.  I used CTX Mortgage and they were good.  They are their own lender so their margins are bigger than many banks because they are lending out their own money.  Or try www.naca.com if it's your first home.
