Buying Propery in the Boston Area When you care enough to find out it can easily be considered Real Estate 101, but it is not always practiced that way.  The rules that govern real estate are determined by each state and municipality in which the real estate exists, but the sales and marketing best practices are universal.  All real estate transactions have issues that need to be resolved along the way.  This is standard.  Most of the issues are small and easy to fix, some involve title which may impact your closing.  Financing is the usual culprit for slowing or derailing your closing. The job of a professional real estate consultant is to guide your client through the process by being the conduit through which real estate best practices meet faster sales for more money.

While people who are being foreclosed on in Quincy have rights, you as an investor must be conscientious of those rights while still knowing when it is time to stand up for your own rights. Yes, believe it or not, foreclosure investors have rights, too. Let’s take a look at one of these laws that is meant to protect the individual losing the home and how you can use the same law to help protect yourself. Right of Redemption The Right of Redemption law gives the previous homeowner, the one whose house was just foreclosed on, a certain amount of time after the sale of the foreclosure to “redeem” their property. This can be a big pain for foreclosure investors who are on a strict time crunch to get the house remodeled and back on the market for a profit. While the homeowner should have a c... 04/11/2012

There are many different ways to secure funds for foreclosure investing in Quincy. Many of the top investors have their own money allotments for foreclosures, or a tight relationship with a bank who views them as a small business. While this is great for the seasoned investors, where does that leave the new investors in the market? Let’s take a look at some popular funding options for buying foreclosed homes. Buyer Many times, when investing in foreclosures, you do not even need to have a bank loan, you just need to be able to identify a suitable buyer for the property that is willing to pay the right price.

Foreclosure investing in Quincy is extremely different than what most people envision it to be. The easy lifestyle proposed in TV infomercials or magazine ads is, for many, just a dream. These get-rich-quick commercial spots sell better than the truth; hard work and a lot of time and money invested. Let’s take a brief look at how to invest in foreclosures. Work People who are big into foreclosure investing usually put a good deal of time into their research and preparation for buying a foreclosed house in Quincy. Once the buying process is complete, it is time to put more work in fixing up the property and working with a realtor to get the house back on the market for sale.

In the foreclosure-investing world, it is important to have the right bank backing up your decisions. You want a bank who will work with you as quickly as possible in order to seal the deal and win the bid on that prime foreclosure.

There are four simple things to look for when determining if a bank is right for you and your foreclosure investment business.

You have just finished buying one of your Quincy foreclosures; now it is time to get it ready to sell as quickly as possible. Before you can sell your investment, you have to know what needs to be done, and you need a plan. Let’s take a look at some of the things you need to consider when thinking about how to flip a foreclosure. Market Value With all types of foreclosure investing, it is imperative that you know and understand market value in the area you are investing time and money. Without knowing market value, you may end up out-flipping your investment. Basically, you end up putting too much money into your improvements and the market will not allow for a return on investment when you put a Quincy house up for sale. Market value also helps you keep in mind your budget. If you have... 04/11/2012

Let’s take a look at some of the things to keep in mind before you push your paddle to the sky.

When you decide to search for homes for sale in Quincy  to purchase there are a lot of things to consider such as mortgages, down payments, timing and so on. I wanted to talk a bit about down payments in this blog post and how they are important. A down payment is the amount of money that you put down on the home that you are purchasing. That is simple enough to understand. However, the importance of a down payment goes beyond just that explanation. Simply put, as an example, if a house costs $200,000 and the buyer puts down 10 percent, or $20,000 toward the purchase, they will need to be approved for a mortgage of $180,000. The down payment basically lessens how much of a mortgage you need to take out. This may be the difference between qualifying for a mortgage or not. However, the be... 04/10/2012

For first time Quincy home buyers, the loan process can be extremely intimidating.

Many first time home buyers utilize the Federal Housing Authority (FHA) loan product. FHA has guidelines that must be met in order to qualify for the loan. These guidelines vary depending on which state you’re buying a house in. Here’s a quick overview of what to expect: loan limit as to how much the buyer can borrow... 04/10/2012
