What does the law require on Tenant Selection Criteria? This question has came up in our property management office meeting today and I can only answer for the law in Texas as this is where I have my real estate brokers license.  According to the Texas Property Code 92.3515 , a landlord must "make available" to the applicant a printed notice of the landlord's tenant selection criteria and the grounds for which the rental application may be denied at the time the applicant is provided with a rental application. The tenant selection criteria may include the applicant's :   Criminal history  Previous rental history  Current Income  Credit History  A landlord may have other criteria included.  Additionally, the Texas Property Code states that failure to provide accurate or complete informat...

  Special Government Home Renovation Loan Program with Wylie TX FHA 203k Loans.     Many people are not aware of a special government loan program that is part of the Federal Housing Administration or FHA(a department within HUD). Existing home owners or potential home buyers can remodel and update their homes without having a higher cost second lien because of this FHA loan program.         The loan program does not allow for “luxury items” which are defined as items like a swimming pool or hot tub, etc. Repaint, remodel cabinetry in kitchens and bathrooms, add wallpaper, replace appliances and flooring and even a add a room to an existing structure (which will increase the value of the homes square footage).         This loan program has many advantages but one of the biggest is that ...

The residents in Wylie have much to talk about. Once a sleepy little town located between the Lakes of Lavon and Ray Hubbard it is now booming with life and is considered to be one of the fastest growing communities in Collin County, Texas. But the heart of Wylie lies in its historical downtown area where small businesses support and contribute to the well-being of the community.  Wylie has a new business downtown that promises to bring happy feet to anyone who is willing to kick up their heels. The Wylie Social Dance Center has opened its doors and offers the opportunity for you to find your happy dance. To find out more about the Wylie Social Dance Center click here to visit them.

  Wylie Texas Market Report for Home Sales July 2014 The median sales price for a Wylie home is up since last year this time by +7.9%.  Days on market has also decreased by 10 days but the inventory of homes is really low! This time last year there were 204 homes on the market for sale, with this July only 158 homes for sale on the market in Wylie.   This is the time to sell your home. Low inventory drives up prices for a sellers market! I sold a couple a home in Wylie in 2011. The home was not a foreclosure, just a seller who wanted to move. The home was $189,900 and the seller paid the buyers closing cost of $6,379. so my buyer actually only paid $183,900 . My client decided to list this home in June 2014.  First, they called and asked my opinion of the market in their subdivision. Wh...

Why Renters come to Wylie Texas..A Rental Market Report Wylie Texas is a great place to raise a family ! I know because I raised my family here! My kids all graduated from the awesome Wylie School District . I think renters come to Wylie for the schools and the smaller town atmosphere. However, Wylie has grown since I moved here in 1994. We didn't realize what a small town it was until it grew! There used to be NO rental homes in Wylie back in the 90's. If one did come up,  it was gone quickly. Today however there is a wide variety of rental homes to choose from. Some are privately owned and some are owned by investors who use a Property Management company like us! Wylie Texas Rental Market Average Price Range As you can see from the chart above the price ranges usually will fit any bud...
