Ways to Save Money Buying Real Estate – B.FREE to save


Ways to save money when buying real estate to include some things to be aware of as a buyer. The due diligence for a buyer should involve these things. Go to www.freetosave.net for a complete list of the things you should know as a buyer buying in this world of short sales and foreclosures.

What Your Ontario Real Estate Agent Won’t Tell You – Part III

1. Showing you bad houses to buy before showing you the target house.
Your Real Estate will first show you a series of houses in terrible condition and is overpriced. Then, after you see your terrible selection and you believe these houses are what you after to work with. Once that belief is set in, then your Real Estate Agent will show you a nice house.

By the Law of Contrast, a valuable house looks even more valuable when it comes after a worthless house.

If you find yourself viewing houses that are just rip offs, be careful when you see a decent house. It is actually less valuable than you believe. You Real Estate Agent may even try to compliment those worthless houses so that when decent house shows up, you believe it’s your perfect home!

2. Making you travel to look at the houses you want to buy first.
This is a very common practice and it would seem to make sense. You would need to look at the houses before buying it, correct? Well, there is reason behind the Real Estate Agent wanting you to travel and spend your valuable time staring at these houses. By spending so much time on one house, it becomes too much of an effort to find your perfect house. You end up settling for your less than desired house.

What should be happening is that before looking at the house, you should request a comparable analysis. Your Real Estate Agent has statistical information about the houses you are looking at and houses similar to what you are looking at. This statistical information reveals the market value of the home and whether the home is worth you TIME. By not showing you the comparable analysis, the time, effort and pain it takes for you to search for a home causes you to make a decision faster. If the Real Estate Agent shows you the comparable analysis first, it reduces the pain and you would wait longer to decide. Also, the Real Estate agent has to spend time to create the comparable analysis report where most likely, they would not want to do.

Rule of thumb: Find a Real Estate Agent that will give you the comparable analysis first.

Now, this isn’t to say you should never look for the house first.

There is one exception.

When you first meet your new Real Estate Agent, there is some level of concern on the agent’s side. The agent is spending valuable free time on you, gambling that you would buy a house through him. So if you start off by requesting comparable analysis, he will not do it. Any honest Real Estate Agent would not do it. A comparable analysis is valuable information that the Real Estate Agent gets for being a Real Estate Agent. They need to pay a fee to be a Real Estate Agent.

What the Real Estate Agent needs to know, is that you need to provide some “level of comfort” that you will certainly buy the house through him in order to get the comparable analysis. To me, this is fair because if the Real Estate Agent is going to spend the time on you to help you find a home, then it would only be fair that you buy through him and let him get the commission.

The legal way to show this “level of comfort” is to sign the 90-day commitment contract that indicates you would only work with him and no other agent for 90 days. This legal way is by no means the only way nor is this a bad way, either. It is only a matter of preference and your relationship with your Real Estate Agent that determines the best approach.

3. Encouraging you to put a high security deposit when writing up a contract to purchase your desired home.

A security deposit informs the seller you are interested in purchasing the property and the amount lets the seller know how serious you are. The higher the amount, the more serious you are.

The moment the contract is agreed upon by both parties and signed, you must provide the security deposit within the set time specified in the contract. This security deposit is suppose to be returned to you if the contract becomes null and void, if the conditions (usually financing and inspection) specified in the contract fails.

Now, this procedure seems to be fair. Here is where the problem lies:

If the contract becomes null and void and you want your money back, all parties must sign a form called a Mutual Release. This signature must include the buyer, buyer’s agent, seller and seller’s agent. If any one party does not sign, you will not get your money even if the contract has been null and void. If anyone party refuses to sign, you have to go through court, most likely small claims court, to settle your dispute and if you know anything about the court system in Canada, you know your court date could be as long as two years away!

You should never be serious in buying house. It is poor negotiating tactics. If your Real Estate Agent encourages you to put a high security deposit, it is because your Real Estate Agent wants you to be serious about purchasing the property even though it is poor negotiating tactics.

The reality is your security deposit can be very difficult to get back. Sadly, this is the general process in most home buying transactions and it is a very poor process.

And did you know…

IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO PUT A SECURITY DEPOSIT AT ALL!

There are no limitations to a contract. It is only a matter of agreement. You can write anything you want on the contract as long as both party agrees. My suggestion is to encourage your Real Estate Agent to only provide the deposit after the contract passes the conditions. This is possible, but only if your Real Estate Agent is willing.

Once again, I cannot stress this enough, to find a Real Estate Agent do not search through the Internet and pick the first one you see. Good salesmen do not make good Real Estate Agents.

You are also certainly welcome to e-mail me your good and bad home buying experiences. I may or may not choose to post them up.

Todd Proa Reveals Some Common Blunders Made by ?first-time? Real Estate Investors

Todd Proa Reveals Some Common Blunders Made by “First-time” Real Estate Investors

Todd Proa says (so does everyone else for that matter! :) ) that blunders often result in failure and heavy losses. None of the initial starters in any business, be it a real estate business or writing business, can know everything about it and hence are prone to making mistakes. Todd Proa, a researcher of the real estate industry from Upstate New York, says “to avoid committing blunders, dig facts before committing yourself to the cause! One can avoid a mistake only if he/she knows what the mistake is!!!” It is suggested by Todd Proa that if you want to avoid blunders/mistakes then you must search for a good mentor or take guidance from someone who is a good real estate agent so that your mistakes do not get converted into blunders.

Todd Proa cites some of the common blunders that initial real estate investors are prone to commit, often leading them to heavy losses, are:


Becoming over-confident and covering every market: Todd Proa is of the view that, typically, new real estate investors’ sign up for all sorts of lists and receive emails about real estate deals all over the country. Todd Proa, as researcher of the real estate industry, suggests that ideally a real estate investor, who is new, must keep his focus on his own local market first. After attaining good understanding about one’s local market, one should think about venturing into buying properties in other market areas. Todd Proa suggests that a new real estate investor, having a strong and reliable partner or guide who can help him fully, should make a couple of deals in his own area and only then think of venturing in other market areas.


Wrong estimate of the amount of work it takes: Often, it has been seen that seminars and boot camps misguide new real estate investors that they can make easy and fast money by becoming a real estate investor. The truth according to Todd Proa, a real estate industry researcher from Upstate New York, about real estate investments is that like other businesses real estate investment also takes loads of time and effort to climb up the stairs of success. It is important to understand that no deal is going to fall in your lap overnight just by attending seminars and meetings! Be patient. Todd Proa says that real estate investment requires persistent marketing, building good relationships with those who are already in field like realtors, attorneys, appraisers, mortgage brokers etc. and be aggressive at going after the deals.


Lack of planning – Todd Proa believes that lack of planning and not planning in advance is the biggest mistake that often turns up into a blunder. A real estate investor must find a house after making a proper investment strategy rather than looking a house to fit the plan. Majority of new real estate investors purchase a property just because they are getting a good deal and after that they try to fit it into their plan. Todd Proa suggests that the investors should ideally concentrate on the number and try to make offers on multiple properties. This will help them to ensure a good property that will not only match their investment model but will also work out well with the numbers they had planned for.

Remax All Season Real Estate

Four Seasons Real Estate

Lake Country Real Estate

Dover ID Real Estate

Evergreen-Realty

Now let’s face it, some people make good agents and others don’t. I have experienced both good and bad Sandpoint Idaho real estate agents. Years ago, when I was renting a house that was on the market, I had a situation that bugs me to this day. The real estate agent came to the house when we weren’t home to show it to a prospective buyer. For whatever reason he didn’t have a way in to the main house, but knew that there was a key in the garage / shop. He had his little boy with him so he got creative. An open window in the shop area allowed him to lower his kid into the room, and unfortunately down on to a balsa wood RC airplane that I had been building. The kid stepped on the wing and broke a piece off. They got what they needed and left, leaving me a little note that said, “No key, got one from shop, sorry about plane.” I called him about it and he told me that’s what happens sometimes. That’s it! No apology, no offer to remunerate me. I lost some respect that day for that agent.

But, I realize that not all Sandpoint, Idaho real estate agents are that way by any means. In fact, one of the best business experiences I’ve ever had came from working with an agent that was a real pro. She constantly kept us informed, did everything possible to ease our concerns and stresses along the way through negotiations, and in the end even gave us some wonderful house warming gifts.

If I were buying or selling real estate in the Sandpoint area, and needed an agent today, I would do some careful research first. I would consider the Sandpoint Idaho real estate agents, their reputations, how satisfied previous clients are, and then pick one that I trusted and thought would be energetic in working to assist me in my goals.

Denver Real Estate – a Guide to Home Buying

For some people, finding a perfect property to buy is challenging. Throw the current economic hardship into the equation, and the process gets even tougher. Fortunately, many people are in the same situation. Here’s a rundown of tips from some of Denver’s leading real estate experts.

1.Choose the wrong mortgage: With the advent of instant refinancing, home loans are no longer the lifetime obligations they used to be. Still, you don’t want to be saddled for even a short period of time with the wrong one. Investigate all your options, then lay your choices side-by-side and do the math, making sure to compare worst-case scenarios. Be sure to look at initial interest rates, future interest rates and payments (if different), and the possibility of prepayment penalties.

2. Confuse “pre-approved” and “pre-qualified” with a loan commitment: These are debatable terms in real estate because not all lenders apply the same definition to each expression. In fact, one leading real estate dictionary contains neither expression because their definitions are uncertain. According to one school of thought, however, when you are “pre-qualified,” the lender is making an educated guess about how much you can borrow based on information you’ve provided. When you are “pre-approved,” the lender has verified everything you have told him or her and is offering to lend you up to a given amount at current interest rates — under certain conditions. Whether pre-qualified or pre-approved, final clearance and a check at closing — a loan commitment — are subject to an appraisal satisfactory to the lender, good title, a last-minute credit check, and other verifications. When meeting with lenders, always ask how they define each term and what additional steps will be required to obtain a loan.

3. Have too much credit: Excessive credit is almost as bad as no credit or even bad credit. Even if you pay your bills on time, lenders tend to focus just as much on how much credit you have available to you as they do on timeliness. So being up to your ears in car loans and credit cards is a sure way to be turned down for a mortgage. Postpone any big ticket purchases until after you buy your house.

4. Lie on your loan application: Exaggerating your income on a mortgage application or putting down other untruths can be a federal offense. Lenders rarely prosecute liars. But if they find out later, they can call your loan due and payable. Don’t ever sign your name to a loan application that is not completely filled out, either. Loan officers have been known to stretch the truth to get a client approved, but it’s the borrower who ends up paying the price, often in the form of monthly loan payments he can’t afford.

5. Hide if you can’t make your payments: The worst thing you can do is ignore phone calls and letters from your lender when you are behind on your payments. Lenders have many options at their disposal to help keep borrowers from losing their homes to foreclosure. But they can’t do anything for you unless they can talk to you about your difficulties. Lenders are the enemy only if you give them no other choice.

6. Skip a home inspection: Failing to make your purchase contingent on a satisfactory home inspection could be a costly mistake. Independent home inspectors examine houses from stem to stern. They’ll be able to tell you whether the roof and/or basement leaks, whether the mechanical systems are in good shape and how long the appliances should last. They can’t report on things they can’t see, but at least their trained eyes are better than yours. So don’t pass just to save $300-$400; that’s money well spent.

7. Hire just any agent to sell your house: All real estate agents are not the same. You want to look for those who specialize in your neighborhood and are top producers. Ask your candidates how they plan to market your house, what you can do to make the place more attractive to prospects and how much you should ask. If you don’t like any of the answers, looks elsewhere. And above all, stay away from relatives. Unless Aunt Bessie or Nephew Nick fit the description above, keep looking.

8. Fail to check out a remodeler: Never, ever hire a contractor who knocks on your door or says his prices are good for only a few days. Reputable remodelers don’t solicit door-to-door, and they don’t cut prices just because they happen to be in your neighborhood. Check out a potential contractor thoroughly by calling several of his past clients, your local better business bureau, his bankers and suppliers, and your local consumer affairs agency.

9. Pay too much upfront: If a contractor asks for more than a third of the contract price as a downpayment, chances are something’s wrong. At worst, he’s a scam artist who has no intention of returning after he cashes your check. At best, he’s undercapitalized and can’t afford to purchase materials on his own. Or, in between, he could be using your money to pay workers on another job. Never give a contractor cash, either.

10. Burn your mortgage: It’s a wonderful feeling when you make your last house payment. After all, the place is now yours, all yours. Many people celebrate by holding a mortgage burning party. But they torch the original document. Don’t. Make a copy and burn that instead. Keep all your loan docs in a safe place.

With that advice in hand, home buyers can rest assured that they will make wise investments at the right time.

Stealth Market Penetration: Tap emerging hot real estate markets while your competition is busy chasing the technology dragon or running to the hardware store for more signage.

Cost Efficiency: When you sit down and crunch the numbers, the costs of advertising, whether it’s in newspapers, on the Internet or on some form of signage, can quickly soar out of control. Infinite Scalability: With direct mail, you set the limits and can count the return on your real estate ROI (return on investment). You can send as many – - or as few mailings as you wish in whatever markets you desire. Dependability: Snail mail gets the job done regardless of the weather, it never expects a raise or requires management like employees do. Building Credibility: When you send put a quality mailing in a local area, you’re building a name for yourself and your business in a way that other real estate marketing methods can’t touch. Campaign Flexibility: You can start and stop and otherwise modify your real estate campaign mailings on a whim. Better Deals: The more leads you have, the more selective you can be about the deals you select to build your business. Limited Competition: Other media, such as newspapers and the Internet can’t keep your business secrets. With direct mail real estate marketing,  your competitors have no way to know what your sending and how often.

Watch Your Bottom Line
