Agreements For Sale

What Is Title Insurance & Why Do I Need It?

One of the most commonly asked questions I get asked when speaking with investors is “what is title insurance and why do I need it”?  Typically investors feel like title insurance is a waste of money because they may not plan to hold the property for more than a couple of days but what they…

Good news about the HOA changes that went into effect January 2012!

I know that HOA has become a bad term over the last few years.  Just like the rest of us, the homeowner’s associations have had a rough few years.  That being said, a lot of people feel the HOA’s have taken advantage of their need for additional cash flow at the expense of all of…

WELCOME 2012!

Another year another dollar…. 2011 was a much better year than anticipated, I think we can all agree to that!  With all the Nay Sayers in the press and the bad economy we have made it through another year.  Congratulations to those investors who did not have to go back to corporate America to make…

Buying property with 401k/IRA funds

What are foreign investors buying right now?

It has been my experience that foreign investors seem to be very cautious when it comes to investing in Arizona.  They seem to go with the times and invest in the “next best thing”.  I sometimes ask myself why in the heck anyone would invest in this type of property or that type of property…

Buying Property from an Estate

Keeping your mind open to all possible avenues of profit is what is preached over and over to investors.  An option some people shy away from is buying from an Estate because most people envision a sobbing widow or an adult child signing contracts in the middle of their loved ones living room who has…

Investing in Multi-Unit Properties

As the residential market drags across the “bottom” we have all been waiting for, now is the time to keep your options and mind open to all the opportunity whirling around us.  One facet of the market that has been picking up steam is the multi-unit property arena. Multi-unit or multi-family property investing is not…

Buying REO (Bank Owned) vs. Buying at Trustee Sale

Arizona investors have quite a few options for investing right now. The deals are every where you look. Unlike years past when your investment strategy was adjusted every couple of years, investors now seem to adjust every couple of months to keep up with the ever changing market trends.
