October 2008
Real Estate Investing by Grant Conness | October 31, 2008A Tenant in Common 1031 Exchange, a (TIC), allows the owner of investment, business or income producing property to exchange it for a fractional ownership in another large commercial property or multiple industrial grade properties. When the IRS requirements for this type of exchange are followed, capital gains and depreciation recapture taxes may be deferred. [...]

The following will help you find the average property rental price in your area. Read your local newspapers. As you read through the classified adds, make sure you are comparing apples to apples.

Real Estate Investing by Jason Hanson | October 30, 2008I’m in Florida all this week, and I’ll be spending Halloween in Tampa (so, if I have too much fun and end up in jail or drowned in the ocean, you may not hear from me for a while…..especially if I drowned). By the way, I decided I’m going to be Uncle Sam for Halloween [...]
Landlord Tenant by Brendan O'Brien | October 30, 2008This post is really for snow-belt landlords. Here in New Hampshire, snow season can start as early as November and continue into May. Unless you are renting SFRs, or have some other arrangement where the tenant is responsible for outdoor care, it is up to you to take care of the snow and ice on [...]
Commentary by Rosie Nieto | October 29, 2008Well it’s true. Why do I know this? Because I run my own real estate club where we bring investors quality education and networking at an affordable price without all the hype. What this means is that my meetings and events stay away from the “pitch fest” that one might experience at other events. Sounds like a great plan right? BUT – [...]
Real Estate by Anwell Tsai | October 29, 2008In a Comparative Market Analysis, adjustments to comparable property oftentimes are made to reflect the motivations of a delineated market area’s typical buyer and seller. Adjustments for conditions of sale reflect the motivations of buyers and sellers when they are not typically motivated and purchases do not reflect arm’s-length transactions. ADJUST FOR SALES BETWEEN RELATIVES/FRIENDS [...]
Commentary by Ted Karsch | October 28, 2008Real estate investors can often become so preoccupied with the mechanics of buying and selling real estate that they forget to make the most important investment of all; an investment in themselves. It can seem especially difficult in today’s economic landscape to take the time and energy to take care of and improve yourself but [...]
Housing by Charles Feldman | October 28, 2008Is it here? Has it finally arrived? Is it the much wanted, needed, begged for light at the end of a bankrupt tunnel? Is it, at last, our collective salvation from a year and a half of financial flu that threatens to turn people around the globe–or their investments at any rate–into dust? Probably not. [...]
Mortgages & Lending by Steve Heideman | October 27, 2008The Chinese have a saying: “May you live in interesting times”. Well, I don’t think there are many people out there who think that things have been boring lately. In the last weeks, mortgage markets whipsawed as the Dow Jones Industrial Average recorded both its largest one-day point gain and second-largest one-day point loss in [...]
Blogs by Richard Warren | October 27, 2008Back in May I posted an article suggesting that the Las Vegas real estate market may finally be showing signs of life. Since that time we have seen a continuation of the banks dumping foreclosed properties on the market and prices falling further. We have also witnessed the cancellation or delay of several projects including [...]
Commercial Real Estate by Rob Powell | October 26, 2008Greetings from Flagstaff, AZ. With a car full of kids and a plan for a perfect family vacation…. I will be making my way up to the Grand Canyon then off to Sedona, AZ for a week. By the way…the perfect plan flew out the window the first hour of the trip. During my long [...]
Commentary by Rob K. Blake | October 25, 2008We all know both the US government and the Federal Reserve are going full bore with one tweak after another to “save” the banking system and supposedly, thereby the economy. At least, that’s their argument to Congress and the American people. Hank Paulson and Ben Bernanke on news talk shows or testifying in front of [...]
Real Estate by Brendan O'Brien | October 24, 2008I think the answer is yes, meaning this is not the time to put your money into Utah. I like to poke around other real estate markets from time to time, partly because New Hampshire, where I live, has seen stagnant rents for the last five years. There has to be a better place to [...]
Commentary by Tom Koziol | October 24, 2008It would be a severe understatement for me to say everyone has an opinion on this mega foreclosure problem happening today. However, it wouldn’t be an understatement to say Sheriff Thomas Dart of Illinois actually expressed his opinion. If you haven’t heard of him, use your friendly search engine and you’ll see many interesting articles. [...]
Real Estate by Anwell Tsai | October 23, 2008When sufficient data is available, paired data analysis can be utilized as one of the most persuasive tools in a Comparative Market Analysis. Paired data analysis can be broken down into two categories: Primary pairings (pairs of sales that are identical except for one component) and secondary pairings. Primary pairings should be used first and [...]
