Hi JaCarree!

Welcome.  I work in both counties with a team of agents.  We do a lot of investor deals as well as retail.  Feel free to give me a call and we can discuss.  Its always gratifying helping someone out. 

Hi all, 

My daughter bought her first rental at age 20. She lives in Broome county New York. Johnson City Binghamton area. Is there a local landlord group she can hook up with?

Thanks

Hi Dave,

The banks generally do what you just said and go about 5k lower.  Generally the units are sold in a matter of days.  Our RE team works with a lot of elder care attorneys.  Most often, the families just want the place sold as quickly as possible. This gives us the opportunity to sell them as a pocket listing, oftentimes before we ever list them on the multiple listing service.  Problem is we never know whats coming up.  Could be a 100k condo or could be a 600k single family.    Give me a call Monday afternoon if you'd like to discuss. 

Matt,

I've been in Sarasota for about 6 years now.  Licensed RE agent.  We currently have 3.6 months of inventory(very low) and median prices over 200k.  This is a very tough market to break into.  If I had a dollar for every investor that wanted a fixer-upper around 150k I'd be rich.  A lot of folks are moving up in price to 300K and renting them out for $1 per sq ft.  I'd also suggest bringing cash. 

Esaul,

Give me a call when you get here.  We can get some lunch and discuss Sarasota.

Brittany,

A good real estate agent can help you get that info.

Tami,

I've been in Sarasota now for about 5 years.  2 beds/1 bath under 1000 sqft can get 1200-1400 a month.  Rents are very high in our area.  Let me know if I can help further.

Jeff Joachim,

Sarasota/Bradenton market is very hot. 3.5-4 months inventory. Very tough to find a deal on the MLS. I'm fortunate enough to have several wholesaler contacts, but unless I'm buying for myself personally, its a lot of work for a small reward. I'm sure Orlando is the same way.

Carlos,

I'm an active agent in Sarasota with KW.  We do a lot of deals and know the investment market well.  I also spend a lot of with investors.   Your price point is a very difficult item to get.  Most wholesalers have "pocket clients" that are getting most of them. Are you local?  How quick can you see the property?  Let me know a little more and I'll start keeping my radar up for you.

Welcome Matt,

I've been in Sarasota now for about 5 years.  Great city.  We have a couple of properties here and in the Clearwater beach area.  It would be great sharing our knowledge. Message me or give me a call.
