Yes, I know It's been a while since my last post. Writing these things takes time and more importantly discipline. I cant' promise anything other than to do my best to stay current and to hit the target.Speaking of which, hitting the target in Real Estate today is getting harder and harder. REO's and other great deals are moving so quickly, that it's been hard to strike the bulls eye and get houses under contract. Frankly speaking, my buyers can't get their offers in fast enough. There are some other snags along the way, like houses not appraising, and the fact that sellers don't have enough money to come to closing to cover the difference. The main point, however, is that the market is moving quickly. Cast you rod in the right spot, and be ready to strike while the iron is hot!
Quick pointer, if you see a house you like in the beginning of the week, try and get a contract finalized before the weekend. Most people see homes on Saturday and Sunday. Be first in line by taking some time to look at properties early in the day and early in the week. Believe it or not, there is competition for properties these days, especially REO's. So put your cat like reflexes to work and get ready to pounce. It may take a few times, but nobody ever said that hitting a moving target was easy. Either is selling real estate.
Thanks for reading!
