| Article Title :: Property Red Flags For Homebuyers |
| |
| Many home buyers judge a book by its cover, a sometimes costly mistake. It's easy to be infatuated with a cutting-edge kitchen or drop-dead views in home that you want to buy. Don't skip having a property inspection on your dream home. Most home inspectors are licensed or certified today, but they can only report what they see. Sometimes materials defects or red flags are hidden behind walls, soil surrounding foundations or buried in sewer lines. Know what the red flags are and what they mean in additional costs or if they are not easily corrected.

| |
| Email signatures are probably one of the most under used marketing tools in real
estate.Many real estate pros, if they have an email signature at all, are missing out on the
huge value of that tiny bit of text that piggybacks on every email they send.Your email signature is a very effective and low cost way to build your mailing list
and bring traffic to your website...IF you are smart about how you use it.Take this signature that I received a few months ago. (All of the details have been
changed to protect the innocent, but the gist is still the same.)---------------------------------John Doe, GRI

| Article Title :: What's New With Tempe Loft Projects |
| |
| Look for a ton of new hip, cool, edgy and architecturally interesting loft projects to come to Tempe over the next year or more. Two worth mentioning include:Dorsey Place Condominiums at University and Dorsey is a ninety unit condo project. Although we haven’t seen design renderings yet and we don’t know if it will be architecturally interesting or not I’m including it here for two reasons: 1) it will be relatively close to a Tempe light rail station and just two miles from Downtown Tempe on Mill Avenue, the new Tempe Arts Center, Tempe Town Lake, Tempe Beach Park, and the future Tempe Mall and 2) I believe that they will be priced affordably for university students and fir (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Investment Property Advice - Has the Market Peaked and Should I Sell Now or Wait? |
| |
| Should I sell my investment property and cash out today - Has the Mississauga or Toronto market peaked? I get asked this question often. There is no simple answer.I know how you feel that it's tempting to cash out, prices are so high. This is a difficult question to answer precisely as really, nobody can predict what will happen in the future. Many are now thinking that the market may have peaked in the GTA, but only time will tell.There have been a few articles written in the press lately about the over-abundance of condos currently on the market and more coming on stream in the next 2 to 3 years. This could potentially create a supply problem and prices could soften in (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Why Foreclosures? |
| |
| Some might ask, why invest in foreclosures? You have to have money, a good job, and good credit, right? It is so saturated out there with investors, there is no way I will find a foreclosure, right? First let’s get rid of all these fallacies, and focus on why you will love investing in foreclosures.The beauty of foreclosures and real estate in general, is that you do not
have to have money, a good job, or even good credit to start investing. Don’t get
me wrong, it is easier to structure deals if you have money, however, real estate is a
very creative business. So creative in fact that you can structure your deals “nothing
down” or no money out of y (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Portable Structures |
| |
| What do the Pentagon, an egg and the Brits have in common? It turns out quite a lot more than scrambled eggs for breakfast, in fact.Two British engineers have developed Concrete Canvas, a rapidly deployable hardened shelter that requires only water and air for construction. Stuffing a building into a bag is no easy task, nor is erecting a concrete structure in less than an hour. But Peter Brewin and William Crawford have figured out the way, by observing the compressive ceramic structure of an egg. Concrete Canvas is a sack of cement-impregnated fabric that morphs into an emergency shelter with the addition of two simple ingredients: air and water.The hut can be deplo (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Cook County's Class 9 Can Mean Lower Property Taxes, But Is It Right For You? |
| |
| Apartment buildings with more than six units in Cook County are generally designated as Class 3 properties, and they’re assessed at 26% of market value (as estimated by the Cook County Assessor).But Class 9 properties are assessed at a lower 16% assessment level for a period of ten years. And that's means significantly lower property taxes for owners of buildings designated Class 9.For example, an seven-unit worth $300,000 (by the Assessor's measure) would normally have an annual tax bill of somewhere in the neighborhood of $12,500. Under Class 9, a building with similar value would owe around $7,700 in property taxes—an annual savings of 38%.Sounds like a no-brai (read full article) |
