  • Get your Equity working!

    Equity is important. It’s the reason to invest in real estate in the first place. Have you ever dreamed of owning real estate, growing your equity with each year. Well now is a great time to think of the rewards of selling and getting that equity to work for you. Whether it’s home improvement time or perhaps a young adult off to an expensive college, time to downsize or whatever the reason.

    The Portland area market is constantly changing, but now we are beginning to see the start of a trend in price declines in the real estate re-sale market. As this trend picks up, it will possibly diminish the equity you have in your home. Waiting to sell a home in Portland, OR, for example, can result in a loss of equity and a loss of net value. Can you afford to take another financial hit after recovering from the last market crash? Are you ready to sell now instead and save yourself time and headaches down the road?

    There are many reasons that make great financial sense when deciding when to sell a home and liquidate your equity. Whether you want to relocate to better schools or progressive job markets, are ready to downsize, or want to have a more secure retirement, following the rule of investing—maximizing your equity—and cashing out at the right time will be one of the most important decisions you will ever make in your lifetime.

    One good way to beat the market trends is to consider a fast house sale. You can sell your home fast, cut through a lot of red tape, avoid broker and agent fees and make even more money on the sales of your property.

  • Selling vacant homes

    So you’ve got an extra house. It’s vacant, taking up your time and energy, but for what? Will you be renting it out or perhaps putting it on the market? Whatever your decision will be, you’ll most definitely be spending some big money in preparations.

    Renters require a certain amount of time, energy and patience and having the house up to a “rental satisfaction” will mean making sure everything is in working order. Selling a house will take even more attention as now you are not only considering the renters, you have to consider your realtor and what they would want you to do to get it into sale shape, the inspection company, who will tell you everything tiny thing that needs fixing and the new buyer who might insist on a new roof or new carpets before they make an offer. There are plenty of things to consider.

    Your vacant house can also be subject to vandalism, pest infestation, dry rot, overgrown vegetation etc. Without proper maintenance, even a nice home can become subject to a multitude of problems. Owning a vacant house can be a headache on so many levels.

    So now you’ve decided that the vacant home needs to go, but you don’t want to spend a ton of money out of your pocket. So why not consider a cash sale. We buy houses, vacant homes, lots and land with no money out of your pocket. We even take care of the garbage.

  • Costly Home Improvement…the real story

    When you decide to sell your home, one of the first thoughts that comes to mind is how to fix it up in order to maximize its dollar value. Of course, such an endeavor can encompass a variety of home improvements, from planting new shrubbery to installing new hardwood floors. Whatever the project, expenses can add up — quickly. The general rule of thumb is to only invest in home improvements that will add at least twice their cost to your home’s value. But the reality is, you often don’t get much bang for your buck: the average return on your remodeling investment is usually 20 or 30 percent less than you spend. And that’s to say nothing of the missteps homeowners make in their efforts to ready a home for sale. To wit, here are some common pitfalls homeowners find themselves in when attempting to improve their home for resale:

    -Trying to “add more space,” such as converting a garage into a living room. This can make a space seem incongruous with the rest of the house, and the chances of recouping the cost are minimal.

    -Destroying period details (often unknowingly) that may have real value. Pulling up ‘70s-era carpeting is one thing, but removing a circa-1900 bannister because it is showing wear also removes what many would deem a treasure.

    -The kitchen remodel. As many experts will attest, the kitchen is the single biggest selling point in a home. With that in mind, sellers often go all-in on a kitchen remodel, which can easily run as high as $50,000 or more. Yet, a fully remodeled kitchen usually earns 80 percent of its money back, making it one of the worst investments for home sellers.

    The above doesn’t even take into account the headaches inherent with any major (or minor, for that matter) home improvement project. The inconvenience, delays, threat of budget overruns, and questions of workmanship can all turn the most well-intentioned of projects into much more than you bargained for. When you take a look at the factors involved, it may cause you to think twice before diving into the process of costly repairs and consider selling your home as-is in a fast cash sale.
