Bonita Springs, Fl Foreclosure

A couple of weeks ago I posted a "deal" that I found on a Bonita Springs Foreclosure.
Well, countless hours and showings later I had a few clients that were interested in making an offer via the online bidding system that the bank and listing agent utilized. There were several bids on the property topping the $130K range.
It appears that none of the offers were accepted and the home is back on the market for the original price of $214,900.00. Unfortunately for the bank, it is still in the Fort Myers MLS and not the Bonita Springs MLS where the house is actually located.
After viewing the home with several different clients I still think it will make a good deal for someone if they can get if for the right price. It will need a minimum of $20K to…

Do you Want to ‘Move-Up’? The Clock Is Running!
While you’ve probably heard a lot in the media about the government’s efforts to rejuvenate the housing market with the first-time home buyer tax credit, you might have missed the fact that the most recent expansion of the legislation also includes a $6,500 credit for current homeowners who want to purchase a new home…commonly referred to as “moving up.”
As a Member of the Top 5 in Real Estate Network®, I’ve worked with many homeowners who have wanted to move to a new home over the past year, but have stayed put due to a lack of confidence in the market. Now, however, thanks to the tax advantages of the Worker, Homeownership, and Business Assistance Act of 2009, these homeowners are moving off the sidelines and…

10 Time-Saving Tips to Take the Stress Out of Moving
When it comes to moving, a little preparation goes a long way. As a member of the Top 5 in Real Estate Network®, my experience tells me that tons of time and energy can be saved by planning ahead, staying organized and focusing on details.
Here are 10 great, time-saving tips to make moving fast and efficient, courtesy of HGTV’s FrontDoor.com:
1. Make a moving schedule. Starting 60 days before the move, use a week-by-week checklist to keep the process on track. The tasks to accomplish further from moving day might seem trivial at first, but staying on schedule will prevent last-minute headaches.
2. Hire a quality moving company. Resist the temptation to hire a company that offers a too-good-to-be-true rate.…
Home Buyer Tax Credit - parent co -signer
Monday, December 14th, 2009 at 8:08am. 50 Views, 1 Comments.
The Home Buyer Tax Credit is pretty straight forward if you have never owned a home before. It can get a little more complicated however for everyone else.
The IRS has posted a series of facts and Q. & A.s to answer some of the scenerios.
What if you are a first time homebuyer, but you need a parent to join on the mortgage and the deed in order to qualify for the loan? Can you still get the credit? According to the IRS you can.
Taxpayer A is a single first-time home buyer. Taxpayer B (parent) cosigns for A and does not qualify. Both names are on the mortgage. Can Taxpayer A claim the credit and, if so, how much?
A. Yes. Taxpayer B is not a first-time homebuyer and cannot claim any portion of the credit, but A may claim the entire credit ($7,500…

Short Sales F.A.Q.
Thursday, July 30th, 2009 at 1:28pm. 88 Views, 0 Comments.
What is a short sale?
A short sale describes a situation where the lender agrees to take less money than they are owed on a property at time of sale. There may be more than one lender with a lien on the property.
Who is the seller in a short sale?
The individual owner is still in title, they have not been foreclosed on. In some cases foreclosure is imminent. In other cases the seller may not be behind. In all cases the seller owes more to the bank than they are trying to sell it for.
How come some short sales are so much less than other homes on the market?
If a seller is in a "short sale" listing, there is no equity in the home and they are not going to make any money. Many short sales listings continue to lower their price in order to attract an offer. There…
