REO Properties and Legal Requirements   I've written a few recent posts about keeping REO / vacant properties safe. Two of the latest are Squatters in the House! Police were called and Be Careful of the Squatters.   I live in San Francisco, which is only 47 square miles (according to Wikipedia) , roughly 7 miles by 7 miles. So my work as a REALTOR often takes me outside City boundaries. And we have to keep up with all neighboring city requirements if we want to work there. I'm talking about Best Practices in Real Estate.   I have another REO listing coming up soon in South San Francisco. It is a great opportunity for an Investor or someone who wants to live in a home and have great income. There is a 3 Bedroom home on one street and a 3-unit building in back on another street. More on t...

I decided to focus on the first city that I need to service as my "niche market" for Gen Y First Time Homebuyers in South San Francisco.  I need to know this market and the first thing that came to my mind is the Census Data. How can I promote the homes for sale in South San Francisco without knowing the current demographics of the community?  So to start with here's the Census Report for South San Francisco. City of South San Francisco San Mateo County Decennial Census data       1910-1940  |   1950-1960  |   1970-1990  |   2000-2010               Census 2000   Census 2010 TOTAL POPULATION 60,552 100.0%   63,632 100.0% In households 60,109 99.3%   63,053 99.1% In group quarters 443 0.7%   579 0.9%             RACE           White 26,671 44.0%   23,760 37.3% Black or African American 1,...

If you think you can't get a commercial loan in today's market, think again! Today, we closed escrow on a self-storage facility in South San Francisco. I am going to describe the terms of this commercial loan for you so that you can get an idea of the appetite for these type of loans, and what was required by the lender to get it approved and funded. This commercial loan was for $3,500,000. My client refinanced his building in order to consolidate the three outstanding loans on the property, and to get cash-out. He used the funds obtained to pay down outstanding consumer debt. In today's lending environment, obtaining cash-out with a commercial loan is not easy.  Here are the terms of this commercial loan: 6.25% fixed for five years 25 year amortization 10 year term 1 point origination ...

Many sellers are determined to set their listing price higher than they are willing to accept so they have room to negotiate.  With the New Millennium buyers they unfortunately will not get any offers.  Today's buyers are more educated than any others.  The internet gives the buyers the opportunity to research all public records.  They know the price of all the homes in the area that sold recently and are on the market.  They know the trends, the cost per square foot; they know what the seller paid for the home and how much they owe and sometimes the improvements the owner has completed.  If a home is over-priced the "New" buyer is almost offended that someone would expect them to purchase it at the "Over Valued List Price" so they don't even make an offer.  Many don't even waste their ...

Treat Your Business Like a Business   A common mistake that new Realtors and even Realtors who have been in the business for a long time is they don't treat their business like a business. Real Estate allows you freedom and a wonderful lifestyle, but you better take the business part seriously. This business will be great to you and spoil you rotten if you respect and treat it accordingly. New agents, if you are struggling and wondering why you arent' getting that listing and cant get that offer accepted, don't get discouraged but question what you can change to succeeed. Einstein once said: "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different outcomes." If you are doing something and nothing is coming of it. Stop!

President Obama Freezes Salaries for Washington Aides Making over $100,000   Thats refreshing! Almost as a sign of good faith, Presiden Obama has called for a freeze on Washington aides who are making over $100,000 a year. Hw staes, "while the rest of america istightening their belts, so should Washington." Pretty nice step for the first day on the job. Hope he keeps it up.

Investing in a Real Estate Website WHether you are an experienced agent ot a newly licensed agent, the time will come to promote yourself on the web, via website, blog, etc. WHen you do so there is one question you need to ask yourself. What is my goal? ALot of agents build a fancy website with snazzy flash photos, search portals to the MLS and tips for buyers and sellers. If your goal is to give out free information and not receive anything in return then thats is the site for you. If you are trying to convert views to leas then you have to drastically re-think you plan. One thing to consider is Search Engine Optimization and bringing value to each and every visitor to your site. Stay Tuned for tips on how to obtain this. -Rev Management Team http://www.revrealtors.com
