The POSITIVE ATTITUDE for the Weary Soul group gives you the opportunity to share the miracles in your life during this fall season with a creative writing challenge . Join in on the challenge with the  FALL SEASON OF MIRACLES CONTEST | Positive Attitude for the Weary Soul Group I've been a member of the  POSITIVE ATTITUDE for the Weary Soul  for quite some time and love participating and reading posts.   This contest, however, made me think about what has affected me and my life - my family.

"Short Sale With A Bad Tenant?"  I have many clients over the years that call me wanting to short sell their investment properties.  They are generally very clear in their actions and they are not emotional attached to their properties. In this particular case, the investment property had one problem. . a bad tenant. It seems that the tenant was not communicating with the landlord in a proper way. . and this short sale came to me as as last ditch effort to end a problem that was daunting for my client. Dealing with short sale investments could be a slippery slope for most short sale real estate agents because of the legal minefield that exists if a tenant is not dealt in a proper and legal way. I made contact with them and basically negotiated for them to stay in the property for 45 mo...

Buying Homes in Montgomery County Maryland WHATYOU SHOULD YOU ASK YOURSELF BEFORE YOU RENT OR BUY YOUR NEXT HOME ? As you probably know, we are in the middle of lots of Foreclosures flooding our local  market. When we interview possible renters, we ask them to tell us the real reason why they want to rent. In most cases, our clients do not realize how easy it is to buy a home right now.. but most importantly, in some case. .even cheaper! Building Value Over Time while buying. . as opposed to . . Paying rent year after year with nothing to show for. While the money you pay to rent every single month will never benefit you again, the mortgage payments you make on a home will build you equity and add to your financial net worth. Don't let misinformation steer you to the wrong side. .  I b...
