My February eNewsletter
No matter what you hear from opinion to opinion, newscast to newscast, here is a pretty obvious bottom line: when the real estate market shifts, it creates opportunities. There is money to be made in every real estate market. What are the opportunities for you or someone you may know in today's market?
(1) First-Time Home Buyers - The stimulus package just passed enhanced the incentive for first-time homebuyers if you purchase before December 1, 2009. There are two big benefits: an $8,000 tax credit (or 10% of your home purchase, whichever is less) and the reduction in interest rates. There are all sorts of nuances to the finalized version. I, your handy dandy Realtor®, have gone to great lengths to make sure I have the facts. Please do not hesitate to contact me with questions.
(2) Move Up to a Larger Home - The reduction in profit that you realize on the sale of your home can be made up on the other end as illustrated below.
(3) Investors - The cap on investor owned properties has been increased from 4 to 10 properties - again, lots of little nuances (aka strict guidelines) - call me with any specific questions and if I don't already have the answers, I'll get them.
(4) People in Trouble with Their Home - I am very familiar with the purchase and sale of foreclosures and short sales. If you, or someone you know, is having trouble making ends meet and are in the position of a possible foreclosure, there are options. Please contact me for a confidential consultation.
As your community economic and real estate expert, I look forward to helping you or someone you care about explore these opportunities. Please call me at 404-317-2352 or pass along my name to a friend. You can reach me through my website at www.HomesByMia.com
