Remember that REO that’s about to be listed at the beginning of the year? The bank who owns it is going to try to sell it for $800K, but it appraises for $1.2 Million!
I have pics here!
I don’t have a buyer for it yet. If I weren’t wrapped up in this retail strip (I put [...]
I know I said I was going to submit offers for two houses 2 or 3 days ago. But, I had to see the interior of both, naturally, before I did so. I had an “I Love Lucy” moment while learning I had no clue how to open the new type of keybox sold by [...]
In response to Bigger Pockets’ request for 2007 real estate goal submissions, I decided to produce my list of yearly goals a little early this year. Normally, I don’t do this until Michael and I sit down and come up with a master list on December 31st. But, no matter! I had a little pow-wow [...]
Well, THANKS A LOT, Landlord Schmandlord for tagging me in the long list of bloggers writing five things about themselves. Try not to do me anymore favors. LOL!
Ok, here goes:

I was just informed on the 23rd that I have been signed up for a class tomorrow to learn how to add and edit entries in the MLS. This is yet another thing that makes my broker so great. Most Realtors never get to add or edit their own listings. They have to wait for [...]

I have a retail strip UNDER CONTRACT!!! And, we’re getting 80% OWNER FINANCING [...]

I went to my broker’s Christmas party tonight and sat at the same table with a dear friend (also a Realtor). He specializes in listing bank-owned properties. He asked me if I had the resources to buy a house he just found out about today–he’s not going to list it until the beginning of January. [...]
Things have changed in the real estate community since five or six years ago, when I worked as the assistant to the best-selling Realtor in Tulsa. Open Houses have become obsolete! I spoke with one of my new coworkers at a recent brokerage meeting who said she never gets a visitor anymore when she does [...]
I’ve added something new to the sidebar on the right side of my blog. I thought it would be fun to track the budget as we go on the House 8 rehab project. This morning, I told the roofing contractor’s electrician that he can go ahead and put in a new meter for $650. It [...]
