By: Terry Sheridan www.OnePlaceOpenHouse.com Know the basics of FHA loan rules and you stand a better chance of selling your house or condo. Most buyers will expect a home inspection, including a form outlining what the inspection revealed. Make your house FHA-friendly, and it will appeal to more homebuyers. Why? Because the Federal Housing Administration is insuring the mortgage loans used by about 30% of today's homebuyers. If your house passes the FHA rules, it will appeal to buyers who plan to use an FHA-insured mortgage. If your house doesn't qualify for an FHA loan, you're cutting out 30% of potential buyers. FHA is especially important to first-time homebuyers and those with small downpayments because it allows borrowers with good credit to make a downpayment as low as 3.5% of th...

www.OnePlaceOpenHouse.comBy: G. M. Filisko Ask detailed questions about their experience and skills to help you find the right agent for your home sale. Working with the right real estate agent can mean the difference between getting prompt, expert representation and feeling like you're going it alone when selling your home.

www.OnePlaceOpenHouse.com                      As a Miami Realtor my profession allows me the opportunity to meet and work with some truly accomplished individuals.  It has always been a rule of thumb for me in the real estate business never to tout celebrated clientele or interactions with these individuals...no matter how many times they tell me it's okay.  Everyone deserves some form of discretion.  However there are genuine times such as this when me and my friends come together to make a difference with the youth who wouldn't otherwise have the opportunity.  Bigger then real estate these are the moments I live for.Kids can already hear the swoosh of the baskets from their favorite current and former NBA players who will be participating in the All Star Basketball Camp at the Michae...

  1031 Exchanges are excellent tools to reduce income taxes. Known both as "tax free exchanges" and "1031 exchanges" (based upon the enabling section of the federal income tax code) this tool allows investors to sell real estate without paying income taxes (at the time of sale). Real estate owners or investors expecting to acquire property subsequent to the sale of existing property can indefinitely defer income taxes by utilizing a 1031 exchange. 1031 exchanges have been available for over 20 year. Their popularity seems to have increased sharply over the last 7-10 years as their benefits have become known. In a typical property sale, an owner has to pay taxes on any gain. In some cases, a 1031 exchange does not make sense or is not practical. If an investor is trying to reduce his rea...
