Image via Wikipedia Market stats for Buford, GA, November, 2010 indicate that there were 566 properties on the market. Overall, there was about an 10.2 month supply of properties.  December was slightly above last year (62 v 52 for 2009).  But it was also a pretty substantial bump from November (44 sales).  There were 83 sales in June and an Absorption Rate under 8.5 months. In the sub-$200k arena, there were 325 listings, with a 9.1 month supply.  Again, this is the largest price segment in this area, so being up by 10 sales over last year (41 v 31) strengthens the whole market area.  It is also a pretty nice increase over November (29 sales). Between $200k and $400k, there were 193 listings for sale, and about  11.1 months of supply.  While there was a slight increase in sales compar...

I was having coffee with a friend last week and the conversation turned to short sales. She and her husband had purchased a home a while back and chose not to pursue a nice home on Lake Lanier because it was a short sale. We all know that Lake Lanier Real Estate is a good investment as long as you have deep water access. This friend didn't use me as her agent (mostly because I didn't know her then or she would have been crazy not to since my company specializes in short sales and foreclosures, right!?! ) So I decided to list my top 4 reasons why you should consider a short sale.1. Many short sales continue to be maintained by the homeowner through the short sale process.2. Many of these homes have not been sitting unoccupied for months which could cause a multitude of problems not just...

Last week, I interviewed the "Guru of all Real Estate Gurus," Ron LeGrand. The webinar was an amazing success and we maxed out our available number of "seats". We had quite a few people ask if there was a way they could watch a replay because they missed it or because there may have been a detail or two that they missed. You're in luck. We recorded it! And you can see it here: Watch Atlanta REIA Webcast with Ron LeGrand Ron went over the 4 basic models of real estate, and will show you how to be profitable in all 4. Not only that, but he actually gives away something of great value ($497) at the very end of the webinar! So let's get ready to start your 2011 out right!! Go here now & watch this! You'll be glad you did. AND DON'T FORGET!!! Ron will be coming out to our January 3rd, 2011 A...

Have I ever told you how I got started in Real Estate Investing? This is a TRUE Story... I was nervous. I was confused. I didn't know if this was going to work for me, but i really wanted it too! It was my first deal and I was doing it with another investor who wanted to use my money. I thought I had everything set. If it DID work, I was going to get my money back and make a BIG chunk o' change. If not, I faced embarrassment and shame in front of my friends and family. I had read a few books. I had studied the concepts. I thought I did everything right. Wrong! Luck was not on my side. Although I did the deal, I ended up getting cheated by the other investor and I lost all of my money. Everything that could go wrong did go wrong! Ever hear of "Murphy's Law?" Yeah. It was like that but a ...
