Some potential homebuyers are sellers themselves. In a market where it often takes longer to sell a home and where it is harder to get the asking price, these buyers have a dilemma. Typically, homeowners that sell one home to buy another want to secure their replacement home first. The market makes it hard. Few people want to be straddled with two mortgages. Unfortunately new mortgage lender requirements make it even more difficult. In the past homeowners could purchase a new home before selling the old one by claiming rental income for the home that was being sold if it didn't sell. Now, most mortgage lenders will not consider rental income for unsold properties. The homebuyer can offer to purchase a new home contingent on the sale of their old one by having a clause to this effect put... 03/05/2009

The weekend of September 12 - 14 was one Glenview residents won’t soon forget. Approximately 9.50 inches of rain fell in the Village -- the most rain falling in a single period in Chicago area since 1871. The storm and rain caused flash flooding, minor electrical outages (all 400 outages were restored quickly), and downed trees in several areas of town. Particularly vulnerable were residences in flood-prone areas and documented floodplains. The Village’s storm water drainage systems reached capacity; most storm water detention basins exceeded capacity; the Techny Basin filled to capacity and experienced minor overflow, which affected neighborhoods adjacent to the West Fork of the Chicago Rivers’ North Branch. As a result, several areas near the this part of the river (between Willow and... 10/09/2008

    Investing in Glenview Real EstateBy : Michael R. Linton   Submitted 2007-06-05 14:32:39 Investing in Glenview Real Estate Glenview, Illinois - I am writing this article to introduce a unique and exciting investment strategy that I am bringing to the Glenview area and I am offering this strategy to a limited number of people. Bringing years of real estate and mortgage experience to the table, I have developed an investment plan that allows investors to start with nothing but their primary home to owning 16 or more properties in a 6 to 10 year period. This plan even shows you how to get the money needed to purchase your first property in Glenview. I want to teach you a safe way to invest in Glenview properties with proper mortgage planning, asset protection strategies and tax planning... 06/06/2007

I was having a very good conversation with my brother last night about a strategy that I sometimes recommend to people looking for new and unique ways to invest.   I only bring this up, because my brother and I have different views in how people should and shouldn't use their home as an investment vehicle.  I like these conversations, because we both point out the strengths and weaknesses of our own individual strategies.  This also helps give me perspective on the importance of understanding the strategy behind every customer I work with.  However, it got me thinking about the American Dream of owning a home.Is the American Dream really owning a home, how we finance a home, or a little of both?  I can't tell you how many people I know that are financing their house up to 100% of the va... 04/23/2007

There's an investment strategy that many people are touting as the new best thing in planning for retirement.  It's not new by any means and, in fact, most millionaires out there would tell you that they used this same strategy to further increase their bottom line.  Every well run company also uses the same strategy to appropriately diversify their own balance sheet.  It's called Leverage, which has been around since people started borrowing money from other people.  In fact, if you own a home today you are actually using the Leverage strategy to increase your own net worth. Put simply, the strategy involves using the equity in your home to invest more money in the market or some other investment.  This works for people that believe they can earn more of a return than the current preva... 04/09/2007
