Lake Oswego Waterfront Homes   I think this part of Oswego Lake is so beautiful. The way the trees run down the slope all the way to waters edge is undoubtedly scenic. It reminds us of the Oregon Coast and how  countless evergreens run to the Pacific Ocean.   The homes along Oswego lakes shore are     not only beautiful but also extremely $valuable$.   Appreciation is proven to reach over 800% since homeowners  purchased property in the 1980's and are now listing property in the millions. Not a bad return! Other investment that seems to produce valuable profit are smaller homes in   FIRST ADDITION   and holding onto the property for a period of time. Investors are renovating the structure to standards generally sought after by buyers in the 2014 buyers market. Some of the homes in the ...

Sometimes the problems with buying property are hidden away.     I appreciate that there are times when buying property without contingencies. HOWEVER, having a thorough home buying inspection performed by reputable inspector is usually a good idea. When I personally looked into areas of this home that are not easily accessible I found some potential problems. We understand that these sorts of things happen to the best of properties so it's nothing to worry that much about. All we need to do is have an exterminator look things over and figure out what needs to be done. The insulation must be tacked back up to the studs after the mess is cleaned up. WE can fix this...don't worry. Traps can be set. For some buyers the image above is a deal breaker. They are overly concerned with the poten...

There are several important steps in successfully negotiating on real estate. Here are the important details.   Also, please check out my BLOG at:   Lake Oswego Real Estate   PAY IN CASH Sellers are more likely to accept an "easy" when cash money is involved. When banks are used to assist when purchasing property there are more things that can go wrong and ruin the deal. Sometimes financing is tricky on certain properties such as houseboats or real estate that may not appraise for what you're willing to pay for the property.    COME PREPARED Get together and organize all your paperwork and work together with your real estate agent. DON'T GO ROGUE! Have your mortgage preapproval ready to present with the purchase and sale agreement. The sellers worst fear is that the deal falls apart at ...
