Is your loan modification with your lender not working? Another Short Sale Success Story From listing to finish this short sale only took 105 days! Most of the waiting was on a buyer and not the lender this time. The home went on the market in May . Didn't contract until August and closed September third!   In the short sale process the sellers have to turn in to the lender: 2 year tax returns 2 60 day bank statements A letter of distress/hardship A financial statement of your bills A statement of any liens or judgments Once this is done (it is not that hard to gather these items!) the seller can submit an offer from a buyer for less that what they owe on the home.

  The secret to good Property Management ! Have you ever wondered what the secret to good property management is? We have been managing properties since 2005 and in my opinion, the secret to good property management is slow growth. We have built this business slow and steady, learning from our mistakes along the way! There are many reasons to hire a property manager: Tenant procurement, tenant background screening, collection of rents and reporting...etc But have you ever thought about how the company came together? There are so many questions you should ponder before hiring a property manager:  Do they have only 5 properties or at least 50 properties? Have they been doing this a while building a process, or did they just jump in? Do they have systems in place to protect my investment? ... 08/15/2014

My clients looked at many pre-owned homes and just were not finding anything they liked. The homes needed upgrades and they were not thrilled with the floorplans. So I said "Brand new construction may be the best route for you!" I took them to  Kensington Park, a brand new subdivision in Mcclendon Chisholm located minutes from I-30 off 205! My clients loved the quality of the Altura Home, the new area, so much shopping and things to do in Rockwall and Lake Ray Hubbard! And the floor plan was amazing, over 400 square feet in ONE STORY!  They also got to pick a lot next to the pond! Mostly, they liked that the home was in Rockwall Schools, knowing this will give their children great learning opportunities. They also have a design center they get to go to to pick all of their colors and up... 08/06/2014

Special Government Home Renovation Loan Program using Rockwall Texas FHA 203k Rehab Loans.     Many are not aware of a special government loan program that is actually a part of FHA (Federal Housing Administration- a department within HUD).

Repaint, remodel cabinetry in kitchens and bathrooms, add wallpaper, replace appliances and flooring and even a add a room to an existing structure (which will increase the value of the homes square footage).         This loan progr... 06/13/2014
