Want your Phoenix Home Sold by Summer?


I think it's time to Sell!
 
I think it's time to Sell!   
 
The months of March, April, May and June is always a peak time for Phoenix the Valley of the Sun's Real estate sales, and this year even stronger. Interest is High and Inventory is Low. The demand and prices are high. Like many Phoenix home owners you may be thinking, it looks like now may be a good time to sell your Phoenix home and indeed it is.

Typical sale timeline:
A. Select a Realtor (1 week)
B. Shine up the property (2-4 weeks)
C. Valuation, contract, photography (1 week)
D. market time (3-6 weeks)
FOR Sale
E. Escrow (4-5 weeks)

So if you are a Phoenix home seller hoping to capitalize on this strong spring market, the bad news is that you’re out of luck. But if you start today, you can get the house in front of our very busy July crowds, enjoy one more summer in your Phoenix home, and have it completely sold before you put the turkey in the oven!

Monday Morning Cup of Coffee: Don't worry, Warren Buffett says there's no housing bubble

During the meeting, Buffett touched on the economy, investing, politics and life. And housing. Quite a bit about housing, actually. Here's your full recap, plus more on Buffett's burgeoning home-building empire. All that and more, in your Monday Morning Cup of Coffee.

Investing in Multi- Units - Cash Flow, Appreciation

Phoenix Multi Family Residential Investment HOT Sheet 

         Investing in Apartments - Cash Flow, Appreciation & More   VIEW  Phoenix Duplexes, Triplexes and Fourplexes For Sale

Why Apartment Investing?


Cash Flow, Cash Flow, Cash Flow, more cash flow with a multi unit or apartment then SFH . Owning more units increases the overall probability of success. 

Buying Real estate for investment, Not any real estate but real estate that will hold its value, apartment buildings. Apartment rents are still going up, the value of apartment buildings have the best chance of appreciating and are appreciating while everything else goes down. With the low interest rates you can have a positive cash flow. Mortgage rates are currently 4.5% to 6.5%.  Apartments have become a better investment for two main reasons. First, carrying costs (interest costs) have been going down. Second, income has been going up, substantially. For more information of multi - units  give me a jingle.
