If you have a vacation home that you had hoped to retire to some day but have since changed your mind, don’t jump to sell it…consider renting it out instead.For many, it seemed like a great idea to buy that vacation condo 20 years ago. The plan was to vacation there as often as possible, then some day sell your primary residence and retire there for your Golden Years. But lifestyle changes or

In my honest opinion and as a Member of the Top 5 in Real Estate Network®, I have seen many real estate markets come and go, and I know for a fact that the many outstanding opportunities that exist for home buyers today will not be around forever.While much press coverage has been given to the recent first-time and move-up buyer tax credit, there are many time-sensitive factors that make the

According to credit experts, 42% of U.S. consumers have credit scores between 550 and 699.

Believe it or not there are a few good bits of good news...depending on what you are buying. Talking recently with some collegues I came across some very interesting information I want to share with you.Did you know that in 2009, the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) insured nearly 30% of the single-family mortgage market and that more than 50% of all first-time home buyers used FHA programs?
