Take A Walk Today!





I find that I collect all of my best thoughts when I go outside and walk around the neighborhood, or stroll downtown, taking in the architecture, and breathing in the fresh air. You should embrace this wonderful power we all possess, and guess what? "It's free!" So, get out and talk a nice relaxing walk, have a little private R&R. Who know's! You might stumble upon that beautiful home you've always dreamt of owning.
Dreams do come true, by the way.

Six Tips for Better Investing In A Downturn






Why is it a great time to buy residential property for your personal investment portfolio? Lots of inventory, low mortgage rates, and motivated sellers. In addtition circumstances that make it harder for some buyers to own increases pool of renters. "There's a better opportunity now in a lot of ways. During the top of the market, you couldn't get the investment numbers to make sense and provide cash flow in many higher-priced market's," says Nelson Zide, CRB, CRS, with ERA Key Realty Service in Farmingham, Mass., who's been a reale state investor since 1981.






And while purchase prices for homes have fallen in many areas, rents haven't followed suit. This means enough cash flow in your pocket to cover debt, says Terry Reitz, whith Keller Williams Legacy in San Antonio. (By Mariwyn Evans)






Here Are Your Six Tips...






1. Think Cash on Cash: Determine your return based on the equity you have in teh deal, not the total price of the property.






2. Make Your Money On The Buy: Don't make the mistake of believing that the asking price represents the final price or value or expect short-term appreciation to bail you out. Do your analysis and negotiate notes Still.






3. Get Preapproved for A Loan: Get a mortgage preapproval before you begin looking at properties. Otherwise, you miss a buying opportunity in this dynamic market.






4. Protect Your Assests From Lawsuit: Always hold each investment property in a limited liability company or other legal entity to protect the rest of your assests in case you're sued.






5. Don't Buy More Than You Can Manage: With more than 10 or so properties, you'll probably need a professional manager or you'll take too much time away from your selling career.






6. Don't Overlook Deductions: Even if a property is generating income, tax deductions for depreciation and expenses such as milage related to managing your investment can reduce your taxable obligation.

Downtown Birmingham Loft Trend




It's astounding how so many suburbanites have migrated to the loft district in Historic Downtown Birmingham! Currently there are more than 700 people living in the newly renovated vertical dwellings. This is a huge jump since the 1980's when there were only eight lofts and condo buildings where only a handful of Birmingham's residents lived.

The bulk of Birmingham's lofts aren't skimping on the details either, these grand abodes feature some of the most ornate architectural details outside, as well as some interesting high-end detailing inside. Conveinence is precious gold, and with the proposed planning of the city transit, ease of access to just about anywhere is well under-way; not to mention the conceierge services some of these lofts provide. For instance, Liv On Fifth Lofts provide their loft-owners with conveinant storage just outside their door on the lofts floor.
