There has been a lot of talk about where you can get a better Real Estate Deal.  I think a more important question is where in the heck to you get a good Real Estate Agent?

My dad always used to say that in life you need three things:

• GOD
• A Good Doctor
• A Good Attorney

I would add a good Realtor as well.  Not that we are as educated or qualified as any one of those three.  But I would say that being able to use another’s money(the banks) to purchase an item that will gain value, more so than typical earning ability, that is something that we want to keep an eye on and have someone that is sharp representing us.  Sharp, not like a spoon, but like a Samurai sword that has a blade that has been folded over 300 times, sharp.

When you are purchasing Real Estate, you might be doing it for the Tax break that is important no doubt.  But in the long run what is going to happen?  You will be making money.

Just ask you parents what they paid for their home.  Mine paid $7,000.00.  Today it is only work $75,000, but that is in a small town in the Mid West.  I have heard of some of the homes in Southern California selling for the low teens.  Today the owners have to bear the burden of that property being worth over 1 million dollars.  Even today in this depressed Real Estate market. 

Not such a bad return.  Even when the market was very hot recently - we saw housing prices increase thousands of dollars a month.

You now have a chance to buy near the bottom of the market.  Interest rates are low and the house prices are on the decline.  That will leave you in a fantastic position, one that will not return for several years.  So you might want to take advantage of that.

With all my best - CONNOR MacIVOR - The Realtor that keeps you at the center. 

Let me do the hunting.  Let me set you up with a search for properties that would make good investments.  Let me work the numbers and speak with you about properties that cash flow themselves.  We are members of 4 boards of Realtors - I am sure we can find something in one of those databases that does that very thing.  Make you money.  My Best….
