Short Sales Mortgage Tax Relief to Expire  Dec 31st 2012  Take action Our National Association of Realtor President Maurice Veissi is urging all the Realtor to take aciton to extend the Mortgage Tax Relief Act which is about to expire on Dec 31st 2012. Here is some information I received via an email: "Despite some positive signs of recovery, our nation’s real estate market is still fragile.  Over a quarter of all transactions still involve distressed properties. That is why you must take action now and tell Congress to extend Mortgage Forgiveness Tax Relief.  Without an extension, families engaged in loan modifications, short sales, or foreclosures will face a big tax bill. Neither consumers nor the housing market need that added burden. Homeowners shouldn’t be forced to pay a tax on m... 11/05/2012

Property Management for Realtors   I was speaking with a fellow agent today and he mentioned that he was managing a few properties for his past clients. It can be a rewarding path to take as a supplement to our income but it takes the right personality for this type of job. Dealing with tenants on a regular basis can be challenging, especially if evictions are involved. The nice benefit is that you get a small stream of income coming in monthly which will lessen the financial impact in a realtor's household.   Wondering if anyone out there is also juggling with property management as well as the daily realtor tasks. What are the best ways to get started in it? Contacting past clients who may need assistance with property management is a good step. What are some other ways to help genera... 08/24/2012
