4 Critical Tips When Purchasing Foreclosures in Allentown PA   Buying a foreclosed property in Allentown and the surrounding area can be different than buying other types of real estate. In many cases you will be able to get a fantastic deal on a home, but you will need to go through quite a bit of work and negotiation. Here are four tips to help you navigate the foreclosure buying process: #1 - Find the right real estate agent The first thing to keep in mind is that your real estate broker will deal directly with the bank that owns the foreclosed property. The bank has the final say in whether they’ll accept your bid – so you want an agent who has developed a good relationship with them. #2 - Know that cheap doesn’t mean good value Sometimes the tiny price tag on a foreclosed property ...

Good Evening, I was originally going to title this post "Silent Saturday" and let the picture do the talking.  But me being the verbose and anti-parsimonious bastard that I am, that obviously can't happen.  Instead, I came away from tonight's inspiration for words with a deeper understanding of our current economic woes. It is not unsavory practices in spending that have gotten our collective bank accounts in a bunch.  It isn't even the daily dose of which Political Party is in Power.  Nope, there's a simpler version to the truth of it all.  Remember Fred Savage in "The Wonder Years"?  I do.  I also recall the episode where Ben Stein played his teacher and said something to the affect of, "Every question contains its own answer." And the following picture contains it:   Before going int...

We are living in such an amazing time in history! It is incredible that within minutes I can gather all of the information I need to write this blog post! The amount of data that is shared and received on a daily basis is mind boggling. I hear many complaints and the horror stories of what technology has done to us humans and on the flip side I have heard miraculous, emotional stories that bring incredible hope. So I believe the key to technology is how we use it! The beautiful thing about real estate is that technology can’t really touch it! There will always be humans, brick and mortar in real estate! Yes technology assists in the sale and research of home sales but at the end of the day the selling and buying of real estate will involve human interaction! I want to point out 2 things...

  Foreclosure Investing in Allentown PA- Steps To Success Equally with every other financial investment, due diligence on the part of every savvy buyer can predict a favorable outcome in the form of outstanding profit based on current marketplace trends. Careful timing, knowledgeable decisions and sound financial assets can run concurrently to secure the highest probable profit margin in investing in foreclosures. Choosing what time to obtain is probably the primary and for the most part crucial step in the foreclosure investing process. An assessment of the diverse points on which a property can be acquired readily identifies a preforeclosure obtain to be largely advantageous for the investor. It is by this moment that an investor can concurrently be of service to both a struggling hom...

To the top... ... and I promise not to "like" this post. ~  In an effort to create an outlet for any brain activity, I chose a craft I would never pursue for monetary reward.  It's one thing to be able to articulate a train a thought and quite another to tell the story in 180 pages or less. ~ -Gunther Moses-  The story is simple, as most are.  A twenty-four year old boy enters an industry that makes him a man.  That industry experiences a "redefining period" that hadn't been known since the late seventies, when Carter was in office.  If you want to get political, that's not part of the story just yet ... I'll never regret how I was trained (or not) nor the personal demons that made eight years of my life more difficult than they should have been.  Then I ran across some folks who make t...

Last Sunday the Morning Call & Philadelphia Inquirer had the article below which essentially stated that buyers were hammering the sellers with the home inspection and that it would be EXTREMELY WISE for the Seller to get his/her own home inspection prior to putting the home on the market to prevent surprises.  All home inspectors agree with that but I would take it a little further in that before having the inspection done that the Seller do the following: ELECTRICAL - Replace broken &/or missing electrical outlet & switch covers, replace missing or burned out light bulbs, purchase ($6 - $9) & use a GFCI tester to make sure the GFCI's work, clear the area in front of the electrical panels, HEATING - Make sure baseboards &/or radiators heat up, Make sure there is a recent service report...

Today, I received a call from a potential client telling me his bank told him that he had to pay for a Code inspection for the home he was purchasing in Allentown.  I explained to him that he needed to call Allentown's Building Standards and Safety Department due to the fact that a Home inspection is not a code inspection.  I told him that most Home Inspectors are not licensed/certified code inspectors.  I told him that CODE was a four letter to a Home inspector and that home inspectors were aware of code but did not inspect to code.  I also said as Home inspectors we were looking for issues with items and systems that were health issues, safety issues, could cause failure of an item or system or indications that an item or system was close to failure. Finally, I went on to explain to h...
