A REIT is a corporation that combines capital from many investors to buy and operate income-producing real estate. It gives investors a low cost opportunity to include commercial real estate in an investment portfolio. Also, REITs avoid the "double taxation" treatment of income that would result from an investment in a corporation, because REITs do not pay taxes if certain standards are met, including the distribution of at least 90% of income that would otherwise be taxable. Hence, REITs are focused on generating and distributing income to their shareholders.

A few years ago, Texas became deregulated to help promote healthy competition between some electric companies in the hopes of bringing down the cost of electricity.  Within this deregulation, instead of 3 main companies in the area, there are now probably close to 100.  Even with the main ones in the area, you could only use the company that covered the area you lived.There is a great website that consumers need to know about where you can go and compare all the different rates that are charged and view what the terms and conditions are.  This website is http://powertochoose.com/.This site has helped many countless new buyers pick the best rate for them.  You can even choose between traditional electricity or a "green" company that works off windmills.  Granted, all the electricity come...

Garland, TX for many years, was known by people in Richardson and who grew up in Richardson, as the Armpit of Richardson.  Over the years, Garland has made a name for itself, and things are changing.  Prices of homes are going up.  Newer, NICER communities are being built, mostly around Firewheel Golf Course.  And a new outdoor Mall opened last years, anchored by Foley's, Dillard's, an AMC theatre, and many other big-name stores.With all this activity, you can see why Garland is becoming a more desireable place to call home.  As I did with Richardson and Plano, here are the stats year to date compared to 2006 for Garland.2006Original Asking Price: $128,606.68Reduced Asking Price: $124,018.58Sales Price: $121,548.08List Vs Sales: 94.51%2007Original Asking Price: $135,379.36Reduced Asking...

Here are some wonderful before and after pictures for a new listing in Garland, TX.   In the Dining area, there is a sitting window, however, you cannot even see it.  Many people love sitting windows because you can put a padded top on it and use it for reading or as part of your kitchen table.  So, I had the sellers remove 2 of the chairs to open up the space more, and now you can see the sitting area when you walk in.  They were also using the Dining area as a holding place for toys, and those were put up.  Place mats were also put up to give the table a very clean look.   The main transformation in the Kitchen was removing all the pictures and artwork from the fridge, which you can't really see in this picture.  As you can see from the before picture, the sellers utilized all the cou...

I read a blog by James Gordon this morning about when you should turn down an overpriced listing and it reminded me of something that happened to me last month.I received a call from an out of state seller who had a rental property on the market for 191 days, yes, I said 191.  During that time, the price was $104k.  People in other markets might think anyone would jump on this house and they're crazy not to.  However, I went and previewed the house, and ran comps, and the house comps out at about $92-95k.At the time the sellers called me, they were still under a listing agreement, so I talked with them in generalizations about the area and said we would talk in more specifics when their listing expired, as the broker would not release the listing.  With all our talks, they knew I knew i...
