Which Is The Better Choice of Timeshare Program?

Wednesday, May 21st, 2008 | Real Estate, Timeshare with 1 Comment

I’ve been researching the pros and cons of owning a timeshare vs. owning a luxury resort membership. Do not shell out ridiculous prices on timeshare by buying from the resort developers and timeshare companies who typically trade timeshares at as high as 50% than the usual costs; as an alternative, you should buy a luxury resort vacation membership.

My research has revealed that more people are better off with a luxury resort vacation club over a timeshare. For instance, most “quality” timeshares cost anywhere from $10,000 (on the extreme low) to $25,000. Not only that, timeshares usually come with a limited number of weeks per year, black out dates and generally have some sort of annual maintenance dues and you usually have to book almost a year in advance! I don’t know about you, but I don’t really like “strings attached” or restrictions when it comes to almost anything I can think of.

My research also revealed that the United States has been (and is still) the country that has the largest buyers and sellers of timeshares. As far as the statistics on timeshares is concerned, over 3 million households in the United States own about 5 million timeshare weeks in over 1,500 resorts. Most people are satisfied with the timeshares they bought; this was proven when the American Resort Development Association revealed in its study that “over 80% of timeshare owners were satisfied with their purchases”.

Even with these statistics, what seems to be a better alternative is a luxury vacation membership club. I feel that the mainstream public is not aware of luxury membership clubs and that is a big reason for the favorable timeshare statistics. How about you?

Real Estate Investing: Not A Get Rich Scheme

Thursday, May 15th, 2008 | Real Estate with 1 Comment

Hello guys! As we know, it should be clearly understood at the very outset that real estate investing is not a scheme that makes people rich overnight and that too without expending much effort. On the contrary, real estate investing means putting in a lot of hard work and it will also take time before you realize your objectives. It also requires that you perfect certain techniques and combine them with your experience so that you act in the best possible manner at all times. So, in many times, more people need professional help if they want to make an invest in real estate. There is too many real estate professional services today. As example, if you are living in Detroid, then you can use Detroit Area Estate Planning and Probate Law Firm to manage your real estate investation and law aspect.

One way of getting ahead in real estate investing is through rental properties because being a landlord is an activity that has been known to man for many a long time and it has always helped one to earn good money. It is however something that does not happen too often because you don’t want to rent out your property on a short-term basis (in most cases). You can also profit from a technique known as lease optioning in which you get to control the property without actually becoming its owner. The best part about this form of real estate investing is that you can earn money in more ways than one and never have to spend your own money in the process.

Also, real estate investing could also mean going out looking for more deals because as you will have realized, the more deals you are able to close the more money you will end up earning. You can also wait for a good deal to come your way and whether you are a pushy investor or one who is patient and waits for deals to come your way you will need to be very persistent if you want to succeed in this form of investing. Thus, you should talk to as many owners as you can because the more deals you make the greater the amount of money you will have earned.

Once you realize that the more deals you close the more money will come your way you need to focus your real estate investing efforts in a few simple yet effective directions. First off, you need to try and buy properties from private owners since it will allow you to bypass competitive buyers who usually throng auctions looking for bargain buys. Also, private owners may be facing foreclosure and thus would be on the lookout for a buyer so you can land some sweet deals in this novel and effective way.

You can also profit in real estate investing by selling and leasing back. A source worth tapping out in this regard is businesses that have bought properties during boom periods but who are now facing liquidity problems. If you have the cash, such businesses will be willing to do business with you and you can then buy the property and then lease it back to the company and expect a nine to ten percent return on your investment.

So, do not to hescitate to contact Detroit Area Estate Planning and Probate Law Firm if you need more help about real estate planning and law aspect.

Real Estate Marketing - Print is not dead!

Wednesday, March 5th, 2008 | Real Estate with 1 Comment

Over the course of the last six months as the market has continued to undergo a severe shakedown, I have encountered many Realtors in online forum websites who think print is dead.

The buzz words you’ll find being tossed around on many internet real estate forums are search engine optimization, website design, banner ads, internet listings/postings, email flyers and much more that didn’t exist until the coming of the digital age. Let’s be clear that those buzzwords are important and play a vital role in each client’s advertising and marketing efforts in order to attract the attention of potential buyers. However, just as these are important tools in a realtor’s tool chest, let’s not forget that the tools of the past can still play a vital role in the quest for the increasing elusive “sold” sign in the world of real estate.

One clear sign of this is the fact that so many Realtors on these internet forum sites continue to complain that their clients insist that they also place ads in local papers and home guides, or print out actual flyers. The Realtors seem to cringe when they hear those requests from their clients saying that they rarely see results from such advertisements and what they believe amounts to wasted marketing dollars. Still the clients push this approach and usually the Realtor will give in.

It’s hard to be sure that such marketing strategies are so terrible or that they produce such dismal results. As internet savvy as some people are today, it very well could be that someone sees an advertisement in a local paper and then searches a website such as realtor.com for that particular listing hoping for more information and color photos that might not have been included in the paper listing. After all it’s expensive to list a lot of info in a print source and surely the savvy buyer will know that more info on the listing will probably exist online.

So now, did that lead originate online or from the print ad? The print ad of course.

Another example is that many many couples looking for homes will narrow the area down where they are looking and on Saturday and Sunday afternoons just drive around looking at potential homes. We’ve all been there. “Oh honey look, there’s one!” as the spouse points to the home with the “For Sale” sign in front. They pull over and someone jumps out and walks up to the flyer box to grab the awaiting sheet of info. They continue this procedure in the area of interest stopping at pre-planned homes and some along the way that eluded their previous internet searches before leaving the house. They then return home to go over the collected information discarding those of little interest and keeping the ones that may warrant a call to their Realtor for a possible viewing.

It’s a scenario that plays out every spring and summer all across America. My parents did it, my wife and I have done it and probably the person reading this has done it.

There are a few companies now that offer custom flyer designs for Realtors and home sellers. Realtors should not be so quick to dismiss these forms of marketing to potential home buyers. As played out in the scenario above, when it comes time to sort through the collection of material, a well made and designed brochure listing the property’s information may be just what is needed to inspire the buyer to take a second look and schedule a viewing.

There is no doubt that we live in a visual society. People are still attracted to shiny and pretty things. That will probably always be the case. A professionally designed and graphically attractive print ad or brochure can still turn out positive results. There is a reason print is still sold as a medium of communication and that’s because people are still using it.

Chances are home sellers are still going to request print marketing for some time to come. And the simple reason for that may be that they themselves are still using it like millions of other Americans. So instead of cringing at the request, why not try to focus on what will make the ad attractive to the eye of the potential buyer.

Buying New Construction Real Estate

Sunday, March 2nd, 2008 | Real Estate with No Comments »

Like any new thing it is easy to see why it might appeal to people. Untouched and unspoiled it offers the ability to make something one’s own.

When it comes to pre-construction real estate it is important to watch out for a few issues that might arise. Unlike regular real estate re-sales, new construction projects are mostly sold with “developer contracts”. Drafted by the attorneys working for the developer and worded to the benefit of the developer.

Have the contract reviewed by your attorney. This is money well spent in the light of a major purchase like a home or condo. Make sure you understand if the earnest money is held in escrow or is released to the developer.

If the price tag warrants it hire an independent building inspector. It is much easier to find defects during the building process then when everything is completed and sealed. Make sure you have the ability for a third party to inspect the property on a regular basis. You might need approval from the developer and the contract is the perfect place to arrange for this right.

You want to be able to assign your contract without extra costs. Whether this is to an entity you control or an outside person, you want to be in control what you can do with your contract before closing.

Visit the building site. Understand the layouts of what you want to buy. Find the best units not on paper but in real life. Discovering a unit that is better in comparison to other units in price and location can make the best deals. There is real value in finding this type of property.

Have a clear understanding about financing. If you are a cash buyer ignore this step. If you will need financing to close this transaction understand what it will take and be prepared to have the necessary funds.

Last but not least make sure that your earnest money is the only thing you can loose in the deal. You do not want to be responsible for liquidated damages or be open to other forms of recourse of the developer.
