Finding a real estate agent can be a big headache. Often, this can be a more challenging task than actually picking a house. Some agents may only be interested in working for commissions and may not even have your best interests in mind. This is why it is important to find one who won’t let you go to the dogs. Everything starts with educating yourself on the different kinds of agents.

Kinds of Agents

Agents typically represent either buyers or sellers. To be exact, those that represent buyers are often called brokers.

Compensation will depend on the agreement. Brokers may either be paid by the buyer or the seller’s agent. continue reading…

With the economy sputtering to get restarted after the home mortgage meltdowns many cities are facing income shortfalls especially in the building departments where permits are almost non existent. To make up for the loss in income many cities have begun to target homes in foreclosure and bank owned homes. This becomes an issue for investors and home buyers alike when they purchase a property, then rehab it or occupy it and one day gets a yellow letter in the mail requiring city inspections for occupancy, fun!

More frequently than not local cities are scouring public records to find homes that are in foreclosed or bank owed state. It is really pretty easy for them to spot with all of the sheriff sales and delinquent taxes. Typically if they are vacant for 90 plus days they tag them putting them on their “hit list’ which will require the home to have a city inspection done before it can be occupied by a homeowner (see how they generate lost income). They wait and watch for it to sell to an investor or a homeowner. Many cities have actually hired personnel for just this position. continue reading…

When homeowners face foreclosure on a property they are renting out, tenants often begin to worry about the status of their home. Will the landlord be able to avoid foreclosure? Should the tenants stop paying rent? Will the new owner at the auction evict them, or will the purchaser honor the lease agreement? Unfortunately, many of these questions exist due to differences in the treatment of tenants under state law.

Many times, the first action a purchaser at a foreclosure auction takes is to begin the process of evicting former owners or tenants, whether this action is legal or not.
