Merry Christmas

2009-12-22T08:45:00.000-08:00

This year has mixed views for most people. Hard times for most make it a tough year to celebrate. If we look to what we have verses other much more unfortunate, it helps a lot to celebrate.

I think that one of the best ways of showing a spirit of the season is to share with those who don't have as much as we do. There truely is more happiness in giving and we can find ways to do so this season.

One way is to be a secret Santa. You can go to people you know or just drive to a store or a gas station or an area that you might have a lot of people around. Giving to those that might need maybe food, maybe some cash, maybe some gas. Maybe for a child a toy. Doing for a stranger that can't repay you is the best feeling in the world. It doesn't have to be much but I say give till it hurts a little.

We all have much to be thankfull for. Even if there is a death in the family, even if you lost your job or lost a lot of money in the stock market. There is so much we do have. Look at the positive and help others. That will help us all and you to have a Merry Christmas.

Our Best to you all,

$8000 Tax Credit for First Time Homebuyer Extension?

2009-10-27T10:12:00.000-07:00

It appears likely that the U.S. Senate will go forward and approve an extension of the First-Time Homebuyer Tax Credit.

Will there be a catch though? they want some fiscal offset for the cost of the extension. That could stir up a "hornets nest" for some.

What appears to be most likely to pass is an extension of the $8000 through March 31, 2010 and then a drop of $2,000 for each quarter following.

Hearry Reid- Navada's Senate Majoriey Leader and Senate Finance Committee Chairman is the leader of the extension.

Let's support this plan and call your Senator's to let them know you support it. We as a group should be able to make it happen.

We will watch the news closely for udates. Check for those updates on www.aaarealtyllc.com

Chears,

Christmas Specials

2009-10-21T07:51:00.000-07:00

It's starting to look a lot like Christmas! Even though the stores are starting to stock all the Christmas items to try and build us up for the season, for many this Christmas is going to be hard to be Merry. Many are still facing housing issues. Jobs are still being lost. This year I think we will see many services we use on a regular basis will be discounted. To go along with that, we as a company will be offering Christmas specials for any new property management homes as well as new tenants.

Check out our Christmas offers that will be listed on the web at aaarealtyllc.com. If you have a business that doesn't normally discount for the holidays, I want to challange you to do so this year. We can help our communities in a small way find some way to cellebrate the holidays.

Cheers,

There is no doubt in my mind that Lehigh Acres will rebound and come back better than ever! Why do I say that? Comon sense! Let's forget the rumors. Let's forget what the media says. As a real estate broker, I sell homes. Homes are selling. Homes are selling with multiple offers. That drives up the prices and shows upward turn in the market.

So here's the rest: There is just too many of us who care about Lehigh Acres We will take Lehigh to a level that will be attractive to anyone looking for a nice place to call home. Florida is a great place to live and the availability of fair priced homes in Florida is becoming more and more of a commodity. What that means is- 0ut with the theives that have been stealing appliances and a/c's and trying to take away our peacefull life here and we will prevail. The homes will be be filled with community minded homeowners and we will prevail.

My advice to anyone thinking about it, Don't hesitate to buy in Lehigh. I did 10 years ago and don't regret it for one minute. We will be part of the solution! Come join us.

Lehigh Acres loses 40 Firemen

2009-08-21T08:41:00.000-07:00

What a tragedy! Our public service workers got a big hit the beginning of this week when the county followed throught with firing of 40 fire fighters here just in Lehigh Acres.

Just a few weeks ago, at my office, my staff had to call 911 for me due to some chest pains I was having. Just a few minutes later, the Lehigh Acres paremedics showed up and started immediately checking me, treating me and getting transported to a local hospital. When I spoke to the girl that was caring for me about the possible cut backs, she informed me that she was in fact one of the ones that was on the chopping block.

I sat there and listened to her story on how sad this possible cut back would effect her life and how much she loved her job and my heart really broke for her. Well I was just thinking this morning that she is out of a job now. I hope for her sake she is able to find a job elsewhere and or that she has another career to follow up on.

I would love to get a hold of her and offer her a change of careers at my company. If anyone out there would like an opportunity to become a realtor, I will pay for the eduacation and licensing. Give us a call at AAA Realty LLC at 239-368-8520 or check us out of the web at www.aaarealtyllc.com.

Lehigh Acres is getting a bad rap

2009-08-07T18:47:00.000-07:00

Tell me- where can you go in the US that doesn't have crime? Doesn't have the same issues that is happening here in our community?

Here is the difference in my opinion. You have an area that it's major growth happened during the housing boom a few years ago. Anyone who had a pulse could buy. 100% financing with no money down. What they were not told was that that meant in a couple of years they would go from a 900 dollar reasonable mortgage payment to 2200 dollar payment and climbing. That along with losing jobs etc. etc. etc.

So leaving these poor people with no option other than giving up their homes, we now sit as the highest or one of top 10 foreclosures. Then let's top that off and give us the reputation of being very crime ridden. Well guys a bunch of desperate people and even move vacant homes equals dramatic increase in burgluries. It's just gonna happen.

The fix is to get the homes sold and homeowners living in them again. This will take away most of the problems. Once the homes are lived in again, most of everything else will take care of itself. The local economy will thrive with people spending money and making more jobs for those that buy and want to live and work here.

Let's not stand for the media giving us a bad name for one more minute! Lehigh Acres is a great place to live and work. I have lived and worked here for more than 10 years and I look forward to another 10!

Chinese Dry Wall Problems

2009-08-07T09:12:00.000-07:00

Wow we didn't see this one comming. If the market itself wasn't a reason to rethink what business to be in and the market crashing still being so fresh, now we got Chinese Dry Wall to contend with. Where did that come from? Look at housing prices now! Falling falling falling.

It is reported that during the housing boom 500 million pounds of this nasty stuff was imported into the US a few years ago. That equates about 100,000 homes built this drywall in the United States alone.

Wall Street Journal reports that the danger is to electric, fire and health. This leaves many homeowners with a big decision to make. The EPA revealed that the drywall contained elevated levels of strontium sulfide, as well as several organic compounds associated with the production of acrylic paint which were not present in samples of U.S.-made drywall. What that exactly means, we don't know yet but it does not look good.

The cost to rehab these homes is over $20,000 as all the drywall, insulation and some of the plumbing as well as the air conditioning air handler needs to be replaced. So what does this leave for homeowners? Many are just plain walking away. Some are trying to deal with the issues. Many are becoming available for sale as great deals and the investors buying them are rehabing and fliping them.

For those buying homes right now, make sure you get a home inspection that includes the inspection for the Chinese Dry Wall.

Home Improvement Ideas

Now is not the time to sell if you don't absolutely have to so many homeowners are turning to restoring old, refurbishing and renovating their existing homes. There are many ideas that you do-it-yourselfers can tackle with a little time and some small expense, can make a huge change in how your home looks and feels. For this week's blog, we will give you a few quick easy ways to spruce up your kitchen.

Let's start with lighting. You can go a long way with updating your lighting with some track lighting or hanging tube lighting both available at most home improvement stores like Lowes or Home Depot. Mood lighting with candles, oil lamps and dimmers make a dramatic look vs the old hard lighting regular standard light bulbs or flourescents create.

Not happy with your cabinets? Why not paint your old ones. There is some great paint out there again available at local hardware stores and can real update your old cabinets on a budject that is affordable.

One last consideration is to cover your old countertops with tile. You can do it an a much lower budjet than marble or granite and it really can make a difference to pick up the room and dress it up.

If you are on a budget than can afford some outside contractor work, we can help you. We are painting contractors and work with a general contractor to do any and all home renovations at a price that might pleasantly surprise you. Give us a call at 239-303-1318 for a no cost evaluation or price quote.

Housing Statistics:

Lehigh Acres snapshot of the last 24 hours sold 11 homes at an average price of 53,622. There are 34 new homes that hit the market today at an average price of $115,591. 85% of these homes are banked owned properties. This time last year we had sold in the month of Feburary 58 homes at an average of $133,419. This year the decease is 147% in price at an average of $54,419. You ask if the deals are out there? Yes Yes Yes they are. Call us today to find out what deals are out there for you.

In The News:

"Lehigh Reputation takes big hit" This is the headlines of the News Star (Local Lehigh Acres Paper) The New Yorker Paper had an article that named Lehigh Acres one of America's potential new "slums". I am disgusted personally about how this article was written and I beg to differ. I am not saying that Lehigh Acres doesn't have it's problems but it's mostly due to the unsuspecting people that were taken advantage of by the big banks and disgracefull lenders that took many nice hardworking folks, wrung them up and twisted them up and now spit them out as wasted as they foreclose one after another on homes they should have never lent them money in the first place to buy. And then to make things even worse, in case they didn't do enough harm, they now foreclose and sell the houses to someone else at 1/4th of the price they sold it for the first time. When the buyers asks for modification to avoid the foreclosure, they are told the help is available. In fact most times the help available is not enough to save them. So the cost is passed on to the bank to foreclose, manage and resell at a price that is out of control low. How's that for fair? Is there anywhere we can call safe anymore? The New Yorker should look at their own neighborhood and take the plank out of their own eye before taking the speck out of ours. Lehigh Acres will come out of this, bigger and better and we will be a growing community of mostly hardworking good folk that want to be part of a neighborhood of decent human beings and you all will see!

Hot Buys:

How about $48,000 for a 3/2 pool home in Lehigh Acres? That's right. 4113 2nd St SW Lehigh Acres is a property that has a pool, a fenced in back yard, a shed and lot's of potential. Call us today for more information and a showing at AAA Realty LLC 239-368-8520.

Gov't May Force Banks to Reduce Homeowners Mortgages to Meet Market

2009-02-09T13:58:00.000-08:00

Capital Hill debates go on and this very controversial legislation looks like it's on the fast track to be passed into law, maybe as soon a the end of February (This very month).

You may have heard it called "Cramdown" legislation and it's designed to help financially distressed homeowners from losing their homes to foreclosure. So the idea is in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, the homeowner shows that they owe $200,000 on their home but the home is now only worth $80,000 the courts will tell the banks that now the homeowner only owes you $80,000 and you can't foreclose, so live with it.

What are your thoughts? This sounds too good to be true for some and has others completely up in arms thinking about the people that will take "advantage" of such a law and may default even if they really could pay their mortgage.

My opinion, for what it is worth is that it could be great for some very unsuspecting people that were taking advantage of by unscrupulous mortgage brokers, banks and Realtors. Ouch did I just say that? Sorry but it really is true. Many people were taken advantage of and the guilty of the originators is what it is. So again in my humble opinion, there needs to be laws in place to stop that and if the banks suffer some more because of it, well so be it. They may learn a thing or two- Those that are left.

My advice and only my opinion again is that if you are in a position that you need to possibly foreclose on your property, talk to a lawyer first. Get advice from them and only after you really know all the facts, should you go forward with your plans to foreclose. The time you take could save your home, a lot of aggravation and many sleepless nights.

BUY YOUR INVESTMENT PROPERTY NOW

2009-01-30T17:54:00.000-08:00

No one has to guess right now as to when is the best time to buy an investment property. Now is the time. The deals are out there and cash flow is positive if you buy right.

Never had the opportunity to buy but now you have some money that is not making money for you in the stock market and you may be thinking about a real estate investment. This blog entry will deal with some suggestions of what to look for and also what to watch out for when considering an investment property.

First you have to decide what your exit strategy will be. Is it to hold the property for long term, rent it now and wait for the market to turn? Is it to move some fast cash flow and move on to another? Depending on which is your desire or goal, you would buy very differently.

Let's talk about buying and holding for a few years. If this is your goal then consideration needs to be made on how the house will rent will play a large part in the decision process. If you don't know the area, this is where enough can't be said that you need to research research and then research some more. Call a realtor in the area or maybe 2 or 3 different ones. Ask them as many questions as possible to ascertain the best or most popular areas. Where are the schools? Where is the center of town? Where is the police station? Check the local crime logs to see if you can see a pattern. Go at night time to the area if you are close by and see what is happening at night in the neighborhood. These are some ways of determining very quickly the better areas to invest for the best return of your investment.

Buying to flip the property can be looked at slightly differently. It's a numbers game. If you can get the property cheap enough and can clean it up and resale it, everything has a selling price and if you are not greedy and don't take anything personally you can flip a property and make an easy few thousand dollars and then move on to the next. The end buyer gets a great deal and you made your money and move on to the next one.

In any case of these two opportunities we spoke about, you absolutely should be working with a Realtor. Their expertise, if it's a good one, will pay for itself over and over.

Tune in for the next post where more discussion on specifically what to look for in the investment opportunities we spoke about above.

In the meantime, feel free to contact us and we will be happy to sit down or talk on the phone and explain in more detail how you can safely invest in real estate that can bring you many years of monthly positive cash flow now and a later when you decide to sell, some retirement money or whatever your desire is to do with the money made on your investment.

The best part of it all is: You are in charge of your investment. You are the boss. Try that in the stock market when your money goes down the tube and you can only watch it happen!

To Buy Or Not To Buy-That is the question

2008-10-06T07:02:00.000-07:00

When exactly is the bottom of the market? When is the time to buy? If You buy now, will your home be worth less in a year from now? These are all the questions that many are asking themselves now and are seeking out advice from Realtors.

To first clear up a common misconception- Realtors are not fortune tellers. They base their "educated guesses" based on history. That's all "we" have. History shows that our finance system is like a clock.

As told by Peter Switzer of the Daily Telegraph "A clock at 12 o'clock is boom time. At one o'clock interest rates are rising. By two, share prices start to fall and by three commodity prices start to fall too. At five, real estate feels the pinch and six o'clock is recession. At seven o'clock the Reserve Bank cuts interest rates to kick-start the economy and by eight share prices anticipate an improving economy, beginning to rise. Commodity prices perk up at nine o'clock and, as unemployment falls, real estate makes a comeback about 10 or 11 o'clock."

This is how the system has worked for hundreds of years. So based on this clock, where are we today? Looks to me based on the bail out plan from our federal gov't just being passed and Reserve banks cutting interest rates that we should soon see an upswing and we are pretty close to the bottom and recession status. Pretty clear isn't it?

So it appears to me and it should to you also that now would be a great time to buy. Wait too much longer and prices may start to rise and there may have been great "missed" opportunities.

Bottom line and my point in this article is this: If you are even remotely thinking of buying and fall into one of the great programs that have been released as recently as this past weekend- get with your realtor and start looking. You can buy now for less than most rentals and if you are in a position to buy as investment, you have a unique position to buy and have a long term investment and a monthly cash cow.

Don't let our economy scare you, make no mistake, even though this is a rough time and records are braking in the foreclosure market and things appear very scary, it's all just part of our system of finance. We will survive and will rebound and be the resilient and thriving country we have always been.

So to answer the question about when to buy. There is no time like the presence. You can call us at AAA Realty LLC at 239-368-1831 or check us out on the web at http://www.aaarealtyllc.com/ .

What Is A BPO?

2008-07-13T16:52:00.000-07:00

BPO stands for Broker's Price Opinion. This is a valuation report that is done by a real esate agent or broker to determine price for a home in a particular market at a particular time. Even though they are used quite frequently by lenders getting ready to foreclose on a property, or allow a particular price for a short sale, this valuation report is not new to the industry. Prior to the dramatice increase in foreclosures and distressed sales, when a borrower was to refinance or regular loan servicing would be reasons for a lender to order a BPO.

Now that you know what they are, we want to tell you when it would be wise for you to utilize one for your own benefit. First if you are an investor and are considering a short sale of a property, it would be prudent for you to order your own BPO so you will know approximately what the bank expects or may be willing to price their home.

How do you get one of these BPO's? If you do a google search of your area of agents that perform these reports, you can contact them individually to order one. There are also BPO Companies that work for the lending industry and have at their disposal in most cases, agents though out the country that perform bpo's for them.

If you have any more questions, or are in need of a BPO in the Lee County FL area, you can call us directly as we are "Certified Property Valuators" and will be happy to answer questions you have and also quote you a price on what your valuation report would cost you. Call us at 239-368-8520 or email at tammyjrodriguez@gmail.com for more info.

Will It Ever Get Better?

2008-01-10T16:02:00.000-08:00

Our economy seems to be sinking faster and faster. Is there any hope of recovery? South West Florida is down 12% in the housing market with the nation being 7% down. Being above the national average brings even more stress to our local economy. So when and how will there be a change upward?

There are signs to show that by the end of 2008 we should be seeing a sign of the turn. Excess building accounts for a lot of the local problem here in Lee county as well as of course the banking mess. With the interest rates dropping that will create a demand in the market that will help the turn around. So if this is the case, what can we do to survive for the next 12 months or so?

For us Real Estate Professionals, we need to "get back to the basics". Now more than ever is the time to focus on customer service like no other time. Additionally we need to downsize our operations and stay in the game. Real Estate professionals are dropping out like flys. If we remain steadfast, we will be here to accept the business as it comes in first in the dribbles and then the flow will come back and we need to be ready and know the market trends as they change.

I personally look at this time as a time of challange and refuse to give up or in and will be here to help those looking for homes to buy and sell now and for many years to come.

Police try to save a Mannaquin

2007-08-06T08:07:00.000-07:00

I just read about an incident in Auburn WA that left me laughing this morning so I thought I would share it with you.

A police officer saw what he thought was an ill person as a passenger in a vehicle traveling in an HOV lane. Because of his concern, he pulled the car over and the person driving as a passenger was not a person at all but instead was a mannequin. The driver was using this unsuspecting retired from Macy's doll as his passenger so he could drive on the HOV lane. Well the driver got what the officer thought he had coming- a ticket for driving in the HOV lane. I personally thought the guy should get off with a warning just for being so creative but who am I.

So for any of you thinking about trying something like this, don't do it or maybe just use make-up so the mannequin doesn't look ill.

Are you facing Foreclosure?

2007-08-02T06:34:00.000-07:00

We have seen a huge increase of foreclosures in our market here in South West Florida. Cape Coral being the number 1 and Lehigh Acres close behind. What is the cause of all these foreclosures. In most cases people owe more than the house is worth now that prices have dropped. These people most likely financed with 100% loans with a 3/1 arm. The prices have gone up because of the arm and now they can't afford the new payments. When originally getting these loans the thought was; I will refinance before the rate goes up. It was a great thought but no one knew that prices would drop and it would be impossible to refinance when you owe more than the house is worth. Very sad situation.

Is there any help? There are some avenues that you can try if you find yourself in this situation. We will cover them breifly here but we encourage you to contact us for more information to see if your situation could be handled within the terms we discuss.

You can talk to your lender and explain the situation to them and show them how you cannot afford the payment but would like to see if they can reduce the interest rate. This has been done but in most cases, don't count on it. It is a long shot.
You can hire a specialist in dealing with these situations (some real estate brokers or realtors may handle these) and let them work out a plan to try and get your lender to either do as #1 suggests or a short sale or deed in leu of foreclosure. Please understand that there is no guarantees with trying this method but your chances are much greater when you use these specialists. They know what the lenders want to know and how to present it to them. The only drawback is this is not done for free. You are already in a negative financial situation and you have to spend money here ( usually from $500-1,500) and there is no guarantee it will work. You have the most chance using these specialists but you have to be able to pay the fees that go along with it.

If you feel like you want to pursue one on these avenues with us, you can contact us for a free phone consultation. Call us at 239-368-8520 for more information. Also check us out at our website at www.aaarealtyllc.com

School Scores In

2007-08-01T19:15:00.000-07:00

I was surprised by the 2007 rankings of of schools in Lehigh Acres. I have listed them below for your convenience.

Lehigh Elementary School - B
Sunshine Elementary- A
Veteran's Park Elementary- A
Mirror Lakes Elementary - B
Gateway Elementary - A
Gateway Charter School - A

We are pretty impressed with the scores for Lehigh's Elementary schools. I think that it shows a great improvement in some schools and a continued greatness in others. You really can't go wrong in any of these schools as even a B is a good school. Way To Go Lehigh. Keep up the good work!

Schools almost back in session

If you have school aged children, now is the time to start preparing for the August 20th starting date. If uniforms are needed, Walmart is a great choice to buy them. They stock a huge inventory of the generic uniforms needed in Lehigh Acres Schools. Also if you go to Walmart you can get the list of your schools supply list for your child's school and grade. Then you can get those supplies right there. One stop shop for all your back to school needs.

The kids look forward to summer vacation but after the long weeks of "nothing to do" they are excited to get back in most cases. Each school has an open house prior to school start date and this is usually announced through an invitation in the mail. If you forgot or did not get one, you can google their school name and find their web site. It will be listed there.

My only advice is to shop early and don't stress yourselves by waiting until the last minute for back to school uniforms and supplies. You and your body will be happy not to put that extra stress on yourself.

Happy Shopping
