Vito Boscaino's Answers (31)
Vito Boscaino answered:
German Village has historically been a popular area, though in the recent few years the Short North and Harrison West and Victorian Village have become somewhat more popular. As well, there are a number of downtown condo alternatives today that did not exist previously. From a valuation perspective I would say that german Village has probably seen the peak in terms of property values and appreciation. Merion Village could be considered a lesser cousin of German Village. Fair questions on the safety issue. I would do some due diligence and make sure you get a variety of opinions on this subject.

Vito Boscaino answered:
If the Realtor asks you if you will offer a co-op, they are asking if you will pay to them a commission, normally expected to be 3.0%, but effectively you can offer whatever commission percentage you might want to. You as the seller will still be responsible to manage your end of the transaction which may include reviewing and understanding an initial purchase contract, development of counteroffers and addendums to further supprot the negotiation/transaction process. You will also be responsible for coordinating the transaction in the sense of finding a title company, reviewing buyer loan documents, responding to Requests for Remedy from the Buyer (resulting from inspection process) etc.
Help-U-Sell North High Realty is a full service real estate marketing company where as a selling client you will never pay more than 4.5% in commissions and you will have the opportunity to sell for as low as 1.0%. We offer the most comprehensive internet marketing program available (85% of buyers start out looking online) and we will provide full transaction support all the way through to the closing table.
Give me a call to find out more.

Vito Boscaino answered:
I would certainly advise you to be forthcoming about your situation in regards to the information you rpovide your lender. The key here is how you position your decision to rent. If the rental payment you are making is less than the mortgage, interest, tax and insurance you were making on your property, you could make the case that you had to reduce your monthly payment amount and this was the only effective way to do that. Obviously with a hardship letter you need to include every bit of financial informationand rationale that could help the lender understand just how dire your personal financial situation might be.

Vito Boscaino answered:
No. This is generally not a good idea. A key part of the process in evaluating a home is looking at the exterior of the structure itself, inculding roof, gutters, siding, windows, doors, potential moisture problems, the yard, fencing, garage etc. This will tell you a lot about much repair or investment might be needed, as well as giving you a better idea of how the seller treated the property. You also want to have the opportunity to look over the neighbors properties, the subdivision, etc. What about overhead power lines, utility rights of way, alley access, street parking etc.
Once you become interested in a specific property, I would recommend evaluating the area around the property in the commuting time periods such as early morning, late afternoon, early evening. Also, drive around on weekends.
There is a lot to evaluate when considering a home purchase whether it is for primary occupancy or investment purposes. Always assume that the night is not your friend in making the most of the opportunities to inspect the property and the surrounding areas.

Vito Boscaino answered:
Most likely no. If you look at the $2,000 as a component of value that you are willing to contribute to secure an acceptable offer, I would consider the following options:
1. Lower the price by the same amount
2. Invest the $2,000 in the property to address any issues (if any) that may be detracting from the quality of the home (new appliances, carpet, paint, windows, landscaping etc.)
3. Offer to buy down the Buyers interest rate (talk with a mortgage lender and create a scenario that would provide an example of how much the rate could be lowered).
4. You can get creative - Offers to buyers could include things like: New plasma TV, airline tickets to anywhere, Several years of lawn care service, furniture store credit etc.
A lot depends on the price point of your home. If you have an entry level property and the expectation would be that most people interested in your property would be first-time home buyers, than anything that helps them close the deal: lower price, interest rate buydown, credit towards lender pre-paids etc. are likely to carry more weight.
If you have a more expensive property tat would be considered a move-up home, than condition/age of mechanicals, systems etc. is more important. In this case some of the more interesting "creative" ideas could work to draw attention.
