Brighton Lakes is a great community with nice homes.

When this community was in its kick off stages, our local market was quickly appreciating. Many people who purchased a home to live in Brighton also purchased a second to resale once both were complete.

In the build process the market dramitacally changed and new inventory homes were selling for less than pre sales home that were closing at the same time. Investors who purchased a second home to sell for quick profit wee stuck and many could not afford two payments and let them go back to the bank.

It is a great location for a private vacation home.

If you would like a list of the properties available in Brighton including Bank Owned Foreclosures, please let me know. - Elizabeth landgraf, Relocation Director, CB Ackley Realty - Thu Apr 24 2008, 12:18

Unfortunately, the name of the game for bank owned foreclosures is hurry up and wait.... You hurry when they ask and you wait on them. It is not malicious, in most cases the bank reps are just extremely overwhelmed at this point. Think about a cartoon with a snowball rolling downhill and getting larger and larger and a little character about to get hit, that is how a lot of bank reps feel. If you can wait, the deal is usually worth it! - Thu Apr 24 2008, 05:52

Sort term rental season is upon us, with Spring Break and summer vacation approaching. You need to interview several short term companies and ask very specific questions to find a good company that matches your rental income needs. There are 100s of Property Management companies in the area, find a good one and it is a great opportunity, use a less than good company and you will see less than good return. Long term rental is a little harder, with a lot of owners chooing to rent instead of sell, the market inventory is high, forcing prices down. - Thu Apr 17 2008, 06:12
