I want to rent a single family dwelling in Wildwood year round

Asked Wed Sep 5 2007, 14:02 by Ekim53 - Wildwood - Using Trulia - 5 answers

Will Kelly answered:

What size home are you looking for? There are a number of options for you. Having been a shore rat in my high school and college days I know your dilemma.

Look at it this way. A number of people will let you rent for the summer. I would recommend you approach someone with a proposal to rent the home for a full year at the full summer rate plus 15%.

Show them that if it goes unrented for two weeks in the summer they will most likely make less than if you rented it.

You may also try some other shore towns. Wildwood is still a very highly saught afte beach town. You can move inland a mile or so and most likely find the home you are looking for.

All the best,

where did you find map of houses?

Asked Wed Sep 5 2007, 04:48 by Amal Mohames - All locations - Tech Tips - 7 answers

Will Kelly answered:

I would grab a new construction book. Most real estate markets have books that just advertise new homes.

You can enter the address of the development into MSN and get a great birds eye view with their mapping functions. Use the link below. - Wed Sep 5 2007, 05:10

Do you put home tours on YouTube.com?

Asked Tue Sep 4 2007, 21:30 by Ruthless - All locations - Home Selling - 16 answers

Will Kelly answered:

Absolutely! There are a number of reasons why. First you will almost instantly be able to find the home on the web with a simple search of the address. It usually takes less than 24 hours for Google to grab the link.

You will find that your clients will send an email to everyone they know if you do it well. This has lead to some referral business.

I think you have to do everything you can. How can an agent say they are leveraging the technology if they aren't using video?

Realtor.com just released the use of video for listings. I think you will find that they would not have invested in the technology if they didn't think it would make a huge impact in the future.

Depending on your technology you can do an excellent quality. I have been a Mac user for a few years and they have really dialed in the technology with their latest release in software.

Remember we are all fighting to be at the top of the search engines. Who owns Youtube? Google! - Tue Sep 4 2007, 21:35

How is the market in ooltewah? and is it a good time to buy prop. to flip?

Asked Tue Sep 4 2007, 16:27 by fast58moody - Ooltewah - Market Conditions - 2 answers

Will Kelly answered:

Ooltewah seems to be a market that is holding pretty steady. Compared to a lot of markets Ooltewah seems to be very strong.

As for the flipping market, you can always find flips in any market. You just need to be realistic about the return on investment at this time.

Things to consider would be:
1-the rise in average days on market will increase your carrying costs.

2-the cost of money is getting more expensive for flippers/investors. The treasury bond is strong and we should see much lower rates but the industry is scared to lower the rate.

3-the rise in inventory will ultimately lower the average cost per square foot in a market of this nature. Though slide is temporary flipping is usually about getting rid of a property fast. - Tue Sep 4 2007, 17:12

Is it good or even proper to be both a practicing Real Estate Agent and Licensed Appraiser?

Asked Tue Sep 4 2007, 15:33 by Ruthless - All locations - Home Selling - 6 answers

Will Kelly answered:

In PA there are a number of appraisers who also hold brokers licenses. It was the norm to have an inhouse appraiser long before the in house mortgage broker in our local market.

I don't think there is a conflict because all of the appraisers are held to the standards of their profession. It takes alot more to get an appraisers license than a realtors license in the state of PA. There is usually a local standards of appraisal that set the guide lines for appraising properties. It's how the lender "secures" the appraisal.

Currently the microscope is pointed directly at the appraisers. If anything I think an appraiser who also sells will be far more careful in this market than someone who just appraises. They only see the industry from one side. The realtor sees it from all sides. - Tue Sep 4 2007, 17:00
