The margins for Townhomes does not increase like a single family home does unless it is new. Stick with a house if you are looking for margin increases and to gain the equity but be careful. also, contact a Realtor and ask them to look at the market and what the projected growth is in that particukar area. I work with a lot of investors who look at these trends to determine the estimated equity.

I live in the subdivivion Thornberry Ridge next to the Lacima area. the main difference is the lot and home sizes, thus prices. There are 3 sections, Manor-largest,Haven-Middle and Meadows-smallest. Huntington and Drees built in Manor and Highland and Darling built in the Haven and Meadows section.
Hope this helps - Fri Nov 7 2008, 06:16
Chris Harden-McKinney,TX answered:
David,
The short answer to your question is that it is binding but there are outs for you such as the option period and financing addendums. But, you should get pre-approved with a reputable lender so you know payments and,especially in today's changing financial markets, the program(FHA,conventional) so you are informed with how much down and whether buyer's closing costs assistance is needed.
But, your Realtor is just desperate to write a deal and not doing you any favors. Your Realtor needs to know what type of financing you are doing before he/she ever writes a contract. Typically, a seller will ask for a pre-qual letter anyway before accepting. They do not want to risk binding their home to someone who cannot truly purchase it.

I have a couple listed in Craig Ranch now...answer...very minimal in Craig Ranch North and actual depreciation due to Foreclosure in the Setllement and Hemmingway. These 2 area will be at least a 2 yr turn around and will depend on the overall market. The north section is almost completed and this has not been hit with the foreclosures as badly so the market is pretty normal overall.
if you have any other questions on the area feel free to contact me directly - Thu Sep 11 2008, 11:41

The short answer to the foreclosure question is that the builder sold the units to out of town investors who rented them out thinking the value in the area is going to increase like California and Las Vegas but that did not happen. Thus, property taxes come due and they do not have any equity in these properties and the rent does not cover the excess cost...so, now you have short sales and foreclosures. I am working with an investor now buying a foreclosure there and also have another foreclosure listed in the complex.
As stated by the previous agents, Cooper is separate fee. - Wed Aug 27 2008, 13:12
