About Me
I have lived in Lake County, Illinois for a majority of my adult life. 20+ years, but who's counting.
I have been a real estate professional for going on 9 years. Before that, I was a personal investor. At the height of my investment portfolio I had 8 rental properties, my own personal residence, two jobs and at that time I was a single mom. Because of that fact, I only make straightforward, direct and true statements. I can't promise that you will always like what I have to say, but I can promise you, it will be the truth.
They say that inexperience is expensive, But honesty is PRICELESS!
I am well versed in Short sales, foreclosures, pre-foreclosures, deed in lieu, land contracts or rent to own, investment properties and investment strategies using real estate (rental properties), HUD properties, Auctions, land sales, Custom Home sales and NEW CONSTRUCTION, first time homebuyers, upsizing, downsizing, military families, mutli-cultural families, multi-generational families and divorcing or divorced families.
My proven Listing Strategy Consultation allows me the luxury to take on only properties that I know I can sell.
My Proven Buyers Strategy Consultation allows me the luxury to focus on EXACTLY what my clients NEEDS vs WANTS are.
MY GUARANTEED 30-Day Marketing Plan allows me to show my clients BEFORE they list with me, how I will be working on their behalf DAILY, giving them a precise expectation of what to expect and when.
My 24 hour cancellation policy allows peace of mind not only for myself, but for my clients as well. Allowing them to cancel their listing with me at anytime, given appropriate cancellation documentation is in order, with no questions asked.
This gives me the opportunity to FIRE my clients, just as easily as they can fire me.
I am a tough negotiator, I will negotiate the best sales price for either my buyer or my seller.
If you ask my family, they will tell you that I am a born fighter.
If you ask my friends, they will tell you that I am a hard worker!
If you ask my clients, they will tell you that I am warm and personable. That I listen, and find solutions to their situations.
If you ask me whether I'm Successful or not...I will say, I'm only as successful as my last transaction. Because I know that without my satisfied client, my business would NOT BE!

Hi Jen-
In today's market, the process for the bank, is to get as close to the amount owed as the home is worth. With as many short sales as they have going on right now. The answer to your question is simple.
Ultimately, it comes down to..."this is the price they want, take it or leave it." No Negotiation.
Unfortunately, I have seen the banks leave people at the closing table who are willing to pay cash, because the negotiated price wasn't high enough.
But, it's the process by which they get to that number, that is driving everyone crazy.
I am an REO agent, and my specialty is foreclosures, pre-foreclsoures, auctions and REO's. Currently I am putting together the process that a short sale takes to get it to close.
If you'd like to discuss it further, please feel free to call or email me directly.
Hope that helps.

Hi Ravi-
Many first time investors do this.
The first thing you must do, is look at your CCR, or the homeowners association for where the condo is located. Making sure that they allow renters.
Then you must tell your loan officer or the bank that you are changing the property from personal to investment property. That may mean that you will have to refinance. And your home owners insurance will need to be changed as well. You will need to tell the Homeowners insurance company that it is now investment property.
Hope that helps!

You are looking for a qaud level home. You can ask the Realtor that showed you the home, or you can call me directly.

Lisa Schade answered:
Hi Ming-
From what you said, it appears to be an unfinished area of sub basement. Not a finished laundry room and tool room. So, then Mark is correct, it would not add value. However, if it were to be completed that would be a different story.
Sounds like you are describing a quad level home. There are very few of them. Depending on the condition the sub basement is in, that will determine the value added, or taken away.
You can ask the realtor that showed you the home. Or, please feel free to contact me directly. But ask for comps for a quad level home. Not a Ranch with a basment and a sub basement. The values will be different. Hope that helps!

Hi Joe-
Well, actually, I would love to help you. And what you are asking for, in any market, is right around the corner. November and December are the best times to buy softened market homes. Unless you are buying auctioned properties. That is where you will make the most roi. (Return on investment). Please feel free to send me an email explaining exactly what you are looking for and we will go from there.
