An Estate Sale Appraisal Process. After 25 years of handling estate sale appraisal in the Baltimore Metropolitan area I have seen my fair share of estate sales. But what is an estate sale? An estate sale means a person has died and the party/parties that inherited the property are selling it. Estate properties usually are priced well to reflect that fact that they need work.

One of renting's major benefits is that you don’t have to worry about upkeep, maintenance and expensive repairs. So when things go bad - your dishwasher stops working, the roof is leaking or the bugs just won’t go away - your first call is usually your landlord. But how do you know what’s really their responsibility and what falls to you?

Updated 9/20/18; Originally published 2/1/16. It is a strategy nick-named “ House Hacking ”, and I wish I had done it the first two homes I bought (I figured it out by the third home!). What is it? Multi-families. E.g. Duplexes and Fourplexes. Duplexes and Fourplexes (or Quadplexes) can be bought with traditional, residential financing ( VA loan, FHA, Conventional etc.), just like any traditional single-family home, as long as you choose to live in one of the units.

Updated 9/20/18; originally published 8/6/15. Takeaways. Understanding what happens with the commission can help sellers understand why agents charge what they do. The median income for agents nationally is rather modest – even more so in a lower price point area like Killeen. A good agent should be worth the commission and then some. Don’t settle for less.

Updated 9/19/2018; Originally published 9/3/15. The property taxes in Harker Heights are expensive! That’s one of the most pervasive real estate myths in the Fort Hood area. It is not exactly true, as, in fact, Harker Heights has one of the lowest property tax rates in the Fort Hood area. Instead, Harker Heights’ property taxes are more not because the rate is higher but because property values in Harker Heights are higher as a whole.

Most of us likely think of fix-and-flips as investment deals that require renovation know-how or at least the ability to hire skilled contractors with that knowledge. The truth is that today’s fix-and-flip residential housing market is far broader than that. In fact, savvy real estate investors don’t even have to shop around for the right house to buy, rip up flooring, paint or even break a sweat to make money in residential real estate.
