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.

The Fall 2018 Issue of Elliman Magazine was just released and as usual, I provided a two-page spread showing interesting (my definition, lol) of what is going on in some of the markets under their national footprint. The magazine is well done and a fun aspirational read. [click to expand].

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.

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.

What is a Transit-Oriented Development? Before we explain why a transit-oriented development might be a smart market for your next flip, let’s define this type of development. A transit-oriented development is a vibrant, walkable urban community with a mixture of housing, offices, retail shops, dining, entertainment, and other amenities—all centered around reliable public transportation, often a rail system.
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.
