I’m surprised that they left the two month window but I think it’s very smart. Still, even if it were this week, I would not try to [...]

The problem is, I’ve heard those two words too often lately. The problem is the context and the definition of instant equity.  In my opinion, anyone buying a home that [...]

Although nobody called me for the panel of distinguished guests at the mid-year meeting of the National Association of Realtors today in Washington D.C., I have found out that Shaun Donovan, secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, decreed today that the Federal Housing Administration is going to permit its lenders to [...]

Don’t overlook the homes with just 1 bath–1/2 baths can be squeezed in!

You like the prices of the three bedroom homes in Clintonville and Grandview, Schumacher Place and Harrison West, but you REALLY, REALLY want at least a bath and a half.  And you don’t want the half to be some crazy old basement throne that hasn’t been used in 25 years.
