Home buying class – Rent vs Buy Video

[post_video]

This video is a short excerpt from our class, Real Estate Fundamentals: Buying your first home. This particular class was taught in November of 2015.

In this section of the class we discussed how to compare the financial aspects of renting vs buying. If you would like some help finding online calculators and wizards to guide you through this process, See the linked article below.

You can also find the full set of handouts from the Home Buying class by entering Homebuyer 101 in the search box to the right of the menu at the top of this page.

Notes and slides from the May 2014 Buying Foreclosures class in Monroe

We had a great class this past week… Buying Foreclosure and Short Sale Real Estate.  The class was held in Monroe as part of Sky Valley Community Schools.

After our classes, we always like to share the slides and any handouts to our students and friends.  Here are the slides from this class:

As part of the class, we always like to view this great video of a real ‘auction on the courthouse steps’. This auction was in Pierce County:

During class we provide lists of local foreclosed (bank or government owned, AKA REO properties) and short-sales (distressed properties). Instead of the print list, which can get dated quickly, here is a search of foreclosed properties on our website: (Just for fun, we sorted most expensive to least.)

Latest multifamily market report video avaiable from Dupre + Scott

Dupre + Scott, local multifamily market experts have released the latest in their weekly video updates. You can view the video below and read the full article on their site at http://www.duprescott.com/productsservices/articleinfo.cfm?ArticleId=650.  I recommend keeping a close eye on the updates from Dupre + Scott.  They make it sound like things are going to get challenging for apartment owners in a couple of years, as all the units under construction come on line.  But, between now and then, its good to be a landlord.
