Half-Built Homes Can Be Bargains

Half-Built Homes Can Be Bargains

RISMEDIA, January 14, 2010—(MCT)—First came foreclosures, then short sales. Now we are seeing more half-finished homes for sale: bare-stud, bare-yard houses abandoned by their builders and left to languish on the market.

Unfinished homes bank owned

Purchasing a partially-built home is nothing new; during the housing boom, many new-home contracts were signed before even a slab had been poured. The difference now is that the builder might no longer be around to finish the job, particularly if it’s a house started by a custom builder who subsequently lost clients, financing, or its entire business.

Unfinished homes auctions

Nationally, the percentage of incomplete houses among new homes listed for sale rose this year from 39% in January to 43% as of October, according to the U.S. census. Though those numbers included homes under contract and still under construction, they also included unfinished homes abandoned by builders and placed on the market by banks.

Myrtle Beach Foreclosures and the Secrets for Buying

Most experts predict that the United States will see a record number of foreclosures through 2010. By 2011, experts predict that the foreclosure rate will level off and perhaps begin to decrease. So what does this mean to you? It means that 2010 is the perfect year to buy or invest in a foreclosure home or condo at well below market price. You can find properties for 40% to 50% off, or even more below market value if you know where and what to look for. If you are looking for a foreclosure property for personal use or as a rental unit, you may want to consider waterfront properties.  This type of property usually appreciates the fastest and is more desirable than other types of property. One area that has strong vacation value and is currently under market is Myrtle Beach SC.  In Myrtle Beach there are many properties that meet and exceed waterfront and are way under value.  Now is the time to buy.

 Myrtle Beach Foreclosure Listings

 First, you have to understand the process of foreclosure. A foreclosure is a legal process whereby a creditor repossesses collateral for a loan that’s in default. In most cases, that means the bank or mortgage lender repossesses a house so that they can resell it to satisfy the debt. This amount tends to be below market value, which is why you have the opportunity to get a good deal. However, the property is usually sold "as is". To start you have to find a listing of these foreclosures, or REO (Real Estate Owned) properties. If you work with an expert real estate agent experienced in foreclosure sales, he or she will help you find the right property for you. The expert will save you a lot time and aggravation and will also give you the secrets and the tips to invest like a pro.  Don’t assume you can work with just any real estate agent. You want to find an agent who has experience with these types of sales and who demonstrated the ability to get short sales, foreclosure, and REO sales closed. Remember to do your research and be choosy about whom you work with.

 Myrtle Beach Foreclosure Houses

You also need to know that foreclosure properties are usually sold as-is. This means you may encounter plenty of unpleasant surprises, such as a home that requires some repairs. It’s important that you personally inspect the property and weigh your options. Also, it’s a good idea if you hire a property inspector to have your mind at ease. If you don’t know any property inspector, the Real Estate Expert you’re working with can inform you of the right one to choose. Your next step is to check out the neighborhood that the property is in. You can start by simply driving around the neighborhood at different times of the day. Take note of the other properties in the area, the general condition of the area and upside potential for appreciation.  When you are working with the right real estate agent, he or she has already done this for you.

If you do need a lender to finance your loan, then it's a good idea to get pre-approval. Unless you plan to pay in cash, you will need a recent preapproval letter from a lender when you put any offers in with a bank. Getting pre-approved for a home mortgage loan is the first step to getting the actual loan. When you get pre-approved for a mortgage loan, you are finding out how much money a particular lender is willing to lend you. With good credit, many banks will provide a loan with competitive interest rates.  If the home is to be used as a rental, many banks may require a little more with a down payment.

How to Make a Fortune from the Biggest Bailout in U.S. History

How to Make a Fortune from the Biggest Bailout in U.S. History

I want to ask you a few simple questions:

Do you believe the economy will be materially worse or materially better, in the next five, ten, or fifteen years, than it is today?

If you said “Materially worse”—and remember that this is about as bad as it gets—I would move to Montana, buy heavy arms, and stock a multiyear supply of canned goods, because we’ll be back living in caves before long!

But if you said “Better,” which is the correct answer, then, my next question is, “What are you prepared to do about it?”

Are you going to sit back and wait to see proof that the worst part of this recession is over before taking the urgent and necessary steps to improve your financial future?

Or, like the savvy professionals I know, are you willing to use any spare cash you have, or redirect your current investment dollars, to take advantage of some of the greatest investment opportunities you’ll see in this lifetime?

In the last few years we have seen the stocks crashing down along with the real estate market. Tons of homeowners did not have another chose than to go in foreclosure. Six million Americans, or about 9.4 percent of the working population, are without jobs, and more than 16 percent are either underemployed or have removed themselves from the workforce altogether. All the bad things that could have happened, have happened. That just means that the next move, over the next few years is up not down. Just how it happened in the past all recessions do come to an end. At the bottom of this recessions, because truly things cannot get any worse, are the single best values you can find in every asset class affected by the downturn of the economy. So the big question is… Are you willing to use any spare cash you have to take advantage of some of the greatest investment opportunities you will ever see in this lifetime? Today you have the opportunity to buy a great property anywhere from twenty-five to fifty cents on the dollar. Depending on the locations the prices are as low as 1998 prices. Housing prices, measured by the most widely used barometer, the Case-Shiller Index, are down 25 percent on average across the country. The U.S. government has launched the biggest bailout effort in economic history. The Worker, Homeownership, and Business Assistance Act of 2009 has extended the tax credit of up to $8,000 for qualified first-time home buyers purchasing a principal residence. It also authorized a tax credit of up to $6,500 for qualified repeat home buyers. The tax credit now applies to sales occurring on or after January 1, 2009 and on or before April 30, 2010. However, in cases where a binding sales contract is signed by April 30, 2010, a home purchase completed by June 30, 2010 will qualify. The U.S. Treasury is extending a helping hand through many governments to aid those who are least fortunate and who face foreclosure, homelessness, or bankruptcy. The Federal Reserve is taking heroic steps to fix our beaten down and financial system, issuing a solemn public promise not to let our nation’s biggest banks go bust and take the economy down with them. The Fed has spent untold trillions of dollars to prop up institutions, markets, and the economy as a whole, keeping this Great Recession from becoming another Great Depression. Banks, particularly community banks, are starting to lend a helping hand, although at this juncture the big ones are doing so a bit grudgingly. And the financial markets, too, are beginning to cooperate. In recent months, they have recovered at least some of the $10 trillion lost in the last two years. .This means you have the chance of retaking control of your financial future and take advantage of the bargains that the biggest bust in our history has created.

Carolina Forest Real Estate in Myrtle Beach

Carolina Forest Real Estate in Myrtle Beach

        Until the 1990s, the Carolina Forest area was the home of bears, snakes, deer, Venus flytraps and Carolina Bays and waterway. Carolina Forest was created out of necessity in the 1990s. As people continued to move into the Myrtle Beach area, there was a lack of homes available. Carolina Forest was built as an area in which people would live but would travel outside of the area to go to work. Still Carolina Forest remains a community where hundreds of acres of parks crisscrossed with hiking trails and the preservation of the environment. Carolina Forest still continues to grow each year as retirees move down from the north and more families take advantage in living in this community. Carolina Forest community motto is “Family Friendly.”

Along the lake you will find a marina with boat slips which may be rented on an annual basis, a boat-launching facility, and temporary parking for boats while you rest during a good day of fishing or water skiing. Nature trails, playgrounds, and picnic areas provide opportunities for association members to enjoy the natural beauty of the area.

2010 real estate outlook for Myrtle Beach SC

2010 real estate outlook for Myrtle Beach SC

 Myrtle Beach Condos For Sale

1. Right Now, It’s a great time to buy Myrtle Beach Real Estate, Condos and Houses. The housing market will dip in mid-2010 before settling into a recovery in the second half of the year. Condos will maintain momentum, especially Myrtle Beach Oceanfront condos that generate rental income.

 
 

With the end of government programs that have been artificially buoying residential housing (home buyer tax credit and Fed's Fannie Freddie mortgage purchase program) will result in a slowdown in demand right at the height of the spring season.  Second homes and vacation rental properties will continue to sell strongly as they are more affordable than they have been in over a decade.  Rising foreclosures will also push more homes onto the market putting additional downward pressure on home prices, but condos will still be what people are searching for.

Foreclosures Myrtle Beach

2. Foreclosures will continue and inventory will be a lot higher than some predict.

Inventory is not just homes that are on the market but also include, properties the banks are holding on to or are in the foreclosure process. With the pricing slide, some borrowers have stopped making payments and aren’t willing to put good money after bad so they will be just walking away.

myrtle beach oceanfront condo foreclosures

3.  No more historic low interest rates.

Unless the government decides to do something else to grease the credit markets, mortgage rates will rise steadily, probably leveling off somewhere around 6%  to 6.5 %.

Myrtle Beach Golf Condos For Sale

4.  Commercial real estate will continue to slide with low vacancy and defaults.

The biggest problem in commercial real estate is credit.  As the commercial debt comes up for refinance, there aren’t that many takers.

Myrtle Beach Search Listings MLS System

5. The Vacation Rental Properties will continue to show great value.

When it comes to vacation destinations, Myrtle Beach ranks higher on a scale than locations in Hawaii and the Virgin Islands. Myrtle Beach is one of the most popular beach vacation spots today. Myrtle Beach is located in the center of a 60-mile oceanfront area known as the Grand Strand. Myrtle Beach, South Carolina has become one of the most popular vacation destinations on the East Coast of the United States. Second-home owners are welcomed by year-round residents with gracious southern hospitality. First in Service - it’s clear Myrtle Beach puts people first. This above all else encourages more folks to buy their vacation home, or relocate here. Of course many vacationers come back year after year.

When rental income is factored in, Myrtle Beach oceanfront condos, and vacation rental type properties will have strong long term value at the current pricing.  Want an investment with dividends like family fun, rest and relaxation? There is no better time than now! These buyers are using rental income to help pay for their place on the beach. And the priceless part is, when it is time for their vacations . . . they have their own place at the beach!
