Investment Property

Many people often ask us if investing in rental property is a wise investment. For long term investment purposes real estate has long been a wise financial investment strategy for many people. Unfortunately the economy over the last 2 years has had a tremendous effect on folks and many of the effects are negative resulting in a record number of foreclosures and short sales. As a result of this misfortune there are a number of real estate opportunities that make purchasing a second home or an investment property doable when once before many people could not have afforded such an investment. This is a personal decision and one that folks have to give careful thought and consideration to before taking the plunge. We ourselves recently purchased a condo in Myrtle Beach that we are going to fix up and put into a resort rental program. Our hope of course is that the condo will be rented for several weeks throughout the year especially the summer and hopefully will prove to be a wise investment. Before making the decision to purchase the condo we did the research and considered several options including the pros and cons of investing in rental property at the beach verses purchasing property in the town where we live. Again, the options were very viable, but with the deal we were able to negotiate at the beach it is the route we ultimately decided to invest in. Our hope and goal is to have a successful investment and hopefully in the next several years possibly purchase another investment property. Today the rates are at an all time low and with the assistantance th of real estate professionals there are a number of tremendous deals on the market, but consumers must be well informed and in some cases ready to act quickly. We would love to help all our clients and friends achieve their real estate dreams and it would be our pleasure to help you so give us a call today and let us be your partner in helping all your real estate goals be met.

Fort Mill , South Carolina

Since 1986 Gina has called York County home and if there is one area that has made a complete transformation, but retained the hometown feel it is Fort Mill, South Carolina . In the beginning Fort Mill was well known as the home of a textile empire, Springs Industries. One of the original manufacturing plants burned in the early 1980s and that space, which is near downtown, has been converted into a wonderful community park known as the Walter Elisha Park. The park is located near the quaint downtown area that still boasts many unique shops great for spending a leisurely Saturday afternoon. Fort Mill has grown tremendously with residential developments such as Baxter, a new Lowe's store, an unbelieveable Wal-Mart and lots of niche shopping centers and restaurants unique to the Fort Mill area. Locals will tell you to be sure and check out the Peach Stand which offers a great selection of produce, famous Fort Mill peaches, an incredible butcher shop and much more. Fort Mill is growing, however, it maintains the quaintness of long ago. Fort Mill is conveniently located right off of I-77 and is just minutes from Charlotte, NC.

"WOW"

Have we got a place that you have to check out. Not even sure how to describe it, but when you go make sure you have your walking shoes on. In Fort Lawn, SC just 30 minutes from Charlotte, NC and 20 minutes from Rock Hill, SC you will find "WOW". Two of the previous manufacturing facilities owned and operated by Springs Industries are now home to a furniture and rug superstore in one plant and home accessories in the other plant. In the old Elliott Plant you will find items such as lamps, dishes, Christmas ornaments, candles, outdoor furniture, odd and end pieces, mirrors, home decor and so much more. In what use to be the Frances Plant you will find furniture, rugs, mattresses and deals that are truly unbelievable. We kept hearing about WOW and there is no way to describe it other than "wow". Make the drive to Fort Lawn and check out both of these locations. They are open 7 days a week and it is so worth the drive.

Know the market value of your home

In today's economy it is important to know the market value of your home and this is a question we get almost every week.

Is refinancing for you?

With the interest rates of late being so low we had been discussing refinancing our home. After doing some checking and getting various quotes on interest rates we decided this was something we needed to explore. After finding one of the lowest rates around we worked with a lender to get a good faith estimate and much to our surprise we decided that refinancing would save us a tremendous amount of money each month and over the course of the loan. Refinancing may not be an option for everyone, but it certainly is something that everyone should consider. There are a lot of first time home buyers feverishly trying to take advantage of the $8000 tax credit that will soon end so we are seeing financial institutions offering some awesome rates to another group of folks who are looking to refinance. Even if you refinanced just 2 years ago a couple of phone calls may be worth several hundreds of dollars in savings per month. You have nothing to lose and so much to gain so check it out today and see if refinancing is right for you!
