Six Signs That You're
Ready To Buy
Figuring
out whether you're ready to buy
a house -- whether you're a
renter or are aiming to move up
or size down -- can be a
daunting task. But there are
signs that will indicate whether
you're ready to take the buying
plunge.
If you are thinking about
buying, you're not alone.
David Lereah, NAR's chief
economist, said the housing
market has reached a new
plateau. "Over the last few
years, it's become apparent that
the level of home sales will
generally remain at higher
levels than what was common in
the mid-1990s," he said. "The
fundamental change is a growing
population with a rising number
of households entering the age
in which people typically buy
their first home. In short, we
have the need, desire and
ability for people to buy
homes."

Spruce Up Your Landscaping Before You
Sell
With
home- owners' priorities shifting to
their outdoor living spaces, it's more
important than ever that your
landscaping and backyard areas look
their best when it comes time to sell.
Members of The Hearth, Patio and
Barbecue Association say the growth of
the outdoor living phenomena is the
result of North America's interest in
'cocooning,' the trend toward a more
casual lifestyle, an aging population
and the popularity of porches, decks,
and patios in homes.
And with more outdoor living
spaces come more elaborate and beautiful
landscapes.
Studies have shown that attractive
landscaping can increase the value of a
home.
Two studies, one by Mark S. Henry
of the Department of Agriculture and
Applied Economics at Clemson University
and another by Robert L. Degner of the
Florida Agricultural Market Research
Center, University of Florida, found
that landscaping contributes to higher
resale values in single-family

7-Ways to Make Money On Investment
Properties
The market has cooled in various
cities across the country and fair
weather investors are starting to worry
about how they'll be able to make money
now that their houses aren't escalating
at astronomical rates.
I just have to say to these folks
-- breathe. If all you want to do in
real estate is make money on the basis
of appreciation (asset growth), then you
need a primer on how to make really good
money in real estate.
The authors of Investing In Real
Estate, Andrew McLean and Gary Eldred
(2006, John Wiley & Sons Inc.), have
provided that primer, listing eight ways
to grow your wealth in investment real
estate.
The key to building true wealth in
real estate is through buying and
holding. A good tenant can create wealth
for you by paying for the mortgage,
insurance, taxes and monthly fees
through their rental payment to you. In
addition, consider this: you have just
taken over an asset leveraged by a
fraction of the value. In other words,
let's say you purchased a condo at
$150,000 for $15,000 down payment. If it
grows at 5 percent per year ($7,500
first year, etc.) you're making more
than 50 percent on your money that you
actually invested -- can't get that kind
of power behind mutual funds.

Many
Homeowners Unaware
Of Electrical Hazards
After
depending upon electricity for more than a
century, we tend to take it for granted --
except in those rare instances when nature pulls
the plug temporarily. So much so that at least
25 percent of the nation's estimated 75 million
homeowners are completely unaware of potential
electrical hazards around the house. That is
what a survey commissioned by the Independent
Insurance Agents & Brokers of America recently
uncovered.
What it means is that one-quarter of our
houses are vulnerable to electrical
home-structure fires and other incidents that
can cause significant personal and financial
losses, the association believes. The survey,
conducted by Media, Pa.-based International
Communications Research, found that 18.2 million
