How to Handle an Un-Motivated Seller in this Market

Believe it or not, there are a lot of sellers out there that reality
has yet to hit.

House prices are still high in many areas; but time and an increased
need or perceived need will soften the beach head.

In the meantime though, it can make buying or making offers frustrating.

There are two ways you can handle sellers like this:

1) wait for time and circumstances to change their mind or their
lives; or,

2) go on to the next seller.

If you choose #2, be sure to go back on occasion and check in on the
seller you skipped.

Because, when time and circumstances change, you want to be there for
them.

Success Magazine Article

Check out page 86 and 87 in this month's issue of Success magazine. It's the one with Donny Deutsch on the cover (The Next Big Idea guy).

Great and short article on Real Estate Investing right now - plus, there's a tie in with the last post I made on depreciation.

Is there really a better investment than real estate?

Yes. There is. But, the answer may surprise you.

I'll reveal it in my next post. One you WON'T want to miss.

Depreciation - How to use if to your almost unfair advantage

The last couple of posts I've written, I've talked about depreciation some.

You know what BAD depreciation is (see last two posts). 

So what is GOOD depreciation?

Answer: The kind that is associated with Real Estate Investments!

OK, so smarty, here's the real definition for Depreciation associated with real estate investments...

Checking my handy-dandy Barron's Real Estate Guide, here's what if says:

"Realty that is subject to deductions for depreciation. Depreciation here, is allocating the cost of an asset over its useful life."

What that means is that every year, you get to DEPRECIATE your property and take a DEDUCTION OFF YOUR TAXES for this depreciation.

How cool is that?

I'll tell you...but you have to wait for the next BLOG post. But, trust me, you'll like it even more, and then, all this depreciation stuff will tie in together.

Oh, BTW, if you've bought a new car in the last 2 weeks AND have been a  reader of my Blog, SHAME ON YOU!
