PropertyRecord.com Legit Tips For Buying A Home

PropertyRecord.com understands that buying a home is a stressful time. You are about to make the biggest investment of your life. That's why you came to PropertyRecord.com in the first place. And we are glad to help you with our detailed public records.

But, we'd like to go a bit further and offer you some legit tips to consider when you are ready to enter the real estate market. So here are the PropertyRecord.com Legit Tips To Buying A Home:

• Legit Tip #1: Go to a real estate broker who has an established reputation. New or unseasoned real estate brokers can make mistakes and steer you in the wrong direction.
• Legit Tip #2: Get a pre-approved mortgage from your bank before you go house hunting. This way you'll know how much you can spend, and if you find a good deal you'll be able to make an offer quickly and not get beaten to the punch by another buyer.
• Legit Tip #3: Hire your own home inspector – not one suggested by your real estate agent or the seller.
• Legit Tip #4: Also, hire a contractor to take a look at the home to see if he or she can find any problems your home inspector might have missed.
• Legit Tip #5: Make sure there are no liens on the home. They would become your responsibility at closing.
• Legit Tip #6: Find out if there are any code violations filed against the home – so you'll know if there is anything you'll need to pay to fix.
• Legit Tip # 7: Talk to the neighbors and make sure there aren't any problems with the neighborhood. Better to find out about a resident sex offender now than after you've moved in.

PropertyRecord.com Guide To What To Review Before Choosing A Tenant

Over the past few years, many people have bought real estate as investment property. They've done so because they did a review of the market and realized that prices were low, and they could make a good deal of money renting the homes to people who can't get a mortgage. PropertyRecord.com believes those people showed good judgment and made sound investments.

But we at PropertyRecord.com also know that simply doing a review of the market is not enough to make sure you profit from your investment. You also need to review the people you are going to rent to, and that's why we've created the PropertyRecord.com guide to what to review before you rent out your valuable investment real estate.

Review Point 1 – Contact the person's previous landlord and find out their experience with the person.

Review Point 2 – Do a credit check, and review it carefully to make sure they don't have a ton of debt.

Review Point 3 – Go to the police station and ask if they have any criminal records of the person you can review. You don't want to end up renting to a drug dealer or sex offender.

Review Point 4 – Check their references and make sure they have good things to say about them.

Review Point 5 – Stop in the place they claim to work at, and make sure they really have a job.

Going through these five review points will make it much less likely that you will end up with a bad tenant, and much more likely that you'll make money on your investment.

PropertyRecord.com Guide to Not Breaking The Law When Selling Your Home

Selling your home can be a stressful experience, and PropertyRecord.com understands. Many PropertyRecord.com customers come to us for advice on how to sell their home. What they don't realize is that it's fairly easy to break the law as a home seller, particularly if you don't use a real estate agent. So, PropertyRecord.com wants to give you some advice to help you stay out of legal trouble. We don't want PropertyRecord.com customers to end up in jail!

The easiest way to get in trouble with the law is if you get multiple offers on your property, and all of the offers are roughly in the same price range. You may simply want to sell to the buyer you like the most. But, be careful because the law is very strong on this.

If you accept a lower offer from someone you like and the person who made a higher offer, even if just by a penny, is a member of a protected class, you will have violated federal discrimination laws and you will go to jail.

And the number of protected classes are endless. They include pregnant women; people with children; gays, lesbians and bisexuals, transsexuals; anyone of any race other than your own; unmarried couples; and people of a religion that is different than your own. In other words, if they are not exactly like you and you refuse to sell to them, you could be breaking the law.

The second-most common way to break the law is by not providing to the home buyer all the documents you have related to the home. It doesn't matter if you think the paperwork is for a minor issue; if you don't disclose it and the buyer finds out eventually, you could go to jail for fraud. Don't let that happen to you.

If you can avoid these two very common situations, you should have no legal problems when you sell your home.

PropertyRecord.com Tips on What to Ask a Home Seller

Buying a new home isn't just about looking up public information on PropertyRecord.com. You also have to do your own research. The staff at PropertyRecord.com understands this process, and we have helped people go through it many times.

One of the main things we've noticed that can help PropertyRecord.com customers make the right decision about a home is asking the right questions of the current homeowner. So, we figured we'd share some questions that PropertyRecord.com customers should always ask anyone selling a home.

1.    Why are you selling the home? Ask yourself if their answers make sense, or if they are trying to just escape a money pit.

2.    What is your experience with the local school system? A bad school system lowers property values.

3.    How much do you spend each year to keep the home running? This is very important.

4.    Are you friendly with the neighbors? If they are not, then the neighbors may be huge problems.

5.    When was the last time you renovated the home? If it's been years, there could be problems.

6.    What is the ground water like? You don't want to have to deal with hard water.

7.    When was the last time the insulation was changed? If it was back in the '70s, there may be problems with asbestos.

8.    When was the last time pest control service was brought in? This is so you know if there are bug problems.

9.    Can I see the property inspector report? You want to make sure it's up to code.

10. Are you willing to do any repairs before closing? Make them pay for it – not you.
