The physical condition of property has the most obvious and visible effect on value. Often, little things that could easily be fixed are left unfixed to the detriment of that property's market value. Both today's price and the rate of equity growth in the future are affected directly by what you see when you look at that house.

Why am I buying out-of-state real estate?
This seems like an obvious question. As a matter of fact, it seems so obvious you might wonder why it’s even worth asking. Why are you looking to purchase your out-of-state real estate? Why are you looking to purchase a retirement home in Florida, or a resort location in Arizona, or a second vacation home in Oregon? The answer to that question will have a lot to do with developing the rest of your strategy in identifying and making your out-of-state purchase.

Most homebuyers depend almost completely on a real estate agent for advice when they decide on a price to offer for a home. Homebuyers working without a real estate agent often make this decision based on limited information and with virtually no analysis. This can result in a purchase price that is thousands of dollars greater than the actual market value of the home and a big problem if there is an unexpected need to sell the home in the first three years or so.

Until relatively recently, the process by which buyers used real estate brokers and agents remained the same for quite a few generations. Real estate companies are paid to provide the service of matching up a buyer with a seller of property. Historically, those folks acted as representatives of the owners of property for sale and owed those owners certain duties and obligations by what is called the law of agency. Not to go into too much detail, let's just say that brokers and agents, which I will just call agents from here on, worked to promote the best interests of their clients, the sellers. This includes getting the buyer to pay the maximum price for the property.

Dear Gary,
I am hoping that in one year I will be buying a home. I have found the area of town I want to live in and found the condo complex that I can both afford and enjoy.
I have bought a home before so I won't qualify for any first time buyers deals. I am embarrassed to say that when I bought my first home, my husband and I were disgustingly naive. I am no longer married and I want to be totally prepared to search and purchase within a few months of my lease expiring. [More]
