Short Sale Schemes
This real estate scheme usually happens when the borrower owes more on the property than the current value. The borrower then pretends they have a financial hardship and can not make any more payments. Someone, an accomplice, who is working with the borrower submits a low offer to buy the property. The lender agrees with the short sale not knowing that it was all a set-up. The property is usually resold immediately for the actual value for a profit. If you suspect real estate fraud you can make a report with stopfraud.gov.

How to Vet a Builder
For anyone thinking about hiring a builder for custom work, here are some points to consider:
- Hire a good real estate attorney who has experience with new-construction contracts, knows state law, and is familiar with the issues unique to the area in which the property will be built.
- Talk to other customers. Ask how satisfied they are with the builder and how his projects have held up over time.
- Investigate. Search the builder’s name and company online and make sure that there aren’t lots of complaints about him.
- Expect him to negotiate. In this market, a potential customer should be able to expect that a builder will be flexible.

5 Reasons Homeownership Trumps Renting
Virginia Square is on the Orange Line
The seemingly endless run of bad housing news is discouraging some potential home buyers from considering a purchase. But the truth is that the advantages of homeownership have very little to do with investment gains. The best things about owning a home have a lot more to do with personal comfort and satisfaction.
Here are five of them:
- Be your own landlord. The bank can only kick you out if you don’t pay; a landlord can be much less dependable – deciding to sell the property or choosing to live there themselves.
- Paying the principal is forced savings. Yes, it’s possible that home prices will fall further. It is also possible that your 401(k) will lose value. But over the long haul, both are likely to enjoy modest gains in value.
- Fixed-rate mortgages never rise – and eventually you pay them off. With mortgage rates at record lows, people who buy now are locking in real bargains.
- Good schools. Family-sized rentals are harder to come by in areas with excellent public schools.
- Spacious properties in pleasant neighborhoods. Sizable homes in attractive communities are almost always owned – not rented.
