Vallejo Real Estate!

Is It A Good Idea To Invest in Vallejo CA ?

According to Zillow , values from February 2012 to February 2013 have gone up 5.6 % in Vallejo   Click here for more info :  Home Values in Vallejo

While all of Solano County is going up, Vallejo is lagging behind most of the County a bit, which has gone up over 8 % in the past year. This could mean that Vallejo is in the right position for you as an investor. Almost like an under valued stock. Click here for more info: Home Values in Solano County 

You might have been out of the real estate loop for a while, but now that you are on line, reading about real estate, it will take you very little time to find out that yes, prices are on the rise.

You already know about tax advantages to owning real estate.  You already know that if you are paying cash, you are probably going to get a better return on your investment than keeping your money in the stock market.

I know very little about other investments, but I just looked up the price of gold and at least as I cut and paste this link, it looks like it is going down.  Tell me if I am wrong, but I believe this means that people are more confident in the economy.

A client of mine keeps complaining about the value of his Apple Stock, wishing he could take his money out and put it into real estate, but his stock is going down and he doesn't know what to do. Price Of Apple Stock Maybe it's time to gather up your cash and make the plunge into real estate.

A clear sign that the prices will probably continue to escalate is that you,  as an investor are competing with  several large companies and hedge  funds that are spending hundreds of millions of dollars all over California, buying up everything they can get their hands on.

I just listed a short sale in Vallejo and we received a dozen offers in a week.
Last week, I listed an older home that has been beautifully renovated by it's owners and it is gorgeous.
This could be the perfect place for you to purchase and rent out and them maybe sell in a few years or keep it in the family forever.

This home is off the radar of many of the big-time investors because it is older.
The business model for many of these organizations that spend millions is to buy newer homes that will need generally little up-keep.

The surprise here is that the sellers just spent tens of thousands of dollars on the heating, plumbing and electrical systems.  So the home could very well be in better shape than one that is half it's age.

Because it's hard to get this information out to thousands of Realtors who simply forward data to their clients automatically, you are in a great position since you are doing the extra research to hunt down the hidden opportunities.

Besides the extensive amount of work done to this house, there is also a great deal of character.
Down in the basement for instance, you will find a bar and what was once a secret room, most likely used as a speak-easy.

A large corporation would never understand the value of this, but maybe you would.
So please contact me today for more information on this or any other property listed for sale in Solano County California.

I would love to help you out.  Also, if you are looking to sell, let's talk about the best way to tap into this crazy market and help you sell for top dollar!

It's time to invest your cash in a depressed area!

You have cash to invest in real estate. You are looking for an area where the rental demand is high and the land value is low.

Solano county California is the place for you.

I just sold a duplex for $70,000.  The new owner will have to put a lot of money into fixing up these units  before renting them out, but he still will make a very nice return on his investment.

If you have cash that is making you no money, contact me today so I can help you put it to good use.

I have been selling real estate in Solano County for 15 years and I know the market.

The demand is high right now, so I do not expect the low prices to last forever.

We just made a cash offer on a home that had 20 other offers. So please contact me today while prices are still very low!

If you know anyone who is looking to invest, please send them my way, I would love to help them!

How hard is it to flip a house?

As you look around for the perfect home to "flip", you will find it getting more and more difficult.  


You are competing against old pro's who know what they are doing, people who have a lot of cash, and newbie's who don't know they are paying too.


If you think you have very little competition, think again. 
at least where I am , Solano county California, there is a lot of competition.


It is not unheard of to have to beat out 15 others in your pursuit of the perfect "flipper." 


Once you find the home to flip, you need to inspect it and make sure you are not getting in over your head.   


I just helped a client purchase a $70,000 duplex.  yes a duplex as in 2 units.  The same client purchased a four-plex a month ago for $195,000.  


Multi-units might be the way to go as everyone and their brother and their brother's sister is looking for a single family dwelling to flip.  


Please let me know if there is any way I can assist you in your quest for the perfect "flip" and good luck! 

   

Have you ever thought of investing in a group home?

Are you happy with the income you are making from your rentals? Or would you like more?


My client has 5 + group homes. He helps people who have had troubled lives and gets them back on their feet. 
He runs a successful operation that is a great benefit to the community.


The negative is that my client does not own any of these homes. 


While he collects high rents and makes a profit, he would rather own the homes.
Due to the economy being what it is, his credit is not at the point where he can buy at this time.


This is where you come in.  You have great credit or maybe you have cash.
You can purchase homes for him to run and you can be partners or you can lease-option to him. 


I am listing for sale the perfect home for this situation.


Please contact me today and I will give you more details as there are a lot of possibilities. 


Thanks.  

International Film Fest in Vacaville

Do you know a filmmaker who needs more exposure?

Well, we have just the thing for anyone who is looking to get noticed in the world of film-making. 

Several years ago I wanted to showcase my film-making ability but got tired of being rejected by film festivals.

So I got together with a couple of other filmmakers and we started the ...

Vacaville International Film Festival  

At first we had around 100 attendees, then in 2010 we had 130 , last year we had close over 270 in attendance. 

For two years in a row, we simply set things up at he last minute and made things up as we went along.

In 2011 , we put a small committee together to make it more professional. 

We were not prepared to double the size of our audience and we made a lot of mistakes.

This year, we are starting early and we have a  great committee who are organizing the event so that we will be bigger, better and will have more fun than ever before. 

Last year we had some incredible sponsors, please take a look at some of the people who made the event possible. 

Please contact me today for more information on how you can spend a little and get a lot of exposure.


Filmmakers, submit today! 
If you have created a 1 minute to 30 minute movie, trailer,  animation or music video, we would love to see it. Please submit today.  Here is the link! 
We have several categories so I am sure you will fit in somewhere!
Contact me with any questions
Thanks.
