Hilton Head Island, SC ~ Buy land now!

Be the first to comment on this post Categories: Distressed Properties

In case you missed it, vacant home-sites are selling at some very compelling prices on Hilton Head.  I was doing some exploring for a client of mine recently and could not believe the value found in this category of ownership on Hilton Head Island.   Lot prices have been beat up and have been pushed down and timing has never been better to buy land in the Hilton Head Area.  Do you remember Rick Murray’s article on supply and demand “Spotted Bananas”?

Upside down Hilton Head buyer

Be the first to comment on this post Categories: Distressed Properties

We have a guy that likes to buy short sale homes and villas.  Properties that are upside down means you owe more than your property is worth.  This is a cash buyer.  If you need to move fast, or behind in payments, near foreclosure or bankruptcy, you may not have to hope and pray for someone to come along to solve your problem.

This guy is buying upside down homes and villas.

It will cost nothing to sit down and learn the short sale process and see if your property fits his criteria.  You have nothing to lose.  My direct line is (843)842-0805.  If your property is not currently listed, we will meet together with our buyer to see if this meets the type of property he is looking for.  Thank you.



Short Sellers ~ No time to Procrastinate

If you are a seller and you owe more than your house is worth, you may not want to kick the ball down the street until next year.  The debt forgiveness bill that expires in 2012 for permanent residences is something sellers should take a serious look at.  For example, if I purchased a home for $200,000 and then sold it at market value for $100,000, I would not have to pay taxes on what is considered $100,000 in earnings.  After December 2012, this may no longer be available to borrowers!    Read the rest of this entry
