The Top 10 Reasons Why Real Estate Investors Need a Property Manager June 03, 2009

The top 10 reasons why real estate investors need a property manager do not come as a surprise to investors who thought that they could "do-it-themselves" correctly without assistance. Investing in real estate can be fun and exciting and very profitable with experience and a great team to assist. However, with most investors that try to cut corners and save as much of the cash flow as possible rather than hiring competent team members to help manage the properties, the real estate investment can be a nightmare. Most investors invest in single family homes as they are easily attainable and the most obvious form of real estate investing. Some investors own as little as one to 20 single family homes. Adding a property manager to the team w [more info...]

Selling a House Via a Short Sale June 01, 2009

Selling a house via a short sale process is much more common now in this market than ever before. Prior to the recession of 2008, most homeowners listed their houses for sale in any given neighborhood, had buyers scheduling appointments to view their houses, and then the buyers made offers comparable to the list prices where the sellers received the price that was listed if not more due to multiple offers on the same house. That is considered a normal real estate market that America is accustomed to dealing with. However, with the bankruptcies of major firms resulting in massive layoffs and closing of doors, our market has seen a mortgage meltdown where credit is hard for banks and companies to extend to consumers making real estate transa [more info...]

Frisco HVAC Contractor warns of homes that are too air tight. May 16, 2009

Frisco HVAC Contractor Steve Lauten, President of Total Air and Heat Co., warns of homes that are too air tight. Proper ventilation is essential to good quality indoor air. We are all too familiar with the pressure to conserve energy, lower our costs, and protect the environment. But often our efforts have the exact opposite effect of what we intend. This is particularly true with the trend of making new homes air tight. The recent wave of air-tight construction has accomplished its goal. We now can effectively keep outside air outside and the air we have heated or cooled inside of the home where it belongs. But wait, as with any good prescription there are side effects that must be considered. Air that had previously been coming a [more info...]

Allen HVAC Contractor warns of potential scams. May 16, 2009

Allen HVAC Contractor Steve Lauten, President of Total Air and Heat Co., warns consumers to beware of potential scams from unlicensed technicians. Let the buyer beware is sage advice but even the most astute shopper can fall victim to a bad purchase, or worse, become the target of a feloneous scam. Typical schemes appeal the the natural desire to save money and start with a statement similar to... "A sweet deal like this does not come around often". When you hear a technician offering you a deal that is too good to be true be sure to keep a close guard on your wallet. While not every good deal is a scam and not every interesting proposal is an invitation to disaster you need to keep a sense of proportion and you should always get [more info...]

Given the above it is hard to think of a more pressing topic than the quality of the air in your home. For each of the last 17 years the EPA has ranked indoor air pollution among the top 5 environmental risks to public health.
