Across the nation, that once-feverish housing market has cooled. Investors who’d bought a large percentage of the properties in many locales found they couldn’t flip them for a quick profit, and brought in tenants instead. As a result, close to half of the residents in the some subdivisions are now renters. Developments and condos that once were largely owner-occupied are filling up with renters who some neighbors say are less engaged in their communities and less concerned about maintenance. Fearful of declining property values, some homeowner associations are fighting back — targeting lax landlords and renters with “good neighbor” letters, limiting the number of units that can be rented at any one time, and, in some cases, banning investors from buying altogether. |

| With interest expense and property taxes on the increase, landlords in record numbers are ignoring requests to make repairs to their rental property. One remedy, known as “repair and deduct”, exists as an option for renters. However, it’s a last resort to consider after exhausting all other options. Renters can’t just stop paying the rent and start wielding a hammer. Like all laws, there’s a procedure to follow to avoid getting into hot water and getting scorched by landlord retaliation. Consulting with a legal resource such as an attorney, mediator or tenant organization is vital. |

A loan modification is defined as a change in the loan contract that has been requested by the borrower and subsequently agreed to by the lender and the borrower. In today’s interest sensitive market, the modifications are usually those designed to reduce the payment burden on borrowers faced with impending rate increases. An increase in payment makes the mortgage un-affordable. Most who request the loan mods are subprime borrowers. Homeowners faced with prospect of afford ability should consider requesting a modification. They are unlikely to get one if they don’t ask. The stakes are high, they can save their house and their credit. |

| Prospective investors are now increasingly looking to foreclosure sales for real estate bargains. As with most all investing scenarios, newcomers to this market will sometimes experience unpleasant surprises if they go in without adequate knowledge of the downfalls. All homes should be thoroughly inspected by a professional home inspector before sealing the deal. But, foreclosure homes are usually sold “as-is”. This means that buyers cannot negotiate for the cost of needed repairs, as they may do in a traditional home purchase. If pre-auction property inspections are not permitted at the foreclosure sale, buyers will need to weigh that risk carefully. Even with a significant influx of newly foreclosed properties due to the sub prime mortgage mess, the foreclosure market can be competitive, and it is often dominated by experienced real estate investors. |
