Goose Creek & Hanahan, SC Real Estate Buying Tip for the Week of Jan. 4, 2009

Wed, 07 Jan 2009 15:30:30 GMT

Buy a home when mortgage interest rates are low.

A low interest rates can mean more home for the money and lower monthly mortgage payments.

Reason 1: More Home For The Money:

For example, your monthly mortgage payment, excluding insurance and property taxes, with the current average interest rate of 5% would be:

$100,000 - $536.82
$150,000 - $805.23
$200,000 - $1073.64
$250,000 - $1342.05
$300,000 - $1610.4

Depending on the current rental market, this gives you a good idea how much it will cost you for a new home.

Reason 2: Lower Monthly Payment:

For example on a 30 yr. fixed mortgage with a loan balance of $100,000, here is what the monthly mortgage payment, excluding including insurance and property taxes, would be:

7.0% - $665.30
6.5% - $632.07
6.0% - $599.55
5.5% - $567.79
5.0% - $536.82

There are truly savings when you look at the average savings $60 per month when the interest rate is lowered from 6 to 5% may not seem like much savings, but over a year that is $720.

Note: The current interest rates are artificially low due to government intervention. There is no better time than now to take advantage of these historically low rates.

Miami Bulk Buyer Refinances Recent Condo Acquisition

Wed, 07 Jan 2009 15:13:36 GMT

An all-cash, bulk buyer that paid $36 million for nearly 150 units in a new Downtown Miami condominium tower last summer has just secured a $21 million mortgage on the remaining high-rise residences that haven’t been resold, according to the Wall Street Journal.

An opportunity fund established by Miami developer Jorge Perez’s Related Group and Philadelphia private equity group Lubert-Adler Partners LP purchased 146 units in 50 Biscayne condominium tower in July for $246 per square foot, or $36.4 million.

Shortly after closing, the Related/Lubert-Adler opportunity fund resold 10 units in the bayfront high-rise to individuals for $3.6 million, or $367 per square foot.

The retail sales cleared the way for Prudential Insurance Co. of America to provide $20.9 million in financing on the remaining 136 units at a price of $151 per square foot.

“Both the borrower and the lender look to win on this deal,” said Peter Zalewski, a principal with the Bal Harbour, Fla.-based consultancy Condo Vultures® LLC. “The borrower has been able to somehow obtain financing on unsold condos in a market where there is virtually no liquidity at this time. The lender has been able to finance an attractive new tower where the replacement costs far exceed the loan amount.”

Medical Technology Company Achieves Breakthough In Organ Preservation and Transportation

Tue, 06 Jan 2009 23:29:43 GMT

The days when human organs used for transplants are stored in plastic bags and placed in Styrofoam containers are numbered. Organ Transport Systems, Inc (OTS) developed a human organ preservation technology that will dramatically improve the quality and increase the availability of vital organs.

Called Life Cradle™, it will drastically elevate a US$ 9 Billion dollar industry by improving the preservation and transportation of human organs by 80% of current US statistics. More so, the cost of Life Cradle ™ is just around 25% of current competing technologies.

As of the present, organs can only be stored up to 4 hours before transplant of which only 35% of organs procured are actually used. OTS Chairman and CEO, Michael B. Holder, stated that post-procurement life of organs can be extended up to 4 times longer with Life Cradle™. Prolonging the storage of organs will dramatically increase the number of lives that can be saved.

The Oxford Group of Unilion Development Group (UDG), a private equity firm, led by Jerome Gentolia, is in talks with OTS to finance the project. Mr. Gentolia, whose wife is a heart transplant coordinator at Montefiore Medical Center, got interested in the project because of his familiarity with the industry and the personalities behind OTS.

According to Gentolia, “Life Cradle™ is a perfect example of what UDG looks for in a project; a focused company, innovative technology and a direct benefit to people around the world…”

The OTS roster boasts of the top men in their respective field. Michael B. Holder, prior to his role in OTS, ran the Technology Solutions business for Premier, Inc, an $18 Billion healthcare company.

The OTS Board of Directors consists of:

· Tommy G. Thompson, former Secretary of Health and Human Services;

· Gene A. Pierce, founder of United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) and the South East Organ Procurement Foundation;

· Marvin J. Slepian MD, Director of Interventional Cardiology and the Director of the Tissue Engineering Laboratory at the University of Arizona Sarver Heart Center

OTS is founded by Hyman P. White, whose international experience includes the complete development of master health care plans for both Malaysia and Indonesia. He currently serves as Executive Vice President of OTS.

Jerome Gentolia is the Chief Operating Officer of Unilion Oxford Group and also the Senior Vice President of Unilion Development Group, a private equity firm. He can be reached at jgentolia@uhl-unilion.com

Lender Seizes West Palm Beach Condo, Seeks Bulk Sale

Tue, 06 Jan 2009 17:08:12 GMT

The lender of the Whitney condominium in West Palm Beach has taken back the remaining unsold units in the recently constructed nine-story residential tower, according to the South Florida Business Journal.

New York-based iStar Financial has taken back 140 unsold units from the Miami developer Evernia Properties, which still owes $43.9 million of a $52.5 million construction loan taken out in 2004. The remaining debt works out to about $314,000 per unit repossessed, according to the story.

Fremont Investment and Loan was the original lender on the Whitney, but subsequently sold the condo construction loan as part of a portfolio sale to iStar.

A foreclosure action was filed by iStar before the developer decided in December 2008 to hand over the remaining units by agreeing to a deed in lieu of foreclosure, according to the story

Located at 410 Evernia Street, the Whitney condominium had strong presales during the condo boom of 2004-05 but was only able to close 70 units, or about one-third of the total inventory, when the tower was completed in 2007, according to the story.

The lender is now actively looking to unload the remaining units to a single buyer in a bulk sale, according to the story.

Hawaii Kai Real Estate Market Report for 2008

Mon, 05 Jan 2009 04:01:10 GMT

The number of sales dropped dramatically in 2008 from 2007, for all types of condos in Hawaii Kai: to 195 from 245, a decrease of 20.4%. Median sales price for 2008 was $539,000 vs. $545,000 in 2007, a slight decrease of 1.1%. Generally, prices in all categories - condo apartment homes, townhomes, and marinafront units - are holding close to the previous year. There were, as on the mainland, fewer buyers and fewer closings.

For December, new listing activity over last year, saw 19 homes from 16, and up in median price to $599,000 from $544,500 in Dec. 2007. This seems overly optimistic in view of the median price for all of 2008. December inventory was up 67.1% over last year, and 93.4% of those were fee simple units.

Because Hawaii Kai has such a variety of styles, size, amenities, prices, views - just about every parameter can be found here - generalizations can be misleading. For instance, sales in the condo apartment buildings in 2008 decreased in number to 81 from 123. But sales in marinafront homes and even most townhome complexes were down, but not as sharply. The newer developments - built since 2000 - had the most activity.

Visit the condo page on my web site for specifics on buildings and to request market reports on each category. And check back here in a few days for a posting of sales by individual buildings for 2008.

Contact me with questions on any complex in Hawaii Kai. There are still great buying opportunities with the low low rates and the $7,500 Buyer Tax Credit.

Saving Money on Your Master Condo Insurance Policy

Fri, 02 Jan 2009 15:10:42 GMT

    My last two blog post concentrated on getting quotes for condo unit owners insurance complaint with the new Florida House Bill 601. I received a great response from Florida Condo owners and from condo association presidents and Florida Condo Association Directors and Officers, that I thought I should write a little bit about Master Condo Policies.

    Our agency, Wilson, Washburn & Forster Insurance is primarily a commercial insurance agency. Only about 20% of what we do is dealing with individual unit owners and homeowners. The other 80% of our business is dealing with commercial clientele including Condo Associations. We work with many different types of condos from your smaller 6 unit associations to the large associations with hundreds of owners.

    The key with saving money on your Mast Condo Insurance policy is working with selecting the agents you are going to quote with early, and allowing them to do their job. Each member of the board does not need to go out and find 5 agents each. If you select two or three agents at most to work on your insurance, you will actually get a better result. These few agents will be able to go to all of the viable insurance markets with a legitimate hope of actually winning your business. If I think there are more than 2 other agents working on a condo, I won't even try to fill out the application. But, if I think I have a legitimate shot of getting the business, I will drop everything else I'm doing, and pressure my underwriters to come in lower than they had planned to.

    My underwriters are the same way. They do not want to waste time quoting something that isn't going to result in business. But, if I can tell them, "look you are one of 5 companies quoting, you can really get this if you can come in 40% lower, they will do everything within their power to come in 45% lower.

    Besides price there are other considerations. Number one should be the quality of the company. Do you want to spend 12 months after a claim waiting for payment, only to have to give 20% to a public adjuster? Number two, you need an agent that understands what he is doing. Are you covered for mechanical breakdown for your air conditioners? Are there any lapses in your directors and officers liability insurance? Do you have contingent workers compensation insurance for the repair people that work there that may or may not have their own coverage? Are there any exclusions for things like assault and battery on your general liability insurance? These are all things to be sure you know before you sign your Master Condo policy insurance renewal.

    If you have any questions please call me, Andrew Cohn at 305-666-6636 x 132 or email alcohn@wwfins.com

Does the entity have the authority to foreclose?

Thu, 01 Jan 2009 19:05:05 GMT

Greetings condolleagues, did you know that many foreclosures are brought to court by entities of investors and not by mortgage lenders or banks? Whether these entities have the authority to foreclose often remains to be seen.

At times, investors buy shares of mortgages better known as securitized trusts. Often when the loans are transferred from the loan originators into the trust, the transactions are erred and\or lacking legal documentation; thus, creating instances where there is no evidence that the trust owns the loan. Based on the legal defense, now known as “Who Owns the Loan?”, many judges have dismissed and\or delayed foreclosures because a trust could not present that it had legal standing – in other words – couldn’t prove they legally “owned the loan”.

In our struggles against foreclosures, this gives the home owners some leverage but, we must understand that in many cases foreclosures is indeed money making opportunities for the loan servicer and others.

Knowing that exotic mortgages like those with adjustable rates and early payment penalty clauses are still being offered, I believe it is my duty as a Realtor to advice those that placed their trust in me and to ensure they understand the meaning of such products.

For more information on how to avoid foreclosure in Jacksonville, Florida contact the Jacksonville Area Legal Aid (JALA) or me.

Selling for Concrete Cleaning Companies

Tue, 30 Dec 2008 06:51:25 GMT

By: Lance Winslow

If you own a concrete cleaning company that services the real estate industry and high-end Condo sub-sector then you know it is important to do sales. The most important thing when doing selling for a concrete company is to go out and look at the properties that the property management company or corporation gave you on a list.

When walking the property you need to make sure that there are ways that you can do the services efficiently and cut your costs in order to lower the cost to the customer and win the bid against the competition. But more importantly it is important that you know certain things on all the properties and explain to the property management company that you will be able to clean those areas and that they should not be a problem.

It is also important to stop in at a few of the companies that lease property from the property management company and ask them what kind of problems they are experiencing and what kind of things they would like cleaned on the property. A property management company is interested in making sure that you can keep their renters happy.

When selling concrete cleaning services to corporations and property management companies these companies need to make sure that you will not cause a slip and fall incident and that you have the proper reliability insurance requirements in case something happens. They also want to make sure that you will not make noise or do pressure washing during company hours and disturb their clients and renters. Please consider all this in 2008.

3 Big Reasons to Buy in Goose Creek & Hanahan, SC

Mon, 29 Dec 2008 20:24:25 GMT

1.) Low Mortgage Interests Rates

If you can qualify and purchase a home with 30 or 15 year fixed mortgage with one of today's low interest rates, you could literally save thousands of dollars over the life of the mortgage.

2.) Rents are rising

Due to the mortgage and credit crisis, unfortunately a lot of previous homeowners are becoming renters again. This causing a demand for rentals and is causing the rents to go up. For some it will make sense to buy a home, because it will cost less than renting.

3.) Lots of homes for sale

There is currently lots of homes on the market, which means there is a lot to choose from. As a result home sellers are having to reduce their listing prices and are willing to offer incentives.

These 3 reasons alone, could make this the best buyer's market ever. If you would like to take advantage of this market contact me and let's explore the possibilities.

Getting a Quote for Condo Insurance Compliant with the New Florida Condo Law

Mon, 29 Dec 2008 14:57:59 GMT

Ever since I posted my last BLOG about House Bill 601 regarding the changes to Florida Statutes regarding Condominiums, specifically the statutes regarding the condo unit owner's insurance requirements, I have recieved a lot of feedback. Effective January 1st, 2009, in accordance with the Florida legislature, Condo-unit owners need to purchase a Homeowners Form 6 Insurance policy, which covers the dwelling for physical damage due to covered perils, and liability for the unit owner and their family. Also, they need have coverage of at least $2,000 for loss assessments.

In order to get a quote that will be compliant with House Bill 601's condo insurance requirements please email the following information to me, Andrew Cohn, at alcohn@wwfins.com or call, 305-666-6636 ext. 132.

Phone Number
Unit's Street Address, Unit Number, City, and Zip Code
Association's Name
Unit owner's occupation
Square Feet of Unit
Number of Floors in the Building

Advertising a Concrete Cleaning Business

Sun, 28 Dec 2008 06:58:26 GMT

By: Lance Winslow

If you are in a concrete cleaning business using a pressure washer or steam cleaner perhaps you have considered how you can get new clientele through advertising. It is a difficult business to advertise because you deal with business customers and direct mail generally does not work too well.

However if you can get a list of the facilities maintenance people for all the properties in your community you may find yourself with a list of perfect people to mail to. Where can you get such a list? Well, you can get such a list from the county tax assessor of all the business properties. You might also get a list from a local industry guide. It is not easy to get a hold of all the facilities maintenance people and the property management companies to create a mailing list. But once you have that list it is as good as gold for your concrete cleaning business.

There are some ways to advertise a concrete cleaning business and one way that I recommend is to put a flyer insert in the Chamber of Commerce monthly newsletter. It should be a half sheet of paper and a unique color and your phone number should be in bold on the top and under that it should read please call for estimates. Think on this.

Pressure Washer Concrete Cleaning Equipment - By Lance Winslow

Fri, 26 Dec 2008 08:31:01 GMT

By: Lance Winslow

Cleaning concrete is tough and there is an easy way and a hard way. There is one thing you need to understand when you are pressure washer cleaning concrete; the concrete cannot always be made to look brand new again after it has been stained.

You can always get stains lighter or bleached but completely removing it is very difficult, sometimes you get lucky, but if you are looking for perfection, chances are you will be underwhelmed. So when talking to customers let them know up front and explain this to them otherwise they will be asking for a job that just can't be done unless the entire concrete slab is ripped up and re-poured.

Let’s talk about equipment that is needed for this type of work. Remember safety is always important when working with a pressure washer. Some times there are chemicals involved in cleaning some stains. Thus, you should always use some type of eye protection.

Also, when you are using chemicals you need to wear jeans to protect your legs. Chemicals made for concrete are very strong and should not be toyed with. Would a person rather work with dry feet or wet? It is recommended that you get rubber waders or some type of rubber boot. They will keep your feet from getting wet and keep them from getting burned by the 250 degree water.

Orange cones are also important to have for this job. These help make people visually aware that you are there if you are in a high traffic area or where there are a lot of contract workers at say a newly constructed house that needs the concrete cleaned. This makes everyone around you safe and you are helping prevent accidents.

Of course you are going to need a Hydro-Twister for this job. You can technically do the job with a wand but it will take a lot more time and water, not to mention you can cause streaking if you are not using even strokes across the slab of concrete. Most of the new hot water pressure washers have an option of a hydro twister type unit but if you don't have one and or you need a second unit we recommend that you go to buy one.

When buying a hydro twister buy the larger of the two. There my be only a 5 inch difference in surface coverage but it is well worth it when you are trying to save time without cutting corners. Especially if you are cleaning concrete at a construction site or a large retail type box store, there is a lot of concrete and the faster you clean it the more money you will make. Think about it.

South Florida Home Sales Jump 17% As Prices Tumble

Thu, 25 Dec 2008 18:36:42 GMT

Sales of South Florida condominium units and single-family houses jumped on a year-over-year basis by nearly 17 percent in the month of November as buyers picked off bank-owned properties, foreclosures, and deeply discounted residences.

Buyers closed on 1,623 condos and houses in Miami-Dade and Broward counties in November 2008 compared to 1,391 transactions in November 2007, according to the Florida Association of Realtors.

In Miami-Dade, there were 674 sales in November of this year compared to 560 transactions in 2007 for an increase of more than 20 percent. In Broward, there were 949 transactions recorded in November 2008 for a 14 percent increase compared to the 831 transactions a year earlier, according to the data.

“We have been predicting for some time that the number of South Florida residential transactions in November would surprise most people,” said Peter Zalewski, a principal with the Bal Harbour, Fla.-based consultancy Condo Vultures® LLC. “The early indications are that the December closed sales numbers will be just as strong as November's if not stronger. We are getting reports that many all-cash buyers are moving into the market.”

Dropping prices and shrinking residential inventory are two factors that prompting the increased buying.

The average sales price for a South Florida residential property in November was $183,950, down -35 percent compared to $284,700 in November 2007.

Prices in Miami-Dade were down -36 percent to $198,650 in November 2008 from $312,000 a year earlier. In Broward, sales prices have tumbled -34 percent to $169,250 from $257,400 in November 2007, according to the data.

As prices are tumbling, the inventory is decreasing. In November 2008, there were 76,799 properties on the market in Miami-Dade and Broward compared to 82,299 properties in November 2007. The year-over-year drop represents a -6.7 percent decrease, according to the data.

I have personally met with web designers, programmers, IT gurus, etc. Their combined knowledge doesn't even equal the holistic approach of Key's understanding of the web.
I have spent tens of 1,000s of dollars for the "perfect" website and lead capture systems, with poor results.
After attending a 4 hour Blog training session with Key, I posted 2 Blogs and was on page 1 of Google in position 1,2 4 and 6 and had 2 sellers contact me within 72 hours !!
After Keys 4 hour Web Strategy class I finally knew that all the self proclaimed experts in the field that I had paid big bucks to, were mostly versed in only one aspect of the web. Key's knowledge of the WEB is the most comprehensive I have ever encountered and he clearly articulates his expertise in a manner that anyone can understand.
Key empowered my agents to ask WEB companies the critical questions to have a WEB site that truly produces results and can organically create quality leads without spending a fortune. He also frees the agents from being dependant on the WEB master that they are at the mercy of.
Any EXIT agent or broker, who thinks they know how the web works with respect to real estate, really needs to attend Key's training. They will find out how much they actually never knew. If Key was able to put 5 North Carolina EXIT offices on page 1 of Google Just imagine what he can do for all of Exit as an International Franchise.
Brokers, owners and agents should not delay in scheduling Key."
