Should I or shouldn’t I invest in Lancaster Real Estate? Think Big

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010

I’ve encountered the question and concern frequently, what will the market do? Well, honest answer is I don’t know. We’ve only got history to go off of and that isn’t exactly lining up with our current industries thoughts and experiences. Due to our current economic pressures, people have also been emotional, stressed and insecure about our financial future.  Can we really measure the next few years real estate values with what we see today?

Why would I take the risk at the moment in our uncertain times and go out on a limb and buy more real estate? Well, historically it has always performed well. Slow and steady is usually the pace, but it has always came back and some years has really jumped ahead. How many times have you heard the story, “I bought this 40 years ago for $2,000.” I’ve heard this phrase with different numbers many times over . I’ve rarely encountered the owner being unhappy due to that certain piece of real estate’s current value after owning it for a number of years.

So if you’re unsure of whether or not to invest your cash on hand into real estate, I would think twice before abandoning the idea, it could prove to be profitable and secure use of your time and money. With proper market research, I can help you invest in investment properties and profit from them.

Expect the unexpected in Real Estate

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

When buying, selling, owning, or renting Real Estate in Lancaster County Pa or anywhere for that matter. Expect the unexpected in Real Estate, If you’re not, you’re setting yourself up for disaster.  When buying homes that are older, examine and/or test the utilities going from the street to the home. Without digging up everything there is really no way to know what’s really going on under there. If you feel there maybe an issue because the home has, a wet basement, really green patches in the yard, water leaching through a wall or maybe an odor or dampness. Right then and there you should consider getting an specific inspection on the problem area. Although there really is no way to fully know if there’s an issue, you can have certain tests performed to take precaution against potential future expenses.

Sometimes even the best test cannot protect you against the unknown, so sometimes you just have to take the plunge. Just know this, if you have a question or a concern you can always call me if you don’t already have a realtor in Lancaster Pa.
