4 Real Estate Review April 2011
Pros and ConsOf Renting vs
Buying a Property
Pros of Buying1. The mortgage interest payments and
property taxes are deductible.2. When your property increases in value you will make a
profit on an asset that you couldn’t afford to fully payfor in the first place.
Cons of Buying1. You have the responsibility of maintaining the property.
This could drain your resources, energy and time.2. On average you have higher monthly costs when you take
into consideration the property taxes and insurance.3. You can’t move as freely as you can when you rent.
Pros of Renting1. For the same cost every month you can generally afford
a larger space when you rent than when you buy.2. You have the flexibility to upgrade or downgrade the
quality of your rental property as your own financialhealth improves or declines.
3. You have more discretionary money to spend sinceyour money isn’t tied up in the rental property.
Cons of Renting1. There is a risk that you will have to move when the
landlord sells the property.2. You won’t have as much freedom to decorate or
renovate the rental property.3. Rental payments are not tax-deductible and you cannot
financially tap into the value of the rental property.
Five Reasons to Buy AHome This Year
Affordabilityreturns to housing,
and buyershave loads of
negotiating power
1. Affordability is betterthan ever
2. You have a largeinventory to choosefrom
3. Builders are offeringbig discounts
4. Mortgage rates arehistorically low
5. You can get a federaltax credit
Become the homeowneryou’ve always dreamed
of becoming!
Tips for a First-Time Home BuyerBenefits for a First-Time Home BuyerYou should buy a home. That’s what you’ve been hearing from friends and family, right? So, bynow you have likely weighed the benefits and decided that home ownership is the best decisionfor you.
How Long Should It Take to Buy Your First Home?A motivated buyer will find a home within 2 weeks. Most buyers find a home within 2 days.Good real estate agents will listen to your wants and needs and arrange to show only thosehomes that fit your particular parameters. Your agent should preview homes before showingthem to you.
How Many Homes Should a Home Buyer See?The average number of homes a realtor shows to a buyer in one day is seven. Any more thanthat and the brain is on overload. Therefore, don’t expect to see 20 to 30 homes, although it’sphysically possible to do so, you probably will not remember specific details about any of them.
How a First-Time Buyer Can Rate InventoryBring a digital camera and begin each series of photos with a close-up of the house number toidentify where each group of home photos start and end. Pay attention to the home’s surround-ings. What is next door? Do 2-story homes tower over your single story? Do you like the loca-tion? Is it near a park or a power plant? Immediately after leaving, rate each home on a scale of1 to 10, with 10 being the highest.
View Top Choices a Second Time Before Buying That First HomeAfter touring homes for a few days, you will probably instinctively know which one or twohomes you would like to buy. Ask to see them again. You will see them with different eyes andnotice elements that were overlooked the first time around. At this point, your agent should callthe listing agents to find out more about the sellers’ motivation and to double-check that an of-fer hasn’t come in, making sure these homes are still available to purchase.

How To Buy APre-Owned Home
• Be sure to get your credit score before youshop for a house.
• Just because you’re approved for $200,000does not mean you have that much to spend.
• Don’t buy a house in a rush.

PREVENTING FORECLOSUREOnce you're in your new home, you'll need to make your monthly mortgage
payments each month and on time.
If you don't make your mortgage payments over a period of time, your mortgagelender can foreclose on your house. Foreclosure means that the lender takes thetitle to your property for nonpayment and sells the property to recover the amount
you owe the lender. As a result of foreclosure, youwould no longer be able to live in your house and youwould lose all of the equity you held in your home
including your down payment.
If this happens, the foreclosure becomes part of yourcredit record. This may adversely affect your ability to
secure credit in the future.
Be sure that you understand the serious commitmentyou are undertaking when you decide to buy a home.
En Route ...Develop a savings plan to protect your investment inyour home. Financial planners usually recommendthat you save 3 to 6 months worth of expenses in
case you lose your job or become seriously ill.If you do foresee that you will have a problem making your monthly mortgagepayments, contact your mortgage lender immediately. Mortgage lenders will
work with you to avoid a foreclosure.

14 Real Estate Review April 2011
NegotiatingTips For
Home Buyers
Negotiating Tactics to Use on the SellerIt’s like a debate. On one side are the seller and Real Estate Agent.
On your side, is your Real Estate Agent or property attorneynegotiating with the seller’s Real Estate Agent.
The rules of this game are:• The sellers must convince you that this house IS worth the asking price,
and you must convince them that the house is NOT worth the asking priceIf they have a savvy real estate agent working for them, the agent may showrecent selling prices of homes in the area, which is the most widely acepted guide topricing a house, along with reports of a property appraiser. But it’s not gospel, they mayhave more rooms or more amenities than the house you are buying.
• If the house is such a good deal, why hasn’t it sold yet?If the house you’re looking at is such a good deal, it would have sold long before you gotthere. If the house you are looking at is available for you to buy, you should question thevalue with the seller.
• Use high maintenance fees to your advantage.If maintenance fees are high, this could be a bargaining point for you to drive the price ofthe house down. Just remember, if you are about to walk away, chances are a dozen otherbuyers already have and the sellers are probably starting to panic. High fees can make theseller’s home difficult to sell.
• Start nit-picking.If the house has central A/C, check the air filter and if it’s dirty, it’s a good sign of otherpotentially undesirable issues you might find in the house. Think about it, if they areselling and did not spend the $2.00 to change the filter to make a good appearance, whatelse did the seller neglect?
• Other houses nearby sold for $300,000This is like taking credit for someone else’s work. While neighborhood pricing data isa good basis to start with, you need to convince the sellers that eaach house has itsown intrinsic value, and just because a house 10 blocks away sold for $300,000, this doesnot mean the seller’s house is worth $300,000. Also, just because other buyers paida high price for surrounding homes, does not mean it’s worth that much to you.

Four Simple Rules for Perfect Exterior PaintingIf you want professional-looking results when painting exterior wood, approach the projectas if you were a professional painting contractor. That means following four simple rulesthat come second nature to experienced painters.
1. Take time to prepare the surface properly.This is where a lot of inexperienced painters go wrong.It’s important to fight the urge to start painting as soon aspossible. Even the best paints can fail if they’re applied toa poorly prepared surface. Before beginning to paint, cleanthe surface thoroughly. This can be done with rented power-washing equipment or by scrubbing with a long-handledbrush using plain soap and water.Afterward, remove any remaining loose, flaking, or peelingpaint by scraping or wire-brushing. Next, sand down roughedges on the old paint, as well as areas where the paint isglossy. Finally, brush off the dust and particles left from thesanding and scraping. Then sand and prime any areas wherethe wood is bare.
2. Buy top quality paint.To get the best-looking and longest-lasting paint job, it’s important to use the highest gradeof paint. On wood and many other exterior surfaces, top quality 100% acrylic latex paint isthe best choice. Because these paints contain more solids than run-of-the-mill paints, theyform a thicker, more durable paint film. What’s more, they hide better, so they’ll often con-ceal the old paint color in fewer coats, saving a lot of extra work ... and saving money, too.Top quality100% acrylic latex paint also has better adhesion, so they get a better grip on a properlyprepared surface, and they remain flexible, so they can expand and contract with changingtemperatures. These attributes help top quality paints resist peeling and flaking, which addsto the life expectancy of the paint job. Top quality 100% acrylic latex paints typically last10 years or more, compared to three or four years for lower quality coatings. So, they area much better value in terms of cost per year of service — no small consideration in thesetrying economic times.
3. Use quality brushes and equipment.For the best results when applying top quality paint, use quality brushes and accessories.Better quality equipment makes the work easier and helps apply the paint in a thicker, moreuniform coat for a better-looking paint job. Homeowners should choose brushes that arewell-balanced and springy, with multiple lengths of split bristles packed tightly in a 1/2 to1’’ thickness on a standard 4’’ brush. When working with latex paints, it’s important to usebrushes with synthetic bristles — ideally, polyester. Polyester bristles will hold their shapeand maintain the proper stiffness regardless of the amount of water they encounter.
4. Paint in the right weather conditions.After you have your quality paint and tools in hand, choose the right type of day to applythe paint. Doing so will enable the paint to form a tough, durable, protective film.
It’s best to do exterior painting in mild weather, ideally when temperatures are above 500 F,and when the wind isn’t strong. On very hot days, try to avoid painting in direct sunshine,since surfaces sitting in direct sun can be 10 to 200 hotter than the air temperature. One wayto cope with this and still keep the job moving is to paint on the shady side of the house.
The four rules for perfect painting involve a lot of common sense and take a little self-dis-cipline. But, if you follow them, you’ll be rewarded with a beautiful, professional-lookingpaint job that will last for years.

Straight Talk About Hardwood FloorsThe American Hardwood Information Center asked four top design professionals — akitchen designer, an interior designer and two architects about their choices for hardwoodflooring. And from the twenty or so most recognized hardwood species, here are somefavorites, plus insights on how each hardwood is used.
ASH — I like its natural tone, but I sometimes bleach it to make it look very creamy. Evenif ash is sanded smooth, its surface appears to have texture. I like putting ash on floors. Itaccepts finishes well and, with its consistent grain, is incredibly handsome in its naturalstate.
CHERRY — We choose cherry for flooring because of the color — a dark tone with areddish tint. For cabinetry, we’ve used it with insets — a mix of cherry and maple. I use itmore in cabinetry, though it can also be used for floors. You don’t stain it; it has a beautifulnatural hue. Cherry gets lighter with age, and can be damaged by sunlight. I’m careful notto put it directly in front of large sunlit windows.
HICKORY — Sometimes I use hickory on floors, instead of maple or oak. Its graining is special, giving a completely dif-ferent look.
MAPLE — It creates a hardy surface as flooring and is also very good for cabinetry. It can be used in its natural state and,because of its smoothness and tight grain, can be painted. We’ve made great-looking cabinets out of birds-eye maple ina natural finish. It’s really durable, and its surface is so hard it won’t absorb dampness. I’ve often specified maple for theinterior of kitchen cabinets.
OAK — Oak is the greatest. It has a pronounced grain and can be stained any color you want. And using oak is traditional,not trendy — like owning a pair of gray flannels.
WALNUT — When we have clients who want really dark floors, we always choose black walnut for its subtle grain andrich tone. Walnut works equally well for cabinets. “We often apply an opaque ebonized finish to cover the wood yet main-tain the grain.
Concerning bamboo as a design option, Pavarini says that “it grows fast but is not as versatile as hardwood.
