I will take the time to go through each and every step of the buying process. There are no dumb questions!

Together, we will consider:

- What it takes to get approved for financing. What banks and other financial institutions are looking for.

Bargain Properties >Diamonds in the Rough

There are a lot of "diamonds in the rough" for sale. A property with incredible potential may be in a great location, have large sunny rooms and a big yard, but it may also have dated wall paper, worn carpeting, and uninspired bathrooms. If you can look beyond the surface, you may see a house that could be transformed by a little "elbow grease", paint, and new carpets.

A house that is structurally sound with all the systems in good condition may be only a few cosmetic repairs away from being fantastic! A home that does not show well is usually priced accordingly. If the price doesn't reflect the condition of the house, the seller may be more willing to negotiate than a seller who has made a considerable investment in preparing a home for the market.

Bring your imagination with you on your next house hunting trip! You may be pleasantly surprised to find a diamond in the rough.

Q	Which hazardous substance is contained in sixty-four million houses and apartments?
A	HUD estimates that 64 million homes and apartments built before 1978 contain lead-based paint.
