smokin5s Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Time to try to put the house up on the market again, does anyone know any good real estate agents? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sully Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Dude, seriously? Right now, with the current housing market, it doesn't matter how good someone is, you aren't going to get shit for your house. I'm not dissin your house. Anyone that tries to sell right now won't get shit. If I wanted to sell my rental, I would be lucky to get $120k for it and I paid over $170K for it. You should either wait, or rent it out like I did mine. www.s4re.com - go to their website and fill out the form. It's free to do and they'll come out and look at your house and tell you how much they can get for rent and they will locate renters for you.

Sully Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 not gonna rent... too much of a nightmare dealing with that... How is letting a company do EVERYTHING for you a nightmare? Step 1: I signed a couple papers Step 2: Moved out Step 3: Profit The property management company charges me $75 per month. The tenants call them when something needs fixed. I do nothing. It's such a headache!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin5s Posted February 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 does the property company foot the bill when things break or do you have to fix it with their approved people? I would rather not rent because renters don't treat your home the way that you think it should... I rented back in the day and found my house back with every wall knocked out and a nice hole in the living room where they decided to use my livingroom like it was a campfire and setup a bonfire... no thanks. I did call your guy and we are going to get together and talk turkey next week. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sully Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Let's say your house payment is $1,000 per month. Let's say they are able to get tenants to pay $1,300 per month. If something breaks and they send someone to repair it and it costs $100 to fix it, they will deduct that amount from that months check that is sent to you. So, 1,300 minus 75 minus 100 = 1,125 You pay your house payment for the month and pocket $125. Every single month that nothing breaks, you would be pocketing $225 This company does an excellent job when searching for tenants. They do background checks, credit checks, etc. If the tenants are local, they may drop by their current place unannounced to have a peek inside to see how clean it is. I'm just saying it is worth looking into rather than selling your house and taking a loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Josh, I hate to tell you, but houses like yours are a dime a dozen right now, and the ones going are the short sales. The easier sells (easier being a stretch of the term in this market) are those places that don't have any competition, such as homes in desireable areas with no one else selling their stuff, unique land structures, etc. I am currently renting my Reynoldsburg house. No way could I sell it in this market and even break even, so I am better off renting the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
