Because of our more than 40-year history of real estate investment, development, rental property ownership/management, and finance, we know the important information to obtain in order to make an informed assessment about a property.

• Are you debating whether a real estate purchase is a good deal?
   

• Do you need more information about the property securing the loan?
   

• What is today's market and potential future market?
   

• How to increase the value and improve salability.
   

• What is the REALISTIC rental or cash flow potential?
   

• What are the gems and blemishes of a property?

• In the Sunset Village subdivision -- it is the streets.

• In the Cherokee Water District -- it is water and waste water rates and the availability of future water supply. Rates increased 35 percent in 2009 and 87 percent in 2010. This affects both residential and commercial values and salability and future development.

• In one residential neighborhood -- it is a medical marijuana dispensary.

• In many neighborhoods -- it is the number of properties for sale or are in the foreclosure process. Many properties have deferred exterior maintenance and poor landscapes.

It Is Critical To Know EVERYTHING

About A Property And Neighborhood

We will do the work for you.  We can collect information for you to ensure the most informed analysis. Typically, a 12-page checklist is used when collecting information on a property. It is our goal to know more about the property than anyone else, including the owner.

This includes history. For a good example of the importance of history, I will share a personal lesson learned. I bought properties within a gated community. Everything checked out very well. However, I did not research the history of the Property Owners Association. If I had, I would have NOT bought the properties at any price. The past actions of the Property Owners Association have prevented property values from appreciating for decades. It is very difficult to sell properties within this subdivision.

You determine the extensiveness of the research conducted.  We can provide you with a brief outline all the way up to extensive research that includes:

Our extensive research goes way beyond a typical appraisal.  We collect information that affects property value -- today and the future.

Knowing everything about a property is critical to:

Why is extensive research important to lenders and investors?

Know the property.  One reason are the outside forces affecting the present and future value and salability of a property.  For example, the source of water can drastically affect the value and salability of a property.  Consider the drop in value after the Cherokee Water District greatly restricted water usage within a number of neighborhoods.  It became almost impossible to sell a property located within this water district.

Another reason is to determine the true value of the property -- present and future.  How many properties sold during recent years are worth less today?  If you base your decision on what has recently sold or prices of properties currently for sale, you may be making a huge mistake.

We use a very extensive room-by-room inspection checklist that is very valuable for:

This inspection checklist is an accumulation of what has been learned during the more than 40 years of rental property ownership.

We will provide you with an analysis of a property that can include:

• Identifying Target Market
   
• Best Finance Options
   
• Market Analysis

• Neighborhood Trends
   
• Common Interest
   
• Owner Associations

Alternatively, we can review and provide an analysis based upon the information you have already collected.
