Never underestimate the value of good credit. If your credit history isn’t spick and span, make sure to promptly fix your credit report. This is very important. For example, maybe you are a student and you need a loan to pay for graduate school. Your credit history will affect whether or not you get that loan and consequentially it may even affect whether or not you attend that university. If applying for a private student loan, your creditor or lending institution will probably request a c... Read Full Post

A University of Florida study suggests the state's single-family residential housing market has bottomed out. "If you're thinking of buying a house, there's probably not much to be gained by holding out at this point," said Wayne Archer, director of UF's Bergstrom Center for Real Estate Studies. "It doesn't look like prices are going to fall anymore." The quarterly survey of real estate industry professionals completed in January shows the share of respondents observing a drop in single-famil... Read Full Post

A Proud History The site that is now Baldwin Park has a long and proud history of The United States Military service. From 1940 throughout World War II and until 1968, the site was an Army Air Corps and Air Force base. In 1968, that base became the Orlando Naval Training Center (ONTC), sort of a college campus for sailors. Over 650,000 naval recruits received basic training here before the ONTC was closed in 1999. Lake Baldwin and Baldwin Park take their names from former Under Secretary of t... Read Full Post

There are big bucks to be made through the buying and selling of real estate. Most investors, however, seem to want to buy high and sell low. This is obviously contrary to good business sense when profitability is taken into consideration. The best time to sell real estate is when the market looks its best and the best time to buy is when the market is radically down. The rhythm always returns. There is no such thing as a market that goes straight up forever or straight down forever. There is... Read Full Post

Just about every MLS listing processed through the board is at least one price reduction too high. It seldom starts right on the money. If it did, the properties would sell too quickly and most sellers would angrily accuse the agent of listing it too low. A normal price reduction is 5% of the list price. A property listed at $199,900 would be reduced in most cases to $189,900 as a typical scenario. This is true for most residential properties. Many listings are two, three or more price reduct...
