Real Estate Broker Tim Judge Talks Real Estate Marketing

Investing in Real Estate can be a great way to build wealth.  Of course, like any investment, there are pros and cons.  To invest in real estate requires a time commitment and a bit of risk.  However, the rewards can be great, according to real estate expert, Tim Judge, of Judge and Associates.

Real estate is not a *get rich quick* scheme.  With careful research and investment overtime real estate can appreciate in value and bring the owner profit.  Many real estate investors use the equity gained in previous investments to purchase more real estate over time, which further builds their portfolio and overall wealth.

Some properties are better suited for real estate investing than others.  The best way to find properties to invest in is to work with a real estate agent that specializes in real estate investing in the Greenwich, CT area.  A savvy first time buyer can become a real estate investor with the right property.  A well chosen first house can appreciate after several years.  Rather than selling that first house, a first time homeowner can use the equity to purchase a second home to live in and rent out the first house.  This cycle can go on and on in which case the homeowner becomes landlord as they build real estate wealth.

Another way to build wealth through real estate is with multi-unit housing such as duplex and triplex units.  The benefit of starting out with a multi-unit house is the other unit(s) can help pay the mortgage costs for the homeowner.  This in turn will accelerate the build up of capital to buy the next piece of real estate.  At that point the home owner*s unit can be rented out and the homeowner can move into their dream house.  Throughout the process of investing in real estate, a professional real estate agent is an invaluable asset to the investor.  Agents and brokers know the market and trends and can help the investor choose the best areas to purchase real estate in the Greenwich, CT area.

Read the full story here about the Massive Cap and Trade Tax Passes House: What to Expect Economically the hose has just narrowly passed this bill that would drastically change the Hosing market and the economy as we know it for a very insignificant benefit to our planet. Below is an exceprpy fronm the story on theNationalScene.com is a very real possibility if we don’t contact our Senators as soon as possible:

“Some other aspects of cap and trade that will affect us all:

• Homebuyers Beware.  Trying to save up for a new home?  You may have to save up a little longer for your purchase.  The Democrats’ bill would dramatically increase new home costs by mandating California’s expensive new building codes for the entire nation.  Immediately upon enactment, the Democrats’ bill would demand a 30 percent increase in energy efficiency for new construction.  A couple of years later, the Democrats’ bill would require an additional 50 percent improvement.  These numbers were chosen with no concern for cost to consumers or feasibility in implementation.

• Homebuilders Beware.  The Democrats’ bill imposes new mandatory regulations and civil penalties for homebuilders.  If your state refuses to accept the stringent and costly California building codes, the federal government may assess penalties.  And don’t get too comfortable with the new mandatory regulations because the Democrats’ bill allows for “consensus-based” codes to supplant those outlined in the bill.  So, as soon as you’ve invested your hard-earned money to comply with the bill’s mandates, the rug could get pulled from underneath you.  Translation?  You’ll pony up more and more money.

• Home Sellers Beware.  Having a hard time selling your home?  Here’s one more hurdle to jump:  all homes sales are conditioned upon an energy audit and a new energy rating assessment and energy labeling program for your home that’s outlined in the Democrats’ bill.  And if you thought you could improve your property with a fresh coat of paint and some granite counters?  Think again!  Now your home will be subjected to a new energy rating assessment and energy labeling program that will penalize you for older windows, original fixtures, and dated appliances.  So the Democrats’ bill would bring down the value of your home!

• New Lights No Matter the Cost. As early as 2012, the Democrats’ bill eliminates all existing lighting technology used in many outdoor lighting fleets (parking lots, stadiums, secured facilities like power plants and factories).  Just as an example, switching to the mandated technology in the bill will cost one small utility about $30 million in annual revenue.  So you now have to comply with the new mandates for new lighting?  Hold the phone.  It is not clear that a feasible alternative technology is available for every existing lighting application - regardless of cost - which could force some businesses to close.”
