Home Buyer Tax Credit Has Been Extended Thru April 30th 2010! 

In addition to he extension of the $8,000 first time home buyer credit there is a NEW $6,500 Tax Credit available for current homeowners that wish to buy thru April 30th 2010.  They would all have until the end of June of 2010 to close on their new homes.

Keep in mind that this can reduce the federal income taxes that you pay. How you might ask? By deducting the interest of your mortgage and property taxes that you pay every year that you file your income tax returns.

3 ways to find deep-discount properties in your backyard!

1. Pick an area that you know is a good rental area.  If you're not sure, ask a Realtor to pull up an area that has a good mix of properties for sale and properties for rent.

2. Ask that Realtor to give you what the DOM  (average days on market) is and what's the average  $/sf sold in that area.

• Let's say if that area normally sells for $225/sf in today's market. Then watch for new REO listings that are listed at around $144/sf and send them an offer. This is what savvy real estate investors refer to as "low hanging fruit".

3. Have a Realtor give you all the REOs that the status recently changed from Pending Sale to Available (that means the deal fell through).

If you live in the Queens, Brooklyn, or Long Island areas send me an email with your specific request (for one or all of the items outlined in this post) and I could email you the local stats.

Please be as spefic as possible when emailing me at ProRealtor@verizon.net

It's been six months to the day since my last blog post. I was ranked #1 in Queens at the time and #5 in NY State by this site. Today I'm #2 in Queens and #10 in the state of NY. Sometimes life throws you a curve ball. Fortunately, I have a great manager, an awesome mentor, and a super supportive family and they all keep me on my toes.

A lot of things have changed in that time and I now have plenty of things to write about. Believe it or not I still get quite a few responses and inquirues from the 460+ posts that I wrote over the last couple of years. Keep your eyes open, you'll be seeing a lot of me from now on. I'm back!
