$8000 reasons to buy a foreclosure in Northwest Landing, DuPont WA
There are a lot of reasons a Soldier would want to live in DuPont Washington. This is a soldiers story; the reason he and his family decided it would be DuPont or nothing. They found $8,000 reasons to buy a foreclosure.

When I first met the Soldier in this story I was sitting an open house in the community of Northwest Landing, DuPont Washington.  I could see it in his eyes, he wanted a home for his family. After we talked a while I realized he wanted a lot of house for the money. Since I was very familiar with the market in DuPont and not sure  we could meet his financial goals; I tried to see if maybe he might consider going a little further south to Lacey Washington. I explained; in Lacey you might be able to get more for your money. The answer was a definite NO!!  I will compromise on lots of things but DuPont is not one of them. I want to buy a house in DuPont.  Well he bought that house, and by the time we were done he had $8,000 reasons to buy a foreclosure.

If you are considering living in DuPont their are a lot of places to find statistical data. So I am writing this blog to give you something more.  In this video, you will see the face of the soldier and his family, hear it in their own words the $8,000 reasons to buy a foreclosure.  If you were to do research on DuPont you will find out about the great schools.

Great neighborhood parks, pretty tree lined streets, and a kid friendly community; but you might not see the $8000 reasons to buy a foreclosure.  Take a look at the face of the Solider, hear from him in his own words how as a first time home buyer he was able to maneuver through the  home buying system and  come out a winner.
Not only did he get a home, he has already received his $8000 reasons to buy a foreclosure. Yes that was in the form of a check. On the video you will hear when he received it, and how he spent it. The $8,000 tax credit is another word for $8,000 cash in your pocket.

You might have heard that this tax credit would be ending the end of November; that is true.  However, the House of Representatives has voted to extend the first time home buyers tax credit bill HR3950 to extend the credit to active military personnel.  The bill will now go to the Senate and is expected to pass. Take a look at the video in this blog, see for yourself, $8000 reasons to buy a foreclosure.

The happy face of a foreclosed home in Tacoma WA

When you think of the circumstance of foreclosure you usually never think of the word "happy". I would like to share with you, The happy face of a foreclosed home.

There are two sides to foreclosure, the exit side and the enter side.  Usually we are so focused on the exit side;  when a person looses (exit) their home to foreclosure.  That is truly very sad; but in this blog we are going to focus on the person buying the foreclosed home as their primary residence.  In real estate we call that, "the end user" (enter side). In this case it is when a wonderful family looking to buy a home finds just what they need. Because of this foreclosure this family have found a home that helps to meet their financial goals and the happy face of a foreclosed home is in deed a reality.

What makes this an even happier story is, I am beginning to see a psychological shift in the mind set of many buyers. It's not so much anymore about buying the biggest, the newest or the home with the most bells and whistles.  It's becoming about "what are my payments going to be". On paper it shows we qualify for more but,  we are going to be responsible with our money, we are going to be smart about the financial position we put ourselves in. The happy face of a foreclosed home is showing up more times than not in Tacoma Washington.

This is good news; the mess that we have all helped to create from our past market is giving way to  the mind set of thrift and practicality. Now isn't that what life cycles are all about. I am convinced that we will come out of this a better and stronger, not to mention smarter people. Don't believe me? look for yourself, the video in this blog will show you the happy face of a foreclosed home.

Bank Owned Homes in South Tacoma make great flips, paid $85,000 sold $179,000

When you think of a classic Victorian beauty this home would come to mind.  This home was bank owned just a few months ago and on the market for $85,000. It was purchased and it was improved and put back on the market a few short months later. It was easy to do because it has great bones. It was put back on the market for $179,000 and received 2 offers.  I want to show you how you can still make MONEY in our current economic climate flipping houses; this home is living proof.

Bank Owned Homes make great flips because Tacoma has great period houses with style.  Some of the best types of homes to flip are homes with character.  If you are a savvy investor, or a seller needing to sell a home quickly you can learn a thing or two by taking a look at the video in this blog. You will see for yourself a great tour of every room. You will get some great ideas on how to stage and make a good house become a "I have got to have it now house"  or in this case (2) buyers wanted it. They were willing to pay almost $100,000 more for the same home that was owned by the bank only a few short months ago and selling for $85,000. 

The second reason Bank Owned Homes make great flips is, South Tacoma in many cases is an over looked community on the rise.  The South Tacoma area has had lots of recent investment by owner occupied buyers as well as investors, and  many of the neighborhoods are showing a lot of neighborhood pride.  Many of the homes have been and still are being renovated.

The third reason Bank Owned Homes make great flips is, the convenience to everything.  For the most part South Tacoma is very centrally located.  It is only 30 minutes from Seattle, and 15-20 minutes to the military bases. Everybody is looking for convenience and in South Tacoma you have just that.  One the largest shopping malls in the area is located in South Tacoma, "The Tacoma Mall".

As you watch the video in this blog notice how this home is perfectly staged. Just enough; home staging does not have to be a fully furnished home.  Just enough accent to show off the great features. By using art and a few furniture pieces and accessories the stage is set.  They did a great job with this home. You really get a great emotional appeal the moment you enter the door. Always remember to try to appeal to as many of the senses as possible. The eyes, the nose, and even to the sense of sound.  The sound of water, the sound of soft music.  All of this can really help when selling your home quickly. You can't overlook the fact that upgrades and improvements went along way in making this home the jewel it is. The kitchen boast of great granite counter tops and great cabinets, the kitchen is always the heart of any home.

One final reason Bank Owned Homes make great flips is, when buying in South Tacoma you can afford to price it right. In this market that is the bottom line.
