Change is of course happening right now! Your job may have moved to a new state, you need to have a new place to live yet you have the one you are already in. We can help you by renting that property to qualified tenants. Change in your life may be the cause for your no longer being able to take care of a property that you have been managing on your own. We can help you manage the property while you stay where you are and get checks in the mail.

These may be some difficulties you may come across or are already experiencing:<!--more-->

  • Tenants who pay their rent are much more appealing than tenants who do not.

  • Yardwork in between tenants is a chore that cannot be supervised long distance.

  • "Oh no, the tenants have moved, what marketing should I try now?"

  • $75 round trip in gasoline to show the property to someone who isn't interested or isn't qualified. Or Worse! They do not show up for the appointment.

  • A romantic Saturday night with that special someone is great until the tenant calls because their toilet just ate the hairdryer.
  • "Uh, No, Mr Tax Man, I didn't keep records of income and expenses for that rental property."

These are just a few of the stressful moments in managing your own property. We understand what you go through. Let us take most of that away. We currently manage rental homes in Cochise County, Arizona. We are also close to 100% occupancy with quality tenants. Our tenants seem to be happy in the homes they are in. It's not just a place for them to live, it is a home. We place our tenants with care. It is our belief that if they truly feel suited to the home they are in they will stay there and become quality tenants. Many of our tenants are also preparing to purchase the homes they are living in.

Our marketing alone has generated more tenants than we have properties. This is fantastic for us! It could be fantastic for you also! You will not need to worry about where you are going to find that next tenant. We market our properties on 50 websites and growing!

Systems are in place to accurately record your income and expenses. This will come in handy when you are bringing your papers to the accountant. You will receive an itemized statement every month tallying the year to date. By the way, the itemized statement comes, right along, with your check in the mail!

A team is in place to take care of most of those emergencies that can ruin a night with your family. Our team is prompt and respectful. This team was chosen to give you the best services at the best price possible. We are happy to be able to share the opportunity with them.

Contact us about managing your Cochise County property. We would love to help and we have tenants calling and emailing regularly waiting for just your property.

The Gadsden Hotel was first established in 1907, five years before Arizona got it's statehood. This 5 story, 160 room hotel has quite a Historic and ghostly history. The hotel is grand, yet inviting, to both the living and to those whom refuse to pass on. It's been a central place for people to meet up at for decades. Check out this hotel from the past and maybe visit with someone from the past also.

The original building burned to the ground in 1928 and was rebuilt in 1929. The only surviving structure from the original building was its marble staircase. Which is where the first part of this ghostly past begins.

Help for financially distressed homeowners in Cochise County, AZ

Help for financially challenged sellers.

Short Sale Assistance

Many homeowners are living in homes that have lost value to below what they owe on their loans. Add to that the loss of income or a reduction in income and homeowners are facing the possibility of loosing their homes to foreclosure.
If you are one of these homeowners there may be a possible solution. We can analyze your situation to determine if the lender will allow you to sell your home short of it’s loan due. You will not be making money on the home you have cared for all these years but you will be saving yourself from the much worse financially debilitating situation of foreclosure.
First you must ask yourself some questions:
  • Does your current income leave you paying your mortgage with more than 30% of your income?
  • Do you believe the value of your home is less than what you owe?
If you live in Cochise County Arizona and answer yes to these questions we may be able to help negotiate a sale of your home where the bank will allow for a home to be sold at market value and forgive the unpaid debt on your home. Is this too good to be true?...... read more


What's been happening in 2009

Ok so I have been lax at my blog posting and twittering. My excuse? I have been very busy, I had my first ever solo art show in November. I worked my arse off for 6 months getting a body of work together for this. You can see some shots from the show on my art blog. I am excited because now I have a body of work which means I can put some of my things in other galleries as well.

AND..Life takes it's twists and turns all at once. One thing led to another and in the fall of this year I found myself in school to be a real estate broker here in Arizona. Yep I jumped into school as I was finishing up my exhibition. Life was insane!

Oh! and I took on a job as manager for the Rancho Perilla Estates Master Association. This community desperately needed a new manager whom they could trust. Their situation was not good. Monies had been misappropriated, where to? No one knows. The electricity for the lights had been turned off etc.. Just oodles of issues to be reckoned with. Yeah, I took this on in the fall also.

NEXT I am preparing to open my own brokerage in January. I've got the license, I've got an office, and I am ramping up my motivation once again. There is much preparation needed to open my office. Name, Logo, learn how to make databases, decide what to offer other agents, write letters to all my clients asking them to come aboard.

MEANWHILE I am in San Carlos Mexico, my last few days of this trip. Preparing documents, finishing some art work, basking in the sunshine and teaching myself how to use databases. I may live here some day but I can't think about that now so that I can sufficiently ramp up my motivation to go back to Douglas and get this project rolling.

SO keep an eye on me and visit my new brokerage when I open in January :) Thanks.
