I have discovered one of Orange County NY's best kept secrets; Highland Falls. It's a wonderful little community close to West Point. This makes for not only a beautiful place to live, but a sizzling hot rental market, if you want to either buy investment property or even rent your house out to West Pointers and their families who come to visit. "Ring Day" or graduation day at West Point is booked at least a year in advance. There is a profound shortage of lodging in the area. If you house is set up property you can make several hundred dollars a NIGHT for renting your home. I rented my New Paltz home, 40 miles away for $2000 for one week during graduation week and it was booked a year in advance. Just advertise on VRBO.com, Vacation Rentals by Owner and your're off and running.

There are so many distressed homes on the market now that it is not a novelty anymore to say that you found a bargain foreclosure. Unfortunately, it has become almost the norm. So how does one differentiate between a real deal and a "pig in a poke"?

One of the obvious answers is location, as it is with retail real estate. If you can find a distressed house in a great location, you are already ahead of the game. Once you have located this house, the next step is to obtain a thorough home inspection. You can safely assume that while in the process of loosing their home, the former owners ran out of money and thus stopped taking care of the home. They may even have been angry enough to take it out on the house by vandalizing it. If you will be fixing up the house either to live in, rent or flip, you must know what you are getting into. Lastly, get contractors estimates for the repairs you will surely have to do.

As if this market isn't hard enough! I have several listings I can't sell now because of the moratorium on foreclosures. Isn't this a lot like closing the barn door after the horse got out? The houses have already been vacated, in fact, the former owners were evicted. Now I understand why when I had to deliver the sad news that they had been foreclosued on and had to leave, they didn't belive me and fought tooth an nail to leave. Surprise surprise!! Maybe their paperwork was erroneously filed and they weren't foreclosed on at all! All this will surely sink the market even further. It has truly gone from bad to worse.

Ask a horse person to find you a horse property, not a golfer!  I know what your and your horse need. I know the difference between a "rink" and a "ring".  I know that your horse needs access to water, a safe paddock with proper drainage and grass that grows.  I know that you need an easy place to feed and care for your horse, that can give easy access to vets, farriers and riders.

Contact me.  I know what I'm doing and I've been doing it for over 20 years.
