Mashable.com is one of the largest and most trafficked blogs on the Internet. It keeps track of such social networking giants as Facebook, Myspace, Youtube and Bebo, plus many other social networking sites. When a new social networking site is created, when an existing one adds a new feature, when there are problems with a networking site, Mashable reports it.

There is a lot to be said for using social networking sites to promote and sell your real estate. Social networking sites are home to millions of users, some of which, it must be allowed, are searching for property. The social networking phenomenon is a relatively new one, though, so it pays to keep track of what applications and updates can benefit you as a realtor. This is where Mashable comes in.

A casual search on Mashable.com for keywords relating to real estate nets articles about Trulia.com integrating their search with Google Streetview, Zillow.com’s funding being now worth million, and the introduction of propertyqube.com, a new social network for people interested in real estate. And these are just three examples of information relating directly to the real estate industry on a popular blog that doesn’t target it as a subject.

For the busy realtor, a site that keeps track of innovations in the social networking scene can be invaluable for taking advantage of the latest and hottest sites, features, and applications. If you’re using multiple social networking sites to promote your real estate, it can be time consuming to keep track of the latest innovations and websites.

Mashable isn’t just a passive information repository. It also has an active community, a web-related marketplace and hosts a huge social network grid where you can search for fellow Mashable members on popular networking sites.

Finding out what potential clients are using to keep connected and how to connect to them is a crucial element of using the Internet to find property buyers. Mashable.com makes a great shortcut and is a huge repository of information for the social network-minded realtor.

This is something that depends on your own circumstances. Remember that we are not now in the sort of market where you will naturally see a price rise after holding for a while. This is a flat market where the prices generally stay static. They might rise a bit and then fall a bit, but generally they’ll bump along for a few years now until the next boom starts. So whether you sell or hold is your own decision, based on your finances and your investment portfolio.

You might find that you need that extra bit of cash, so you’d be better off selling. Then again, if you bought them at the top of the boom you may have paid too much for them and if you sell now you’ll make a loss. Remember, if you decide to hold, it will be for a few years because the boom won’t come back in six months time, so ask yourself if you can afford to hold for at least five years.

If you can’t afford to hold for that long, it might be best to sell off now before the property starts to cost you even more. Another question to ask yourself is: “Will the property increase in value over the next five years?” If it won’t, there’s no point in keeping it.

When considering this question, look at the surrounding neighborhood. If it has good access roads and infrastructure, good schools and shops, parks and gardens and the people are renovating their own homes, then the likelihood of values increasing there is good. On the other hand, the place may only be booming because some factory there that is expanding. In five years time if that factory has stopped expanding and is maybe even closing down, then what is going to happen to all those houses? The area will become something like a ghost town, with values at rock bottom. It doesn’t hurt to do a bit of research into the history of the area to see what has caused the place to expand and increase in value.

For the person who has several investment properties, it’s a good idea to sell four out of five and keep the quality one that will be worth heaps more when the prices stat to rise again. You make money both ways in real estate. You buy to flip and you buy to add value and hold a while. Real long-term wealth comes from buying quality property and holding it, but by playing both sides of the game you make extra money.

You can get a greater cash flow and use it to reduce your risk through debt exposure if you sell four out of five properties. Always try and keep a loan to value ratio of about 70% to 80% of the values. So if your house is worth 0,000, then your loan should be in the vicinity of 0,000. That way, if you are forced to sell at say, 0,000 or even 0,000, you have enough to cover your loan with a bit left over.

Just remember that winning in the real estate game is not about buying the most properties in the shortest time, now even about making a killer profit on every deal. It’s about creating a core strategy that will work in today’s market and every market, whether it’s a flat or a boom time. You’ve got to stick to that core strategy through thick and thin and only do those things that will maximise profits and minimize risks. That’s the way to become successful in real estate.

We Buy Houses in Ohio

Has your property been on the market an extended time and it still hasn’t sold? Recently I spoke with a property owner who had their property on the market 14 months without a single offer. They had already moved due to their job relocating. It was quite simple, they either transfer to a new location or be laid off. Some choice, huh? When I met this person I explained that we buy houses in Ohio. They wondered how it worked and if they would receive a fair price.

I explained to them that they would receive a fair price (sometimes full retail), close quickly and I’d also take the property “as is”. I could see one of the reasons the property wasn’t selling was due to the bathrooms being very outdated. You know, the almond green bath tub, vanity and the gold light fixtures. You see, When we buy houses in Ohio, we do all the work so the owner isn’t burdened with it.

When we discussed their current finances with the house, it looked like this. They we’re asking 9,900, still paying a 5 house payment each month, dollars in utility bills (gas, electric and water), dollars in maintenance (grass mowing, weeding, snow removal) and the price of having the worry if the house was OK since they now lived four hours away. When you add the dollars together they were spending ,120.00 each month for 14 months which totals ,667, WOW! This didn’t include a 6% commission of ,194, closing costs of ,500 (we typically cover the sellers closing costs), home inspection repairs (and there are almost always home inspection repairs) and potentially covering at least a portion of buyer closing costs. The reason I mention that is many buyers today, especially first time buyers don’t have a lot of money. They scrape together just enough to cover the 3 1/2% down payment FHA requires with little to spare. So now when you add the ,667 + ,194 + ,500 + ,000 (home inspection repairs) that totals ,361.00, and the green and gold bathroom hasn’t been addressed.

Oh, I forgot to mention that they had been renting another house for 12 months at 0 a month while they were waiting for their house to sell. That’s another ,800.

So, even with a full price offer they would only net ,739.00 and they had an existing mortgage to payoff with a balance of ,761 leaving them with ,978.

By selling to a we buy houses in Ohio company, we could have offered them ,000 for the property putting an extra ,261 in their pocket, not going through the hassle and worry, and experiencing an additional moving expense from the rental house.

It sure would have been financially more feasible and easier to have sold to a we buy houses company

So if you have a house to sell in Ohio (Dayton, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Canton, Akron, Youngstown, etc.), contact the We Buy Houses Ohio.com. We will give you a fair price, close on the date of your choice and take your house as is.
