Why Rent in Boiling Springs SC?

Have you ever wondered why apartment buildings charge so much more for rent then Single Family Homes (SFH) charge? It really does not make sense or cents! Apartment buildings have lower over head costs because they have more income producing units per square foot of land and building material. Put another way, apartments give you LESS for your Money then renting a SFH gives you.

A Boiling Springs SFH gives you more square footage of home and a yard for the dogs, kids, or garden to flourish in. It also does not compromise your lifestyle by infringing on the neighbors likes and dislikes. If you like you music loud, play it loud. If you want to learn the tuba, learn it. Might want to keep the windows up on that last one.

Here is a Boiling Springs home located behind the Wal-Mart available for sale for ONLY $79,900. Yes the fenced in back yard, carport, and nicely stained wooden deck come WITH the home. It is a 2 bedroom 1 bath perfect for someone burning their money on rent. And oh yes, it qualifies for the government home buyer tax credit of 10%. The government will not be paying 10% of your rent this month but it will pay 10% of your home purchase up to $8,000. With low utility bills and not a repair to be found this is a great home for someone looking to keep expenses very low.

First Time Home Buyer Program

Introducing a First Time Home Buyers Program for Spartanburg and Boiling Springs that will help new buyers immediately.  New Home Buyers that buy a home with me will qualify for $500 cash back at closing by referencing this new 1st time home buyer credit.

Now is the best time to buy a home in recent memory and possibly ever.  Possibly there has never been a better time to buy a home, period.  Let’s look at the reasons why:

1)  Interest Rates are low:  Interest rates are at their lowest levels in years and they can almost go no where but up.  With our government deciding to inflate the US currency and market inflation a near given, locking in low interest rates before they go up for years and years is a wise move.  The average current 30 year fixed rate mortgage is at 4.97%.

2) The government tax credit of 10% of the home purchase price up to $8,000 can be used for a down payment or to pay closing costs in many cases.  This means home buyers do not even have to pay closing costs or put money down potentially.  Another option is to get the tax credit back later to customize your home with drapes, paint colors, towels, etc. that make a house your home.

3)  Areas like Boiling Springs SC and Inman SC qualify for USDA Rural Development loans that allow buyers to buy home with reduced payments and reduced qualifying standards.  This is a great program.  To see if you qualify for this program or if a house you are interested in qualifies call me at 864-621-7900.

4) Buyers can now get $500 back at closing when buying a home through me.  When you buy a home there will be many things you will find to do to make the house your home.  From making repairs, to buying appliances to changing the color of rooms all these “little” changes add up to real dollars.  That is why I am giving back to new home buyers.  Just reference the $500 Spartanburg New Home Buyer Coupon.

Right now is a great time to by an affordable home and stop paying rent.  If you know someone who should be owning their own home have them contact me today.

Business for Sale in Spartanburg SC

It is with great excitement that Rob Turchetta and Michael Hobbs of the Spartanburg Keller Williams office in Spartanburg SC team up with Biz1Brokers to provide a regional, national and international market for people looking to buy or sell a business in the Upstate area of South Carolina.  Biz1Brokers is the fastest growing full service business brokering franchise in the world specializing in the confidential buying and selling of small, medium, and large businesses.

 

If you are a Spartanburg Realtor and have clients or know anyone interested in selling a business let us know and we can work with you to sell the business on a referral basis.  Since selling a business requires different marketing tactics that cost money and business evaluations not normally used in the sale of residential or even commercial real estate, listing a business as a regular real estate listing can be a great disservice to its owner.  Many times real estate is not even involved in the sale as many businesses lease their buildings.  When real estate is part of the business, the property value is separated in the purchase agreement and runs through Keller Williams.  Here again the documents for the sale of a business includes clauses and terminology not used in residential or commercial real estate documents. 

 

Our goal is to leverage our time and dollars invested into the business broker model with Realtor contacts in the Spartanburg market place creating an additional income opportunity for Realtors without them having to spend more time and effort.

 

With over 50 years of combined business experience,  you can have confidence knowing that we are experienced in all levels of business management including:

Marketing and Sales on a Regional, National, and International level; Mergers and Acquisitions; Business Financial Documents and Associated Financial Ratios needed to evaluate and value a business. 

 We will also be holding business seminars with guest speakers from financial, business, government, and other disciplines to encourage those who would like to own or start a business but do not know where to start.  Help with business plan development, securing financing, budgeting, marketing, sales, and other areas of business concerns will be topics of these seminars.  We will also highlight some businesses that people can start for as little as $69.00.  Our contact information is below if you have any questions or have an opportunity to pursue.

Owner Finance Boiling Springs Home

As many Boiling Springs and Spartanburg homeowners face foreclosure or damaged credit for a variety of reasons sellers offering owner financing is becoming more and more common.  Owner financed homes in Boiling Springs range from expensive luxury homes to affordable simple homes to everything in between.

I’d like to highlight one Boiling Springs Owner Financed home here:

1088 Wilkins Ford Road, Inman, SC

For just a $467/month payment that INCLUDES your principle, interest, taxes, and insurance, you can own a 2 bedroom 1 bath home on 1 acre with a large shed equipped with electric. At a cost this low it rarely makes sense to rent and have nothing left to show for your money at the end of the month. By owning and financing your own home part of each payment goes to payoff the amount owed on the home.  This is called your principle payoff. If you decide to sell the home at some point you can pocket the difference between what you sold the home for and what you still owe on the property.  This is called realized equity.

For this Boiling Springs Owner Financed Home, or should we say Inman Owner Financed Home the land alone is worth at least half the selling price.  It is 1.01 acres of level, flat land.  Water and electric utilities are already run to the land and a septic tank is already installed.  These are costs often not thought about but connecting water service to your land can be thousands of dollars alone.

If your tired of paying rent but have credit problems or just keeping a budget consider this home before it is gone.  Oh yea, and owner financed homes also qualify for the First Time Home Buyers Tax Credit set to run out on 11/30/09.  Call me for help in finding an owner financed home in any price range.  Search for homes in Boiling Springs SC here.

Boiling Springs SC and Spartanburg SC Luxury Homes Priced $400,000 and Up

As the price of a Spartanburg South Carolina home goes up the number of days it takes that home to sell goes up as well.  There is a direct correlation between Spartanburg home prices and days on market in a tight economy or at least an economy with so much uncertainty.   The Boiling Springs area offers a lot of home for the money in a great community, in a great location in “Upstate”, SC.  The luxury home market is no exception as we have a number of very good local builders that build homes that would sell for much more if located in some other markets.

Still, the time it takes a home to sell, or the days on market for Spartanburg SC homes increases considerably as the price goes up. Look at the “Sold Listings” column below to see the annual sales rate of Spartanburg homes in this price range.  As the price goes up the sales rate comes down even while the supply of homes remain consistent across the $400,000 to $600,000 prices range.  Not shocking new information but certainly interesting to see.  This of course translates into a higher months of inventory ranging from 2.5 years to 5 years and beyond.  Search for Boiling Springs SC homes and real estate priced at $400,000 and above.

If you are a seller of a $400,000 or greater Spartanburg home or Boiling Springs home it will be important to reach a buyer market outside of the local Boiling Springs real estate market.  You can review the highlights of a successful residential real estate marketing sales plan by clicking the link.  Of course some secret details are left off as proprietary sales strategies and tactics!!!
