Brookman is a secluded neighborhood in Bethesda, Md., nestled between MacArthur Boulevard and Clara Barton Parkway. This distinctive community is made up of a mix of Washington’s who’s who, including artists, granola-types and outdoor enthusiasts, kayakers.

For many it is the best of all worlds where they can enjoy country living in such proximity to the big city.

I found maybe 2 that I would put my own credit and money toward. One builder has 50 buyers all lined up waiting for financing. I googled their name and the entire first page of search results contained the words “RIPOFF” “SCAM” “CLASS ACTION”. I’m not kidding you. How do these 50 people put trust in this company? My philosophy is that if it looks like a duck and swims like a duck. the thing must be a duck!! right?? Due diligence is key. Your effort is required in real estate investing. If you cannot give any effort, you will find yourself sitting at home in 2 years wondering how you could have avoided your most recent foreclosure, short sale, or just a plain headache.

Austin is ranked as one of ten cities in the U.S. that has less than a one per cent chance of seeing a decline in realty. This will be no surprise to the people of Austin, who have sat back and watched high rise after high rise going up in the downtown Austin area.

If you are working on a limited budget, it is a good idea to buy a small (size and price) house at first. At least this way you will have your foot on the bottom rung of the realty ladder. If prices do take a jump, your home will jump with them. You can learn renovation tricks and the investment in your home will be returned to you when you sell.

As a basic rule your prospecting should occur in the first 2 or 3 hours of the day. In this way the job is done and then you can get into other things.
