Where is the next realty/property hot spot in Oregon to buy cheap and resell?

March 6, 2010 - 12:32 pm 3 Comments

I’d like a prediction on the next areas of Oregon to buy propery in. Especially on the coast or Willamette valley. But any answers appreciated!!

Coos Bay, Oregon.

House Bill 5036 authorizes the state to issue lottery bonds to fund the Coos Bay channel project to widen and deepen the lower bay shipping channel for a proposed container terminal on the North Spit.

With the legislation, lawmakers committed to funding $60 million for the project in an effort to woo APM Terminals, the U.S. operating division of AP Moeller Maersk, to build at Coos Bay.

The Oregon Gateway Project, which could cost up to $1 billion, would generate 1,639 new jobs in Coos County and 4,528 throughout the state, pumping $574 million into Oregon’s economy, according to a report prepared by BST Associates of Washington.

What is the top realty company in the west coast?

March 2, 2010 - 4:07 pm 3 Comments

I’m not really looking for the ones that sell expensive homes. I’m looking for a major realtor that sells average homes and lists rentals also. On the east coast, RE/MAX is like that.

For the most part, the company name doesn’t mean anything – every company has their good agents and lousy ones. What good does it do you if someone tells you the name of a good company, but you end up with a lousy agent from that company. Get recommendations from friends, family, and co-workers…

What does it mean when a management/realty office tell you an apt. you applied for is ‘not on the market’?

I am awaiting word on the rent fee of a particular apartment I applied for and the management office can’t tell me unless they hear back from the Dept. of Buildings in my city on what they should charge for rent. Is there such a thing?

not on the market means it is not available–rented out-taken.

management office is giving you the stall job.. dept of bldg going to give then a rent figure…
complexes make no money on empty apt… they going to fill them asap.. you have been passed over>>>>>>>>>

What are Realty Agencies looking for when they do a credit check?

February 26, 2010 - 2:13 pm 2 Comments

What can they find that can make them not want to find an partment for you? Is there a certain number?

I have a public notice on my credit history, for a bill with an old apartment I had. ($3,600) Could this stop me from getting a place to live?

They’re all looking for good credit history. Having a bunch of collections on your credit shows that you do not pay your bills & that you are a risk being a renter.

Risk for being late on rent or skipping months.

If you have collections, also provide the property management company or apartment complex with an explanation letter for any negative information.

if this $3,600 is something you are disputing w/ your previous landlord , explain that to your new one.

Most apartment complexes will still take ppl w/ bad credit, you may just have to put up a higher security deposit.

everyone’s credit past & current situations are different, there is no magical # to any of this.

Has anyone ever heard of a realty company accepting credit cards to pay security deposit on a rental home?

February 24, 2010 - 2:13 pm 5 Comments

The monthly rent is not a problem. We are scheduled to move on Dec 2nd. We had a house to move into already and it fell through on the other end, so now we have to find a new house at the last minute. The security deposit wasn’t in our budget.

At my property, we accept Visa, MC and Discover for anything, including a deposit. It’s quick, easy, and we’re notified instantly when we run it if it’s gone through or not. My company uses an online credit card merchant to run credit cards on – we type in the number and it processes instantly.

There’s no disputing or cancelling it once it’s been run – I’ve never run into that problem in the 3 years we’ve been accepting credit cards as deposits. We even have a way for residents to sign up with a credit card or checking account to have the monthly rent and utilities to be automatically deducted once a month.

The only credit card we don’t accept is American Express, due to the extremely high merchange fees for processing it.
