Open House – Rants & Raves

The choice of using HELOC and other equity is a way of diversification.

The $400k of liquid assets, a portion of it is emergency funds and the rest of it is 401k, Roth, IRA, and other investments making good money. So the $400k is called for. Also, there are tax disadvantages if I use the $400k for real estate.

The idea is to make all of your money work harder for you. The liquid assets are holding their own. The equity in the real properties are generating a decent return and then our household income exceeds our expenses.

Even the choice of going to Huntsville is an exercise in diversification.

I have thought of cashing in my entire 401k and using it to invest in real estate, but even that is too risky for me. It is better to have it as a way to diversify the entire investments that I have.

BOSTON, Dec. 20 /PRNewswire/ — House hunters are now able to rate the houses they tour online. The property-listing website Fizber.com (http://www.fizber.com/) has launched a new “Review” feature to their website which allows users to rate properties for subjective “quality”.

After touring each home, home buyers (http://www.fizber.com/home-by-owner/index.html) can rate the properties they liked and didn’t like. Property rating is done on a 1 to 5 scale with 1 being the lowest and 5 the highest rating. Ratings from all users are combined to give a combined overall rating. The number of users who have rated a property is not displayed. According to Julia Foster, Fizber’s PR Manager, in the near future users will also be able to supply comments to accompany their rating of a property. These can be used to explain the ratings given, and they are currently working on that.

Property rating is a plus for buyers trying to search for their next home while juggling work and family. But it’s also good news for sellers: If their home listing (http://www.fizber.com/1435242) has a top rating, more potential buyers would like to view it.

Does a property rating make or break a real estate sale? Probably not. But combined with the wealth of neighborhood information provided by Fizber.com, it may just be the icing on the cake for buyers tired of waiting for other FSBO sites to give them what they want.
