Twin Cities Real Estate
- First Time Home Buyer Seminar – Thursday, February 16th, 6:30-8PM (March 15th) With interest rates at record lows, prices of homes for sale here in the Twin Cities having dropped over the last number of years as well, an outstanding buying opportunity is present for first time home buyers here in our market. Often times, buyers can now own a home for less than they are paying in rent. At this first time buyer seminar, we will examine the entire buying process from the financing standpoint: from determining what down payment assistance programs may be available to you as a buyer, to helping you determine what amount of home you can buy, to learning more about the process of beginning to search for properties. Troy Mlenar from Waterstone Mortgage and Charlie Leimer from The Minnesota Real Estate Team will take you through the process of working with a real estate agent: from the first meeting over coffee to learn more about you and what you are looking for in a home, to the process of looking at properties, making an offer, and moving forward to the day of closing.
- Investment Property 101 Seminar – Tuesday, February 21st, 6:30-8PM (March 20th, 2012) - With prices and interest rates low, as well as the large number of bank owned and short sale properties for sale here in the Twin Cities, real estate investors are realizing this market is one of opportunity. At this Investment Property 101 seminar, Ryan O’Neill will go over the process of becoming a real estate investor. From his experience of owning 14 rental properties, many since 2001, Ryan will go over the “ins and outs” of investment property. At this seminar, we will also offer insight on what the current financing guidelines are for investment property, how a real estate investor decides upon what type of loan product to choose, and what options are available, from commercial loans, to rehab loans, to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. This is a great event if you have any interest in simply learning about fix and flip or buy and hold investment property here in Minnesota.

- Use a 203k to Buy and Fix a Home – Tuesday, March 6th – With so many of the homes in our local market needing repair, buyers have been more frequently been using a loan product called a FHA 203k to purchase and rehabilitate a home.

At this seminar, you will learn how to turn this home that appears to be more of a fixer upper, into the home you have always wanted.
