Use Home Ownership and Investment Property Reports to determine the Fair Market Value and Operating Expenses for Residential and Investment Properties.

In these times determining the Fair Market Value of a home or investment property is difficult considering the falling prices of homes and investment properties over the last 3-5 years, without getting the services of a qualified appraiser. I can provide you a detailed Home Ownership Report or Investment Property Report with the Fair Market Value of the property based on the property address. A score is given to the property comparing it to similar properties in City, County and State in which the property resides. Historical Appreciation of the property for 1,3,5 & 10yr is also compared to similar properties in the City, County and State.

For Home Ownership Reports estimated monthly expenses are listed and the monthly rent for the home is calculated by sampling properties in the local area.

For Investment Property Reports a Cash Flow Analysis is done listing Rental Income, Financing Costs, Property Taxes, Other Expenses, Total Monthly Carrying Costs, Projected Monthly Cash Flow, Capitalization Rate and Return on Investment.

My email address is tgidlund@comcast.net please enclose the complete address for the property to be evaluated and I will sent the report to your email address. Please specify type of report, Investment Property Report or Home Ownership Report. Distribution of reports will be limited to greater Seattle and Bellingham WA.area.

Window of Opportunity for Real Estate Investment in Bellingham WA


Looking at the last Post we have dropped below 4.6% interest rate on a 30 year fixed rate mortgage to a low of 3.15%. Home prices are still falling however not at the rate of the last quarter. We are slowing the downward plunge and the real estate market is starting to recover. Looking at the Bellingham Home Appreciation Graph you can see the start of the turn for 1 yr and 5 yr appreciation. This is an investment opportunity compared to the Great Recession and one that we will not see again in our lifetime.

I have teamed up with a new company called Own America to provide my clients some  unique tools to help you create an investment plan, identify markets with the greatest potential and analyze properties to fit your objectives. You can view some of these tools by clicking on the OwnAmerica Investor Center on the bottom of this page.

This recession has created a Once-in-generation Opportunity from which I have made into a Power Point Presentation for my clients and I would be pleased to have the opportunity to present it to you.

Please contact me at 360 201 2914, the presentation is portable and on my lap top.


Sincerely,
