				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Section 8 Rentals in Chicago</strong></p>
<p>As a licensed Real Estate Agent,<br />
I have access to several <strong>Section 8</strong> rentals in Chicago.<br />
A lot of them are privately owned condos.   Sometimes you can find a<br />
few single family homes for rent too. </p>
<p>I have access to rentals listed by other real estate<br />
agents too.   I also know a few private owners that prefer housing<br />
vouchers.  So for current <strong>Chicago Section 8 rentals</strong>,<br />
you have come to the right place!</p>
<p>If you are an owner, I can offer you a short listing period of only 3<br />
months. Your listing will receive maximum exposure from being<br />
in the MLS.  I will also market your property online using various<br />
websites.   Your listing will also be featured on my website:<br />
<a href="http://www.773property.com/section8.html">www.773property.com<br />
</a><br />
I also have experience with the critical inspection process.<br />
The fee for service would be equal to one month&#8217;s rent.<br />
But, you pay $0 upfront.  So, you only pay for results!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>According to a recent report, sales in December 2009<br />
were up 33% compared to December 2008. Sales<br />
have been up 6 months in a row! But, overall, sales<br />
for the year were flat compared to 2008.</p>
<p>In many areas of the city, the number of properties<br />
sold is trending up while the selling price is<br />
trending down.  So demand is being driven by<br />
increased affordability and the tax credit. </p>
<p>Also, investors are back in the market snatching up<br />
deeply discounted bank owned properties. The<br />
distressed property sales are pulling down Chicago&#8217;s<br />
median value.  There are properties on the South<br />
and West Sides selling for $20,000!  But, I think<br />
that certain areas, like the South Loop and the Near<br />
North side, are stabilizing.  Sales activity in those areas<br />
is high, but there is also a lot of inventory on the market. </p>
<p>Hopefully, when the tax credit expires, consumer<br />
confidence will be higher than it is currently. The<br />
timing is good, because it expires during the busy<br />
Spring selling season.  So right when it expires,<br />
seasonal demand will be picking up. </p>
<p>I think we hit bottom around July/August 2009.<br />
There is a lot of pent-up demand out there. But there<br />
is even more uncertainty. The main concern now is<br />
job creation. But, I think overall that 2010 will be a better<br />
year than 2009.</p>
<p>Until the next time, </p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>If you have CASH to invest, you are Real Estate Royalty</strong></p>
<p>One thing I have learned from this recession is this:<br />
People are not going to buy a property, unless they<br />
are getting an incredible bang for their buck.  I have<br />
also learned that this is not a buyer&#8217;s market, it is really<br />
an investor&#8217;s market.  It takes cash to get most deals done<br />
these days.  </p>
<p>In light of this realization, I present &#8220;<strong>Rock Bottom Real Estate</strong>&#8220;.<br />
If you have the cash, you can get a Bungalow in Chicago,  with at<br />
least two bedrooms, and two bathrooms, for under $40K!!!   That<br />
is less than 20% of the median Chicago Home Purchase Price.<br />
We&#8217;re talking dimes on the dollar.  </p>
<p>You can also find multi-unit properties for less than $50K!  The<br />
only catch is that you have to pay cash.  No financing or hard<br />
money loans will be considered. </p>
<p>Granted, all of these properties will require some rehab work.<br />
But at that price, there has to be some profit in there somewhere.<br />
Property values have fallen dramatically, but rents have not.  </p>
<p>This means this is a great opportunity to turn a rehab into a rental<br />
or a rent-to-own property.  Then you can sell your cash flowing<br />
property to the next investor at a discount and still make a tidy profit.<br />
There is also an extremely high demand for single family home rentals.    </p>
<p><em>Note: I would stay away from flipping condos however, because it<br />
will be harder to resell condos in the current mortgage environment.</em></p>
<p>Without exaggeration, I can honestly say, this may truly be one of the<br />
greatest times to buy real estate in the last 30 years.  This is because<br />
banks are scared to lend money, so properties are just sitting on the<br />
market.  On top of that, more foreclosures are hitting the market everyday.  </p>
<p>Right now, cash is king!  If you have the cash (or 401K, IRA, CD, etc.)<br />
you can get Real Estate at super deep discounts!!!  </p>
<p><strong>WITHOUT FURTHER ADO</strong></p>
