Using your IRA to Build Real Estate Wealth via Non-Recourse Loans
Calling all investors... Looking for a way to purchase more properties, pay fewer taxes and beat the 10-loan limit imposed by Fannie Mae?
Here it is... tax-deferred and non-recourse!
Many investors are aware that they can use cash from their IRAs to purchase real estate. Fewer are aware that non-recourse loans are available to do the same.
For those who may be unfamiliar with the concept, a non-recourse loan is one where there is no personal guarantee and a loan decision is made based on the income stream of the property.
For the newbie investor, this means you won't need to use your credit or income/debt ratios to qualify for the loan. For the pro, this offers you an opportunity to exceed the Fannie Mae 10-loan limit and have your profits tax-deferred.
For a short list of requirements and to be put in contact with the IRA and tax professionals who can get you started, give us a call at 913-912-3470.

Dwight Goodwin Presents the 2012 Real Estate Market Year in Review for J...
Our final Market Report for 2012 shows a 23% increase in closed sales Year-to-date in Johnson County Kansas. The average sales price county-wide is up 2%, with areas closer in to the Kansas City Metro generally outperforming outlying areas of the county.
Real estate inventory remains much lower than 12 months ago - between 3-5 months in much of the county. In fact, both prices and inventory have stabilized sufficiently to make this the most competitive environment for sellers since 2006. Normally, these numbers would indicate a shift to strictly a sellers' market; however, perpetually low interest rates continue to make this a win-win environment for buyers and sellers alike.
Contact us today at 913-912-3470 to get your questions answered so we can move you forward in 2013!

Dwight Goodwin says "Stop, Look and Listen" before Waiting for Spring to...
Home sellers will want to consider staying in the market this fall and winter. Conventional wisdom often suggests there are fewer home buyers in late fall and winter, leading many sellers to take their homes off the market and wait for spring.
While home inventory did drop 30-40 percent last winter, home sales increased dramatically in the same period. Many of those who stayed in the market SOLD their homes quickly and were able to take advantage of the spring listing period to buy their next home.
The latest statistics released on October 15, 2012, show that a seasonal slowdown may already be occurring. One indicator is that Johnson County home sales for September mirrored the closed home sales from September of 2011. Another? A month ago, closed sales were up 24% YTD; this month the data indicates closed sales are up 21% YTD.
The skeptical seller might say that the decrease above is a good reason to follow conventional wisdom and wait it out until spring. What is missing in the picture is the fact that there is under three months of inventory in the marketplace county wide (and buyer demand remains high). Even the slower areas of Johnson County are under four months of home inventory - a far cry from the 6-9 months we were experiencing just a year ago.
Call us today for an evaluation of your home and neighborhood (913-912-3470) and let's get your house SOLD sooner rather than later!

Dwight Goodwin on the Continued Market Shift in Johnson County KS - Sept 2012
A huge market shift continues to occur in the Johnson County KS real estate market. A significant drop in homes being listed (down 22% YTD) coupled with a great rate environment for buyers has resulted in a huge increase in closed sales (up 24% YTD) in the local real estate market.
Just one year ago, many areas in the county had 7-9 months of home inventory and buyers were king. While buyers are still big winners due to the low interest rate environment and 5+ years of price declines, sellers with sufficient equity are now able to move their houses more quickly at terms more favorable.
The average Days on Market are down 30 days per listing in the last six months, sales prices are up an average of 1.5% county wide YTD, the percent of original listing price received is up 2.1%, and multiple offers are occurring on a more regular basis.
Contact Dwight Goodwin at 913-912-3470 for a full analysis of your Johnson County KS home to see how this changing real estate market affects your bottom line.

Dwight Goodwin on The Perfect Storm for Buyers and Sellers in Johnson Co...
Low interest rates have led to signficantly higher home sales Year-to-Date in Johnson County Kansas. With inventory decreasing to only a 4 1/2 month supply of homes county-wide, the average sales price is up 3% over just 12 months ago.
Market conditions have created the Perfect Storm for buyers and sellers. Sellers are in a better position now than the past several years because inventory is shrinking and prices are rising; buyers win because interest rates are so incredibly low that the rebound in housing prices is having little impact on them finding the right home at the right price for their families.
Whether a seller or a buyer, now is the time to take advantage of this phenomenal real estate market. Call us today at 913-912-3470.
