Purchasing a second home now allows you to close midwinter and gives you the opportunity to prepare the property for use in the upcoming year.  This is especially important if you plan on placing the home in a rental management program. You can take the list of preparedness, do your shopping and be ready to go.Contractors will also appreciate the off season work and you will not be stuck in the middle of a busy contractors schedule. They will be able to commit to your project completely and you may even receive a better price from the contractor. If you plan on carrying a mortgage or borrowing against the equity in your primary property, interest rates are still unbelievably low.

What ? Sometimes sellers have no idea of the value of their property and other times they think they know and those numbers are just off the charts.  That is when I ask them " Oh, so do you want me to sell your home or your neighbors home that is for sale?" Believe me, this line is not accepted very well - as they say "the truth can hurt" and this is an example of where it is so true. 00:15:00Lakefront Living by Marynolakefront,keuka lake,canandaigua lake,real estate,finger lakesSometimes sellers have no idea of the value of their property and other times they think they know and those numbers are just off the charts.  That is when I ahttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/marysaintgeorge/2011/07/03/keuka-lake-business-opportunitiesReal Estatehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/marysaintgeorge/2011/07/03/keuka-lake-business-opportunities/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/marysaintgeorge/2011/07/03/keuka-lake-business-opportunitiesSun, 03 Jul 2011 22:00:00 GMTKeuka Lake Business Opportunities Keuka Lake is has less businesses on its actual shoreline than you would think..  There are a few lakefront restaurants, one has closed and become a residence, another is for sale, one has been opened under new management with plans to excell and open a hotel directly next door. Therer are so many other avenues an investor courld turn to and even better, be able to operate seasonally.   There are no bakeries other than what you would find in the local grocery store, no concierge services.  There are fast food places, you know like pizza and a McDonalds and rumor has it, there will soon be an Italian restaurant opeing in the newly renovated Garrett Winery building.    Some of the seasonal businesses I can think of are the ice cream stops such as Seneca farms and Macs Dairy Bar  and the Go Kart business.   Head down to Hammondport and you will find a ton of neat stores to browse in - you will probably find something interesting to purchase. 00:22:00Lakefront Living by Marynobusiness,lakefront,keuka lake,seasonal,real estateKeuka Lake is has less businesses on its actual shoreline than you would think..  There are a few lakefront restaurants, one has closed and become a residence,http://www.blogtalkradio.com/marysaintgeorge/2011/04/23/lakefront-property-in-the-finger-lakes-investment-optionReal Estatehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/marysaintgeorge/2011/04/23/lakefront-property-in-the-finger-lakes-investment-option/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/marysaintgeorge/2011/04/23/lakefront-property-in-the-finger-lakes-investment-optionSat, 23 Apr 2011 17:30:00 GMTLakefront Property in the Finger Lakes -Investment Option Everyone that visits the Finger Lakes, falls in love with the area.  Those of us that live in the area, sometimes forget how beautiful the landscape portrays itself.  We forget about the lakes and the waterfalls and streams.  What about thst great out of the way restaurant, or the neat little antiques shop we almost drove by, but ended up making a purchase that will be a favorite forever? There is just so much to say about the area and it is all positive.  Ask anyone that has ever moved from the area.  They all want to come back, if not for a summer home purchase, at least a visit. Well by purchasing a lakefront home, you may be able to enjoy and create equity as well as cash flow to put towards the expense of the property.   Many buyers focus on properties that are already in a rental management program.  The rental histories are available and the clientele has been developed already.  There is a "honeymoon" period for homes new to the rental programs as they have not developed clients that are repeat renters. But then again,the new owners will then have the optionto enjoy trheir new purchase with friends and famil.  And believe me, once everyone finds out you have purchase a Finger Lakes property they will come. Even with homes in existing programs, you want to insure you look at all expenses, not just those recorded by the agency that handles your property.  This information should not be a deal breaker but a reality check. There are a few rental management companies in the Finger Lakes such as Premier Properties, Finger Lakes Getaways, Remax Diversified and many more smaller companies usually local to one specific lake.  Another way to manage your investmemnt property, is to handle it yourself through programs such as Vacation Rentals by owner.  00:15:00Lakefront Living by MarynoFinger Lakes,Keuka Lake,Cananadaigua Lake,Mary St George,Vacation property investmentsEveryone that visits the Finger Lakes, falls in love with the area.  Those of us that live in the area, sometimes forget how beautiful the landscape portrays ihttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/marysaintgeorge/2010/12/20/lakefront-marys-market-snapshot-on-the-finger-lakesReal Estatehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/marysaintgeorge/2010/12/20/lakefront-marys-market-snapshot-on-the-finger-lakes/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/marysaintgeorge/2010/12/20/lakefront-marys-market-snapshot-on-the-finger-lakesMon, 20 Dec 2010 17:30:00 GMTLakefront Marys Market Snapshot on the Finger LakesKeuka Lake statistics how many properties are on the market, what has sold what price range days on market00:15:00Lakefront Living by MarynoKeuka Lake,Lakefront,Real Estate,Vacation Homes,WaterfrontKeuka Lake statistics how many properties are on the market, what has sold what price range days on markethttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/marysaintgeorge/2010/11/22/winter-activities-in-the-finger-lakesReal Estatehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/marysaintgeorge/2010/11/22/winter-activities-in-the-finger-lakes/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/marysaintgeorge/2010/11/22/winter-activities-in-the-finger-lakesMon, 22 Nov 2010 18:00:00 GMTLakefront Marys Market Snapshot on the Finger LakesI will be talking with my broker about the types of properties to invest in.
