10 Real Estate Myths

Sponsored by: Charlottesville 1st-Time Home Buyer

You can get all the information you want about real estate conditions, practices,
and specific properties. But when all is said and done, can you feel comfortable
enough going it all on your own and being absolutely sure of what is fact and what
is fiction?

1. Regardless of the market, it's always good to put money
into a property to bring it up to showing quality.

2. If radon is found to be present in a home, the only way
to be sure cancer is not an issue at all, is to demolish the
building, secure the site, and possibly rebuild.

3. Putting ant traps and spraying around the home with store
bought insecticides, is preferrable to paying a professional
exterminator.

4. An in-law apartment in your home can provide much needed
offsets to your mortgage through monthly rent.

5. Easements on your property are only concerned with things
under ground so you can always plant things or erect sheds
and garages over them.

6. By doing a Short Sale, you are automatically forgiven the
difference between what you still owed and what the home
ultimately sold for.

7. A lawyer must always be involved with every aspect of the
purchase of a mobile home.

8. Real estate commissions offered to Realtors are pre-set by
the Virginia Real Estate Board.

9. Do not waste valuable time, energy, and money fiddling around
with wills, insurance, and savings-get out and buy your first
investment property before you get cold feet, the market changes,
or you get paralyzed with first-timer's fear!

10. Do not buy a home that isn't equipped with a back-up power generator!

Think you know which of these are fact and which is fiction?

Don't do it all by yourself.

Arm yourself with the power of a professional by your side.
