If you have the credit score.

If you have the patience.

If you have the (healthy) down payment.

You should make your next home a multi unit. Here are four reasons why:

1. They can pay for themselves with the rents of the other tenants.

2. Adult children are coming back home, and leaving home later. Instead of sharing bathrooms and kitchens in large single family homes, multi units allow everyone to have their own personal space.

3. If there are 4 or less units you can still qualify with a conventional, FHA, or VA loan.

4. You get to pick your next door neighbor(s).

East Point, GA (30344) is not cool. East point will never be trendy. At best East Point will always be the next, next hot neighborhood of Atlanta. That, my friends, is a good thing. East Point is steady. It is growing. And, like the title of the post says, it is AWESOME.

Here are a few reasons you should consider making East Point as your next home: Read the rest of this entry »

There was a great article in today’s San Francisco Chronicle, that details a mother-son real estate team in the Bay Area. CLICK HERE TO READ THE ARTICLE. 

There story mirrors that of my mother Sharon, and myself. 

Sharon has been a broker for more than 18 years. Before I started Emory she dropped the hint about the real estate broker. On more than one occasion I got “gifts”; books on real estate. It took a while but I finally listened. We are going to make a fortune in Real Estate by combining my mom’s street smarts and experience, with my love of marketing, technology, and Turner tenacity.

Thank you mom for being patient.

Love,

Boarded up houses are ugly.

They bring down property values of neighboring properties.

And did I mention, they are ugly?

I’ve been thinking of ways to combat this growing problem. Below is one solution. I call it UNBOARDED. I would love your feedback.

I read this post recently from Seth Godin. CLICK HERE.

He has advice for real estate agents: Quit.

If you decide to stay in real estate then you need to be the best in your niche.

Our niche at Sharon Kay Turner Realty is the tri-cities. College Park. East Point. Hapeville. 30344.30343.30342. No one will beat us here. Our goal by the end of the year is to be the number #1 listing in google for the terms “East Point”, “College Park”, and “Hapeville”.

I’ll keep you updated.

Love,
