Thinking of moving to the Village of Palatine - Northern Illinois? Some info.

 Park in Palatine IL

Thinking of moving to or buying a home in Palatine IlllinoisPalatine is located about 28 miles Northwest of downtown Chicago and just 14 miles to O'hare Airport.  Palatines neighboring towns are Deer Park, Barrington, Inverness, Arlington Heights, Rolling Meadows, Schaumburg and Hoffman Estates

 subdivision in Palatine il

There has been a huge population growth in Palatine (now over 66000), because of it's location, diversity and beauty.  Palatines first settlers arrived in the early 1830's from New York and New England.  They made their homes in what is now known as Deer Grove, Plum Grove, Englishmans Grove and Highland Grove in the lush groves of trees which are abundant even today in Palatine.

Palatine shows their great pride in their history by preserving as much of the old charm as possible.  Visit the George Clayson House built in 1873 filled with over 1000 treasures listed in the National Register of Historic Places when in town.  The train runs through the town of Palatine with a newly renovated station and town surrounding with plenty of homes and townhomes for convenient access.

North IL - Barrington, Deer Park, Lake Zurich, Palatine areas now is a great time to Buy!

 investment best buy homes for sale

Now is a great time to purchase Investment property in the Deer Park, Barrington, Palatine, Lake Zurich and surrounding areas.  We have a daily changing list of "Best Buys" or properties that would be great rental or investment propertiesHomes in Barrington, Lake Zurich, Palatine, Deer Park and surrounding areas are on sale now and many can produce a nice "Cash flow" and/or retirement account.

rental home cashflow

Cash-flowis not always the easiest to achieve, many investors of real estate look to achieve no cash-flow at the end of the month, just a break even and want the tax advantages and equity to build.  Now that homes for saleare at a low, cash-flow is easier than it has been in the past few years.  If you take a fixed rate mortgage and start at out at zero cash-flow at the beginning, as the years go by and you keep your expenses down, your rents go up and so does your cash-flow.

Other considerations to include as far as expenses are concerned are: Repairs (upfront and continuing), legal fees, accounting fees, vacancy, management fees (if you are not going to do that yourself), ads for renters etc.  I have found that directional signs to the property and signs on the rental are the best draw for renters.

If you are considering an investment property in the Barrington, Deer Park, Lake Zurich, Palatine, Schaumburg or surrounding areas, contact us for a list of properties that would fit into your investment plan.  We also have a great book by Gary Keller called "The Millionaire Real Estate Investor" that is packed with information about investing from A to Z we can get to you.  We also have great knowledge to share with you or can point you in the right direction if we do not have the answers you are looking for.

Real Estate Tips
Selling Your Home >Showing Your Home

Real estate agents typically want the properties we market to look spotless and wonderful. However, the sellers eventually find that keeping their house in prime showing condition begins to wear thin after a few weeks for even the most impeccable housekeepers.

It is a lot of work to keep the beds perpetually made, the kitchen and bathrooms spotless and closets neat. Is it worth the effort? It is--if you want to sell your house for top dollar in a reasonable amount of time. Buyers often see normal clutter, and what registers is "this house hasn't been maintained." They see bathtub rings and think "plumber's bills." Dirt under the radiators causes them to imagine having to replace the entire heating and air conditioning system. People are often functioning more on emotion than logic when selecting a house. You can help your broker by minimizing the amount of imagination that buyers will need in order to fall in love with your home.
