The Hogue Group

Well this is a big week for me. I just had my first closing ever on the 26th at 5:30 and I will have another closing on Friday at 4:00 pm on my listing on Blue Lick.I am looking to get more listing because of the sale. It has taken time to get to the closing table but only took 29 days to get the contract signed. The first home I worked with the buyer about 6 weeks to find the right investment property for him and he is loving the new place to start working on.

Saturday at 2 I have an open house at 8216 Latania Dr and it goes till 4 pm. The house has 3 bedrooms and 1 bath and would make a great starter home or one that wants to expand the basement into a full living area. At a newly reduced price of $119,000 this is a very good bargain in the PRP area. The garage is great and has a gas heater in it as well for all those people who love to have a work shop. I have invited about 47 interested couples to the open house and seen right at 100 homes in the area giving out fliers.

Tomorrow I go into the Crossgate subdivision to spread the word about the open house on Sunday from 2-5 at 1902 Warrington Way. This is really a spectacular home with great hardwood floors, a wondeful view from the backyard, a great finished basement, 2 fireplaces, Florida room and much more. The owners are looking for offers on this property so bring them by this Sunday and I will be glad to get them to the listing agent.

I plan on having an open house every Saturday and Sunday during the summer unless I get so busy showing homes that I just have to put them on hold.

If you are looking for a home in Kentucky or want to sell or trade up on a home in Kentucky give me a call. I can help. This is the best time to buy your dream home.

Today I am holding an open house for a truly spectacular new construction home in Longwood in Goshen Kentucky. Over 3700 square feet of finished space plus a 2800 square feet in an unfinished walkout basement. From the grand entrance way to the private study with fireplace to the chefs kitchen with granite countertops, this house is excellent. Come out and see it today. The address is 13203 Wellington Way. You do not want to miss this one. With a $40k customization fund or 4.25 fixed rate interest this just sweetens the pot for this beautiful home by the people at Paragon Homes. Are you trading up? We may be able to work something out for you on a trade as well.

Last couple of months have been kind of wild for me. 3 times in the hospital over a very large kidney stone, which is now gone, and then a month of heck working to get hackers out of my technology companies servers. That kind of puts things on hold for a while and really puts you behind the 8 ball to get things going in a new career. However I also made 1 listing, 1 colisting, and as of today I have two deals under contract. One is for a property I listed out in Shepherdsville and the other is an investment property for a great new investor over on 19th street.

Anyway, I wanted to get back and let everyone know that this is the best time to sell or buy a house. Buying is the most important right now especially if you are looking for a way to increase your retirement income, pay for college for your kids or just to have another way of increasing your monthly cash flow.

There are flip opportunities out there but I still look at buying and doing simple updates and working on the low income housing market is one that will pay steadier and can show a positive cash flow faster. So many people are having to give up their homes and need a place to live. Apartment living is becoming tighter due to this fact so home rentals and/or lease with a purchase option are viable ways to invest and make money in this market.

The federal government is already working on new programs for low income housing on renovations and new construction to help states to cope with the reduction in housing for low income families.

If you are interested in programs for rehab of homes that could help you finance your improvements vist the HUD site for more information.

And it does not matter if the home is an 80k home or a 500k home those who want can get an 8,000 tax credit for first time home buyers. That means if the income for the household is less than 150,000 per year you can qualify for this free money. Give me a call and I will send you a flier on this by email.

I will be putting in more later on what is going on in the market for Louisville and surrounding areas.
