Have you become a Smith Mountain Lake Tire Kicker?

Don’t Worry….In The US Most People Have Become Afraid of Buying Their Dream Home So You Are In VERY GOOD COMPANY!

Have you been looking, and looking and looking and hoping that the prices will drop, or that some mansion will fall into your lap for $400K?

Forget it…you’re kidding yourself and everyone around you…and even if something like that came along…some of you would not be here to scoop it up…there are still hundred of buyers that live here buying properties as they see them…and yet you have—if you email me today,

“The Smith Mountain Lake Edge”…  

 CLICK HERE NOW TO GET STARTED!

Well, I’m here today to try to snap you out of your
lake house shopping coma! haha…. 🙂

It’s amazing that folks that were ready to buy, 2 years ago, haven’t taken advantage of last year’s recession-type pricing and are still waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Listen, 9/11, Katrina, riots in Greece, the Euro Crisis and BP have ALL happened during my watch, and year after year, I watch people put their American Dream on Hold because they are so incredibly paralyzed by the crap that CNN feeds us, that they get to the end of the summer saying…

“Well….maybe next year’s my year…”

hoooooooooo hum….?

I’m literally writing to you today to say:

SNAP OUT OF IT!!!!!

This is YOUR life, and while everyone’s here having fun, you’re still trying to figure out if you’re going to take action sometime this century.

Seriously, I just sold yet, another waterfront gem this week, and those folks will be on the lake on July 15th having barbecues, wake boarding, jetskiing, and chilling on their dock with mojitos. Why?

Because they took inspired action and we looked at 3 dozen homes and started making timed/expiring offers and whoever was the most motivated, took the bait and the rest is history!

What do you need to do to get started?
  • Get a pre-qualifiaction letter from your bank,
  • set $5K aside for your “good faith deposit”–This will be applied 100% toward your closing.
  • BANKS NEED 30-45 DAYS…LET’S GO!!

INTEREST RATES ARE AT AN ALL-TIME LOW AND THERE ARE SOOOOO MANY PRODUCTS YOU CAN USE TO PAY FOR YOUR LAKE HOME…JUST ASK YOUR LOCAL MORTGAGE REP. IF YOU DON’T HAVE ONE, WE HAVE MANY LAKE MORTGAGE REPS HERE, WHO WORK STRICTLY WITH SECOND AND VACATIONS HOMES READY TO HELP YOU!


The summer will be over before you know it, and you will have missed out again! Don’t delay…don’t second guess, when you have that gut feeling that this is the time to get your lake home…even if it’s just your starter lake home…

GO FOR IT!

Some of you….yes, you know who you are, having been “looking” for over 5 years! OUCH! Do you know that bargains you’ve missed?

Seriously, figure out your price range….and let me get you a fresh waterfront home MLS list—but YOU have to give me a logical price range…
fair enough?
I don’t care what your number is, the worst I can tell you is…sorry there is nothing available for that….and you might have to go a little higher…

ALL YOU NEED IS A LITTLE COTTAGE…800-1100 SQ FEET—AND NO…I’M NOT TALKING ABOUT A SINGLEWIDE…to get started. You can find these for under $400K—which is about the price of a waterfront lot. Wouldn’t you want to use it NOW? Why build when you can buy and have an instant vacation????

IT’S ENTIRELY UP TO YOU…BUT AS THAT BOOK TITLE
SO APTLY SAYS…
UH…”EXCUSE ME…YOUR LIFE IS WAITING…”

It’s waiting for you here, at Smith Mountain Lake, Virginia!

Stop dreaming…start living!
Noreen


PS: You’ve already missed the Poker Run, the ESPN Bassmaster’s Tournament Live on ESPN, Memorial Day, and Joyous Junque…a $75K garage sale…

Don’t miss the 4th of July, The Smith Mountain Lake Wine Festival, SML Chili Cook-off and everything in between!

EMAIL ME FOR A  THE LIST OF COTTAGES…THESE ARE THE LEAST EXPENSIVE HOMES WITH GOOD WATER AND ARE NOT IN THE FLOOD PLAIN, NOT SINGLEWIDES OR DOUBLEWIDES…REAL HOUSES!
IF THEY DON’T HAVE A DOCK, THEY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO HAVE ONE, SO BE CAREFUL WITH THAT.

I WILL PERSONALLY SEND YOU A LIST THE DAY I HEAR FROM YOU!

Smith Mountain Lake: Need Rental Income to Offset Your Lake Mortgage

These homes provide “potential” income….

If you’ve ever heard of ( or used)
homeaway.com
then you know the potential power
of a rental….

Don’t get me wrong…
being a landlord isn’t
always amazing….
but if you really don’t care
if strangers use your place
while you’re not there….
and you get some rental income
to off-set your new mortgage….
it works out pretty well for some homes.

99% of these will be in Bedford County, as 
Franklin County has an ordinance prohibiting short-term
vacation rentals unless the subdivision has “resort” status.
(Think Bernard’s Landing…)

How it works:
I’m not in rentals…
you would need to hire a rental company
after purchasing your lake home…

They collect rents, have the home cleaned
and book potential renters via sites like
homeaway and others….

They keep about 25-30% of the profit for the
short-term rental…

You book your own stays around
the bookings to maximize income….

There are about 17 strong rental weeks here…
your typical Memorial Day through Labor Day…
but if you’re creative, you can surely come up 
with holiday specials year-round!

The caveat?

You’ve GOT TO GET ONE BEFORE FEBRUARY 1ST TO MAXIMIZE YOUR POTENTIAL INCOME…THAT GIVES YOU TIME TO CLOSE, CLEAN-UP, HIRE YOUR RENTAL COMPANY, ADVERTISE, ETC….

On 550 miles of shoreline, there are about 50+/- available
(not including doublewides)

That’s not a lot, and in-season 

(that 17 weeks)
Good luck finding one!

All the Best!
Noreen
