Got any questions???

[IowaRealEstate]

I have arrived! I talked the powers that be into giving me my own forum space.

If you have any questions related to real estate, this is the space to ask.

I might also post some advice pieces about real estate here as well from time to time.

Not a ton of rules to this space other than other no agents posting their properties for sale or marketing themselves. Why? Because they didn't pay for it!

Thanks Fanatics and if I can help, just let me know!

Not really about real estate but do you have any recommendations on deck builders in the metro?

I don't personally have one, but a good place to look for one is on Angie's List. It is a paid site, but if you send me a message I will give you my login info so you can check it out for free.

This may not be your exact area, but I figured I would at least ask and see if you could possibly point me in the right direction.

How would you go about finding out information about renting an apartment/house in a smaller location? Websites like apartments.com or apartment finder maybe list three possibilities in the town I'm looking at, then starts listing of properties in bigger locations around the town I'm looking at. When I know the town I'm looking at is big enough to have well more than three rental choices.

Is Iowa Realty now sharing commissions with KW as they should?

What are the biggest watchouts when doing a 1031 exchange?

 

[IowaRealEstate]

Sorry for the delay. Try crowd sourcing for an answer on that one. Ask on facebook and somebody might have a good suggestion for you.

As far as I know they are still not splitting commission 50/50 but instead giving the KW agent $1 and keeping the rest. Legally, IR does not have to split that commission but it is customary.

That is a great tax question! If you need some good advice, google Ken Tharp and 1031 and you should find him easily. He knows everything about 1031's.
