Mortgage Rates
www.interest.com/rateshopper allows you to comparison shop
mortgage rates in the privacy of your home or office. It's a fairly
comprehensive site, however, it does not replace a good mortgage broker, it
does give you some benchmarks on rates so you have intelligence on the subject
when you're looking for a good mortgage broker.
Rob Cohen and The Valley of the Sun Team chose to work with two of
the best mortgage brokers in the business. They are competitive,
professional and make the mortgage process painless for our clients. They go
the extra mile and we like to think of them as an extension of our
team.

Using the mortgage calculator will give you
a wealth of information, however, there are so many plans available today that
we must recommend a Mortgage consultant who can make sure you have the best
plan that meets your goals. The Cost of Living Calculator is a great tool to
evaluate the difference between where you live today and where you want to live
tomorrow. Of course, there is much more to it than a calculator could tell you.
One needs to weigh the Quality of Life, the ambience, the schools, the
proximity to other areas and attractions. And only you can calculate the value
of people that are important to you? These tools will give you a great start
and a good benchmark to help you with your analysis. If you have any questions,
we're but a phone call or email away.

Bargain Properties >Tips for First Time Investors
When starting out as a real estate investor, you can choose either the conservative approach of holding a property until it increases in value or the riskier approach of "flipping" - reselling very soon after making some improvements that add value. If you plan on taking the safer approach, keep the following factors in mind when searching for the right investment property.
Look for a house or apartment unit that is close to where you live, so inspecting the property and overseeing maintenance will be easier. Choose an area where there is clear potential for future development, and you will benefit from the inevitable increase in property values. If you have the choice of either buying a newly built or recently remodeled home or a less expensive house in the same neighborhood that needs a cosmetic makeover, buy the bargain property and upgrade it for a better long-term return on your investment.
