Every time the holidays roll around, the age-old question arises in the minds of people considering putting their home on the market. Should I sell now or wait until after all the rush is over? Selling your home during the holidays can be a good time for several reasons, and another way for you to showcase its best features to buyers.

Here are some considerations for going ahead with the sale of your home:

1. Buyers are motivated if they are looking at this time of year. While the holiday season is busy for most people, buyers appreciate the fact that there may be less competition for a home that they want to purchase.

2. The First Time Buyers Tax Credit has been extended to April 30, 2010 with expanded options. The Step Up Home Buyers $6,500 Tax Credit for people with higher incomes is also available until April.

3. Remember that the holidays center around two significant days for many people – Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. For those who celebrate the Jewish holiday, Hanukkah extends for eight days in December. However, for most days during the season itself, people carry on with their normal lives and if they are in the process of buying a new home, they will use the slower time to house hunt.

4. January becomes a busy time again with competition heating up as more homes come on, or back on the market.

5. People will understand if you are not available on a day or two for holiday family commitments, but will probably want to schedule a showing as soon as possible.

6. Showing your home to fewer people in this slow season means less disruption to your schedule. The ones who are looking are most likely serious about buying your home.

7. House hunters will appreciate a warm, well-lit place to get out of the cold weather. Keeping your house warm and inviting could entice buyers as they imagine themselves living in such a welcoming home.

8. Your home will look festive and have plenty of curb appeal, even if the weather is dreary. Keep the outdoor decorations to a minimum to avoid clutter.

If you decide to take the plunge and get your home listed during the festive holiday season, you never know what type of present you will receive for your efforts! Ultimately, it will be the sale of your home.

The perception of real estate syndication is pretty simple. I characterize it as matchmaking.Think about it: A matchmaker or dating service finds out the needs of two uncommon parties and matches them up for a fee.
Real estate syndication is commonly made up of investors who be inflicted with money to buy commercial property but do not have the expertise required to close deals. They want to limit their exposure and minimize their risk and they do so by spreading their money amongst a number of deals and in a number of syndicates rather than just one.
You, as the real estate syndicator, put the deal collectively and receive a momentous share of the profits (between 20% and 50%) without having to invest your own money. Using your real estate knowledge and negotiating skills, you will drive the whole commercial property business syndication model forward and close more deals.
By operating this way you can:
Become a major player in the market without risking any of your own capital
Build an amazing reputation
Do more deals by leveraging this perception
Create a fortune for yourself without using your own money
In other terms, when you transform your commercial property business into a syndicator, you create a win/win/win for all involved.
More Specifically Real Estate Investing Syndication Allows You To:
1. Create a HIGHER VOLUME of deals without extra effort on your part
2. Generate a GREATR FREQUENCY of profit as syndicating your real estate investing business will enable you to systematize your transaction so deal making becomes a chronic cycle so you be inflicted with a repeatable business model that grows geometrically
3. Get MORE done in LESS time to generate extra profit
4. Yield MORE WEALTH with LITTLE RISK in a short period of time.

Enterprise Homes Celebrates Groundbreaking of The Greens at Hammonds Lane in Anne Arundel County

Enterprise Homes, Inc. today joined Anne Arundel County Executive John R. Leopold, Anne Arundel County Councilman Daryl D. Jones, Executive Director with Arundel Community Services, Inc.

The United States is in the midst of a physician shortage that is expected to intensify as baby boomers age and the need for health care grows. There are several factors that are causing this problem, the shrinking economy, the aging population and finally the impending health care “reform”.

It is estimated that as many as one-third of today’s practicing physicians will retire by 2020. There are about 650,000 practicing physicians of all specialties and more than half of them are primary care physicians. There is particular concern about primary care shortages in the near future as older physicians retire and younger ones seek other opportunities than primary care.

American Academy of Family Physicians suggests there will be a shortage of 40,000 primary care doctors (Family Practice jobs, Internal Medicine jobs, Pediatric jobs and OB/GYN) by 2020. Added to this shortage is the fact that the number of medical students choosing primary care as a profession has already dropped by 51.8% since 1997, and that currently only 2% of medical school graduates choose primary care as a career. The drop in interest in primary care is likely a response to the significantly higher salaries that sub specialists like Radiologists and Cardiologists are receiving.

Economy and Aging Population

With the recession and massive job loss across the country has had a direct impact on the revenue stream to physicians. When people lose their job, they also lose their healthcare benefits and so access to healthcare. Obviously, this is felt more in some parts of the country than others but since most hospitals are part of regional or national chains they are all affected by this. This should mitigate some shortages short term.

The recent stock market collapse has had a major impact on older physicians’ decisions. Many doctors are postponing retirement because of the economy’s impact on their retirement savings. But even a three- to five-year delay won’t address the impending loss of experienced physicians. This postponement has resulted in fewer jobs being offered and graduating residents not finding as many opportunities as before. Residents rather than committing themselves to less desirable jobs now, are opting for locum tenens jobs and waiting before committing to full time employment. So for the short term, it appears there are fewer good jobs available.

Health Insurance Reform

Another uncertainty is the outcome of national health reform. If the health care reform actually works in increasing the enrollment into healthcare insurance then the long term the aging population and these increased numbers should push demand for services and therefore cost higher. However, no one yet knows what will happen to reimbursement rates from Medicare. Already there has been some lowering of rates they pay in Radiology which has directly impacted that specialty. The question is will there be morerates cut to affect all specialties.

Because of these and other factors many physician practices are holding off making any decisions until they have a better idea of how the health reform will impact these reimbursements

We provide physicians with as many opportunities as possible and hospitals the most cost effective way to promote their opportunity.
