The Paco the Realtor Podcast

I did an open house this past weekend and was reminded why we do this job. A child reminded about the emotional side of this business.  The emotional side is more important than the numbers. 

Welcome to the wild, wild world of real estate! In this episode, we meet our hero - a seller who's in a bit of a pickle. His home is located in the not-so-great part of town, and let's just say it's seen better days. Squatters, drug dealers, destroyed property - you name it, this home has got it all. But never fear, because our seller has enlisted me, the master of real estate flips, to help him out. Unfortunately, even with my expertise, we can't seem to sell this disaster house with the current situation. That's where our creative solution comes in. In true partnership form (cue dramatic music), I offer to evict the troublesome tenants and remodel the home. And here's the kicker - I'll only do it if our hero shares in the profits! Talk about being a real partner in crime or should I say real estate? wink wink But let me tell you, things did not go smoothly. Turns out those pesky squatters were also drug dealers and using buckets as toilets (gross!). And for some reason, they wanted cash to leave but refused to do so on their own. insert eye roll One tenant even fought us and we had to take them to court! But wait, there's more - people stole building materials during the remodel and let's just say cleaning up after that garage full of animal waste was not exactly fun. Yet through all these obstacles (and probably some tears), we prevailed! We evicted those tenants and turned that disaster house into a dream home. Our hero was finally able to sell his investment property and make some serious moolah. So there you have it folks - sometimes being a real estate hero means facing squatters and drug dealers head-on. But with a little wit, sarcasm, and determination (and maybe some face masks), anything is possible. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more wild real estate adventures!

Client asked me why i picked this career cause I seem like a smart man.  She was suggesting I could do better.  Let me explain why I chose this career and how to tell the difference between a licensed Realtor and a Realtor who is an expert.

Corporate America wants YOU to believe that buying a house is the worst investment ever!  They couldn't be more wrong!  Buying a home is still one of the best ways to build wealth from nothing.  The principles are the same, even if the message has changed - don't fall for it folks!  #RealEstate #MoneyTalks #InvestmentGoals

Yo fui su chofer mientras les enseNaba casas que querian comprar.

I've had 5 calls in the last few months alone from clients whose monthly payments range from a whopping $750-2300! With these payments so high, some have decided to sell their homes and use the equity towards their student loan. Has anyone else been in this situation? Selling wasn't always a great option - let me know if you need someone to talk it through with and explore your options!

Real estate is very expensive right now and rates are over 7% at the moment.  It has forced  lenders to get creative. 

I was showing a house to some clients and after 15 minutes, we made a terrifying discovery - what we thought was a dead body! We were shocked and frozen in fear. When reality finally set in, we screamed and ran out of the house as fast as we could. Never an experience I want to repeat again...
