Here’s a quick video testing a nifty little tripod that has “wrap around” legs allowing you to mount a small camera/video reorder in all sorts of places.

Greatly improves the safety factor of driving while videoing!

Trashed Foreclosure - Episode #2

by Jay on January 19, 2009

Today we venture out to a foreclosure property in Agritopia, a lovely subdivision in Gilbert, AZ.

Many foreclosure properties are in poor shape. (Though some are pristine — you have to be careful!).

This particular property is listed for $349,000. Comparable properties are in the $400 - $450K range. A buyer has to decide if they have the funds, time and patience to return a home like this to its former self.

And good luck getting a loan.

I don’t understand the thought process in gutting a home before you leave. I understand that foreclosure is an emotional event, but what was done to this home amounts to grand larceny in my opinion. The previous owner had no right to removed the items they did.

It’s an experiment folks. Who knows where it will end up.

Thoughts and suggestions — The Good, The Bad and The Ugly — are always appreciated.

by Jay on January 12, 2009

Greetings!

Please stand by while we get things sorted out around here.

I really have no idea where this is going, but as you can probably tell by the “.tv” in the URL (and the header graphic) this will be the Phoenix Real Estate Guy “video blog” spot.

In some form or another.

What will we talk about?

Why real estate, naturally. Mainly Phoenix real estate, but there is little doubt there will be real estate industry insight as well.

And yes, the occasional random musing will almost certainly enter the picture.

Phoenix Real Estate Guy TV - your spot for authentic real estate!
