Lake Vacation Homes

Lakevacation2 My friend is building a home on Center Hill Lake as part of a secluded community with beautiful views.  The photo is of the actual property viewed from our boat.  I am watching his house being built each time I am there (home located at bottom right).

Once complete, he will have the option of putting it in a lake vacation rental plan or keep it just to his family and friends.  As the second home market continues to grow in Tennessee, this is not a bad idea for investment in real estate.

For more information, contact Kim Alexander at Bob Parks Realty or Lake Vacation Management.

Middle Tennessee Investments

Considering an investment in real estate?  One of the smartest business decisions that I made in running my real estate business was to begin to build a retirement plan through investing in residential real estate.  From tax advantages to appreciation, real estate remains a fantastic investment opportunity.  A couple of agents at Bob Parks Realty have created a fantastic new blog site devoted to investing in Middle Tennessee.  Visit them here.  Ask your favorite real estate agent about investing in real estate or give these guys a call.

No Bubble in Nashville

  Images45 Nashville's healthy real estate market continues to get raving reviews.  Housing Predictor, a website that prides itself on providing "Independent Real Estate Market Forecasts" placed Nashville 11th out of 250 cities nationwide for projected appreciation in 2007.  View their website here.

They do note the Nashville market has cooled in recent months, but expect the summer and fall to be healthy, therefore leading to an overall increase in the market strength.
