Daniel F. Lewis _____ From: Julz Brown [mailto:julz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, September 12, 2008 1:45 PM To: Julz Brown Subject: increasing owner-occupied homes in CUF Hello everyone. Daniel Lewis, CUF resident, and I are on a committee that addresses increasing owner-occupied housing in our area. We have put a few things in place over 2008 and have some more ideas that we would like to get the ball rolling on. We are going to start identifying homes that need rehab that are on streets that will most likely sell to an owner-occup. We are going to target the streets that are currently more dense with owner-occupied versus tenants. We plan to distribute this email monthly in addition to the CUF market report that we already put out. Our hope is to have people on our email list forward the email on to people that may be looking for a home or considering looking for one. You may have a friend or co-worker that is looking for a house that never considered our neighborhood and may be pleasantly surprised at what we have to offer! Or know of a rehabber that may be interested in one of the homes for sale on our rehab list. We decided at our last meeting to network with our friends, neighbors and local community groups to try to identify individuals or companies that would be willing to be an investor/rehabber that would do a high quality job at fixing up some of these houses and hopefully get them sold to an owner-occupied. The houses would need to be rehabbed to a point that would attract an owner-occupied. No fly by night rehabbers who just want to flip a property or rehab it to look like another student rental. It would take higher quality cabinets, flooring, appliances, paint colors, landscaping/curb appeal etc. etc. etc. to attract someone that wants to live in it. Because of the cost involved we feel the route to go would be a non-profit company that can utilize local and government funding to assist in the rehab cost. Perhaps there is also funding available that would make it more profitable for an investor that is not a non-profit...I need to research that more..however, I have been utilizing the National Association of Realtors and researching other markets across the country to see what is working and what is not & what is available in the way of funding, etc. This email is getting a bit long..so in closing, if you know of anyone who may be interested in rehabbing please let me know or have them call/email me. I would be happy to meet with them to talk further about the possibilities of what could be done. As a side note, this committee is currently comprised of Dan & I....we would love some help from other members of the community. It does not matter if you are a member of other community groups or not. We just want concerned, loyal Cliftonites that want to help maintain and increase our property values....please let me know if you are interested. Anyone who wishes not to receive these emails please email me to opt out. Thanks, Julz Brown Group Realtors Cell 513.237.1072 Fax 1.866.248.3637 <http://www.sellingcincinnatihomes.com/> www.sellingcincinnatihomes.com some of the houses below may not make sense for rehabbing with the current list price just remember that what the list price is may be completely different than what it is WORTH! There are also multi-families on here that may be good to convert or sold to owner-occupied.
