Steve was incredibly helpful with my first out-of-state home purchase. As an investment property, his assistance was invaluable—he provided reliable contractors, took videos of the home himself, and was always approachable. Highly recommend for anyone needing a hands-on and supportive agent!
Patrick O.

I worked with Steve on finding my first investment property and he was extremely knowledgeable and helpful during the whole process. He responded quickly and was a joy to work with. He has a ton of referrals and is truly a full-service agent. I plan to continue working with him on future deals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about buying, selling, and investing in real estate. Get clear, concise information to guide your journey.

When selecting a real estate agent, consider their experience, market knowledge, communication style, and client reviews. A good agent should be responsive, transparent, and have a strong understanding of your local market. If you’re buying or selling investment properties, look for someone with expertise in that area.

The best way to determine your property’s value is through a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) conducted by a real estate professional. This compares your home to recently sold properties with similar features in your area. Online home value estimators can provide a rough idea, but they don’t consider unique upgrades or market trends.

Closing costs are fees and expenses paid at the end of a real estate transaction, separate from the property’s purchase price. They typically include loan origination fees, title insurance, appraisal fees, attorney fees, and prepaid property taxes or homeowners insurance.

  • Buyers usually pay for lender-related fees, title insurance, and inspections.
  • Sellers often cover agent commissions, title transfer fees, and any agreed-upon closing costs for the buyer.

The exact costs vary based on location, loan type, and negotiations between the buyer and seller.

The real estate market is influenced by supply and demand. When demand for homes is high and inventory is low, prices tend to rise. Conversely, when there are more homes for sale than buyers, prices typically decrease.

Other key factors that impact home prices include:

  • Interest rates – Lower rates encourage buyers, increasing demand and prices.
  • Economic conditions – A strong economy with job growth supports higher property values.
  • Local development – New businesses, schools, or infrastructure can boost home values.
  • Seasonality – Spring and summer often see higher prices due to increased buyer activity.

Real estate investment can provide long-term wealth through property appreciation, rental income, and tax benefits. It can also act as a hedge against inflation and offer leverage opportunities. However, it requires careful research, good property management, and an understanding of market conditions.

Property taxes are based on your home’s assessed value, which is determined by the county or local assessor. The tax rate varies by location and is used to fund public services such as schools, roads, and emergency services. If you’re unsure about your property tax rate, your real estate agent or local tax office can provide details.

If you’re considering a home in an HOA community, review the HOA fees, rules, and regulations before buying. HOAs maintain common areas, enforce neighborhood standards, and can have restrictions on things like exterior modifications, pets, and rentals. Make sure their policies align with your lifestyle and investment goals.

This $850,000 home didn’t start out beautiful.
It started as an abandoned foreclosure that brought down neighboring property values.

When a wholesaler in Florida locked it up, he did what smart wholesalers do- he called the only investor-focused brokerage in the area. That’s how the deal landed with Amy Bevier, Realtor, one of our agents.

Amy didn’t just pass the deal along.
She ran her own due diligence and activated her investor network, ultimately sourcing two buyers instead of one.

Investors Jason Huber and Sammy Ngure partnered, combining experience and resources to turn a problem property into a family’s perfect Christmas home.

When it came time to sell, Jason and Sammy trusted Amy to handle the listing the way an investor-minded agent should- protecting months of hard work and capital.

Despite hitting the market late in the season, when average days on market are stretching past 40, this home had an accepted offer in under a week, plus multiple backup offers.

That result came from a team of people who provide exceptional services and results that speak for themselves. Megan O'Connell Williamson and her team provided top-notch photography and videos so this house could truly shine. Home Revival Michiana brought the vision to life with elegant staging. And Amy sealed the deal with strategic pricing and a "coming soon" listing that had people lining up at the door.

This is why investors choose St. Joseph Realty Group.
Not just to buy or sell, but to execute deals the right way, with a team that understands risk, upside, and timing.

If you’re an investor, wholesaler, or agent who wants results like this, you need the right ecosystem behind you. Send me a message if you are ready to book your discovery call and make 2026 your best year in real estate. ... See MoreSee Less
