Summer's here and it's hot as a Cat on a Hot Tin Roof

Weather here is much like Rome, Italy. Just returned from a cruise from Barcelona, to Tunisia, ports near Rome and Florence, then to En Province in France. It's nice to be back in Parkfairfax. It's green, breezy, not too close to the monuments AND the employment is higher in the DC metro area. The johnANDjohn TEAM is aware there are many that are economically challenger, including people very close to us. I'm sure you're aware of those miliary families & support staff who have loved-ones living in danger. We're going to have an entire generation of people who were involved with war AND we need to be ready, financially and mentally to help.

This is one reason why home ownership is so important. Why pay someone's mortgage other than your own. Sure, some of us own properties that are worth less than we paid. This is normal in every generation of home ownership. Guess what, like the weather in Washington, this will change. Hold on to your properties, if possible. You'll be happy you did. How much longer until properties are worth more than they were? 2 more years, 3? What do you think?

For you tenants in Parkfairfax, please call The johnANDjohn TEAM where you're ready to buy; in Parkfairfax or outside. Experience is key in this market. Not that I'm not proud to have tenants in my clients' rental properties; but BUY while the interest rates are so low.

Even with 20+ properties for sale at this time; there are few compared to the 1600+ units in Parkairfax. You have a choice! Take advantage!!!
