Property Managers - Idaho Falls Idaho

I have dealt with quite a few property managers in my career as a real estate broker and there is probably only one that I would say stands out head and shoulders above the rest.

The reason I like http://www.ifrentals.com is it is managed by Clint. He is very personable, and does things the right way.

They charge 10%, but they don't take half of your first months rent.

Also, I work with him in conjuction of my rent to own program. He has several homes that he does lease options as you will see.

That is where I come in. Clint will rent you the home, and I can write up the lease option and represent you as the buyer. The seller benefits because he really didn't want to rent the home anyway, he wanted to sell it.

So if you need time to fix your credit. Go to http://www.ifrentals.com and pick a property. Tell Clint that you would like to rent to own and that you are working with Burke Bennett.

I can help you with all the contracts, get you financing, have my banker help you fix your credit, and even possibly get you a grant to buy the home.

I look forward to working with you.

Thanks Burke Bennett

Modern Plumbing in Rigby Idaho

After calling several people for a bigger than average job on one of my rentals, I called Modern Plumbing in Rigby, Idaho.

Let's just say they were about $2800 cheaper than the last guy that must have thought I was just loaded with money.

After discussing some of the options, I agreed to dig out some concrete, and they would do the rest. They will do the concrete work for you, however, if that does need to be done.

I was really impressed with how helpful the guy was that they sent out.

He didn't just give us a bid, and say this is the way it is. He gave us plenty of options, and we picked the one that fit our needs. Here is their contact info below.

Modern Plumbing & Heating Inc,
3939 East North 240
Rigby, ID 83442-
Phone: (208) 745-7021

Thanks,

KC Kuttler of Patriot Lending

1844 1st StIdaho Falls, ID 83401(208) 552-1141

KC Kuttler of Patriot Lending has done over 100 loans and prequals for me. I recommend him because he actually picks up his phone and is fast and efficient.

You can pick what ever banker you want, but how many of you struggle to get the banker to even pick up the phone?

You can shop the competition and KC will beat their prices.

KC can get you grants, or help you get the best financing possible for your situation. If you are a first time home buyer, you will qualify for several programs.

Give KC at call at 208 406 3834 and tell him Burke Bennett sent you for the best possible deal.

Thanks Burke Bennett

ABC Plumbing

ABC Plumbing
4316 E 107 N
Idaho Falls, ID 83401
(208) 542-5144

I have had multiple plumbing problems over the years. One of the companies I stumbled onto when I lived clear out in Roberts was ABC plumbing.

I was impressed that they were willing to drive out to Roberts and they wouldn't charge me outrageous fees for doing so.

Now that I live in Ucon, they live 2 blocks away from me. Roger and Amy Cushman are honest people and will do a good job.

They pretty much service existing plumbing. They don't do extensive plumbing projects, but can fix sinks, toilets, water heaters etc.

My kids do 4 H lambs with their kids. They really are the best plumbing company for home repairs in the valley.

AAA Sewer Service

This week I had a certain plumbing company here is SE Idaho give me a bid on a job that they said would cost $3500.

Triple AAA sewer came out. Mike told me that I needed to call ABC Plumbing and that the job wouldn't cost any where close to that.

He also said that it wasn't a sewer problem at all.

I was really shocked that this other plumbing agency would be about $3000 off the price and would recommend doing a bunch of unnecessary repair.

So if you want someone honest and need someone who is going to quote you the right price give Mike a call at Triple AAA sewer.

Building your team

If someone tells me they are a self-made millionaire, I 'm skeptical.

A lot of my success has come from building a huge network in SE Idaho.

You might want to start thinking about who is already on your team, and who you are lacking.

Part of the goal of this blog is to write about people in the community that can help you with whatever you need.

Who is your lawyer, property manager, banker, title company, mentor, hard money, home inspector, electrician, plumber, document server, tax accountant, and on and on and on?

You can almost hire anyone to do anything. Working with a team can help you accomplish far more than you ever thought working by yourself.

One of the most important members on my team is my banker. Without him, I couldn't get funding for any of my deals.

I will expand on my team of professionals' services in a later blog.

I look forward to working with you.

Thanks, Burke Bennett
