Austin, Texas – May 4th, 2009 — Real estate expert, Kenn Renner, on May 9, 2009, will present two timely seminars at the Avery Ranch community (1) First Time Home Buying and (2) Protesting Your Property Tax Bill.

The seminar presentation that begins at 2 P.M. is two of his most popular presentations in his American Dream Seminar Series – (www.AmericanDreamSeminars.com). The first seminar will be “Secrets to Buying Your First Home,” which will cover realities of today’s real estate market and what he describes as the “Perfect Opportunity” to buy a first home. He will explore:

•    The reasons why home ownership is a great financial move,
•    The 10 steps to the home buying process, as well as the truth about the home mortgage market.
•    Opportunities in foreclosures, short sales and REO property will also be revealed.
•    Students will learn techniques to renegotiate a lease and/or reducing or eliminating penalties associated with leases.
•    Of critical importance, Kenn will discuss the $8000 first time homebuyer tax credit.

Kenn is deeply involved in the Avery Ranch community. He has helped over 200 families become Avery Ranch residents – far more than any other broker. “I have been an advocate for Avery Ranch since it’s opening in 2000. I prepared my home-buying clients to get involved with Avery long before it ever opened for home sales. The day DR Horton opened the subdivision I had 17 purchase contracts on the table. Believe it or not – prices in Avery Ranch started in the 130’s for a brand new home.” Renner adds, “I continue to support Avery Ranch by educating first time and move up home buyers about this great area.”

At 4 P.M. Kenn will present his second seminar presentation, “Texas Property Tax Reform & Protesting Your Tax Bill.” This timely seminar will cover the new property tax reform laws as well as secrets of how to effectively protest your property tax bill. He will be providing a workbook on the subject of property taxes in Texas and a case study of an actual property tax protest. Kenn adds, “if a home owner feels that the county has assessed their property incorrectly, I will provide a free property tax analysis to help them with their property tax protest.”

The seminars highly informative and they are free. Renner concludes, “This is an opportunity for me to give back to the community and to help share my 25 years of real estate experience in a casual and comfortable atmosphere.”

Austin, Texas – December 9, 2008 — Top Austin Real Estate Broker, Kenn Renner (www.BuyAustin.com), in conjunction with Keller Williams Realty Lake Travis Market Center, has created a new website specifically geared to helping sellers needing to liquidate their property as soon as possible. The new website, www.AustinFireSale.com, will feature properties that are at least 10 to 20% below current market value. Kenn will also feature HUD foreclosures and REO (Real Estate Owned) properties, as well.

“Although my intention when taking a listing is to get the seller the maximum price on their property, there are times when a seller must sell and a discounted price is the best price to accomplish that objective,” Kenn mentions. “I have two properties right now that need to be liquidated — one is in Lakeway with an incredible 10 mile view listed for $199,900 with comparable properties selling in the $230-240,000 range and the other is located in North Austin that is an estate sale that was listed originally at $267,000 and is now being liquidated at a price of $210,000. Both properties would be great for first time home buyers, investors, or empty nesters who would like a one story plan,” adds Renner.

Kenn Renner, who is a national speaker and one of Central Texas’ top real estate brokers concludes, “We are in a shifting real estate market; now buyers have the upper hand. So, when selling a property, pricing and staging strategies are incredibly important along with extreme marketing exposure. Having the right real estate professional — whether buying or selling — is critical in this market; buyers and sellers should never try to ‘go-it-alone.’ I am a firm believer in educating and counseling my clients; I try to see into the future by observing and studying the trends of the past and the trends of today and price ahead of the market. I am always an optimist, but I am also a realist. My advice is:  if you don’t ‘need’ to sell, then stay out of the market. If you ‘need’ to sell, then get with an experienced, top-selling real estate agent and price your home right. On the other hand, if you are in the market to purchase a home—enjoy the great selection of homes that this ‘buyer’s market’ has to offer. With interest rates nearing the 5% level on 30-year-fixed mortgages and the new tax incentives being offered, there is no better time in recent history to buy a home.”

This week’s below-market properties featured on www.AustinFireSale.com are as follows:

44 White Magnolia, Austin, Texas, 78734 (Lakeway). One Story, 1615 square foot, three bedroom, two bath built in 2005. Located in the Preserve at Lakeway with a 10-mile view over the Hill Country. Situated in Lake Travis ISD and just 5 minutes to the new Hill Country Galleria.

However, there is a whole world of investment opportunity outside of the traditional stock market, but many investors are not trained or educated that it even exists.

Most quote-unquote savvy investors diversify their retirement portfolios and they are 100% control of where their money is invested.  They don’t  leave their money over to someone else to manage or worse yet don’t have control over where their money is invested.  This is one of those times in financial history you don’t want to leave your money or investment decisions over to others, who after all, may not have your best financial interests at heart.

Millions of Americans have left the investment of their money over to someone else without truly understanding what is going on with the markets.  Most investors will lose money during this tumultuous time in the stock market.

SunwestTrust.com allows one to truly diversify their retirement portfolio not just in stocks, bonds and mutual funds, but also into alternative assets.  Check out this self directed ira video on Sunwest Trust.

Sunwest Trust is just a custodian for your retirement funds.  They are not investment advisors so they don’t offer investment advice or make investment recommendations.  They do; however, open up options which allow you to invest your retirement funds into alternative assets directly such as certain types of gold coins, bullion, real estate foreclosures, and tax liens.

A self directed IRA allows you to diversify your retirement savings as you see fit. This means that you can buy tax liens with your IRA, diversify your IRA to include real estate investments and even include a 401K rollover into your IRA. Sunwest Trust makes this possible because they act as a custodian for your IRA.

It is never too soon to start investing for your retirement. While many people choose conventional means of investing, such as stock market investing, others are realizing that it is best to diversify your IRA. Your IRA is your security for the future and you never want to put it entirely in one financial vehicle. You want to diversify it as much as possible. The trouble is that many investment counselors will invest your IRA into funds that may not have your best interests at heart. They are often investing in mutual funds or stocks that can be somewhat risky. If the stock market crashes, there goes your retirement savings.

When you use a self directed IRA, you can use a company like Sunwest Trust to hold the IRA as a custodian for you as you direct where you want to invest your retirement money. This enables you to still get the tax benefits of an IRA account, but have some control over the investing. Right now, for example, is a perfect time to buy tax liens with an IRA because there are so many on the market. Or invest in real estate as the prices are rock bottom. There are many options when you have a self directed IRA that you can take advantage of that will enable you to make wise long term investments.

Visit www.SunwestTrust.com to learn more about how you can let your self directed IRA work for you and keep your retirement savings secure as well as diversified.
