Mohave Valley AZ Real Estate – 2200 E Courtwright Rd – Mini Ranch on 5.03 Acres FOR SALE

Mohave Valley AZ Real Estate – 2200 E Courtwright Rd – Mini Ranch on 5.03 Acres FOR SALE

It used to be that Colorado River homes on acreage were easy to find and cheap to buy . . . then, developers came in and split up large parcels into tracts of homes, making it rare and costly to find horse property at an affordable price–if at all. When you do, expect dirt roads, water tanks, fixer uppers and civilization in the distance.

That is great for some, indeed.

But if you are looking for a Mohave Valley home that is move-in ready, on acreage, on a main thoroughfare between 2 Colorado River boat launches with easy access and all the conveniences . . .

THIS IS IT.

And at a GREAT price!

2200 E Courtwright Road, Mohave Valley AZ 86440 is a 1988, ground set multi-wide 1750 SF Cavco manufactured home with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths on 5.03 acres with frontage on both Courtwright and Warwick for easy, paved access to the entire property. This home has its own well, new in 2006, new AC in 2008 and electric and propane for heating, cooking etc.

Inside, a roomy and open floorplan ideal for entertaining – a large breakfast bar and informal dining and a formal dining room that could easily convert to an office, den or even a fourth bedroom.

Split bedrooms at the end of a long hallway allow privacy for guests.

There is a detached, 28 foot deep garage for toys, AND a covered 60 ft long carport for more vehicles.

The entire parcel is cleared and parklike for picnics, barbecues or  . . . use your imagination.

The back patio is fenced, with additional storage and even a tiled ‘Arizona room’ for your pet!

You will LOVE relaxing on your own Arizona mini-ranch, with plenty of room for lots of guests and family.

This property is offered at a market-realistic, REDUCED PRICE OF 169,900 with cash or conventional financing the preferred terms. This property can be financed and we have ample resources. Just ask.

Apx 10 minutes east, fisherman’s paradise Topock Marina.

Apx 10 minutes west, golf and launch at Jack Smith Park in Needles, CA. Easy access from I-40 and about a half hour’s drive to Lake Havasu.

About 20 minutes away, all the shopping, services and resorts in Bullhead City and Fort Mohave.

And about 30 minutes north, the casino resorts of Laughlin NV.

Truly affordable Bullhead City area waterfront land is available for purchase with no fuss, no muss – BANK OWNED and the bank may finance OAC!

10733 S. Shimmering Way, Mohave Valley AZ 86440 a waterfront custom homesite with 71 feet of crystal blue frontage on The Coves On The Colorado River‘s man made lakes, is now exclusively offered for sale.

The Coves On The Colorado River is a beautiful, gated custom homes only subdivision located in Mohave Valley, AZ, south of Bullhead City and across the Colorado River from Needles, CA’s Jack Smith Park.

The subdivision is one of only a select few with a gated, private community boat launch on the Colorado River.

The HOA dues are 110 a month, much lower than many of the gated communities in the Bullhead City area and as low as a third of some of the other waterfront subdivisions. And with the well-maintained water features and river access, it’s a great value. (The channels allow only electric and row boats – gas powered boats may launch on the River, from the community launch)

For HOA information, call the HOA management company – Ranch Kidz at 928-754-5222

Ask us about local builders. (They are not all created equal, but we know the great ones.)

The water views are stunning in both locations. The land is level with utilities in or easily available. There are NO build deadlines – you may buy and build or invest and hold. Whatever makes sense!

Land in this subdivision was initially very pricey, but a rash of REO and distress sales drove the prices down for a time.

Now, however, the distressed properties are bought up, prices are trending back up, and this is one of the least expensive lots currently offered in the Coves, offered at a VERY reasonable $74,900.00.

The REO bank will consider financing a qualified buyer. Contact us for details.

Can you buy on the River in a custom waterfront subdivision without breaking the bank?

Yes you can.

We love deals that make sense.

Bank Owned REO OREO Mohave County Commercial Real Estate For Sale – Topock Golden Shores Commercial Real Estate – Preferred Mini-Storage – 12911 S Cerro Colorado

Bank Owned REO OREO Mohave County Commercial Real Estate For Sale – Topock Golden Shores Commercial Real Estate – Preferred Mini-Storage – 12911 S Cerro Colorado

 

Starting up a small business can be risky and costly in these trying times.

You need to have a good amount of working capital. Equipment. Staff. And time.

Usually.

But perhaps not always.

Preferred Mini Storage, an OREO (commercial bank-owned) 27 unit mini-storage facility in Topock/Golden Shores, located at 12911 S Cerro Colorado Dr, Topock AZ 86436 could be the perfect start up for someone with a little money and a little time to invest in building a business.

It’s a 3429 SF, 3 building mini storage facility built in 1993 . . . just blocks off the easy-to-find corner of Mohave Valley Hwy (Courtwright Rd) and Golden Shores Parkway. It’s located right in the center of town, near the fire station, restaurants, post office and other Topock services.

It’s a business you can operate with low overhead, minimal time and energy.

Since the bank took over, many of the units are not rented (if you need storage there, the prices can’t be beat and we are offering rent specials-contact me to grab a space!) but the potential rental income is around 16,000 a year and the CAP rate, a VERY buyer-friendly 20%

The list price of 76,900 is a good 25% under market.

The bank may also finance a qualified buyer. Contact me for details.

Boaters, skiiers and anglers have Lake Havasu and Lake Mohave within a half hour to 45 minutes in either direction, and it’s a 5 minute hop to fisherman’s paradise Topock Marina (shown here, complete with tongue-in-cheek sign) :)

So what better service than to provide than inexpensive storage for their stuff?

Why not start 2012 with a brand new business in a great location along the beautiful Colorado River?

Definitely a deal that makes sense.

Our favorite kind.

Bullhead City Real Estate – Lamenting “The One That Got Away”

I occasionally come across consumers who are unable to get past the house that they didn’t get.

They can’t seem to get it out of their mind. They compare everything else to that one lost opportunity.

Many of them will blame their agent. Sometimes, that may be true, sadly.

But more often than not, it is because:

  • they took too long to decide, and someone else who was able to move fast snagged it
  • they made an unrealistic offer, thinking the seller was obligated to negotiate
  • it was a short sale and lost to foreclosure, or
  • the bank countered at a price they wouldn’t pay–even though they loved the house
  • they were too picky about small stuff
  • they were not playing for a win-win and the seller rejected their offer outright
  • they were looking at homes before they were ready, willing and able to buy

I understand disappointment and even heartbreak. And the last thing we ever want is a sad client!

And yeah, some things are just not fair.

But you have no choice except to move on, adjust your expectations and realize that perfect doesn’t exist except in a skewed hindsight perception.

You can’t even BUILD perfect (although you can come close and it will cost you)

If you see a home that fits 80-90% of your criteria, and you really love it, you can bet that someone out there is also eyeing it too. So take your best shot out of the gate and give a little to get a lot!

What you CAN do that is very empowering is be:

  1. prepared
  2. ready to move in an instant, and
  3. realistic about your choices, budget and the market

I don’t like the cliche, “if it’s meant to be”, either. Even if sometimes it is true.

I feel that more is within our control than outside it.

Part of that control is being willing and able to see clearly what you have to work with!

Still. like a jilted lover whose subsequent choices just never ‘measure up’ . . .

. . . if you are stuck in the “one that got away” rut . . .

don’t be surprised if you end up with nothing.

Because that kind of attitude is a self-fulfilling prophecy that will suspend and disable you.

Shake it off and work with your agent on a game plan.

Otherwise, you might just be lamenting about the ‘great agent who got away’ too.

Sometimes the most powerful magic is simply a shift in perception.

Let us help you get what you want.

Horse Property On The Colorado River – Mohave Valley Equestrian Luxury Home – 3250 Canal Drive

Mohave Valley AZ Equestrian Luxury Home For Sale – 3250 Canal Drive

It is very rare to find such an elegant, grand Mohave Valley AZ horse peoperty this close to the Colorado River:

3249 and 3250 Canal Drive is a 2640 SF custom built 2006 ranch style home with a 1152 SF manufactured caretaker’s quarters on a 5 acre Mohave Valley agricultural-residential parcel. Set back about a mile from Courtwright Road, the route between Needles, CA and Topock/Golden Shores AZ, you’ll be immediately struck by the elegance and beauty of this oasis at the end of a remote cul-de-sac rural road, far removed from the noise and bustle of our resort towns.

The next thing that will amaze you is how beautiful and pristine the grounds are. The owner’s pride in this unique property is apparent, as the entire property is landscaped and maintained daily.

Low maintenance landscaping and swaying palms make for a gorgeous front yard, but with plenty of exercise and roaming room for critters. There is a 5 stall barn and additional shade for parking or horses near the homes, as well as a cleared, fenced and cross fenced exercise yard. A private well irrigates and services the properties inside and out, and the main house is equipped with a whole-house water filtration system for crystal clear, low-mineral water for the humans. :)

Inside, you will be struck by the large rooms–three bedrooms, three full baths including one in the 1600 SF main house garage, and plenty of shelf and custom cabinet space in these king-sized hallways.

The great room has a huge living area and island kitchen with breakfast bar. See the diamond pattern upgraded tile?

The master and guest bedrooms are oversized, with french doors leading from the master to one of the two house-length patios.

Practically every square foot of the grounds is landscaped and decorated. The only ‘bare land’ is for the livestock.

The caretaker’s quarters is a 1984 manufactured home with its own two bedrooms and two full baths, and a 20 x 30 garage with shop. Perfect for hired hands or guests! Front and back patios let you cool off and enjoy the view–or keep a lookout for visitors.

Not counting the county right of way, the property is 4.68 acres. It’s about 10 minutes in either direction to the Topock Marina or Jack Smith Park launch for you Colorado River boaters and fishermen. About 13 miles away is the new state of the art Valley View Medical Center and another 2 miles to Bullhead City, AZ.

This awesome property is exclusively offered by Next Wave Real Estate Investments at a market-realistic 450,000 (that’s 117 PSF), with cash, FHA, USDA or conventional financing the preferred terms. Qualified, serious buyers can contact me for information and a showing appointment.

Rotary2

The beauty of Arizona’s Colorado River is so easily taken in here. I love to bring Lunapup down to hang out at the park, or do the Veterans Memorial Walk which is about 1.5 miles total. Great exercise for human and pooch!

skateboardpark

As often as possible, we head over to the park, I put Luna on a 20 foot horse lead so she can tool around and I still have her tethered to me. Then I can make calls or check e-mails or just gel.

Today it is sunny and crisp…with lots of ducks and birds and other dogs waiting for Luna to catch up…

Arizona Real Estate ~ The Scariest “M” Word In Real Estate Is NOT Mold…

…it’s Meth.

Mold is icky, that’s for sure. But while mold is a naturally occurring substance and fairly easily remediated, it takes a bit more doing to clear the chemicals used in ‘cooking speed’.

The police will tell you meth is prevalent in large and small towns. Arizona is no exception.

A property where meth has been cooked, the powerful, airborne and potentially lethal chemical toxins allowed to permeate walls, floors and insulation…

…if the place didn’t blow up due to an errant smoker or electrical spark…

can be the ugly gift that keeps on giving.

To you, your buyer, your seller, your tenants, real estate brokers and their clients.

As of July 1, 2003, AZ Revised Statutes required full disclosure to prospective buyers if a property has been used to manufacture meth, ecstasy or LSD. They are also required to hire a drug laboratory site remediation firm that is registered with the State Board of Technical Registration to remediate the property of residual contamination.

Until the site is properly cleaned, it is unlawful for any person other than the owner, landlord or manager to enter the property.

Clean-up requirements and an approved list of drug remediation firms can be found at the Arizona State Board of Technical Registration. The owner is liable for the costs incurred to remediate the property of residual contamination, even if the owner had no knowledge of the criminal activity at the property.

In areas of high contamination, generally all porous materials such as carpet, bedding, upholstered furniture and related items will be removed and disposed of. All stained materials from the laboratory operations, including sheet rock, wood furniture, wood flooring and tile flooring, will be removed and disposed. In areas not highly suggestive of contamination, all materials will be cleaned to meet the post remediation testing requirements. Owners can expect the costs of remediation for minimal damage to range from $500 to $5,000. More extensive damage can cost well over $10,000.

If you go to the AZBTR, you’ll be able to see a list of seized, but as yet unremediated ‘cook houses’.

Fortunately, Bullhead City 86442, Fort Mohave 86426 and Mohave Valley 86440, AZ properties have not appeared on recent lists.

What I find troubling, though, if you peruse the public list, is that many apartment and condo unit addresses are listed.

Do the homeowners just beyond those common walls  — and the building owners — realize they are also at risk?

Mohave County Environmental Health is a good starting resource if you need assistance with meth lab remediation.

More info via Arizona Association of REALTORS on this topic can be found HERE.

Also, some home warranty companies have additional coverage for remediation. Ask around before you select a policy.

You Need Professional Help . . .

Sellers have a little piece of land they bought from their aunt. You know the story . . . gonna build a house on it ‘someday’ which 15 years later did not happen. Life intervenes, doncha know?

Their aunt had originally bought it from her brother in law.

Both aunt and brother in law have been deceased for several years. (Though reportedly, they both were alive at time of purchase) (wink)

Seller did not escrow the purchase, there was no title insurance and he paid the property off in payments NOT serviced by a noteholder servicing company--just straight to the aunt. He has every cancelled check.

A couple of years ago, seller came to me and volunteered that I was his second try–he had hired another local R a couple of years before that and ‘there were title issues’ when they attempted to sell it. Apparently the title issues were insurmountable because the deal died and the seller did not feel confident to return to that broker.

I told him, contact a local real estate attorney and he/she will take you through the required steps to obtain a clear, marketable title that would be insurable with title insurance so he could transfer it. Then, come see me. Gave him a couple of names.

2 years and 5k later, he came back to me . . . it’s done, the atty. said the title is clear.

We put on market, we get a buyer with a QUICK close.

Until the preliminary title report shows that . . .

there is a lien from the aunt’s brother in law to the aunt for what the seller bought it from the aunt for

that was never released.

Remember that aunt and brother in law are dead.

And as you may have guessed, the aunt did not hire an agent, use a title company or obtain title insurance. Just made payments to her brother in law. Maybe.

Brother in law’s first wife is alive; contact her and she will sign what she needs to. But brother in law and first wife each held a 50% interest–and his interest was shared with his second wife, also deceased, who had a daughter. :)

Daughter says sure, she’ll sign a lien release–if you can prove the lien was paid off.

And, the only people who can conclusively prove this ARE DEAD.

In the daughter’s position I would do the same. Who wants to sign away 5 figures of money without proof it isn’t a valid debt?

Back to the attorney the seller goes, to clean up the mess.

When this is all said and done, I suspect seller will have made no money on his transaction. Though the attorneys will.

Moral Of Story:

  • ALWAYS get in writing when you pay anything off. You’ll need a satisfaction of mortgage or a lien release RECORDED with the county of origin.
  • NEVER buy from ANYONE with a note and deed of trust without an escrow, note servicer and title insurance. ESPECIALLY NOT FAMILY.
  • WATCH who you get legal assistance from–and go by referral.
  • And it might not be a bad idea to hire a REALTOR to remind you to do all this stuff!

Riverfront Homes In Bullhead City, AZ 86442 – Riverview Manor And Colorado River Condominiums

Riverfront homes in Bullhead City, AZ 86442 are special and the living simply AWESOME.

The lucky and blessed homeowners who have secured their little piece of the beautiful Colorado River are an elite group, albeit a diverse one.

Retirees, vacationers, high level professionals, seasonals, entertainment personalities and families all enjoy having the River in their back yard.

This is the perfect time to consider Riverfront Homes In Bullhead City, AZ 86442, on Arizona’s mighty Colorado River. There are about a dozen lifestyle choices to fit your needs, in areas as unique and variety-rich as the homeowners who enjoy them.

Bullhead City, Arizona real estate along the Colorado River offerings begin with the easiest living, lowest-maintenance types of Riverfront Homes In Bullhead City, AZ 86442–condominiums.

Riverview Manor Condominiums is one of two newer waterfront condo developments right across from Laughlin NV’s Casino Drive. Riverview Manor is a pristinely kept development with a South Bay, CA feel – the stark contrast of colorful river foilage against the alabaster exterior feels as refreshing and peaceful as it looks.

The gated security of the community insulates you from the outside world along Riverview Manor’s Moser Avenue frontage, but if you’re a people person, there’s plenty of action on the riverfront side of the complex with boat launch, docking, pool, spa, beach and a bird’s eye view of the River Palms (visible in background), Golden Nugget, Harrah’s and Pioneer casinos–and water taxis to get you there and back!

Granite, premium cabinetry and glass block accents, tile floors, fireplaces, designer and stainless appliances and air conditioned boat deep garages are just some of the design amenities you’ll find in these 1400 to 1700 square foot luxury riverfront condominiums with river and casino views from spacious patio balconies.

The Colorado River Condominiums, located just west of Riverview Manor (both in the 200 block of Moser Avenue, Bullhead City AZ 86442), also have beautiful riverfront view units for those who are more into the earthiness of a southwestern design in sienna and gold tones. They are also a mid-2000s development with modern upgrades and conveniences to please Bullhead City waterfront home shoppers. Like their neighbor to the east, they also boast boat dock, launch, gated entry, spa and easy transit to gaming, shopping and other services.

Even a grassy island picnic area to enjoy family outings or watch the glorious Arizona sunsets with someone you love.

The HOA dues range from 250 to 300 a month. Colorado River Condominiums HOA is managed by Buck Reynolds; and Riverview Manor, by QMC.

Prices range from the mid 300s to mid 500s. Currently there are 5 units available in the two developments combined, and there have been 7 closed sales and are 4 pending sales since the first of the year.

Spring and Summer are River ON Season . . . and inventory is expected to be even more limited in these desirable Bullhead City Colorado riverfront subdivisions as prices begin to climb.

If you’re interested in making one of these fabulous developments YOUR river home or investment property, give me a shout. I’m easy to find . . .
