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.

Vacationing At The Colorado River ~ Bullhead City, Fort Mohave, Mohave Valley AZ

Spring is here and Summer is coming fast! And Summer in Bullhead City, Fort Mohave and Mohave Valley, AZ is when it really rocks to live here along the Beautiful Colorado River.

We are a resort area and have visitors and vacationers all year round, but there are two particular ‘on seasons’ for our Colorado River towns: Snowbird Fall/Winter and River Rat Spring/Summer.

And River Rat Spring/Summer is upon us.

Are you heading this way, perhaps to buy property in Bullhead City, Fort Mohave or Mohave Valley, AZ?

Planning to spend time vacationing at the Colorado River?

Here’s what you need to know, do and remember:

  • WATER. It is more essential than EVER. Bring plenty of it, drink lots of it, keep it cold.
  • COMPS CARD. If you’re going to be staying in one of our local casino resort hotels, get a player’s club card. The perks are worth it.
  • SUNSCREEN. Even if the sun isn’t shining, you will need skin protection. Especially if you don’t have a ‘base coat’.
  • LAYER clothing. Temperatures can change quickly.
  • CAR SEAT COVERS. You will not like the feel of hot leather seats on your skin.
  • HATS, SUNGLASSES are important. This may be brighter sun than you’re used to.
  • RULES OF THE ROAD. We have photo enforcement. And we are a ZERO tolerance state for DUI drivers.
  • BOAT SAFELY. Every year we lose tourists who neglect boating safety rules and end up hurt, killed or incarcerated. Don’t be one of them.
  • RULES OF ENGAGEMENT. We are friendly and courteous. But we have a short tolerance for disrespect. Give it to get it.
  • TIPPING. This is a ‘right to work state’ with low wages. Tips and gratuities are what pay bills and feed families around here. I’m not saying tip bad service but please tip good service, and tip well for great service.
  • CASINO COURTESY. If you see a player’s club card in a machine and an upside down coin cup on the seat, THAT SEAT IS TAKEN. Change machines have replaced many change people, unfortunately. So players need to leave their machine to go for change. Don’t take their machine. Keep the aisles clear. And be a courteous smoker.
  • PICK UP YOUR TRASH. This should be a no-brainer but the River is NOT the place for your cans or wrappers.
  • PETS. Do NOT leave them in cars while you shop or gamble! They will be hurt or killed. And please pick up after them.
  • GET A MAP. I’ll mail you one if you like. Just ask.

BE SAFE AND HAVE FUN!

Bullhead City Investment Real Estate – 1963 El Monte, Bullhead City AZ 86442 SFR For Sale – NOT a REO NOT a Short Sale!

Bullhead City AZ Investment Real Estate – 1963 El Monte, Bullhead City AZ 86442 – Near-New Home Near River 75,900!

Bullhead City AZ Investment Real Estate can be challenging for investors wanting SFRs for rentals.

Our REO-driven market means many Bullhead City homes are subject to occupancy restrictions for bidding.

Much of the time, investors must wait for a ‘First Look’ or ‘Exclusive’ (you’ve all seen those terms relating to Fannie/Freddie/HUD homes–that’s where only owner-occupant primary residence buyers are allowed to bid) period to expire, only to find that the property is sold.

I’ve written articles about how unfair I think this practice is, for investors AND for Bullhead City vacation home buyers who in the eyes of ‘the Gubmint’ and banks, are investors.

This 2007, very gently used site-built Bullhead City home at 1963 El Monte Dr is not subject to ANY of the restrictions placed on distressed properties . . . because it’s not distressed.

The 3/2/2 1181 SF home is clean as a whistle, with travertine flooring, granite counters and upgraded remote controlled ceiling fans.

A finished garage has room for cars or toys.

AND there is a small pad in front for additional parking.

Location, location! Just behind Mohave Accelerated Learning Center, close to shopping, schools and services at Lakeside and Hancock, not far from most medical services and very, very close to the beautiful Colorado River, this home would be a great vacation home, rental property (we have estimated , though cannot guarantee, rents for properties of this type in this area in the low 600s) or starter home.

Owner, who is also a local investor, can provide disclosures, negotiate and close quickly! We will use a local title company who can be responsive to our needs.

Best of all? Property is priced to move at 75,900. That’s 64 PSF, consistent with recent sales of similar properties in the area.

Cash or conventional financing are preferred. And cooperating with a 1031 Exchange is not a problem.

For more information or to get the offer process going, contact us. You could be closed in time for the Laughlin River Run if you hurry!

See you at the River!

Bullhead City, Fort Mohave, Mohave Valley AZ Commercial Land – Are Commercial Real Estate Investors ‘Diggin’ Land Again?

Bullhead City, Fort Mohave, Mohave Valley AZ Commercial Land – Are Commercial Real Estate Investors ‘Diggin’ Land Again?

Marcus and Millichap’s 2011 Executive Summary indicated second-tier recovery in the Phoenix commercial real estate market by year’s end. That’s also good news for commercial real estate in Bullhead City, Fort Mohave and Mohave Valley, as Mohave County has historically trailed the Phoenix market by six months or so.

 

The CCIM Institute’s Commercial Investment Real Estate Magazine’s July/August 2011 edition had a great article about how savvy commercial real estate investors are getting into land purchases now, while prices are at rock-bottom and there are deals to be made.

 

In the article, a chart shows a 3 year negative trend in land purchases 2.5m + is appearing to reverse.

Might we have seen the bottom?

It’s worth perusing for Arizona real estate investors sifting through opportunities.

If you have cash (financing is tough), take a look at our commercial land on the Colorado River.

The prices are amazing . . . and most of our offerings are available with seller terms to further leverage your investment.

Here’s what’s currently available.

The Willow Valley Marina in Mohave Valley, AZ is unlike any other on this part of the Colorado River, from Lake Mead all the way down to Parker.

Just 8 miles south of Bullhead City, AZ. Willow Valley is a group of communities next to a beautiful guarded, gated private marina with white sandy beaches, picnic cabanas, barbecue area, boat launches, trailer parking, restrooms with pay phone, grass and swaying willow trees, a buoyed off, ‘no wake zone’ swimming area, clubhouse and community center. It’s a great place for just about anyone–families with kids, seasonal visitors and year-round residents.

A tiny piece of Willow Valley land land big enough for a small mobilehome with a carport can list for 40k and up (according to the latest comps) and prices, because of the demand for homes and land in this unique area, stay high–especially in Summer.

But this Willow Valley homesite in the very desirable, very exclusive tiny sub-community of Rio Vista Estates, just a couple of blocks along the southern perimeter of the Evergreen Addition (where many Western and Northwestern ‘River Rats’ own and come down to play in droves) with ALL utilities including city sewer now available, for a VERY competitive 35,000.

That’s the going price for parcels HALF its size!

1116 Laurel Lane is a 7504 SF (+/-) homesite zoned for manufactured or site built homes.

Behind it, Tribal land is used for agricultural purposes — no neighbors behind you, and beautiful views of the wide open spaces! (Picture below shows the land, between the two homes.)On either side, newer, attractive homes as with the rest of this part of the Willow Valley Estates communities. This is a newer part of the subdivision with larger lots, ample space for a custom home with a large garage and lots of room for toys!

And the Willow Valley Marina privileges–boat launches, boat docks, beaches, onsite caretaker, guarded gated entry, clubhouse–convey with the property at a very affordable 67.34 ANNUALLY.

(PHOTOS OF THE MARINA ARE NOT AS VIEWED FROM THE PROPERTY. THERE ARE NO WATERFRONT HOMES OR LAND PARCELS FOR PRIVATE PURCHASE AT THE WILLOW VALLEY MARINA.)

There are no build deadlines. Once ownership is in your name and you’ve picked up your gate keys and boat and vehicle tags, all the marina privileges are yours.

builder resources and even help you get the offer process started ONLINE.

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.

The Value Of A Bullhead City Real Estate Professional

A California broker wrote a post about how so many real estate agents are a waste of money. That got me thinking . . .

In the post and a comment, he said, “When the service becomes available that allows the owner to represent themselves in an efficient manner – THEY WILL . . . when the service I envision becomes available the owners will have access to the information they need to represent themselves efficiently and the paperwork will executed online with unusual/exceptional provisions being reviewed by Real Estate Attorneys for a fee — but these fees will end up being substantially less than the current commissions paid to Realtors.”

I tried to imagine such a service . . . and even though I was 86′d from ‘the thinking box’ a long time ago . . . I couldn’t get there.

I don’t believe that a service will EVER or CAN ever become available that replaces what agent representation provides.

No amount of facts and information, knowledge of statute, level of proficiency in completing paperwork will be able to do that.

The reason is . . .

Information is devoid of emotion.

If the real estate process was completely dispassionate, and owners could truly distance themself from

the home they built a life in . . .

the business they built from nothing . . .

the lifestyle that the piece of land where they would build their dream home on meant to them . . .

the community being relocated to–or away from . . .

the feeling of ego-gratification that comes with ‘bragging rights’ over making a great deal

the agony of buyers’ or sellers’ remorse . . .

Well then . . . maybe.

BUT THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN AS LONG AS PEOPLE HAVE HEARTS, FEELINGS AND EGOS.

Until that wonderful, awful day . . . when we can take a pill that turns our brain into one big left hand side:

  • People will need to be shielded from the actions of those whose plans conflict with theirs.
  • People will need to be insulated from days of hours of minutes of seconds of pure stress when deadlines loom large and everyone’s dropping the ball.
  • People will need their heads realigned when they’re not seeing the whole picture–or the big picture.
  • They’ll need their feet replanted on the ground when they lose sight . . . or touch.
  • They will need to be reminded of the cost and value of intangibles–like opportunity. Or freedom.
  • They’ll need to be comforted when the news is very bad.
  • They’ll need a voice of reason when it’s too good to be true.
  • They’ll need help thinking through or past ‘immediate gratification’
  • They’ll need the call to action when time is the essence.
  • Or someone who knows someone who can fix things when it all hits critical mass.

Show me the computer program that can do that.

Show me a piece of paper that can do that.

We do it every day. It’s a big part of what we do.

So nah. We’re not going anywhere. And information’s been out there for DIYers for years. Didn’t replace us then and won’t now.

We’re not taking a cut in pay either–if anything, we are earning more–because people aren’t averse to paying us. What they want is their money’s worth.

And good agents deliver it.

Bullhead City, Fort Mohave, Mohave Valley AZ Real Estate – Manufactured Home Financing

A fellow Bullhead City AZ, area real estate broker e-mailed me a question:

“I am trying to find lenders for Bullhead City AZ manufactured homes, to assist our buyers, sellers and fellow real estate professionals.”

I started to answer, but the answer was a good Jeopardy-style one–IN THE QUESTION–and it’s not a short one.

If you’re buying or selling a Bullhead City, Fort Mohave or Mohave Valley AZ manufactured or mobile home, whether or not you can get financing, and what type and terms will depend on a number of factors.

THE PROPERTY:

  • Age. On June 15, 1976, HUD stepped in and began to regulate mobile and manufactured homes, requiring specific design and code adherence. This is the ‘line of demarcation’ you will hear when you talk to a lender about financing. “Is it a pre- or post- HUD home?” means is the home newer than June 16, 1976? Very few, if indeed any lenders will touch pre-HUD manufactured homes.
  • Style. Bank statistics have shown over time that the default rate has been far greater for singlewide than multiwide manufactured and mobilehomes. So double and triplewides are far more likely to be conventionally financeable.
  • Occupancy. Will the borrower occupy this home as a primary residence? This makes a difference to lenders. Again, bank default rates are likely the reason.
  • Condition. Appraisal will need to show that the home is in very good condition. If FHA or VA financing, tiedowns oe retrofitting may be required. A concrete foundation, as opposed to a raised one, may be necessary. Often, the home must be in an area not in FEMA Flood Zone A.

THE BORROWER:

  • Creditworthiness. Duh. Guidelines are far more stringent for manufactured homes than their site-built counterparts. Borrowers with ‘marginal’ credit will not be able to wiggle through. And paperwork requirements, verification of assets, income, employment and credit, will be very, very detailed.
  • Terms. Again, guidelines may necessitate larger down payment, higher interest rates and other terms that are less attractive than those for site built homes.

The first thing to do if considering a Bullhead City area manufactured home is talk to a Bullhead City real estate lender with whom you’ve had a long relationship. Guidelines are constantly changing but for a solid borrower buying a new or newer multiwide manufactured home, many banks and mortgage banks do offer manufactured home financing. Talk to your lender and find out what their guidelines are.

In our area, manufactured homes are very popular and some are every bit as well built, energy efficient and drop dead gorgeous as their site built neighbors.

Some, you wouldn’t even know the difference.
