HubMob Weekly topic: Real Estate

1. 82

   Princessaposted 15 years ago

   Good morning HubMobsters:
   
   A big thanks to all of you who took part on last week's HubMob.  I was happy to see so many new HubMobsters joining in the fun. 
   
   For this week we are going into more serious Hubs, the HubMob topic for this week is: Real Estate
   
   
   
   I am sure we all have something to say about it, whether you own, rent or still bunk in with your parents, we all have our stories, some comical, some tragic, but all of them full of interesting information that could be valuable for anyone looking online for Real Estate. 
   
   Some ideas for a real Estate Hubmob are:
   
   - Real Estate in your area: prices, quality...
   - Best places in ______ to buy a house
   - Buying your first home
   - Property management
   - Best time to sell and buy a house
   - Buying property as an investment
   - Choosing a Real estate agent
   - Finding your dream property
   - Steps involved in buying a property: appraisals, down payments, taxes, commissions; inspections...
   - Mortgages: best deals, how to get a mortgage,
   - Insurance: property insurance, mortgage insurance...
   - Buying vs. renting property
   - International real estate
   - Owning a second home
   - Most expensive countries to buy property
   - Benefits of owning: a house, an apartment, a condominium or a mobile home.
   - Timeshare property
   - Buying from plans
   - How to sell your property fast and for a good price
   - Capital gains tax
   - Building your own house
   - Foreclosures: Are they a good deal? How does it work? Where to find them?
   
   To join this week's HubMob please follow the steps below:
   
   1. Come up with an amazing idea to write your Real Estate HubMob
   
   2. After you come up with your topic idea, click this link and answer the Request that I entered in for all of you HubMobsters.
   
   3. Choose a relevant title for your HubMob and feel free to use the tags that I suggested and add your own tags.  To get a good ranking in the search engines make your title relevant to your hub content and avoid starting your title with "Weekly HubMob"
   
   4. Choose a relevant category for your HubMob
   
   5. Write an awesomely comprehensive Hub that completely covers your topic idea.
   
   4. Include the  HubMob RSS Feed in your hub: http://hubpages.com/request/11185/best/?rss
   
   5. Add the HubMob image above specially made by ProCW for the occasion to your Hub so that everyone who reads it will know that it is part of the official HubMob topic of the week.
   
   6. After you publish your HubMob Hub, come back to the forum and post a link to your hub with a brief description of what you wrote about and why.  Take advantage of the free publicity!
   
   7. Keep track of your Hub and keep us updated on any traffic that you're getting.
   
   Yep, that's about it - have fun writing your HubMob Hub this week and please let us all know if you have any questions. Have fun, you crazy HubMobsters.

      Sorry, but it has to be submitted through Princessa's "Answer this request" link (not sure what she called it this week).  It won't show up in the RSS feed otherwise.
      
      You can either write another one, or copy and paste this one into a new hub that follows the HubMob rules.  If you do that, don't forget to delete the first one and add the HubMob graphic and feed.
      
      If you need any help, Abhishnek, just let us know.

   HubMob Reminder
   
   just a few reminders for the new HubMobsters who want to join in the fun.  Please make sure to follow ALL the steps at the start of this forum post so your HubMob counts as an actual HubMob.
   
   1) ALL Hubmobs must be answered using the click this link and answer the Request link.  That way YOUR Hub will be automatically included in the RSS feed as part of the HubMob.
   
   2) YOU MUST include the graphic for this week.  It is up to you where do you place it, but you must include it in your HubMob.
   
   3) You MUST include the RSS feed http://hubpages.com/request/11185/best/?rss
   
   4) Come back to the forum and post a link to your HubMob so we all know about it.
   
   
   Please let us know if you have any questions. 
   Thanks for being a HubMobster

    Okay.  I wrote one on how to choose a Realtor.  This is my first HubMob, so I hope I did everything correctly:
    
    http://hubpages.com/hub/choosing-the-right-realtor
    
    In the interest of full disclosure, I had been working on this one for about a week and published it under a slightly different title a few days ago.  I edited a couple of things for this one and have since deleted the original hub.  Hope this is still in the spirit of the exercise.  If not, please let me know...

       The hubs are always in the feed, but don't get posted to the HubMob hub until I check in here and then do the hub capsules to set them up and post them.  I'm just starting yours now.
