We Are Better Than Banks
Posted on June 23, 2011 by
A study by west coast foreclosure research firm, ForeclosureRadar shows that along the west coast, at least, investors beat out lenders by a substantial margin in selling foreclosed property to end buyers. Buying short sales to flip is a great opportunity for some serious cash flow, and investors are proving to be much more adept at selling these homes than the banks that are foreclosing.
This also applies to homes bought at the foreclosure auction. When investors buy at auction, they take an average of 95 days to resell properties in Arizona, compared to 150 days for lender organizations. In California, auction investors offload foreclosures in 134 days compared to 227 days for banks. Investors move foreclosed property in 102 days in Nevada compared to 177 days for lenders. The comparison in Oregon is 122 days for investors and 208 days for lenders. In Washington investors move foreclosures in 164 days compared to 212 days for banks. Read More→

Don’t Let Fear Stop You From Succeeding!
Posted on June 20, 2011 by
As a real estate investing teacher, way too often, I forget how scared Kim and I were when we first started buying investment real estate. We didn’t know the language, the techniques, the paperwork, the steps – nothing!
For example, in 1997, when we first heard a speaker talk about a creative deal structure called Subject-to deals, I remember writing Kim a note during the presentation that read: No seller would ever agree to this. It’s got to be illegal! Boy, was I wrong. Not only were Subject-to deals legal, they were done all the time.
Fast forward one year: After getting some good been-there-and-done-that education, we were doing Subject-to deals on a regular basis. Heck, when we bought our horse ranch in Adairsville, Georgia, it was a Subject-to deal. Read More→

There Are No Bad Real Estate Markets
Posted on June 10, 2011 by
“Down” and “depressed” – according to the news, that’s the real estate market these days. And thanks to continuing tight credit and sluggish job growth, the United States isn’t likely to see anything like a booming real estate market for many years. But although reports about today’s real estate market sound grim, here’s something you probably haven’t heard: there’s no such thing as a “bad” real estate market. Let’s take a look at some of the patterns the real estate market can fall into, who is hurt by them and who stands to benefit. Read More→

Killer Marketing Videos from Jeff Kaller
Posted on June 8, 2011 byI just loaded a few videos you will not want to miss. A friend of mine is using foreclosure defense strategies to buy houses at steep discounts. Like REALLY STEEP DISCOUNTS. But he is also taking all his dead leads that the sellers do not want to sell no matter what the reason and turning them into cash. So his mail campaigns cost nothing, he gets free leads and uses the attorney group to buy these properties at an absolute steal. It’s a powerful one two punch that helps homeowners and give you a super competitive edge. Need I say more? After the video you can see Jeff live teaching how to live debt free using these Foreclosure defense strategies. Click here to watch these killer videos.
Creative Financing Group Meeting on Wed, June 8th at 6:30 PM
Posted on June 7, 2011 byHow to do “Subject-To” Investing
with Mark Durham & Attorney Bob Witcher
Last month, local real estate expert Don DeRosa introduced our group to “Subject-To” investing. Due to overwhelming demand from our members, this month at our Creative Financing Group meeting on Wednesday, June 8th at 6:30 PM at Champps at 7955 North Point Parkway in Alpharetta, GA (map), subgroup leader and real estate expert Mark Durham and local real estate attorney Robert “Bob” Witcher will discuss in further detail how you can buy houses “subject-to” without qualifying for a loan and with little or no money down. Attorney Witcher will discuss the forms and language you need to use to protect yourself as an investor as well as your seller.
- If you don’t have good credit or a lot of cash to invest, but want to get in the real estate investing game, you can get started by buying houses without qualifying for a loan or having a lot of cash.
- If you’re renting and want to own, or if you’re tired of your current home and want to move, you can buy a beautiful new home in an nice neighborhood and possibly pay less than you are paying in rent or on your current mortgage, without going to the bank for financing.
