Real Estate Investing: Happy 4th of July
As we spend this 4th of July weekend with family and friends, let’s pause for a moment and think about what this Independence Day really means. As our country goes through hard times, let us remember that the sacrifices of those that have gone before us paid so we may enjoy the opportunities and freedoms which make this the best country in the world.
Happy 4th of July to you and yours, and don’t eat too much BBQ.

Real Estate Investing: Should You Buy Title Insurance?
Hello All:
Just a quick post to answer a question I received today. The question: " Should I but title insurance both when buying and selling a property?" You should always buy title insurance on all transactions! You should never just rely on research done by the title company, they are human and can miss something and report the title clean, and when you get ready to sell something from previous owners pops up. If you don't have that insurance -YOU are on the hook! Believe me it happens; it happened to me with the first house I purchased.
So don't forget to buy that insurance, you will be glad you did.
Be well.

Real Estate Investing: Lease Options - Find the Seller’s Sticking Point
As part of my lease option training I teach my students that when you are negotiating with a seller on a lease option deal you’ll find that all sellers have a sticking point. Lease option sellers will have something that means more to them than anything else. Find out what this is so that you can structure a deal that makes them happy while simultaneously meeting your requirements for profitability.
For instance, the price of the home may be more important to some lease option sellers than when they receive it - this can allow you to structure a longer term lease option deal.
Other lease option sellers might want a very specific monthly payment to cover their mortgage nut, but their overall price is negotiable.
Work with each seller to understand what makes them tick, so that you can tailor your lease option offer to suit them best.

Breaking Real Estate News: Foreclosures
Hello All:
I have some breaking news for you on the real estate investing front! Foreclosures for the first quarter of 2010 are up 19% according to CNBC!
You maybe asking yourself how can this be, when the stock market is rallying and breaking the 11,000 mark. Well, it’s simple! Most of the money coming in to the stock market is foreign money, looking to make a quick buck on this temporary stock market rally. Remember, also today we were told that unemployment unexpectedly increased – yeah right.
So what does that mean to you the investor? It means the 3rd wave of foreclosures I have been predicting is starting to come to pass. As always, in any cycle, there is opportunity to be found, if you just look. There will be more short sale, assignment and lease option opportunities for all of us to make a boat load of cash; if you know what you’re doing….

Until next time, may all your deals be profitable.
