Happy Thanksgiving!
I love this Holiday and whether you celebrate Thanksgiving or not
I wanted you know that I am grateful for you, for your
friendship, loyalty and business.
Whatever your tradition, whatever favorite foods you enjoy,
whomever you spend the day with--I wish you a Happy Thanksgiving,
with plenty of time for reflecting, sharing with others, and
enjoying the day.
Truly, you are the best!
Be well.

Breaking Real Estate News: Foreclosures
Hello All:
James Gage here with breaking real estate investing news; it seems Florida has put foreclosures on the fast track!According to CNN, Duval County (which is Jacksonville) has hired retired Judges to push foreclosures along at record speed. It seems Duval County along with others state wide are getting rid of the foreclosure backlog by having these hired Judges rule on Foreclosures from filing to sale at an average of 2 minutes per case! The average Judge will hear and render a decision on a whopping 35 or more cases a day.
Sounds to me like there will be a lot of challenges going on at the Florida Supreme Court level to these retired Judges verdicts. Is it me or does anyone else think that the bank and or mortgage companies have something to do with this process? I understand the frustration on both sides of the coin, but I was always taught if you are going to do something make sure you do it right the first time, and it seems to me that 2 minute hearings don't fit the bill.
As for us real estate investors, this means it's time to brush up on our REO strategies.
Until next time be well and to your success.

Breaking Real Estate News: Foreclosures
Hello All:
According to CNBC on Friday, another banking giant has placed a hold on foreclosures in 23 states! Who is that giant? JP Morgan! As in the other banking institutions, this does not mean they will not do any short sales, rather they will be very selective and turn around times might be a little longer then normal. This is where your negotiating skills come in - you have to be at the top of your game with every submission.
To learn how you can take your negotiating skills and turn them into seed money for your real estate transactions please visit: www.NegotiatingForALiving.com
Be well and happy investing.

Foreclosure News: GMAC
Hello All:
GMAC announced today that they are halting all foreclosures and issuing a hold on selling all REO (Real Estate Owned) properties! What doe this mean? It means that they have finally seen the light!!! They have figured out that the more foreclosed properties they flood into the market for sale, the less money they will make on these properties because of market saturation. Is this a good move on their part? I say No!
My logic is this, a little bit of something, is better then a whole lot of nothing. What I mean to say is, that what are you going to do with these properties, hold them for the next 25 years, waiting for the housing market to improve? The way I see it the housing market will not rebound until unemployment retracts, government clues us in on the tax structure after January 2011, and we start supporting and encouraging small businesses to flourish.
So, in conclusion, I would say that short sales are still possible with GMAC you just have to be at the top of your Negotiating game.
