Here’s how to make big cash in the short sale foreclosure business: it’s all about automation. See, some agents and investors spend months trying to find and close that one high five-figure or even a six-figure deal. Meanwhile, they pass up hundreds of profitable lower-priced foreclosure homes.
Which would you rather do… bust your tail for three months, maybe netting $80,000 on one big score… or would you rather close 8 easy-to-find pre-foreclosures in only one month for a net of $10,000 each? Either way is $80,000. But one takes three months. The other takes only one… and is a whole lot easier.
Here is a system where you don’t have to work hard. In fact, you hardly even work. It’s all done in VOLUME. And how do you do short sales in volume without working your butt off?

THESE HEADLINES ARE MISLEADING!!!
The June 30 closing deadline has not been extended…but it was accepted as an amendment to the Tax Extenders Bill. Under the amendment, borrowers who signed purchase contracts by April 30 would be given three extra months to close their loan and still qualify for the Homebuyer Tax Credit. The new deadline would be September 30, 2010.
In a budget “point of order” vote taken June 16th, the Senate actually voted against the bill that contains the homebuyer tax credit extension amendment. This forces the Senate Finance Committee, chaired by Senator Max Baucus, to rework the overall proposal before another vote is taken.
While this may be a cause of concern for borrowers who are awaiting a clear to close on their loan file, the “unanimous consent agreement” that set up the vote this morning says that any amendments accepted into the Senate Finance committee’s version of the legislation would stand as long as the reworked bill is eventually approved by the Senate. Thus, the homebuyer tax credit closing deadline extension proposed by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid would stand if the Senate agrees on the reworked version of the proposal. This only applies to the Senate. The House would still need to reconcile.

When you compare the real estate downturn to the real estate market in the 1980s, Blumberg Capital Partners, which provides real estate investment management, finds similarities that lead the company to think now is an optimal time to buy. Its analysts point out that the recession of the 1980s lasted 16 months, running from July 1981 to November 1982. Unemployment peaked in November of 1982 at 10.8 percent. From that point it took 38 months for the economy to recover fully and for unemployment to fall below 7 percent. It was another 10 months before unemployment was consistently below 7 percent.
Philip Blumberg, CEO of Blumberg Capital Partners, said in a note to investors that the real estate cycle is still three or four years from an optimal selling period, so now is the time for investors to buy. Source: Blumberg Capital Partners (05/19/2010)

Cities like Des Moines, Iowa; Provo, Utah; and Fort Collins, Colo.; lead our 12th annual list of areas with the most economic opportunity.
The Great Recession ravaged almost every big city across the United States in 2009. Home prices were down in 182 of the 200 largest metro areas, while household incomes fell in 94% of these areas. The employment picture was even tougher: only four areas posted positive job growth with a paltry gain of just 4,300 positions created–combined. The other 196 metros together lost 3.5 million jobs last year. Click here to see the full list.

First and foremost it is not a loan modification. This is a tool to help homeowners get leverage for their short sale approval, workout approval or a principle reduction.
Ask yourself… what would you pay to have your mortgage audited if it meant that there was a chance that it could help reduce your payments an principle reduction?
The #1 goal of the forensic mortgage audit is to determine whether there were violations of federal law. If you would would like a free report on a Forensic Mortgage Audit… Click Here For A Free Report!

Contractors working at properties where lead-based paint is likely will soon have to abide by The Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule goes into effect Thursday and is geared at protecting individuals from harmful lead-based paint. (See EPA info on dangers)
The new rule was enacted after a four-year study found that construction work, such as window replacement, HVAC work, demolition of interior plaster walls, removal of exterior painted siding, and sawing into painted wood exposes both occupants and workers to high levels of airborne lead The EPA notes, the most common manner in which people are exposed to lead is through lead contained in dust.
Under the rule, any renovations, repairs or painting to inside areas greater than 6 square feet and outside areas greater than 20 square feet are subject to the rule.
The Impact:
1) First off homeowners who do their own work are excluded from taking the extra testing and abatement measures. Anyway, the EPA recommends that homeowners follow the procedures in its Renovate Right handout available at http://epa.gov/lead/pubs/renovaterightbrochure.pdf.
2) Contractors working on almost all homes built before 1978 must prove they have the Environmental Protection Agency’s stamp of approval to do the work — or face fines of up to $37,500 a day.
3) Homeowners who are considering buying an older home need to know that any renovations that would be planned will require extra costs if testing proves the presence of lead paint.
4) Some estimate that the extra time and effort required for protecting, cleaning and testing construction areas in pre-1978 homes will add 5 percent to 30 percent in fees on small renovation jobs.
5) Homeowners who have any work done in the future may be scammed by some contractors who say their bids are high because the Government has new rules. You should ask for some inexpensive testing before work is done or suspicious bids are received.
6) It won’t be long before internet scammers are selling test kits aimed at the homeowner that are unreliable. For information on testing in your home visit the EPA site http://www.epa.gov/lead/index.html
7) The number of local certified contractors is growing every day. The current list can be found HERE
