10 Years And Counting

Last week I celebrated my 10 year wedding anniversary to the most wonderful, beautiful woman in the world.

Seriously, somehow – someway the “love” Gods were smiling on me or something – maybe the moon, stars all aligned at once- and bam!

I remember it like it was yesterday….

Stomach in knots, sweaty palms, dry mouth…

And honestly my life has never been the same since meeting her.

You’ve heard about little moments in time – As a matter of fact At&T has a commercial about it right now – where the guy changes his ticket on the subway at the last minute…

Anyway – little moments…

That change you for the rest of your life.  It was pretty remarkable how Laura and I met and I’ll spare you the details – but it was in the lingerie department at retail store.

The last 10 years have been a crazy ride full of strange yet true stories.  I feel totally blessed and I’m looking forward to the next 10 years …

Obama Bans Creative Real Estate Investing

This was an April Fools Joke.obamasignsbillheader3Did you hear about the new real estate ban signed by President Obama earlier today?

In a bizarre, shocking and unexpected move today, President Obama signed a bill today outlawing ALL Creative Real Estate techniques.

The ban will take effect beginning in September 1, 2010.

He followed by saying, “These investors must be dealt with.  And no longer will we tolerate American homeowners being a target of blood hungry real estate investors.”

Obama was hit with some harsh criticisms from the right, leaving real estate investors in complete disbelief.

As far as I can tell- it looks like all wholesaling activities, lease options, and buying homes from homeowners facing foreclosure is a thing of the past beginning Septemeber 1, 2010.

Plus, there will be no more short sales to investors – all short sales must be sold to the person occuping the home.  And to make matters worse – all foreclosure properties can now only be purchased from homeowners planning to live in the home as a personal residence.

Seriously I wished Obama would worry more about the country’s trillion dollar debt, and the war  instead of screwing around with honest real estate investors.

This really gets my blood boiling – I’d love to hear what you think-

But more importantly – what can we do?  I feel we need to band together to fight this new bill.

Let me know what you think – comments are open below-

It’s regarding the deal that One West Bank cooked up with the good ‘ole FDIC for purchasing Indymac’s garbage loans…

It’s a no lose situation for One West while we the tax payers cover the bill!

I feel the screws being put to us as I speak…

Take a look at the video and see for yourself…

Buying Homes At Foreclosure

Just read a really cool article in the Wall Street Journal about flipping properties.

It’s something you don’t typically see in the media – someone actually using the market conditions to make money-

Take a peak here

You mean this stuff actually works?

The fact is there’s still plenty of opportunity – actually more in this market than ever before, however you don’t use the same methods that worked back in the 90’s where you could buy a house and watch the market value double in value in 5 – 10 years.

And the truth is  – in my market I’ve never seen this kind of appreciation.  From day one of buying my first house over 8 years ago, I’ve yet to be involved with an appreciating market.  It’s all been stagnant or depreciating in value.

So, you could say we’re a little used to this right now

There’s more seller leads right now, more banks discounting, and more of the real investors scooping up deals.

Learn to put these three together and you’ve got a recipe for a booming business.
