Foreclosure freeze holds open door of opportunity

Augie — Tue, 12 Oct 2010 15:57:47 +0000

Three major banks are freezing foreclosures, and in turn, are giving distressed homeowners extra time (often months) to remain in their homes and stall the process of being removed from their home. However, this new development also is threatening to gridlock already fragile home sales in a fragile market. REOs (“Real Estate Owned”) properties comprise [...]

When there’s blood in the water…smell opportunity!

Augie — Fri, 08 Oct 2010 17:37:15 +0000

The latest mess in the mortgage, foreclosure and banking industries is the fact that title insurers are backing away from foreclosed properties. One of my title companies shot me an email about the fact that one of their closings was stopped in mid-stream when the underwriter called to pull the plug on a JP Morgan/Chase [...]

How to beat the banks at their own game

Augie — Tue, 05 Oct 2010 16:19:25 +0000

When the banks won’t lend, why not beat them at their own game and lend from yourself? Or better yet, coordinate deals where you bring together private lenders with underperforming investments, and pair them with below-market real estate properties? The playing field has changed my friends, and for those who know how to take advantage [...]

Profits Without Ownership: Sandwich Lease Options

You may be asking yourself, “What’s a sandwich lease option?” It’s an incredible financial instrument for creating profits without ownership. Let me explain. It gets its name for the way everything is structured between the seller, you (the investor), and the tenant-buyer. You step in and negotiate a long-term option agreement with the seller, which [...]

What’s the Capital of Taxes?

Augie — Mon, 17 May 2010 14:14:35 +0000

The real estate industry is still very fragile and likely to remain so. In better times, the real estate industry would be a dynamic engine of job creation. Any new tax burdens on real estate owners will impair and delay further recovery. These proposals are ill-advised, inopportune and potentially destructive. Please take action today to tell Congress "No New Real Estate Tax Burdens".

How Much Are You Really Worth?

Augie — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 06:35:08 +0000

We've all heard of the time-value of money, but have you ever thought about the time-value of you? If I could sell you an hour of your own time, would it be worth $5.00? The real question is, what is your time really worth? What's the time-value of you? To earn $100,000 a year you need to earn about $50 an hour, assuming a 40 hour work week. That means anything you do that is worth less than $50, or that someone else could have done it for less that $50, is costing you money! The most common challenge I hear from entrepreneurs and small business owners today is that their task list seems to grow and grow. They feel stressed and overwhelmed. That's where a trained Virtual Assistant comes in.
