Save Seller Financing – Did You Post Your Comment? Do It Now!

Augie — Tue, 19 Jul 2011 15:50:07 +0000

Only a few days remain to post your comment on the proposed rule changes that could be the death knell for seller financing. You can post your here http://1.usa.gov/pF9Fv0. The comments I submitted can be found below: The SAFE ACT intended to protect consumers from big businesses and I applaud these efforts whenever they accomplish what they set out to do. My concern is when unintended consequences arise and citizens, American property owners as well as future American property owners, can actually be harmed. I am requesting that private individuals be exempted from the proposed rules changes and submit the following comment.

Another fear, and one I experienced during childhood, was fear of being judged. I grew up in one those households where if you brought home a 98, the only question that was asked was, “Did anybody get 100?” The 98 I got right wasn’t nearly as important as the two I got wrong. Fear of [...]

What are the reasons that investors advertise? You may say to get leads, find sellers, find buyers, or to market yourself. Those are all good reasons, but the main reason an investor advertises is to get the phone to ring. Until it rings, we don’t know if there’s anybody out there in the world and [...]

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 [...]

What can we say to our elected officials in Washington?

Augie — Mon, 03 May 2010 16:06:44 +0000

We have made huge strides in raising awareness on why Congress needs to de-couple seller financing from HR 4173, and why the Senate needs to de-couple it from S 3217. These bills are designed to protect individual consumers from big companies who are misleading the public. The current language endangers the very consumers it seeks [...]

The Secret to Avoiding a Bad Investment in the Current Real Estate Market

Augie — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 19:37:59 +0000
