The real estate market is in a slump, and experts are predicting that this will continue through the rest of the year with only a slow recovery in 2010. The new government is trying to accelerate that process, and seeking to restore value to the housing which many people own.

The cautious will stand back and see how it all shakes out over the coming years. Fervently hoping that their own homes will not become worthless, they warily watch the unfolding of events in a helpless state of disbelief. When the market recovers, and the house prices return to a normal relationship with average incomes, they will congratulate themselves that they were able to hang on.

Meanwhile, those who seized the opportunity and studied the process of real estate investment, including short sales and lease options, will be steadily building their portfolio and accumulating wealth so that the recovery in the housing market will see them positioned as millionaires and able to suit themselv ...

What do you do if you have some money that you want to invest in real estate, or you know that you have good credit and would be able to get a loan on an investment property, but you really don't want to pay the usual asking price for a house in the current housing environment? There is a way that you can buy a house for less than the usual price, but without being involved with a foreclosure auction, which can have drawbacks. After all, we have all heard about foreclosures where the house is trashed by the angry ex-owner on being evicted, and an auction on the courthouse steps can be intimidating, not to mention the problem that you have to pay up in cash immediately.

The alternative to buying at foreclosure if you want to buy a house at a bargain price is called a short sale, and it happens at the pre-foreclosure stage, before the owners have been thrown out. If you do not know much about the process, it can be very helpful to find a mentor to walk you through it once or twice.

Short sales of real estate can be a profitable way of investing, particularly in the current housing market. However, they may not be straightforward, and it can help if you know some short sale secrets.
 
Firstly, you need to find properties that might be eligible for a short sale. This can involve looking at court records, and other investigative work. There are also some services that will assist you in finding suitable houses. The requirements include that the mortgage is greater than the house is now worth, and that the homeowner is in default with his payments, and likely to suffer foreclosure.

Timing to get involved has never been better to get involved in real estate short sales.  However, you may not have heard a lot recently about the so-called “real estate short sale.” You may also have asked yourself: “what is a short sale?” Certainly, with the increase in mortgage delinquencies and foreclosures, there have been many more short sale investing opportunities.

“Short That Sale” Pt. 2: The Sequel?
Yes, I know…usually you hear about a sequel only in the world of movies and cinema but you never know what you are going to get with ‘The Diamond.’ Part of being entertaining is to also be a bit unpredictable and that’s what I’m here to do: educate, motivate and entertain you while I’m at it! 
All of that being said, I’ve been approached by many of you to do an advanced level short sale class. You already know me from the series of events that I’ve made successful such as Quick Profits with Quick Turns, Taking the First Step Workshop, Short That Sale…When the Market’s Stale and of course, Salesmanship, Scripting & the Sh ...

I was thinking the other day about how so many gurus and teachers out there consistently talk about how the key to creating success relies on this phrase of “taking action immediately.” So if it’s so simple, literally as simple as taking action, then why don’t we do that? I happen to agree that the action step is the most important part of any new process whether you’re learning to become a real estate investor or anything else under the sun.

Recently, I took a little inventory in my own life why there is a challenge for everyone in this particular area. During my lifetime, I’ve been able to consistently take action in my life but I’ve found that there have been certain times for me where I’ve been slow to do something and here’s a few of the reasons why I believ ...

I just finished voting this morning and I was able to avoid any lines whatsoever…I guess that’s just another benefit of not having a JOB, right? Now instead of waiting with the rest of the world, you just pick the time you want to do anything and breeze on thru like EZ Pass. Keeps me staying stress free and loving what I do…which brings us to the point of our article here, today’s topic is all about creating momentum in your business.
I am writing specifically about this topic because this entire article came to me yesterday when I was in the shower and it had enough impact on me that I even did a coaching call on the topic of momentum (which you can access under the ‘Diamond Media’ tab at www.DavidOswaldOnline.com) Yes, I guess you can say I’m a multi-media type of guy. If you don’t like readi ...
