PS. Here’s my previous email which prompted this call...

1. If you have property to sell, here are some pointers from a mortgager broker we talked with this week...

Rather than reducing the price, you could offer Seller Assistance in the form of a 6% contribution to the buyer, which then goes to reducing their mortgage payment the first couple of years.

2. He also suggested raising the buyer’s brokers commission one point and giving a credit for custom counter tops and tile flooring.  He was most helpful - our meeting lasted 2 hours and he came highly recommended. I’d be pleased to share his name if anyone needs him. If you have more than 10 loans out there in your name, he has other sources of funding and more creative ways to sell property than any other mortgage broker I’ve worked with.

3. Last week we attended a Maui Millionaires Foreclosure Workshop run by David Finkel, learned much and exchanged many other interesting points with the attendees. Banks are taking back properties left, right and center now, but it’s only the tip of the iceberg. So if you have property to sell or rent, it’s probably a good idea to do anything you can to get it moved now, BEFORE the competition gets even more fierce.

4. Bulk purchases are becoming the thing now for single family houses. Banks are selling them for 65 cents on the dollar, while other investors are claiming to sell them for 25 and 30 cents on the dollar. I was told that in Maricopa County/Phoenix, there were about 2000 bank owned properties that went to the auction block LAST MONTH and only about 200 were purchased. That means that 90% of those properties will still sit on the books of the bank, and they MUST get rid of them some way – thus the bulk sales. As you may have heard on the news yesterday, 25 of the old timers who worked for the government during the 80’s Resolution Trust (RTC) days when they sold homes from Savings and Loan Portfolios at huge discounts, are BEING HIRED BACK!!! You can read yesterday’s EconomyGuy.com online for more info on that one, but hang onto your hats, and get your property moving now.

5. Let me know if you want to share more info on this subject. I’m thinking of organizing a conference call in the next few days – maybe Saturday morning – so that we can share info about opportunities and roadblocks we face as investors right now. So watch for an announcement after I hear from you.

All best,
Christine
