Big Announcement and a Word from "Bob", the Hard Money Lender

Big thanks to my secret Hard Money Lender, "Bob" to explain why hard money lenders really don't like gap funders to file a 2nd position on a property.  Many of the guru's out there teach this as a "no money" strategy in real estate investing.  However, I've seen this work, and I can understand why it wouldn't.

We discussed alternatives to secure secure the gap funder's position in a property that doesn't include filing a lien on the property.

Plus the BIG announcement - Join me in Chicago December 6-8 for another Rehabbing Remotely field trip.  This one is a little different so come to the field trip if you're new at real estate investing, and come to the "Intensive" if you're ready to buy.

I Hear Little Housing Bubbles Pop within the Real Estate Market!

Fascinating call tonight talking about the recent change in the market.  While we've watched the hedge funds enter the real estate market, pay ridiculous prices for properties, pent up demand realizing they need to buy now before interest rates go up and now?  All of a sudden?  There's an increase in inventory and sales are slowing down.

Great discussion as we enter one of these housing markets for the next field trip in Seattle.  Luckily, my Special Guest for the Seattle Field Trip, Mark Pantak, was on the call and offered some critical learning points.

So What Happens to Properties Acquired During Fraud?

There are times that some information is just so powerful, so informative that I withhold those calls ONLY as a bonus for those that come to the "Rehabbing Remotely" Field Trips (Next one coming in Florida, February 22-24).

I debated a little on this one, because it was a critical week in real estate investing for me.  I was presented with a deal on properties that were circumspect to say the least.  Some of my advisers said to run as far away as possible, while the people presenting the deal to me were very trustworthy.

The bottom line, these properties were toxic, as was a result of fraud.  The fraudsters in jail, and the bankruptcy court ordered the sale of the properties, yet when researching the properties, many were owned by the local government due to past taxes.  You really need to listen to this call.
