I just posted a new article about the state of the economy and how it’s going to affect us, not just as taxpaying citizens, but also as real estate investors.

I can’t believe how much has happened in just a week’s time. We went from being told that everything is under control to a 700 Billion Dollar bail out. Why wasn’t anything done sooner?
The government is hoping that this bail out will head off total financial ruin, but unfortunately there are no guarantees and we’ll just have to wait and see what happens.

It seems to me that we have a long way to go. In the meantime, let’s hope that this bail out has the desired affect and puts us back on the right track.

2nd Mortgages: Pesky or Painless

Why is it that negotiating with mortgage companies can cause us to want to pull our hair out, yet when we find a deal that has 2 mortgages, we are ecstatic?
Weird, right?
On the surface, it seems insane that we would be excited to have to negotiate with 2 mortgage companies on 1 deal. But the beauty of a second mortgage is that you can create equity that didn’t exist before to turn an “ok” deal into a “great” deal.
So I just wrote a new article on how to successfully negotiate with a second mortgage while also dealing with the first.

I also give step by step instructions on what to offer, where to place certain closing costs on the HUD, and how to negotiate with 2 mortgages at the same time, creating huge discounts.

To tell you the truth, I love deals that have 2 or 3 mortgages! In my article I’ll explain why, and I bet you’ll grow to love them too.

I probably shouldn’t be suprised by the recent chain of events regarding Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, but still, I am.
With the deterioration of the housing market, our huge national debt, and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac’s 5 trillion dollar debt, I think that this is something that we really need to stay on top of and be aware of.
I just wrote a new article about what’s going on with Fannie and Freddie and the extreme measures that are being taken to keep our financial system from collapsing.
