Servicers Modify 210K Loans Through Own Programs in Q1: Report
Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011 | Foreclosures, Real Estate Investing, Uncategorized | No Comments
An estimated 210,000 homeowners received permanent, proprietary loan modifications from mortgage servicers during the first quarter of 2011, according to data released by HOPE NOW on Monday.
That’s down nearly 20 percent from the 261,500 private-program mods reported during the fourth quarter of 2010, and 40 percent fewer than the 347,000 completed in the third quarter of 2010.
The proprietary mod tally does not include loan modifications through the government’s Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP).
While the quarterly totals indicate a significant slide in modification activity, servicers reported an uptick during the month of March, when approximately 77,000 proprietary mods were completed. That’s up 26 percent from the 61,000 tracked in February.
“We were pleased to see the increase in proprietary loan modifications from the previous month, despite the challenges facing the industry,” said Faith Schwartz, HOPE NOW’s executive director. “This reversed a downward trend in proprietary modifications seen in the previous few months.”
HOPE NOW’s data also show an increase in foreclosure activity in March.
Foreclosure starts for the month were 217,000, up from the 180,000 reported for February 2011 – an increase of 21 percent.
Completed foreclosure sales in March totaled approximately 85,000, up from the 62,000 from the month before representing an increase of 35 percent.
According to HOPE NOW’s report, 60-plus day delinquencies at the end of March tallied 2.63 million, down 6 percent from the 2.78 million reported in February.
Schwartz commented, “While it’s encouraging to see a continued decline in 60 day delinquency we realize many homeowners continue to be at risk of foreclosure, as evidenced by the increase in foreclosure sales in March.”

I received this email yesterday and wanted you all to be aware of some changes that Bank of America has made to their short sale process:
“In March, fields were added to the initiation page in Equator so Bank of America can identify which short sale the homeowner qualifies for and best fits their situation. Starting in April, a series of technology enhancements are being implemented to improve the short sale process:

The Power Of The Mastermind
Saturday, January 29th, 2011 | Uncategorized | No Comments
Napoleon Hill, author of one of my favorite books, Think and Grow Rich, first wrote about the power of a “Mastermind”.
And even though that book is nearly 100 years old, the concepts stand true.
The “Mastermind” is an incredible principle used by the world’s most powerful leaders, Titans of business, and today’s wealthiest entrepreneurs.
This key principle of success let’s you multiple your brain power to generate new, exciting, and profitable ideas.
I belong to multiple masterminds, as well as mastermind with students who are some of the most successful real estate investors in the country today.
Here’s a video I just shot for you on how to harness the POWER of a mastermind, and how YOU can plug into a mastermind to help create amazing results in your life.

New Instant Cash Infusion Strategy (Just Revealed…)
Monday, January 17th, 2011 | Uncategorized | No Comments
I’ve been focusing my training with you over the past 6 weeks on new and unique strategies that make you 6k in 16 to 60 days or less. I call them Instant Cash Infusion strategies or “ICI” for short.
A lot of investors I’ve talked with and surveyed are looking for ways to make quick cash in 2011. They like the long term deals with huge paydays like short sales and rehabs BUT they are more concerned about making money now.
If you’re looking to do your first deal or if you’re an experienced investor looking for ways to infuse your business with chunks of cash then you’ll want to pay close attention.
Last week I revealed 4 ways to make money in 2011 without banks, bank financing and without having to wait 4-7 months for a payday.
There were over 5,000 people who watched my presentation.
I have one more brand new Instant Cash Infusion strategy that can make you quick cash. You can start doing this by Friday and make cash by next Friday. (That’s 7 days!)
I scheduled two training presentations for Tuesday night to tell you all about it.

Click to register for Tuesday’s training at 8:30 pm Eastern / 5:30 pm Pacific
Click to register for Tuesday’s training at 11:30 pm Eastern / 8:30 pm Pacific?(For investors on the West Coast)
In this presentation I’ll show you 4 unique investing strategies that work right now:
*How to make $3,000 – $7,000 “BIRD DOGGING” properties at the foreclosure auction for other investors.
*How to Buy Properties For Your Own Portfolio at the foreclosure auctions.
*How to Find and Utilize the Services of Auction Bird Dogs for Yourself so you don’t have to attend the auction. This goes right along with my strategy of creating your own “Apprentice Program” which I’ve been teaching since 2004.
*How to create a buyer’s list of 25-30 investors in one afternoon in order to assign and wholesale your equity, short sale and lease option properties to them.
*Using this strategy you can “BIRD DOG” for other experienced investors, find properties for them to buy and get paid quickly for doing it.
*What’s so cool is that you won’t need money, credit, experience, banks or any bank financing just like the other ICI strategies I have been teaching you.
“Bird dogging” at the foreclosure auction is Instant Cash Infusion Strategy #5.

P.S. There are over 6 million foreclosure properties in “shadow” inventory. These properties are in default, distress and foreclosure and about to hit the market. Using the strategies I’ll show you Tuesday night you can take advantage of some of this inventory and get an Instant Cash Infusion of between $3,000 to $7,000 in the next 16-60 days.
