We pride ourselves with helping the Seller first then the Bank, Realtor, Buyer and then YOU.  If you remember to always thinking about WIIFM for the Seller versus WIIF you THEN YOU WILL ALWAYS DO WELL.

Being in foreclosure is a though situation for all parties including family members.

We all had so much fun.  Kimberlee Frank and her Partners work on Dreams Boards with the goal of helping Sellers from going into foreclosure.  You need to have a system to be able to talk to the Seller, Negotiate with the Bank, Find a Buyer and close on the property all at the same time making sure that the Bank accepts a full settlement on a short sale.  Kimberlee Frank at ForeclosuresGoneWild.com has a 98% success rate of getting deficiency judgments waived against Sellers.  She teachs all of her students/partners to help the Seller first and then their success will follow.  She is looking to grow her team and has an event coming up May 1, 2 and 3rd.  Check out www.ForeclosuresGoneWild.com to learn more.

Proposed Home Buyers Tax Credit

As part of the President’s economic stimulus plan, there is a proposed change in the $8,000 tax credit that was passed by Congress last summer as a part of the Housing Recovery Act, giving first time home buyers a $8,000 credit that would require that the tax credit be repaid over 15 years. Basically a no-interest loan.  Unfortunately, it did not seem to have much impact on the housing market.  However, the new stimulus bill which was approved by the Senate this week would allow a tax credit of 10% of the value of new or existing residences, up to a $15,000 limit. Congress still needs to vote on it in the next 10 days though.  

New Stimulus Plan – Will It Help to Jump Start Florida Home Sales?

We expect some version of this bill to pass so it’s good news for the Florida real estate market and the rest of the nation.  Hopefully this will get the economy and home market jump started again.

Today’s Real Estate Market Strategies

If you are thinking of buying and flipping, or buying, fixing and flipping this proposed new stimulus plan could help you because it will help to increase the number of home buyers to buy your property.  My proven realestate junkie strategies on flipping in today’s market have been helping my students tremendously right now. If you are going to use this strategy, then you have to be able to identify the right discounted properties or you will be sitting with the property for a very long time. You also need to know how to market the properties to sell quickly and for the highest amount and how to make sure you always have your pool of buyers lined up.  If you bought a rehab property and are going to flip it, then you want to line up buyers/investors who are rehab specialists. You do not want to offer them a bad deal, because you will need these buyers again when another opportunity comes up, and you do not want to jeopardize your reputation with them.    

If you are going to fix and flip, then my proven rehabbing strategies will be invaluable to you.  Right now you should be compiling a list of vendors to help you with your rehabbing so you are ready to go and know upfront what your rehab costs are going to be even before you make your offer. Marketing the properties is important as well.  With my proven strategies, you will not only learn the best ways to market rehabbed properties, but also the best places to advertise them.

Short Sale Strategies

For instance, if you are entertaining the thought of buying a short sale, my short sale course will give you a road map on how to find and negotiate your short sale property.  Since a majority of the properties on the market right now are either short sale or REO’s, it is important to understand how the short sale process works. You will be provided with the necessary documents to submit to the seller and the seller’s lender as well as negotiating strategies and tactics to convince the seller and their lender why a short sale is the best solution for each of them.   As part of the course, you will also learn how to apply my proven short sale negotiating strategies to deals where there is not only a first lender, but also a second lender. I just closed a deal similar to that.  While it was a little more difficult, it’s not impossible if you apply my techniques.

Larry’s mother is hard of hearing and refuses to wear the hearing aid that we bought her so again she yelled “I told Linda to tell you not to come”!  I saw the look in my husband’s eyes (hurt) because she said that.  She is old and is set in her ways and refuses to come to our house but yet she is lonely.  I walked up to her and spoke loudly smiling ”It is Thanksgiving and we should be thankful that we can spend it together.  It was no trouble to come and thank you for having us”!   What we thought was that she didn’t want us, instead she felt like it was a hassle for us to come and spend time with her.  Thanksgiving was great and she had a good time with us.  We even invited Larry’s brother down the street to come to dinner.

We left around 6 p.m. in time to get home to watch a movie called “Click”.  Adam Saddler was the work alcoholic that didn’t have time for his family.  I come from a very close family.  The more the merrier.  It was hard for me to move to Florida and leave my family behind.  The party house was my house and I would always do whatever I could for them.  The moral of the movie “Click” is that FAMILY COMES FIRST.  So this Thanksgiving I would like to thank my mother, daughter, two sons and my husband for allowing me the time to share myself not only with my students but with my women’s group.

I would also like to thank my students and the women from my women’s group for allowing me to be part of their lives. Each woman and student has touched my heart in a special way. May God Bless you all.  I love ya all!!!    Happy Thanksgiving!!

PS Oh I can’t forget about being thankful for the food – now I need to go back on my Jenny Craig Diet
