GET IN NOW! WEBINAR IS ALMOST FULL!

Sims Logo



I know they are running out of registration room
fast for this private screening Monday night so
PLEASE register now.

I remember when Greg and Jeff launched SIMS 1.0 last year, it was the biggest and most incredible thing to ever hit our industry. And, I can't believe I'm saying this BUT SIMS 2.0 is even bigger and WAY better.

Register for the Private Screening: http://www.simsprofits.com/?1026747



The results people got last year have been mind-blowing. New investors who hadn't even done a deal yet are now doing multiple deals a month like clockwork. Seasoned investors used SIMS 1.0 to totally dominate their local markets and increased their businesses over 300%.



And the crazy part is THEY WERE USING the old system.



SIMS 2.0 is completely re-engineered from the ground up. Greg and Jeff have taken everything that worked incredibly well in SIMS 1.0 and combined it with the most advanced techniques they're using right now to create the...



World's Most Aggressive Lead Generation System Ever Developed



I've never seen anything like it. It just plain works. And that's the best part. So often I read about things that proclaim to be the "best thing since sliced bread" but end up being nothing more than at best a half a slice and slightly moldy. (I hear some people like moldy bread, go figure) BUT SIMS has created more success stories than any other system ever developed.



They've also added dozens of brand new features. Two of these new features are a "Mobile Marketing Platform" and an "Affiliate Marketing" module.



Register for the Private Screening: http://www.simsprofits.com/?1026747



Mobile marketing is the MOST effective way to actually reach people without messages going into spam or junk. And SMS messages actually get read near 100% of the time. Sort of like email 15 years ago. If you're not using it then you're not using the most powerful marketing tool over the next 3-5 years.



Affiliate Marketing. Now this is BIG. In this module they'll show you how to make money in real estate without ever buying or selling a house. You can make money from people on your list who will NEVER buy or sell a house from you. It's a HUGE untapped goldmine.



One last thing and THE MOST IMPORTANT thing for MANY is on Monday's call they're going to explain the SIMS Marketing Partnership Program (SMP). It's where a one-on-one MASTER LEVEL SIMS certified consultant will work with you personally for 90 to 120 days to implement every step of the SIMS 2.0 process.



THEY'LL DO IT FOR YOU!



Get the details here: http://www.simsprofits.com/?1026747



Talk Soon,



Jon



P.S. I think the most amazing thing to come across our industry in years is this new SMP program. To think you could basically hire the #1 marketing company in our industry to DO EVERYTHING FOR YOU is incredible.

Maybe You Can Relate?

Maybe you can relate?

I was thinking back on when I first started to invest in real estate the other day. I use to be so fearful about so many things and those fears paralyzed me for a long time. It kept me from moving forward.

One of my fears was (as silly as this sounds)…if I started to market my business, I would not be able to handle the response my marketing would bring back to me.

So I did not start right away and procrastinated for let’s just say way too long! I finally got tired of that and started to place ads and began to market my business tentatively. In the back of my head thinking, I better get ready for the avalanche of business I was going to get!

Well, guess what happened?

Nothing!!

At least not at first, then as things progressed – I started to market more - I started to get leads in my system! So, all my fears about not being able to handle the business coming to me were all in my head!

Now looking back on this I laugh, because marketing has become part of my day, every day. I don’t think twice about it.

Here is the thing; we need to get out of our own way to move forward. All those fears that we have in our head are just not true.

Marketing your business is an ongoing process and needs to be started and maintained for the life of your business. You have to start and it does not have to be perfect…But you do have to get it Going!!

Marketing is the blood that runs through our businesses to keep it alive. Stay consistent with this every day and you will be on your way to success.

Any questions please let me know by contacting me on VDF or writing me at rcellini@gmail.com

Environment of Empowerment By Armando Montelongo

We’ve all heard that who you are is who you hang around with. But most people don’t realize that your money is also who you hang around with.

If all you eat everyday is beef jerky, eventually you’re going to look like beef jerky. If all you put in your mind are old, dried-up negative thoughts, your brain will eventually be mental beef jerky.

But if you’re putting healthy things into your body – vitamins, minerals, water, protein, complex carbohydrates – your body will look healthy. If you have friends and family who have positive mind-sets and make positive financial strides in their life, your mind will also be positive and be willing to accept more money.

Ultimately, your money is what your mind thinks. You cannot produce positive income with a negative mind-set. And you cannot have a positive financial mind-set while spending time with friends who have negative thoughts about money.

Understand, you can still love and care about your friends and family, but if they do not support your beliefs about money, then don’t talk to them about money. You can talk about family things, sports, food and other things, but absolutely do not let them talk about money in your presence.

When you have negative friends around you, their level of income becomes acceptable for your life. It’s a justification for where you are, because you want to fit in. When you are inspired to follow a lead on a house and make lots of money, but your friends don’t think it’s a good idea, somewhere in your mind you will talk yourself out of going. And you think, “Well, I’m doing as well as they are.”

People who have money have friends who support and help each other. As you grow in your investment career, you want to make friends with people who get excited for you when you find deals. You want friends who get excited for you when you find deals. You want friends who will be jazzed when you buy a great property.

Friends like this actually help you create more energy in your life. They give you the desire to do more deals, to make more money. They support you.

I remember what it was like when I was starting out and did not have friends around me who were incredibly successful in real estate. I felt as huge need for support in this area. I wanted an environment of empowerment.

Years later, when thousands of television fans asked me for advice on flipping houses, I remembered how important it was to create this enviroment of empowerment. I wanted my students to have a way to create positive peer pressure around them. I wanted to create shortcuts so my students would not have to work as hard or feel as lonely as I did during my early years. I created Web sites, blogs, workbooks, courses and a coaching team to give people the support they need to succeed.

I believe in creating that community because without a support system, you’re taking something very simple and making it very difficult.

Setting Up Your Business - Pt. 2

Setting Up Your Business – Part 2

In continuing with setting up your real estate business for success, we spoke in Part 1, about how having a website and how necessary it is to your business.

The next tool we need to speak about is managing your email list. We all know that we should be building our investor, buyer and seller lists daily. How do you manage this without going crazy? The answer is a simple solution.

This task needs to be handled by an email manager called an auto responder. Auto responders are an excellent tool for keeping your emails organized and be able to send out a message to your whole email database with a click of a mouse.

An Auto responder is connected usually to your website or your blog so that when a person lands on your website or blog, there is a way to opt in to your list. Those boxes that have a place for your name and email are the entry to your list via your auto responder.

It’s a tool that is so valuable because you can stay in touch with your list and build relationships with your investor’s buyers or sellers.

I have a great recommendation for you and you can continue reading the blog post by clicking on the link below.

What's YOUR 2 cents Worth?

"My two cents" and its longer version "put my two cents in" is an American idiomatic expression, taken from the original British idiom expression: to put in "my two pennies worth" or "my tuppence worth." It used to preface the tentative stating of one’s opinion.

By deprecating the opinion to follow — suggesting its value is only two cents, a very small amount — the user of the phrase hopes to lessen the impact of a possibly contentious statement, showing politeness and humility. However, it is also sometimes used with irony when expressing a strongly felt opinion. The phrase is also used out of habit to preface uncontentious opinions.....

For example: “If I may put my two cents in, that hat doesn't do you any favors." (More polite way of saying, for example: That hat is ugly.) An example of the shortened version: "My two cents is that you should sell that stock now."

There is some speculation as to the origin of the idiom. Some believe that the phrase originates in betting card games, such as poker. In these games, one must make a small bet, or ante, before beginning play. Thus, the phrase makes an analogy between entering the game and entering a conversation. However, there is no documentary evidence of this being the origin of the idiom and as such, is merely speculation. Other likely origins are that "my two pennies worth" is derived from the much older 16th Century British expression, "a penny for your thoughts". There is also some belief that the idiom may have its origins in the early cost of postage in Britain, the "twopenny post", where two pennies was the normal charge of sending a letter containing one's words and thoughts or feelings to someone.

"Two cents" and its variations may also be used in place of the noun "opinion" or the verb phrase "state [subject's] opinion", e.g., "You had to put your two cents in, didn't you?" or "But that’s just my two cents."

The phrase "If you don't put your two cents in, how can you get change?" encourages an expression of opinion. It makes a pun on the word "change". One meaning of change is an alteration — presumably to bring someone or something in agreement with an expressed opinion. Another meaning of change is the cash equivalent of an overpayment. Thus the reference to two cents is in accord with another idiom that values opinions at one cent (A Penny for Your Thoughts).

So, what's your 2 cents regarding this post, buddy??

www.indrealty.in Is Up! Hunting for a Legally Verified Real Estate Property Was

www.indrealty.in is finally live to cater to the mass requirements of all those who aspire to purchase a property. It’s been long that you want to purchase a residential property, think no more…

New Delhi, India -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/11/2010 -- Though purchasing a property makes one brim with happiness and gladdens the heart, but it definitely requires a lot of homework to be done and also requires you to be on your toes all the time to materialize the long-cherished dream. Being one of the most basic needs of human beings, owning a home becomes all the more important. We often end up investing our lifetime savings to huddle comfortably and safely with our loved ones in our dream abode. For, buying a home or a property is not like purchasing the dress you always craved for, which however, did not turn out to be a fit for you. Interesting thing is you can always conveniently change that dress to find your fit, but buying a wrong property and then on a lookout again to find the one that suits you is a painstaking task indeed. So, it goes without saying that real estate purchase is a serious affair.

A tiny mistake while purchasing a real estate property can prove disastrous at times. It can leave you highly irate with your hard-earned money going in wrong hands. Going through the entire process of real estate purchase in individual capacity might become a little heavy on your shoulders due to the complicated nature of the applicable laws. While purchasing any kind of property i.e. commercial property, residential property, apartments, flats, builder floors, villas, 2BHK, 3BHK or merely for the sake of property investment a certain legal acumen is required. Not all folks are lawyers, so to assist the common man or the layman with our legal expertise for a trouble free property acquisition is what we aim at. Your property and our legal guidance; it’s simple as that.

We have not set those long-drawn philosophies which go on in lengthy paragraphs to show that we are different. The three words “Legally Verified Properties” are enough to explain why we have entered this real estate arena. Thus we strive to offer you a wide range of properties which suit your budget as well as your taste. Whether you are looking for a posh apartment or flat or hunting for luxurious villas we are determined to help you out. Currently, our major focus is on the booming metros, including Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore and Chennai. We also cover the NCR region of Delhi (Gurgaon, Ghaziabad, Noida and Faridabad). In the near future we will expand our area of operation and include Hyderabad and Ahmedabad as well. Our interest will definitely not be restricted to just these places as we intend to spread our arms all over the country. It’s just not the domestic market we are looking at, but also the International market in the course of time to enable our users purchase overseas properties as well.

Our team comprises of professionally qualified Real Estate experts, consultants and highly competent lawyers all over India who look into the nitty-gritty’s of real estate laws and ensure that the properties displayed are in strict compliance to the existing laws. The properties displayed on Indrealty.in come from established and reputed developers. A thorough property survey is done before listing it on our Web site unless the team is convinced. You can not only search for properties or find an ideal property, but an exclusive feature of the Web site is the knowledge base providing informative articles related to real estate like Pre-Purchase assistance, Post-Purchase assistance, residential areas in all the metros, Property purchase by NRIs, Important purchasing tips and so on. Our experts help you in finding a property, a smooth purchase and also help you locating a choice for finance, if the need arises.

After tying-up with helplinelaw.com, it has become easier for indrealty.in to sort out the best legally verified properties for you from the huge database. As they say “If wishes were horses all dreamers would ride”, so respecting the budget size of every individual we have included properties to fit all the budgets and let you have your own wish horse.

Our network is widespread in India with our head office being located at New Delhi. Other notable operational offices are in Mumbai and Bangalore. All the teams in these cities and the consultants all across the country follow the golden rule of ‘perfect coordination’. The sincere effort of our real estate connoisseurs and skilled manpower in our branch offices has won us the association of several celebrated builders and developers.

Had you been bothering about the genuineness of a property, wait no more and log on to http://www.indrealty.in to find your legally secure dream property.

You own while we advise!!

Looking for $100k partner!

I'm lookin g for a $100k 50/50 JV partner to purchase 15-unit, 23-unit, and 35-unit property in St. Joseph MO. Seller will finance on a Mortgage wrap with $100K in reserve and Dwon Payment. The three buildings have a total monthly income of $28,875 with an after expense and debt service monthly Net Cash Income of $6607 which we will split each month(i.e. approx. $3300/mo. return on your money each month!). I'm prepared to move to St. Joseph to manage property as long as I have to serve in that capacity.

Opportunity won't last long because seller needs to spend his time on much larger acquisition. Pleae call ONLY if you have the money to participate!

This purchase could possibly lead to the acquisiotn of the Seller's 104-unit property in Indiana.

Being a Silent Partner by Investing in a Des Moines investment property

If the deal needs a little help, property investors will sometimes take on partners. Working together on deals can sometimes save time and gain more profit. Joining a group of investors might be the best step you take in the arena of a des moines property investments.

Access to groups of investors can get you a position as a silent investor. As a silent partner, you front the money, but don’t have to deal with the dirty work. As a silent partner you’d just provide the funds or credit- period. In some investment firms, there may be one or many silent partners all investing money.

Financial backers don’t have to do any of the exhausting leg work involved in investment properties: property hunting, signing agreements, planning or hiring. Being a silent partner means that you can buy stock in the company and never have to actually go down to the office. When purchasing real estate, the more cash resources you have the better your business. That’s why cash investors are in hot demand by property investors.

With cash in hand, an investor can find amazing deals quickly and easily. This is because other investors or homebuyers will have to apply for a hard money loan or put themselves at the mercy of mortgage companies. Silent partnerships allow you to gain from the partnership with other investors on a des moines property investments. They get a return on their investment of money with very little effort so it’s possible to invest in real estate without any experience in real estate.

Having a partner with real estate know-how is a great asset. Just because they don’t have ready money, doesn’t mean your active partners can’t be a tremendous asset in your real estate ventures. Your silent partnership can help mitigate the tax obligation on both sides. The silent partner lowers their taxable worth by investing their money, and the active partner lowers their worth by “giving some of their income to you.

You can easily increase your income by investing in a des moines property investments as a silent partner. You won’t have to worry about being involved in day to day real estate decisions or chores either. Being a silent partner is a great way to diversify your investments.

#1 ONLINE MARKETER

Hey guys and gals




Yesterday we entered the contest that Fast Company is having to find “2010’s Most Influential Online Person” and sent out one email and we cracked the top 50. It only took 200 or so “1st contacts”

To say that you are one of the top 100 Most Influential People Online on the planet would be pretty incredible. We’re diggin into it a little more this am and I’ll let you know how we think it works exactly but thought everyone with any size list at all should check it out and get their peeps to participate

The other cool thing and the angle we’re taking is that Fast Company mag said that everyone who enters will be in their November issue and “ONE OF” the most influential people online, so the email that greg sent out yesterday to our list told people about this and how they can use it in their local markets for positioning

Check it out

http://fcinf.com/v/ag4h/welcome

But make sure to get your people to actually register themselves so they can say that they are “One of the most influential people online for 2010” and in the November 2010 issue of the mag

Thanks

Time Management

Read the full article: http://mareinet.com/time-management-tips/

Members fo MAREI are made up of all types of business folks: real estate investors, Realtors, mortgage lenders, title people, attorneys, you name it, we probably have one as a member. What do we all have in common besides our passion for real estate?

Not enough time . . . .

So what can we do about it . . . here are some ideas from a recent article that came through my email this morning . . .

1. Manage your email, there are tons of tools out there and this article mentions using the “rules” in the Outlook program to sort emails as they come in based on rules. You can also utilize the calendar and task list tools and if I am not mistaken, these will integrate with your smart phone.

2. Phone calls, first of all, when you leave a message – includethe best time for them to return your call to help eliminate phone tag. Second, actually leave a message stating why you are calling. Nine times out of ten I will leave a message stating exactly what I need from the person. They get the answer and call me back and leave a message “I have your answer, please call me”. Could you please just leave the answer so I don’t have to call you again. And . . .

Wholesale Buyers List

Read full Blog at http://mareinet.com/17-ways-to-build-a-wholesale-buyers-list/

This article came through the MAREI email today. We have a lot of wholesalers or wholesalers to be at MAREI and these are some good ideas.

Read the full article “17 Ways to build a wholesale buyer’s list”

Note that many of the tools he mentions are available in the MAREI Tool Box Section
# Call the “For Rent” “lease option” “renovated” ads in the newspaper, craigslist, backpage, kijiji, etc.
# Call the “For Rent” signs that are handwritten that you see hiding behind the bushes:)
# Call the “We buy houses” people.
# Market for another wholesaler by using a Flex Option.
# Have a property under contract!!
# Go to a real estate Auction – see who the cash buyers are.
# Call the section 8 office in your city, and property managers – find out who’s buying.
# Get a deal under contract, make sure your hard money lenders know about it, their buyers need to buy so the lender can make money.
# Your local REIA meetings. Nothing takes the place of talking and shaking hands. .
# Use Social Media!! Linkedin, Twitter, Facebook, BiggerPockets, RealEstateInvestor.Com, REIClub.com.
# Post an ad in Craigslist saying you have properties 30%-50% of retail value. Send them to your site or sqeeze page.
# Make a solid contact with a realtor that will search the MLS for cash buyers within the last 6 months.
# Go to events that are geared towards real estate, hard money, financing.
# Search in Google, Yahoo, Bing, Facebook, Twitter “Sell houses fast”, “We buy houses”. Typically . . .

Due Diligence

I am new here to Virtual Deal Factory and not to bag on my fellow members, but the first thing I see is a house in the "hood" in Kansas City Missouri.

The seller is professing that it has a $60,000 value, is selling at about $30,000 and it just needs a little TLC. Being from Kansas City and knowing our urban core and it's values I have to say, don't beleive 90% of what you read on property postings online, don't use online valuation services, and get a disinterested 3rd party opinion.

You see this particular house is located right on the edge of our urban core next to our berlin wall of the street Troost. Take a house one block west of Troost and an identical house one block east of Troost and you will find values can vary up to $50,000 in some cases. The west side is the up can comming neighborhood the east side has yet to see the revitalization. Thus the online valuation tools can and will give you higher values.

We also see a lot of sellers touting the $60,000 value based on an appraisal, but check that appraisal - usually they are 2-4 years old.

I personally get an email or a phone call at least once a week from someone in Hawaii, California, Arizona, New York or some other coastal area about the great deal they have. They have just put a Kansas City area house under contract to buy for $20,000 usually (or worse yet have already purchased), it's worth $60,000 they tell me and it just needs a bit of work, and I can buy it for $30,000.

So having access to our local MLS I look it up and more often than not it is currently active in our MLS for somewhere between $5k and $8k, they are being sold a house by a wholesaler for $20K, they are then trying to sell it to me for $30k and the whole deal depends on me buying it for $30k to get the ball rolling. Actually it depends on me beleiving it's worth $60k when all is said and done.

Also for a home to need just a little TLC I am going to want under $1000 in repairs, the MLS listing shows boarded up windows, states it has been vandalized - so in addition to paint an carpet it needs a furnace, central air, a hot water heater and plumbing, not to mention all the broken windows fixed. And then it needs to be occupied immediatly so it does not get vandalized again.

When I see other homes in the area and what they are selling for here is what I find:

Vacant Fixer Upper - worth about $5k max

Vacant not needing much work - maybe $10k

Occupied & Tenanted needing TLC - about $15k to $20k

Occupied, tenanted, in excellent condition - depending on the rent somewhere between $30k and $40, maybe $50 if it is in an exceptional area.

So before you buy a house in an urban core anywhere in the country, do a little research of your own on Realtor.com and see what the prices are of other homes in the area. Do not look at auto evaluation service. On Realtor.com pick any realtor with houses for sale in the area and ask them about the value - a realtor that has nothing in the deal.

Don't ask the person selling it to you, or the realtor that is selling it to you as they are all representing themselves and the money they make, they are not there to protect you.

I don't want another call like the one I had yesterday from the new investor who had just bought an urban core Kansas City house after going through one of those $10k to $50k training programs with a mentor who helped him buy a $5k house for $30k and now he does not know what to do with it.

My recommendation, list it and get rid of it for $5k and consider the $25k lost as a learning experience. Or you can try to get it rehabbed (probably another $8 to $18k), then get it tenanted and cash flowing for the next 9 to 10 months, then rehab it again to put another tenant in it, eventually in 5 to 10 years you may get it to turn around and the urban core area may turn around. To do all this you need to find an excellent person in the area where the house is located that knows all about rehab and managing properties. Hire them to do the work -but be sure to check them out to.

If you have not yet bought a house in an out of state urban core area, but are thinking about it . . . find the local Real Estate Investment or Landlord Group . . . spend the $99, the $150, the $300 to join. Then through their social networking and message boards ask questions, learn the area and real numbers, not the ones the so called gurus are telling you about, and then invest with an informed decision.

You can find a local REIA group online at www.NationalREIA.com and in Kansas City you can find our REIA group www.MAREInet.com - the $99 to $350 spent on membership now can save you $1000s in the long run on a bad deal in a city you know nothing about.

A great opportunity to make easy profits for savvy investors!

Hello fellow Investors,

We are working with several investors, real estate agents, and a lender that are picking up some unlisted REO's that need a little bit of rehab to get them back on the market. In our program, you can purchase a rehab at 30 to 40 cents on the dollar, or buy just below retail with little to no money down, and renters already in place (basically a sign and collect rents). The properties are Multi-Family Units (2, 3 & 4 bedrooms). The properties are located in the Newark area (No War Zones), but some tough neighborhoods. The Cash Flow on these Multi-Family Units is incredible. With todays low interest rates, and the rents you can collect by providing decent housing in NJ - We have an Investors Goldmine.

In some cases we are rehabbing entire blocks, one to two properties at a time. Some of the tenants are Section 8, some are self pay, the investor can use our Property Management Team or do it themselves. We are looking for Out-Of-Area Investors as well - As you may have heard in the news lately Newark and the entire New Jersey Area is depressed with very high unemployment, but the good news is that the State and local Mayors are working very hard to generate Tax Dollars by getting Abandoned and Foreclosed Properties back on the Market by using Investors to - Buy, Renovate & Pay RE Taxes and get Renters into Decent Livable Properties.

So whether you are a Rehaber or looking for Turn Key - Buy & Hold, We would like to talk with you. So click on the link below to get more info by giving us your contact information. We are only looking for those who are serious!

2 lots for price of 1

I own two lots side by side in Cherokee Village, Arkansas. Great deal for investor and/or builder that might want to buy 2 lots for less than the price of 1 and sell off one lot and own your lot free and clear. Another option would be to combine into one large lot and build a home to live in or sell or just build 2 homes and sell. Profit potentials are very good, especially if you are willing to hang on to lots for future value increase. If there are some ideas out there for marketing these lots please let me know. Help is appreciated and potentially could be compensated. Thanks, Mel

Thursday calmer at East Point housing office

East Point housing officials began accepting Section 8 applications 90 minutes early Thursday morning after crowds of people showed up to turn in the forms.

A day after a crowd of 30,000 mobbed the housing authority offices to pick up the forms, a small crowd of less than a dozen people began lining up around 5 a.m. The group was dispersed by East Point police about an hour later. But shortly after 7 a.m., officials allowed people to line up on the sidewalk adjacent to the building. There were about 50 people in line at 7:30, when officials brought out boxes and began to accept the applications. That process had been scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. Applications will be accepted until 5:30 p.m.

Police used cones to set up a special lane on Norman Berry Drive where people could drop off their forms without getting out of their cars. Housing authority workers in lime green shirts were collecting the applications in cardboard boxes; police officers were then directing them back into traffic. At 8:30 a.m. the process was running smoothly.

"It's more of a traffic concern today," East Point Police Chief Leander Robinson told the AJC.

Kim Lemish, executive director of the East Point Housing Authority, said, "Today we are accommodating the crowd." She said she spoke Wednesday with the Atlanta field office of the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development and "they expressed their concern about what happened yesterday" and were working on ideas to facilitate the process.

She acknowledged that some of the people who turn in applications will wait years to get housing under the program. She said they will be put on a list but that the process is not necessarily a first-come-first-serve basis. Other criteria, such as financial need, family size, employment status, age and disability, could move some people up on the list.

Lemish said 13,000 applications were distributed Wednesday and that everyone who showed up before the 1 p.m. deadline received one.

Applicants came from all over the metro area and some came from other states. Since the program is a federal program, applications are not limited to East Point residents, Lemish said.

The current process is being conducted because, while all housing units are filled, the waiting list is depleted and the current group of applicants will be put on a new waiting list. There are a total of 655 housing spots available -- 200 public housing units and 455 vouchers for rent assistance in private housing. East Point currently has five housing developments, but three of them will be closed or sold.

Lemish said it will likely be six months before any vacancies arise and that people could spend up to 10 years on the waiting list.

Applicants have until Aug. 30 to turn in their application. Leming said that in the future the process will be done electronically and that people without computer access can come to the housing authority office to use the computer.

While Thursday's process went much smoother, there were some confusing moments early on.

Marissa White arrived at the Housing Authority office about 6:25 a.m. Thursday and walked up to the front door to wait to turn in her application.

Within minutes, an East Point police officer drove by and told White she could not wait outside the office.

“They want us to mail it in, but most folks aren’t going to mail theirs in, thinking they will get lost in the mail,” she said. “And they said first come, first served, so I’m going to be there first,” she said.

White said she lined up at Tri-Cities Plaza just after midnight Wednesday morning to get her application.

“It was so disorganized,” White said. She said authorities had set up barricades to keep the lines orderly, “but those folks knocked them down in 30 minutes.”

“It was crazy,” she said. “It was a sight to see.”

An estimated 30,000 people suffered through hours in the hot sun, angry flare-ups in the crowd, and lots of frustration and confusion for a chance to receive a government-subsidized apartment.

The massive event sometimes descended into a chaotic mob scene filled with anger and impatience. Some 62 people needed medical attention and 20 of them were transported to a hospital, authorities said. A baby went into a seizure in the heat and was stabilized at a hospital. People were removed on stretchers and when a throng of people who had been waiting hours in a line was told to move to another line, people started pushing, shoving and cursing, witnesses said.

Still, officials of East Point declared the day a success. Nobody was arrested and nobody was seriously injured, they said.

NJ Tenants Not Privy to Blight Notifications

NEWARK-The Supreme Court recently came out with a ruling on Iron Mountain Information Management Inc. v. The City of Newark, which impacts whether or not commercial tenants are entitled to notice of a proposed blight designation under the provisions of New Jerseys’ Local Redevelopment Housing law. The issue before the New Jersey Supreme Court was whether a long-term commercial tenant, with a limited right of first refusal, is entitled to the same notice as the property owner when the property is subject to a potential blight designation.

On May 19, 2010, the Supreme Court held that the legislature intended to limit the right to actual notice of blight designation to owners of record and those whose names are listed on the tax assessor's records, and Iron Mountain was not deprived of any due process protections afforded by the New Jersey or US Constitution. This raises some interesting points for commercial tenants in the state, says John S. Stolz, partner of Lowenstein Sandler’s real estate practice group.

But first, some background. In 2004, the Newark Municipal Council adopted a resolution authorizing the Planning Board to investigate whether a group of properties, including the building in which Iron Mountain is a tenant, qualified as blighted, Stolz relates. “Following the publication of a notice of hearing and service of the notice on the building owner, the Planning Board held a public hearing and concluded that the property met the applicable criteria for a blight designation,” he tells GlobeSt.com. “A resolution was adopted designating the blighted area and directing that a redevelopment plan be drafted. The Planning Board held another public hearing to consider the redevelopment plan and adopted resolutions approving the development plan and appointing the housing authority to serve as the redevelopment agency.”

Iron Mountain challenged both the initial blight designation and the subsequent approval of the redevelopment plan, arguing that its status as a long-term commercial tenant amounted to a protected property interest in the property that entitled it to the same notices that the LRHL affords to the property owner.

But the Supreme Court disagreed and sided with the Appellate Division's reasoning that the legislature intended, in the blight designation context, to limit the right to actual notice to owners of record and those whose names are listed on the tax assessor's records. “The Appellate Division also concluded that there were no due process violations because commercial tenants do not have an interest entitled to individualized recognition and protection at the earlier blight designation stage, the condemnation stage affords the tenant a comprehensive and complete forum for the vindication of its rights,” says Stolz, “and the administrative burdens of requiring individual notice at the earlier blight designation state are enormous.”

Consequently, commercial tenants are not entitled to notice of a potential blight designation pursuant to the LRHL and may have no rights or remedies until there is a condemnation proceeding. “Tenants are basically left in the dark,” Stolz tells GlobeSt.com, but he adds that they do have the option of getting onto the tax role or simply doing some legwork and looking into whether the property they are in has been designated as blighted.

Sell Properties In A Weak Real Estate Market With Land Contracts

Land contracts, also known as a contract for deed, trust deed or installment sale agreement, are an option for real estate investors who want to obtain monthly cash flow from properties they are going to sell while still holding title to the property.

A land contract is an agreement between a buyer and a seller. Instead of selling a property outright, a real estate investor “contracts” the property to a buyer.

The seller provides financing for the buyer at a pre-arranged price. The buyer pays back the “loan” in installments. You can use land contracts to buy or sell properties.

Selling A Home Using Land Contracts

With a land contract, the seller holds the deed to a property until the buyer pays for the loan in full. A land contract doesn’t involve banks or traditional mortgage lenders. There are no credit requirements or rigid financing rules. For sellers with credit challenges, this alone can be worth it, because the price of the home may be less expensive than a traditional mortgage.

Land options also offer benefits for investors: The seller of a land contract can charge a higher sale price than if the property is sold with traditional bank financing. The seller doesn’t have to pay a down payment, so the real estate investor can command a higher purchase price and a higher interest rate for more profit.

Land contracts help investors sell properties in a weak market, particularly because land contract homes’ fees are lower.

Requirements For Land Contract Buyers

The title can only be transferred after payments are paid in full.

While the property is under contact, the buyer must make all payments. Although payments are set between the buyer and seller, they are typically set using a mortgage amortization schedule.

Legally, the seller is allowed to stay in the home as long as they are not in default. At the end of the contract, the buyer would typically make a balloon payment and then own the property outright.

If the buyer defaults, the seller can repossess the property. The buyer would lose payments and equity gained during the duration of the contract. By law, the seller would not be required to transfer the deed to the buyer.

Check the laws in your state. Land contracts vary by state. They are a popular tool in states such as Michigan, but some states do not have favorable land contract laws.

Top 5 reasons to buy REOs

Today, I'd like to talk to you about the top 5 reasons to buy REOs, as opposed to foreclosures or properties directly from homeowners. First, let me explain to you what an REO is. REO means Real Estate Owned and it is real estate that is owned by banks. It's generally been taken from the previous homeowner in foreclosure.

1. REO properties are free and clear. They have no other liens against them. For instance all the taxes have been paid, any mechanics liens or 2nd or 3rd mortgages have been paid. If you are working on a property that is in the foreclosure process, there could still be many other liens on it. There certainly could be 2nd mortgages, mechanics liens, tax liens or any number of other problems that you will have to deal with as an investor. Savvy investors know to always check the title BEFORE you buy a property. The same could be said for properties owned by individuals -- unless you have a title company who can check title for you, you could be in a world of hurt when surprises, like other owners for example, come up. When the property is already owned by the bank, there are no other owners -- it's just the bank.
2. Banks are motivated sellers. Banks are not allowed to own properties and the more they own, the more trouble they are in. They need to get rid of these properties and get rid of them at reasonable prices. Though if you are only buying one at a time, you might disagree with that as banks are also trying to recover as much of the property value as they can. However, if you can buy several REOs from a bank, you can get them for much less. Also, the bank has already spent a fortune on the foreclosure and they now have carrying costs for any property on their books. The more properties they have, the more trouble they get in with regulators, and with their shareholders. It's very good for banks to get rid of REO properties.
3. You don't have to go through a long process like you do if you are trying to get a bank to agree to a short sale. You don't have to get all of a seller's personal information and constantly submit fresh paperwork to banks or work with seemingly unmotivated loss mitigation representatives. While short sales can be very lucrative, and I believe in helping homeowners to avoid foreclosure so it is worth it to do short sales, if you can buy a property that a bank already owns, it's a simpler process.
4. Properties are ready to be yours right away. REOs are generally vacant. Any tenant has been evicted or the homeowner has already moved out. Unless you have a squatter, you don't have to deal with evicting a tenant or with angry homeowners destroying a house before you are able to buy it. What you see is what you get -- you will already know if the house is destroyed when you make your offer.
5. You get clean title with an REO property. The bank is the owner as soon as the foreclosure process is completed. There is no question about who owns the house and you won't magically have 5 other heirs show up on title making it impossible to purchase the property -- which is something that happened to a fellow investor and friend of mine.

I hope you learned something from this and look forward to speaking with you soon.
