dollar continues to depreciate, the idea of US
prosperity continues to become more of an
illusion. written by Dale Rogers The whole key for Bob, or any other contrarian, is to make lots of offers based on a valued analysis. If you don’t get the deal let someone else take the hit. There is desperation in the market place and it IS a BUYER’S MARKET. The professionals tune out the bad financial news and move out of the living room and put some serious cash to work. A year ago sellers would laugh bottom feeder buyers out of town. No one is laughing now. The continued muse of desperate sellers is “where have all the buyers gone?” They’re right here babies! The Contrarians are on the beachhead and moving in. The maddening crowd is on the sidelines wondering if it might be time to put their toe in the water. When the temperature of the water is just right, it will be too late. The deals are here and now. With all things being equal, value based investments have worked every time they are tried. written by Dale Rogers For months now many Realtors have been pacing the floor wondering where their next sale was coming from. The bad news drips off the front pages reporting for all to see how bad the real estate market has become. Thickets of real estate signs explode out of the ground much like the peak of any mushroom season. Sellers are now buying into the story believing the market is slow. For buyers who just as little as six months ago were pushing prices with little cash flow properties suddenly, these same properties have become ugly overnight.
Shrewd investors always look for buying opportunities. Whether it is stocks, coins, gold, bonds, collectibles, antique cars, or real estate the investment principals apply. The typical successful contrarian looks for spots to make a move. If there isn’t any worthwhile action they simply stay liquid and move to cash. When the hand wringing begins by the general public the shrewd investor starts to lean forward on the edge of their chairs and begins to focus their collective gaze toward potential opportunities. Currently, there is a huge inventory of listed properties just sitting on the market in the Multiple Listing Services (MLS) in many areas. Some of these potential opportunities have motivated seller some do not. It is necessary to focus on the listed properties that have a motivated seller. With well thought offers, fun and profits can result.
written by Dale Rogers Option ARMs are getting a lot of adverse publicity and regulatory attention. It’s kind of like a smoker suing for cigarettes causing cancer and getting Alzheimer’s in the process regarding the dangers of smoking. Likewise, anyone signing on for an Option ARM suddenly suffers the memory loss associated with plowing through a mountain of disclosures and examples indicating the dangers of the negative amortization and everything that goes with it. The high foreclosure rates in the ARM segment of the mortgage business will eventually sort itself out. There will be properties sold below acquisition prices, short sales by lenders, and a few precipitated bankruptcies when area prices fall and become soft.
Option ARMS utilized for investment property acquisition with an 80% or lower Loan To Value can lead to cash flow. Triplexes and fourplexes can meet the initial parameters of building a cash flow machine. Carefully put together Option ARMs can be an excellent mortgage vehicle for building cash flow in investment properties.
