The time to buy is when everyone else is selling whether it's real estate, stocks, cars, whatever. Mortgage Funds are more popular than ever for investors wanting to get the most bang for their buck. written by Doug Mitchell
It's a fact that real estate backed mortgages consistently provide some of the highest returns from one of the safest investments available in the marketplace today. A substantial equity cushion is created when a strict low loan-to-value (LTV) ratio is observed, which works to insulate the mortgage investment from undue risk. Mortgage pools (the pooling of capital by many individuals to invest in real estate backed mortgages) offer the safety of low LTV and diversity when capital is secured by numerous mortgages in diverse locations.

Some commercial real estate investors are able to consistently earn big profits due to the extreme fluctuations common to the industry. Who are they and how do they do it? They are contrarian investors. The trick is to know when to buy and when to sell by identifying and understanding the phases of real estate market cycles. It also helps to have nerves of steel.
written by Doug Mitchell Many frustrated people who have watched helplessly as their managed IRAs melted away in the stock market downturn don't realize they can take control of their money through a self-directed IRA. They can choose where to invest their money, including alternative investments such as real estate equity or mortgages.

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 Jack Brynaur An open letter to the FCC, your congressman, or anyone else who can further the cause of net neutrality. written by Yusuf Danesi Why should agency CEOs junket round the world at the organization’s expense, drive sleek cars, live in mansions, own homes abroad where their children also school, have fat foreign accounts, etc. yet 99.99% of them owe printers, models, media, etc. for eternity? What moral justification do they even have for owing staff salaries? Both media and ad agencies now pay salaries in arrears of three months! << previous page 1 next page>> |
