How would you describe the market when real estate prices fall and more than six months of inventory remains on the market? It doesn't really matter what terms you use – what matters is the fact that people are still buying and selling. You simply adjust to the market.

silver spring: Real Estate Investors: Understanding Your Options
- 01/30/12 08:27 AM
For real estate investors, Chapter 11 can be a lifesaver - a proverbial "fresh start" from an otherwise seemingly impossible situation - which gives the debtor a respite from creditors. The idea that filing for bankruptcy is a beginning, not an end, bears repeating, because real estate investors deserve the right to work with experienced attorneys who understand this intricate area of law, a discipline that allows companies to often reemerge towards success. A bankruptcy filing gives a real estate investor flexibility. The debtor can design new financing for the bankruptcy court's consideration and approval. The judge has wide discretion … (1 comments)

silver spring: What IS a Short Sale?
- 01/19/12 10:51 AM
A short sale can be an excellent solution for homeowners who need to sell, and who owe more on their homes than they are worth. In the past, it was rare for a bank or lender to accept a short sale.

But to be technical, here's a more official definition: A homeowner is 'short' when the amount owed on their property is higher than current market value. A short sale occurs when a negotiation is entered into with the … (0 comments)
silver spring: Is It Always Best to Pay the Asking Price?
- 01/16/12 11:58 AM
For some investors, the thought of offering anything but a low ball offer is completely unheard of. However, if competition from numerous investors in an area is fierce, those investors may find themselves limited in their ability to acquire property. A recent article by Ken Corsini at Bigger Pockets highlighted this fact, and urges a sentiment with which we agree: Don't get stuck on the asking price! It's better to use the asking price as a guide, but to sit down with a professional and work with the numbers. There are times when a low bid will be beaten by someone … (0 comments)
