flips: Make Money In A Down Real Estate Market
- 11/21/07 05:54 AM
What does it take to recognize and take action on a good deal. I have worked with Investors of Real Estate most of My career which started in 1988. This past 12 months or so has seen a lot of negative press in as far as the real estate market goes. Based on the press reports one might presume that this was as far from being a golden time to buy as you could imagine. After all it is all Doom_and_Gloom Right? Yet Investor's_seem_to_look_at_Real_Estate just a little bit different. It is after all one of the single greatest investment vehicles that common people and professionals can and do employ here in … (0 comments)
flips: Mortgage Morons Vs Flip Buyer's
- 11/07/07 01:20 PM
I just don't get it! Someone please tell me what the rationale is behind what appears to be standard fare in the lending industry. What I am talking about is the reluctance of Lender's to approve mortgages for Investors of Flip Properties especially over the last couple of years. I have been confronted with this reoccurring problem of financing Flip's in the Portland Market over and over again and it just does not make sense to me. Is this my fault. Maybe I have just not reached out to other Lenders enough to insure this will not be a problem in the future. So … (8 comments)

The Telephone call was an exciting one. It was Home and Garden Television. The Call came in from a young lady in New York. She works for the hit show Hidden_Potential on HGTV. It was a little hard to hear as I drove through the City with my Radio on and the window down on this perfect afternoon in Portland Oregon. I pulled to the curb and asked if she could repeat herself. " I am calling in behalf of HGTV's television show Hidden Potential, are you familiar with it? " I had to admit I was not. She went on to say that the … (25 comments)

- 04/22/07 04:00 PM
Did I mention the Fixer market in Portland is Hot ! Just as I thought I might have a tough time getting rid of this one the Market Heats up and I am suddenly flush with qualified Fixer Buyers. The Duplex in Alberta Arts was already a challenge due to condition. What I didn't need though was a tenant that couldn't speak English and was frequently not home. When faced with this kind of adversity I have seen some agent's throw in the towell. An uncoperative tenant, a less than perfect property and an unprodictable market. Suddenly the Market takes off. … (8 comments)
