Estate Sale? Or Garage Sale?
I had the opportunity of meeting with, Will Fuller, the Owner of the Caring Transitions Franchise for San Diego a few years back and really liked what he was doing and how he was going about it.
What with 77 million Baby Boomers currently retiring everyday for about the next 20 or so years I thought what he was doing really filled a significant void; especially in the real estate industry.
This is really a very well organized and thought out business and I've been tracking it for the past several years. There's a lot of scams and rip off … (5 comments)

Sitting On The Fence?Let there be no doubt; It's a great time for investors with:However, for the fix and flip crowd or the faint of heart I would still hold tightly to the reins, play your cards close to the vest and keep your hard earned cash where you can feel it. At least in the San Diego market. Nothing wrong with fence sitting a bit longer. In fact I'm sitting on the fence, unless the deal is just too good to pass up. Until after I see what our next president and Congress is all about and what kind of leadership we'll be getting from … (0 comments)

FYI: House Fails to Vote on Extending Loan Limits This is a re-post from REALTOR MAG that I thought I'd pass along.
DAILY REAL ESTATE NEWS | MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 2011 Conforming loan limits on government-backed mortgages at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are set to expire on Oct. 1, because attempts to extend them haven't gain traction in Congress.

probate: Why should underwater homeowners get a cramdown and those of us who are prudent borrowerers get the shaft?
- 10/10/11 10:07 AM
Why should underwater homeowners get a cramdown and those of us who are prudent borrowerers get the shaft? I've had it with the notion that "BIG BROTHER" should force lenders to dole out "cramdowns" (principal write downs) to people that can't afford to make their payments while those of us that are struggling to be prudent about our obligations get the shaft. Once again I'm starting to hear the war drums beating in the distance. What's good for the goose is certainly good for the gander. Additionally, what's to keep good borrowers from going south on their loans if they see this … (2 comments)

This Is More of A Question Than A Post.
Anybody know anything about group homes for the disabled, autistic, foster care, etc? I'm looking at a property with nine bedrooms and 5 baths that has already been used as a group home for persons with special needs. Our investment group would be willing to purchase the home if we could find an experienced group home resident operator/manager to partner with. Does anybody know where one might start looking for someone like this?
We're not in this business and don't really with to divert our focus away from our field … (0 comments)

Repost: American Red Cross response to "Triangle of Life" by Doug Copp:
I ran across this article written by the American Red Cross and in view of the, Doug Copp, repost that I posted I felt I needed to be fair and balanced. Personally, with 20+ years of disaster response demolition, clean up and reconstruction I extrapolated sound and viable information and advice from both articles. I have definitely seen many of the scenarios that Doug Copp illustrated in his expose. Bottom line? Be prepared and Think Wisely.
