owner financing: As someone who specializes in Owner Financing and Lease Options, I’m SCARED! - 06/15/09 11:42 AM
OK,

it can be a great tool for sellers. But Representative Brad Miller (D)
of North
Carolina introduced a bill
HR 1728 that basically makes it so the

Today I got a call from a lady who was crying uncontrollably. So much so that I was having a hard time understanding her. But, when I finally got her to calm down enough that I could understand her, she wanted to know what she could do. She had gone with

I'm glad to say that in the last year I'm probably one of a handful of agents in the Beaverton and Tigard area that is doing better this year than I did last year. Now I know the top producers, and thanks to Google Alerts, I now know they know me

owner financing: I’m a qualified buyer, but I want lower payments. What do I do? - 08/14/08 10:12 AM
With interest rates creeping up every month and down payments near 3%, I am finding more and more buyers that like the houses they are finding, but don't like the payments they are being quoted from the lenders.

owner financing: Should the banks listen early to avoid costing themselves thousands? - 07/21/08 10:04 AM
Many of us have taken vitamin c when we feel a cold coming on and why do we do that? Because we know if we don't we could be missing a lot more work and money during the down time while we try to get better.

There are many reasons people do either a lease option or owner financing, but usually the biggest is credit issues. Now, this doesn't mean that all people taking these options are in this situation.
I've had many people do a lease option because they are hired on at a position

Recently I got a call from someone that I had met a couple weeks back at an open house, the house I had wasn't the one for them, but they were out looking and said they would contact me if they found something. I didn't want to push it as it

Did you know by having poor credit that you are missing a lot in life? It's also costing you thousands every year that you didn't even know about. Let me explain. You know with bad credit you could be turned down for home loans, auto loans and credit cards, but that

owner financing: Never write an earnest money check to the agent directly or to CASH (Part 2) - 01/22/08 03:02 PM
This was sad for me to watch, because it sounded like to me they were looping anyone and everyone who did lease options or owner financing together as crooks, which just isn't the case. Some of us are really here to help people get in to the dream of home ownership.

I've heard others on here talk about multi streams of income and now it looks like I've been given that opportunity in 2008. You see I've been asked to write two books on real estate, including one on lease options and how to use it to invest your way to wealth.

I was talking to a client today and she said, "When I think of you, this is what comes to mind." I had to laugh. She said, "So many people are never willing to think out of the box and when they die, you have to wonder if they regret it. With
