What is Foreclosure? - 06/21/10 11:39 AM
This is how RealtyTrac.com defines foreclosure: Foreclosure is a process that allows a lender to recover the amount owed on a defaulted loan by selling or taking ownership (repossession) of the property securing the loan. The foreclosure process begins when a borrower/owner defaults on loan payments (usually mortgage payments) and the lender files a public default notice, called a Notice of Default or Lis Pendens. The foreclosure process can end one of four ways:
The borrower/owner reinstates the loan by paying off the default amount during a grace period determined by state law. This grace period is also known as pre-foreclosure. … (3 comments)

8. BUY WITH FHA FINANCING
The FHA, created in 1934 to heal the housing market during the Great Depression, doesn’t lend money to homebuyers, but insures lenders against default on loans that meet FHA criteria. FHA loans are popular with many buyers because it is basically the only loan product in the current market that still requires a relatively low down payment — less than 5 percent. The FHA also has a loan program called 203(k), … (0 comments)

Bistro 42 - Asheboro, NC - 06/18/10 06:10 PM
I've been feeling a healthy kick coming on. Today I decided to forgo any deep-fried, bad-for-me foods. I decided to eat a salad.
Now, where in Asheboro can you get a fresh, delicious salad, made to order?  Bistro 42. It's conveniently located in a quaint little spot at the Shoppes on 42.
So, before I came to my senses and changed my mind, I picked up the phone and called 336-625-3663. I think I spoke to the chef and owner himself, Luke Armitage. I said "I want a salad. A good salad. Now." (or something close to that). He said "Ok! What do you … (0 comments)

10 Real Estate Investing Tactics (6 & 7) - 06/16/10 09:07 AM
 


6. BUY A VACATION HOME
A well-purchased vacation home gives you an inexpensive place to land periodically throughout the year for some rest and relaxation, but it also can generate substantial rental revenue when you’re not using it. In hot vacation spots, demand is high for affordable alternatives to hotels and motels — especially from vacationers planning to stay a week or more. Filling the property with renters during just a few months of the year can often produce more than enough revenue to cover your annual property expenses.

7. BUY WITH CASH

3. BUY AT PUBLIC FORECLOSURE AUCTION
Buying at the public foreclosure auction is not for the inexperienced buyer or investor because it often requires significant amounts of cash and does not typically allow for a full inspection of a property prior to bidding. However, lenders are becoming more willing to discount opening bids at public foreclosure auctions, giving knowledgeable and careful investors an opportunity to buy far below market without the red tape of short sales or the bureaucracy of bank-owned sales.
4. BUY LOW AND RENT
With prices at 2003-or-lower levels, bargain-seeking buyers might want to consider buying … (0 comments)

I'll Bet you Thought You Knew Everything.... - 06/03/10 09:50 PM
So, you live in Asheboro, and you think you know pretty much all there is to know about the area, right??
Well, I was born here, and I grew up here, but the longer I live here, the more I realize that there’s a whole bunch of stuff I DON’T know about my hometown of Asheboro.
I am participating in the Leadership Randolph program this year through the Asheboro/Randolph Chamber of Commerce. I knew it would be interesting, but I had NO IDEA how cool our information sessions and field trips would be.
