the real estate investment institute: It's Different, Fun And Attention Getting - 12/20/10 06:26 AM
It's Different, Fun And Attention Getting.  Funny how what you thought you lost can come back to you unexceptedly! Such is the case with "Wordle." Some one here on Active Rain recommenced Wordle a couple of years ago, I'd played with it and then forgot it. Every once in a while someone would use it, but I'd forgotten the name and couldn't find it.-


I've been away from my desk for a few days using my lap top. Board I was cleaning up yhe much neglected "favorites" file when what jumps out at me? "Wordle!"

the real estate investment institute: In Search Of The Simpatico - 08/21/09 02:00 AM
As my readers know I'm a people centric pragmatist. I believe in total fiduciary to my clients, students and readers. I also believe there is always more than one way. I'm always in search of or evangelizing to the simpatico consumers and professionals.
Active Rain offers us a chance to find the like minded like no other! "It has given all of us the opportunity to share the knowledge and experience of the old sages and the bright beginners, it is wonderful!" It's not always easy to find what we need, but it's normally there! I took a call for The … (6 comments)

the real estate investment institute: Can You Buy A Short Sale - 08/18/09 05:48 AM
Of course you can!
The big question is should you? Do you have the temperament to buy a Short Sale home?
Short Sales, where you buy your home for less than what the seller owes on the property are probably the best buys in real estate since Peter Minuet bought that island from the Indians.
Short Sales are normally even better buys than REO's, homes the bank owns after foreclosing on them. REO's have almost always been great buys and most still are.
Short Sales unlike many REO's are generally well keep and occupied like most seller occupied homes. You can … (42 comments)

the real estate investment institute: Opportunity Check List Redacted - 08/07/09 07:12 AM
If I'm to believe the bloggs my students do a better job interviewing sellers both FSBO's and listed sellers, than many pro's!
I'm tired of reading about agents being surprised by the sellers defaults and NOD filings. So I'm posting a redacted version (Almost like what you get from a FOI request) of the check list my students use.

the real estate investment institute: The Myopic Stenotopic Among Us - 07/28/09 12:04 AM
Among us we have so many short sighted, illogical, unadaptable, entitlementist, functionally incompetents that seem willing to commit occupational genocide.
So many are unable to adapt to change, so many would die before accepting that we're all in this tegether! I believe it was little Bennie Franklin that said:"We must all hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately." Certainly we are all in the same boat, Honest: REALTORS®, Loan Originators, Mortgage Wholesalers, Banks, Stock Holders, Bond Holders, and Builders.

the real estate investment institute: Things Learned From Here To Yonder - 07/27/09 07:43 AM
I try to learn from those I associate with, that's why I like Active Rain. I've been this way all my life, associate with only the best of people and learn and use what I can. I spent 5 days a month for just over a decade with Michigan's CCIM marketing group and Chapter # 1 of The Farm and Land Institute, the best of the best were active in both groups. Some of the best people I ever met.
So it goes today! I learn what I can, interpret it! I apply it and share it judicially, in my own … (7 comments)

the real estate investment institute: Ability Motivation Attitude - 07/23/09 06:40 AM
"Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivationdetermines what you do. Attitude determines how well you doit."  -- Raymond Chandler


 Ability, Earl Nightingale said that "what your mind can conceive of and believe in you are capable of!" Of course there are limitations self imposed limitations! What abilities you can't develop you can hire! Personal physical limitations are never an excuse.
Motivation, is strictly personal. Personally, I've strived for most of my life to be the person Brenda sees in me.
Attitude, is a desire to live up to your motivation. Attitude is understanding that while you can't do … (9 comments)

Assuming you're a first time home buyer or starting over. Assuming you've got a little savings, but not a lot. Assuming you've paid your bills consistently. It's time to buy a house!
Assuming you don't have $34,000.00 plus closing cost and moving cost and utility deposits. Assuming you can save slowly. Assuming the nice home you're renting is making the land lord … (6 comments)

the real estate investment institute: PMI / MI They Are Not What You Think They Are - 07/12/09 03:49 AM
PMI/MI is very miss understood. PMI/MI does not insure the home owner. PMI/MI is used when the buyer doesn't have the 20% down payment (equity) required by depository lenders. It insures the bank/lender in the event of default that the bank will never suffer a loss any larger than they would have if the original loan had been for no more than 80% LTV, Loan To Value of the lower of original value or purchase price. It should have been called HBPB for Home Buyers Performance Bound then there would be less confusion.
From the home buyers point of view PMI, … (8 comments)
