How to make MORE MONEY in LESS time following HREU Daily Minimum Standards. Parkinson’s Law says that “work expands to fill the time allotted for it’s completion”. Pareto’s Principle says that “20% of your time creates 80% of your results.” Taken together, these points should cause you to be introspective as a skilled and focused prospector. You create your business instead of waiting for it to create you. What are the activities that generate the most results for you? (Usually that also means the most income.)

Will the landmark 2007 Mortgage Debt Relief Act be extended beyond its current Dec. 31, 2012 date? Under curent U.S. tax law law, a homeowner with an underwater mortgage who goes through a short sale (or foreclosure) has part of his debt forgiven by a bank will in most cases not owe any added income tax. ( See your accountant or CPA) This forgiven debt had been treated as a ‘gift’ from the bank. As a gift, that money is income and taxable by the IRS when the homeowner fills out his yearly income taxes. However, the 2007 Act (effective […] Click Here To View More

Short sales, deficiency judgments….questions and answers. Question: This is a real question from a real homeowner who sold their home as a short sale over a year ago. “What should I do if I get a collections notice after a short sale closes….in other words, the lender is threatening a deficiency judgment or has (maybe wrongfully) obtained a deficiency judgment against me?” Answer: Assuming your agent was HREU trained and followed the HREU short sale process there won’t be a deficiency judgment. There is a more or less standardized process for closing short sales. Most major lenders follow the exact […] Click Here To View More

Source: Realtor.org REO Auctions Should See Uptick Soon Lenders are starting to get the picture that they can’t keep REO properties in their portfolio forever, according to a new analysis from PropertyAuction.com. The practice the company has dubbed “extend and pretend” — which refers to banks “extending” the holding period of a property in their portfolio while “pretending” that the value is still what it used to be when they made the loan — seems to no longer be applicable.

Agents, are you aware of the fact that new lending requirements (Starting NEXT MONTH) will require 20% down payments on mortgages. Yes, you read that correctly…20% down will be the new minimum requirement thanks to the new QRW Lending Rules. Welcome to the new world of QRM: Qualified Residential Mortgage The new QRM requirements exclude FHA mortgages. However, as you will learn in this video the NAR believes that higher downpayment loan requirements will trickle down to FHA loans as well. With non-FHA mortgages putting less than 20% down will require a very nasty interest rate and other added fees. […] Click Here To View More

Are we in the midst of shift away from the mindset that the American Dream is to own a home? Cold hard facts are just that…cold and hard. In this video you will hear a dispassionate view of housing.

Did you purchase a home in 2008…(Agents, did you sell a home to your buyer clients in 2008)? If the $7500 first time home buyer tax credit was used to purchase the home…its payback time. Unlike the buyer ‘credits’ that came in 2009 and extended into 2010 the 2008 $7500 credit was in essence a loan. Now, that loan is due. For many people who purchased a home for the first time in 2008, it’s payback time. It sounded like a great deal: become a first-time homebuyer and pocket up to $7,500 in a tax credit.

We don’t know Professor White. But, we appreciate what he is saying…and now, what he is DOING. Dr. White has taken the strategic default movement out of the shadows on a national scale. He advocates owners walking away from their underwater homes through a foreclosure. We don’t. We advocate that agents help strategically defaulting owners avoid a foreclosure through a short sale. Simple fact is, a short sale is in almost every case a vastly superior alternative to a foreclosure. Agents, read this blurb about Professor Whites seminar. He has a seminar where he expects to have 600 underwater owners […] Click Here To View More
