Profiting From Foreclosure Auctions

Posted on February 28, 2009 at 6:32 pm
investing in foreclosures
Heather Seitz asked:


When a homeowner becomes delinquent on their mortgage payments the lender begins the lengthy foreclosure process. If no attempts are made to reconcile the debt with the lender, then the property is auctioned off at the public courthouse. A single foreclosed property purchased at an auction can easily earn an investor a years worth of investment income. Right now is perhaps the best time in the history of real estate to invest in foreclosures with a record number of foreclosures reported last year. There are plenty of deals available to the general public but the trick is knowing how to find them

Despite what infomercials on television might tell you, investing in foreclosed homes is not as easy as just walking over to the courthouse. There is a lot of homework that needs to be done before a foreclosed home is purchased at auction. The key to successful investing, especially in real estate, is research. What you know can make all of the difference. If you want to be successful with foreclosures you have to be willing to spend some time doing some research

The internet has made performing research of any kind very easy. While researching a foreclosure online you can easily come across all kinds of valuable information. If you are going to be bidding on a property you need to know what the market value of the home is, and there are a number of free online services that allow you to research the market value of a house for free. However, in order to obtain the most reliable data on market values you will need to join a real estate membership site. A membership site will allow you to obtain up-to-date real estate information and foreclosures at a nominal fee.

Foreclosures have a tendency to be in a state of disrepair by the time they reach the auction block. Only a tiny fraction of foreclosed homes that reach the auction block are in move in condition. This means you need to be prepared to estimate renovation costs to the foreclosed property you are looking at. Unfortunately, many states prohibit you to enter a foreclosed home until after the auction is over. If you live in such a state you should consider speaking with a realtor in your area. Chances are a realtor will know someone who was involved in the foreclosure.

With a little research and patience you can easily find foreclosure deals at auction. But if you really want to make a profit with foreclosures you should consider investing in a foreclosure list service. Such a service will provide you with foreclosure deals as they come available and before they reach the auction block. The earlier you buy the property the better.

Foreclosure.com today announced several upgrades and exciting new features for its revolutionary WordPress-compatible plugin, which allows bloggers, real estate agents and others in the industry to instantly add more than 1.8 million listings to their Web sites.

  • Equity Calculator — Located below the property type tag, this attention-grabbing feature displays the percent of equity in a home, which in many cases can be jaw-dropping.
  • Custom Stat Tracker – Now you can monitor critical user behavior, from which states were searched the most to which cities were in the destination URL … and everything between.
  • Aerial Photos — Pictures and maps are key factors that buyers look for when searching for potential homes/investments, which is the reason all of the listings in our plugin are supported by Google Maps and Virtual Earth satellite technology.
  • Themes — You can now pick from several existing themes to choose/test which works/performs best for your particular Web site.

Extreme Makeover Home Edition Idaho home in foreclosure

Extreme Makeover Home Edition Idaho home in foreclosure
It appears that the happy ending for another family featured on “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” was short lived.

It appears that the happy ending for another family featured on “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” was short lived.

KIVITV.com reports that Eric Hebert — who was featured on an episode of the over-the-top home improvement reality show — is facing foreclosure on his rebuilt (no refurbished) 3,600 square foot home in Sandpoint, Idaho. He reportedly has little more than 90 days to cure the default or lose the home to the bank.

Hebert used the new home as collateral to pay off an old mortgage. However, he lost his job shortly thereafter when the construction company he worked for went out of business. The bills soon began to pile up and he could not come up with the money to pay the bills/mortgage on the new home.

He’s naturally upset about the unfortunate turn of events:

“The sad point is it’s just a great, close-knit community that, they really came together on this whole project in hopes of furthering my future and the kids’ future, and when all that crumbles, you feel like a failure.”

“Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” involves a team of designers, contractors and several 100 workers who all have just seven days to totally rebuild an entire house — every single room, plus the exterior and landscaping, according to the program’s official Web site.

While the intentions are well-placed it is, unfortunately, not uncommon for families featured on the show to run into problems once the construction and camera crews wrap things up.

The Harper family of Lake City, Ga., in fact, had their refurbished house go into foreclosure when its construction business went under (the home was used as collateral) and Sadie Holmes of Florida has had to battle code violations as a result of her remodel. And a family in Oak Park, Mich., was only able to stay in their residence thanks to outside donations.

Hollywood stars such as Britney Spears often go in to foreclosure (to see a list and pictures click here), but this time around it is her manager who is in distress and not the former pop starlet herself.

Her estranged manager, Sam Lufti, is reportedly facing foreclosure on his Californian home after allegedly running up more than $18,000 in debt, according to TMZ.com.

In fact, a collection agency has placed a lien on the Los Angeles property in an effort to recoup the outstanding funds. And if Lufti does not cough up the cash sooner rather than later he could lose the home to foreclosure. He also allegedly owes a United States bank an undisclosed sum for unpaid credit card debt.

Lufti and Spears had a very public and unceremonious split, swapping legal papers and hurling accusations through the media. Spears recently had a restraining order placed on Lufti (and others) and he responded by suing her parents for defamation.

This whole situation sounds “toxic.”

Emerging Real Estate Markets: How to Find and Profit from Up-and-Coming Areas

Posted on February 26, 2009 at 9:00 am

Praise for

Emerging Real Estate Markets

"In this book, you'll discover how to snatch real estate opportunities at low prices, before their value becomes common knowledge. Buy all the copies on the bookshelf before your competitor does!"
--Frank McKinney, "The Maverick Daredevil Real Estate Entrepreneur" and author of Frank McKinney's Maverick Approach to Real Estate Success

"I've never seen another real estate book even come close to laying out a profit road map the way this one does. If your local economy is too hot or too cold, Lindahl's guide will show you how to invest in the up-and-coming markets with the greatest profit potential."
--Stacy Kellams, President, www.RealEstateCourseReviews.com

"Lindahl shows you how to look into the future and see where the next hot real estate markets will be. It's the closest thing I've found to a real estate crystal ball."
--Jeff Adams, President, www.FreeRealEstateMentoring.com

"The brilliant thing about this book is Lindahl's approach to investing by 'remote control.' He has a real-world system for living in one place and making money from investments in another."
--William Bronchick, attorney and coauthor of Flipping Properties

"In the crowded field of real estate gurus, Lindahl stands head-and-shoulders above the rest. This book is must reading for any serious investor--beginner or veteran."
--Justin Ford, author of Seeds of Wealth and Main Street Millionaire
Customer Review: A Must Buy For Anyone Serious About Getting Really Rich In The Current Real Estate Phase!!
My god...I read entirely too much!! Now, I'm not going to lie to you and say that Dave doesn't plug his bootcamps and stuff however, I can honestly say he is the real deal. The dude knows his stuff!! I think the title, "Understanding Real Estate Market Cycles and How To Profit From Them", would have been a little better though.(but what do I know)
Nonetheless, it's a great book and a good introduction to Dave and his methodology.
Can you read his book and then go out there and do it? It depends truthfully. Are you the type of person that needs someone to hold their hand and walk them around the block to show them the scary spots....or are you the type that can realisticlly pull themselves up by their own bootstraps and is willing to stumble a little?
Personally, I'm an active real estate investor in both SFR and multi-family units (duplex, tri, quads) and I still go to seminars and learn the ropes before venturing too far out.
Hey...in a nutshell...BUY THE BOOK READ IT DO IT!! Geez, it's only $20 bucks.
Customer Review: David Lindahl stole his ideas from Marc Garrison the author of "Unlimited Real Estate Profit"
Several years ago David Lindahl was a eager young student of Marc Garrison the author of "Unlimited Real Estate Profit". David even appears on Marc's 21 DVD course. What David has done with his new book is to rip off Marc's work on emerging absorption markets. You should go to Marc's website narei.com to find out more. I would encourage you to read his website selection "The Fifth Migration" and "The Garrison Cycle". Marc started investing in 1978. His profit from his real estate paid for 2 undergraduate degrees, an MBA, then he started work on a Ph.D. in real estate economics. That academic study led him to an understanding of which markets to invest in, which ones to hold in, and which ones to sell in.

I met Marc on one of his BuyingTours. Talk about fantastic. For the past 22 years Marc has knocked home run after home run in 18 new absorption markets. In July of 08 he will open up his 19th emerging absorption market. If you want to be sold / telemarketed contact David Lindahl.

I far prefer Garrison's style - when you call you can talk with Marc if he is not busy. But, if he is busy he will personally call you back as soon as he can. I have studied under 7 or 8 Gurus to date. Marc is the only one that I have ever been able to personally talk with. Marc is a breath of fresh air in the sweat shop hard core telemarketed snake oil sales routine. Read More
