Current mortgage rates lowest in nearly 40 years for Freddie Mac
Posted on January 4, 2009 at 7:00 pmCurrent mortgage rates lowest in nearly 40 years for Freddie Mac
The Federal Reserve once again slashed the federal funds rate on Tuesday from 1 percent down to .25, “aiming to free up lending and jolt the economy back to life,” according to an Associated Press report.

The Federal Reserve once again slashed the federal funds rate on Tuesday from 1 percent down to .25, “aiming to free up lending and jolt the economy back to life,” according to an Associated Press report.
It’s a dramatic move, which caused Freddie Mac mortgage rates to dip to their lowest level since 1971. In fact, 30-year fixed home loan rates can now be locked-in at a staggering 5.19 percent.
That means that homeowners who are facing “balloon” or Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) rate increases — and there is data out there that indicates this could still impact an alarming amount families very soon — can secure more affordable home loans.
In addition, prospective homebuyers can take advantage of the latest-money saving measure. It’s a great opportunity to more than likely get into a home at a reduced price (depending on the local market) and get a loan at a super low rate.

This is great news that can put a lot of extra cash back in the pockets of so many people. And the way things are right now it appears that every little bit helps and could go a long way.
Therefore, take advantage of this current situation if you can, whether you are a homeowner or homebuyer. Opportunities like this do not come around very often.

Miami foreclosure homes turning into squatters paradise

Desperate times call for desperate measures.
The foreclosure crisis has affected families and communities throughout the United States hard … some more than others. Miami, Fla., which at its peak several years ago boasted a booming condominium market, is among those hardest hit.
And rather than let foreclosed homes sit vacant while families fend for themselves on the streets, one local activist, Max Rameau, is taking matters into his own hands and moving families — albeit illegally — into the bank-owned properties.
He’s also doing it in broad daylight and not under the cloak of the night.
Here’s is what he had to say about the brazen initiative:
“We’re matching homeless people with people-less homes…. I think everyone deserves a home. Homeless people across the country are squatting in empty homes. The question is: Is this going to be done out of desperation or with direction?”
Rameau is part of a recently-formed organization called, Take Back the Land. In addition to “placing” homeless families in foreclosure homes the group provides them with “secondhand furniture, cleaning supplies and yard upkeep
As mentioned earlier, this process, which is essentially referred to as squatting, is illegal and punishable by law. However, Rameau and his associates do not seem deterred by the prospect of possible arrest.
Here’s another quote from him:
“Within a couple of months, this place would be stripped and drug dealers would be living here. There’s a real need here, and there’s a disconnect between the need and the law. Being arrested is just one of the potential factors in doing this.”
Rameau has thus far helped six families into foreclosed homes and has nine on a waiting list, according to the report. He has not been arrested or approached by the authorities … yet.

Discover Why Investing in Hud Homes Can Bankrupt You Before You Even Start Your Foreclosure Investing Career
Posted on January 3, 2009 at 8:51 pm
I get asked all the time by new real estate investors if investing in hud homes is a good strategy. I will be recap in this article what I tell them….
The increased demand drives up the price and new investors tend to get any and will buy based on emotion instead of logic because they “just want to get their first deal”. If you pay too much for a property, you will lose your shirt on the deal. That’s why it important to not overpay for the property because you make your money on a property on the day you buy, not the day you sell.
This is why it’s important to have the right real estate investing training so you know how to spot the good deals from the bad and not overpay for a property. Your first deal can bankrupt if you don’t structure it the right way. I see this all the time in my real estate investment club. The guys that don’t take the time to invest in their education are soon out of business because they try and figure it out on their own and fail.
Short Sales are a great way to guarantee that you won’t overpay for properties. If you are wondering “what is a short sale “or are wondering what the “definition of a short sale is“here you go. A Short Sale is when the lender accepts less than what is owed on a mortgage on home foreclosures.
All of The deals are no money down.
We don’t give the sellers any money when we get the deed to their house.
The only thing you have to pay when you get a deal is the cost of the notary and recording fee when you record your deed. That’s a maximum of $100. Now my acquisitions manager is a notary so I don’t pay any notary fees. If you don’t put any money down on the house, you aren’t putting any money at risk.
You don’t need good credit to do short sale deals.
You don’t need to go get a mortgage when you do short sales deals. If you don’t need to use your credit, you aren’t putting your credit at risk. You fund the deal the way you structure the transaction. You fund the deal by either:
The ability to own houses without having to make monthly mortgage payments.
There are no monthly payments to make for short sale deals. The houses are either
in foreclosure or about to be in foreclosure. You don’t need to make any payments therefore you aren’t putting any money at risking making monthly payments.
Preforeclosures and Short Sales are extremely easy to find right now.
There aren’t enough investors out there to handle all of the deals in the market. That’s why I’m on a mission to equip you with all of the resources you need so you can go out there and help all of these struggling homeowners and make a lot of money while doing it.
You may here some real estate speakers say to stay away from foreclosures because there is too much competition. Well that was then and this is now. They are teaching old information because they are not currently practicing what they preach. I am actively buying and selling foreclosures in my own backyard and I know what works and what doesn’t work. And I have to tell you there is no competition for preforeclosure and short sales now because there are so many of them.
Short Sales are easy to get because it doesn’t require you to do a lot of negotiating with the seller because they know they don’t have any equity and they’re just looking for a way out. You are their solution! I love working with short sale sellers because they are the most motivated sellers out there.
Short Sales are the most profitable quick turn deals to do in residential real estate because you’re making all of your profit on the discount with the lender
One of the biggest benefits of the short sale business is that it works even better on Luxury Homes. The banks are more flexible and more negotiable on larger mortgages. Banks don’t want to take houses back and they definitely don’t want to take back Luxury homes.
It takes the same amount of work to do a deal on a luxury home than it does to do a starter home. The difference is A Luxury home pays 10 times as much profit. Its like doing 10 deals in one and when you combine the short sale strategy with luxury homes, you’ve got the golden ticket.
You See, Banks are in the money business. They’re not in the Real Estate business. They don’t want to own any properties. Their only interest is making interest on their money. Foreclosing on homes is a hassle they have to deal with because it’s a cost of doing business for them. The sooner you understand this the sooner you will realize how huge this opportunity is for you right now.
When banks lend out money – they have to keep a multiple of 5 times the amount of money they lend out in reserves. When a loan goes bad, it’s now considered a non-performing asset and that limits the amount of money they can lend out.
It costs a bank a minimum of $30,000 to foreclose on a home. They would rather take a discount on the mortgage and get that bad debt off their books so they can lend out more money.
You are the solution for them. Banks need you to help them liquidate their houses so they can get rid of their bad debt. You are doing them a great service.

Customer Review: wasted money (in my oppinion)
If I was marketing narrated c.d.s all over the internet-I would edit out the ums. He says "UM" sometimes 2-4 times in one sentence. The narrator is enthusiastic about the subject, but could offer more info., it seems, if he had researched a bit. He speaks only from his knowledge/experience (seems like)-that may explain all the "you Know" and "um" filler throughout- I found listening grinding on my nerves for that reason. Read More

Shift your real estate investing career high gear this year with foreclosures and jump start your personal financial situation by turning huge profits in 90 days or less.
Foreclosure.com Director of Education, Linda Yates, will show you how to begin 2009 on the right foot in a FREE Webinar training presentation, which is dubbed “Make 2009 $hine with Real Estate Foreclosures,” on Wednesday, January 14 at 7 p.m. ET.
When the market is booming, foreclosures are few and far between — homeowners in good economic times more often than not have the wherewithal to stay current on their mortgages. They also have the upper hand when it comes to selling, enjoying the luxury of considering multiple offers … usually all at or more than fair market value.
Accordingly, the opportunities to capitalize on bank-owned homes are minimized.
However, in a situation that we are currently experiencing, which is the result of unaffordable Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) loans, job losses and utter financial turmoil, foreclosure homes are more readily available. And, with inventories soaring across the board lenders are looking to liquidate sooner rather than later to avoid crushing carrying costs.
Always remember: Banks are in the money business and not real estate sales.
Therefore, there is a ton of money to be made RIGHT NOW for those smart (and brave) enough to capitalize on these amazing deals. Banks are basically letting homes go for a fraction of their true values.
Linda is set to show you how to strike it rich in real estate in 2009 during this 60-minute FREE online training session. Linda will breakdown the entire process from A to Z, ensuring you know exactly how to get your feet wet before it’s too late.
This is a “must-see” presentation that is designed to help you cash in on a starving market and earn money hand-over-fist. It’s going to be a Happy New Year indeed … make 2009 your most profitable year ever by taking advantage of deals that only come around once in a lifetime!
To register or to learn more about “Make 2009 $hine with Real Estate Foreclosures” click here. It’s totally FREE!

Season three winner of “American Idol” — the smashing singing show series from FOX — apparently defaulted on a loan for one of her homes in Charlotte, N.C., and could lose it to foreclosure, according to the New York Post.
In fact, court records indicate that the sprawling 6,500-square-foot $1.3 million house will head to the auction block on January 12, 2009, if the matter is not resolved before then.
Broward Energy Management claims that the R&B/soul singer — who also recently starred as Celie in the Broadway musical of Oprah Winfrey’s “The Color Purple” — is delinquent on a $58,000 loan.
However, the report refers to the lender as “shadowy.” In addition, TMZ.com recently reported that representatives close to Barrino revealed that this is all “just a misunderstanding.”
Time will tell … hopefully it all works out well for her in the end.
Barrino hails from High Point in the “Tar Heel State.” She owns another home in Charlotte near the one that is currently the subject of foreclosure talk.
