Recognize This Growing Market
Women own and operate 38% of all businesses in America and comprise 40% of the business school graduates. Now add to that, interest rates at history-making lows along with home prices that are making their own history. What do you have? It’s a perfect storm.
Hang on! More Foreclosures Are Coming
So what’s the bottom Line here? Although the number of delinquent properties and shadow inventory continue to rise, early indications seem to point toward a reality check sometime in the near future. Once existing inventory is purchased, expect a significant lag time to meet growing demand. In other words, supply will once again have to catch up with demand. Currently, distressed homeowners have reduced expenses, moved in with family and made other temporary arrangements in an effort to “ride out the storm.” I expect that short term solutions will eventually give rise to the need for permanent housing.
To Modify or Not To Modify
That was the hope of the U.S. government when they decided to “bailout” the banks. Some of the money that went to these troubled banks was allocated for helping approximately 750,000 troubled families to save the family home. The idea was to reduce the monthly payment to an acceptable level….maybe even some of the principle. All would work well if everyone cooperated and tried to do the right thing.
What About Private Lending?
Financial loans are financial opportunities in disguise. It can provide the private lender a great return on their money while securing their funds with a note in first position on your new home at a loan-to-value of 65-70%. In this down market property values present a terrific opportunity for securing retirement funds as well.

When Do All These Foreclosure End
I have stated for some time now in my blogs, speeches, webinars and on my website, that this thing isn’t over yet – far from it. I do not see millions of educated, well payed Americans all taking the housing value implosion sitting down! The American way has historically been to take more than you give. Most people will not accept this short fall of hundreds of thousands of dollars. They will wrestle with the moral dilemma for a while but, in the end, will do their best to sell their home short and cut their losses.
Who’s Buying Up Our Houses?
As a real estate wholesaler I am encouraged to Euros, GB Pound, Yen, Rubles and the like come into our market as it strengthens our position. We have a clear advantage. We are here! We should also have some insight into our local markets and this will help us to “bird dog” deals to wholesale to foreign cash buyers. And once the market starts a solid climb, local cash home buyers will “come out of the woodwork.”
Brace Yourself for the “Borrower’s Revolt of 2010!”
During the last decade especially, lenders had no scruples about lending more than many families could afford or, for that matter, more than the property was worth. The illustrative “loan committee” with all its superior “wisdom” consistently allowed this kind of abuse so that we are now faced with a nationwide mortgage crisis of huge proportions. Interestingly, a fast growing facet of the legal industry is that which goes after lenders for predatory practices.

Why All The Interest in Detroit?
Is Detroit going through some very tough times? Yes. And that is precisely why there is an opportunity. For example, when the construction industry was booming, heavy equipment such as excavators, loaders and the like could only be purchased at retail prices. When the construction market collapsed, suddenly you could buy those same pieces of heavy equipment for pennies on the dollar. That was an opportunity for those who had the means to take advantage and buy while the market was down.

How Do You Know If A Business Should Be Condemned?
You've seen condemned houses right? I mean, it's not a pretty sight. Holes where there aren't supposed to be holes. Boards where there are supposed to be windows.
