The ‘New Congress’ Fiddles Away Valuable Time… As The 275,000 Insurable Limit For Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (Reverse Mortgages) Is Fast Approaching While the ‘New Congress’ fiddles away valuable time Thursday the 15th of February 2007 the limit will stop future originations of Reverse Mortgages under the federally insured Home Equity Conversion Mortgage. This has been a very successful program. It has been refined over many years to what it is to day. Previous private sector programs in many cases were ripping seniors off with high fees. While Congress may put a temporary lift on the 275,000 units per year of Reverse Mortgage cases that will be a Band-Aid at best. The Mark Is Selected…The Fix Is In…Sting Underway A passerby walking down the street discovers a wallet beside a stranger and it just so happens to be packed with wads of cash. The newfound friend proposes splitting the cash if the owner can’t be found. Then there is the bank “examiner” who calls a bank customer with an appeal to catch a dishonest teller. All the mark has to do is make a withdrawal to affect the capture of this teller putting her money and all the other bank customers at risk. We can’t forget the urgent online appeals on the Internet from a far foreign land where help is needed from the mark to move millions from offshore banks to a U.S. account with the only thing required is a good faith deposit to make it all happen. Yes greed and promises of massive rewards do play a part in all these schemes. Everyone is looking for a good deal that works out at a big profit. Some are legitimate deals and some are schemes. If it looks too good to be true, it probably is. Real Estate Investors…Get Off The Sideline And Get Into The Game In A "Slow" Market… All For Fun And Profit For months now many Realtors have been pacing the floor wondering where their next sale was coming from. The bad news drips off the front pages reporting for all to see how bad the real estate market has become. Thickets of real estate signs explode out of the ground much like the peak of any mushroom season. Sellers are now buying into the story believing the market is slow. For buyers who just as little as six months ago were pushing prices with little cash flow properties suddenly, these same properties have become ugly overnight. Shrewd investors always look for buying opportunities. Whether it is stocks, coins, gold, bonds, collectibles, antique cars, or real estate the investment principals apply. The typical successful contrarian looks for spots to make a move. If there isn’t any worthwhile action they simply stay liquid and move to cash. When the hand wringing begins by the general public the shrewd investor starts to lean forward on the edge of their chairs and begins to focus their collective gaze toward potential opportunities. Currently, there is a huge inventory of listed properties just sitting on the market in the Multiple Listing Services (MLS) in many areas. Some of these potential opportunities have motivated seller some do not. It is necessary to focus on the listed properties that have a motivated seller. With well thought offers, fun and profits can result.
