			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="margin:0 auto;float:left;padding-right:5px"><img src="http://thm-a03.yimg.com/image/c570b99b97993e8e" alt="A Guide to Going Bankrupt in Real Estate!!!" width="250" height="180" /></div>
<p>First off, watch some late night infomercials on TV.  And possibly order some real estate tapes from Carlton Sheets.  This will provide you with a positive upbeat attitude and a sense of false confidence that is essential in order to go bankrupt.  Believe that after listening to some tapes, you can compete with people that have done this 7 days a week for years.</p>
<p>Second.  For your first investment, buy in a city you know little<span id="more-900"></span> to nothing about and avoid using a buyers agent who does know the city.  Go directly to the sellers agent.  The best way to make a truly horrible decision is to avoid any outside advice.  The best part of this is that avoiding a buyers agent usually doesn&#8217;t save you any money since the selling agent simply makes more when you deal with them directly.</p>
<p>Look for a discount or a distressed property over a good long term investment.  Late night infomercials and Carlton Sheets talk a lot about this.  Getting equity at the point of sale.  One thing about distressed properties with desperate sellers is that they frequently are in crappy areas with low appreciation rates.  Buying a property at under market rate in an area with low appreciation potential versus a property in a good area is the kind of short sighted thinking that will really help you reach the goal of bankruptcy and foreclosure.</p>
<p>When you talk to people including your realtor, try to spend time talking about all the crap you learned from your book or light night infomercial.   The more you listen to other people, the more you might get different perspectives and the higher chance you might learn new things.  This could really hurt your chances of going bankrupt so avoid listening to anyone.  Remember you know everything even if you only got interested in real estate last week.</p>
<p>Be positive to the point of stupidity.  Alot of investors I know always think about how their situation would be affected by a 10 or 20 percent drop in the market before making a purchase.  You should avoid this kind of thinking.  You need to be blinded by greed.  You should only fantasize about how you are going to double your money.</p>
<p>When calculating your monthly cashflow, assume that you will have 100% occupancy all the time and no maintenance cost.  While you are at assume that its going to rain money tomorrow.</p>
<p>Also, be stubborn when renting your properties.  Decide upon a number say $900 a month and refuse to budge.  Come up with some bizarre logic about how the property deserves $900 a month.  Lose months of rent having the property sit vacant instead of going down $50 on the rent.  Instead of responding to the market make statements like &#8220;Well the markets wrong then&#8221;.</p>
<p>As you move closer to foreclosure, don&#8217;t alter your spending habits.  Don&#8217;t move into a smaller house or cut spending.  Act like nothing is wrong.</p>
<p>Overextend, overextend, overextend.  Are you approved to buy one house.  Why not buy 5, heck why not 20.  Instead of building up a portfolio of properties over time, gaining experience along the way, just buy alot of properties next Tuesday.</p>
<p>Alot of people are getting into the foreclosure game.  Their is no reason you should be left behind.  Throwing caution to the wind and filling your eyes with greed and you should find yourself walking down the golden path to foreclosure.</p>
<p>This is not a definitive guide to foreclosure.  Alot of people end up in foreclosure due to many things unforeseen events like unpreventable family illness, divorce or job loss.  This is simply a guide to what I call elective foreclosure.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="margin:0 auto;float:left;padding-right:5px"><img src="http://thm-a03.yimg.com/image/4db88279a20c0a9e" alt="Why Should You Buy Investment Real Estate  In College Towns?" width="250" height="180" /></div>
<p>Now seems to be the best time to invest in properties in college towns where housing demand is high due to a soaring rental market according to the New rules of real estate by Business 2.0 Magazine. With home prices still out of home buyer&#8217;s range, and homeowners selling their homes due to rising interest rates, rents are expected to increase nationwide. This makes buying investment property in rental markets such as college towns an attractive o<span id="more-896"></span>ption, one that is already being pursued by investors. Rents are expected to rise by 5 % by the end of this year according to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), and investors are looking at college towns with increased interest.</p>
<p>There are two major reasons why it is prudent to buy investment property in college towns now. When compared with other rental markets, the rentals in apartment buildings in college towns are much stronger and hence more profitable. This has been augmented by the fact that apartment buildings in college towns are fewer in number. This demand for apartment buildings has also increased due to the rising admissions in colleges mostly from the Gen Y or the echo boomers, which has further increased the asking rates in the college town rental markets. These properties have a low vacancy rate, especially in buildings located near the campuses. Investors in commercial apartment buildings also get to increase their rent with the mounting demand making such investment a highly profitable venture.</p>
<p>So if you are a prospective landlord who has decided to encash this favorable situation, then you can start with choosing the college town that has the lowest ratio of university-owned beds to the student population. As Michael Zaransky, co-founder of Prime Property Investors in Chicago says, prospective investors would do well to pick the college towns that have the ratio of university-owned beds to students at 30 % or lower. One should also look into colleges that propose to expand their student ranks by 2 or 3 % every year.</p>
<p>Investors should also need to take into consideration the disadvantages involved in owning commercial apartment buildings in college towns. The business could be trying sometimes, and involves risks with college policies liable to changes and the difficulty involved in predicting volatile student demand. However, considering the high rate of returns that the investment has to offer, the pros seem to far outnumber the cons making buying investment property in college towns a smart option.</p>

<p>Despite a recent slowdown, the U.S. real estate market continues to be a popular investment destination for foreign investors. Attracted by a desirable return on investment, many foreign nations continue to invest heavily in the U.S. residential and commercial real estate markets. In fact, in 2005, foreign investment in U.S. real estate reached 1.83 trillion.</p>
<p>To evaluate the impact of foreign investment on the U.S. real estate market<span id="more-888"></span>, the National Association of Realtors (NAR) produced a 2006 report entitled &#8216;Foreign Investment in U.S. Real Estate: Current Trends and Historical Perspective.&#8217; The report provides insights into the trends in foreign real estate investment, its impact on the U.S. economy, and the major countries that participate in U.S. real estate investment. Below are some highlights from the NAR report.</p>
<p>According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, the top seven countries that had significant holdings in U.S. real estate as of 2005 were:</p>
<p>Germany &#8211; 13 %<br />
Latin America &#8211; 13 %<br />
Australia &#8211; 11 %<br />
Japan -10 %<br />
United Kingdom &#8211; 10 %<br />
Canada &#8211; 6 %<br />
Netherlands &#8211; 6 %</p>
<p>The U.S. economy is wide open to foreign investors. Both investors and Americans significantly benefit from all this foreign investment. The NAR study estimates that without foreign investments in the securities market, the long-term lending rates would be four percentage points higher than the current rate, which would adversely impact the U.S. real estate market.</p>
<p>Foreign direct investment into the U.S. not only creates more jobs but also contributes to the demand for U.S. real estate. In fact, foreign investment may be responsible for creating two million U.S. jobs by the end of 2006, which further bolsters the demand for U.S. real estate.</p>
<p>Permanent and temporary immigration of foreign-born workers into the U.S. further bolsters the demand for real estate. According to the Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard University, 1.2 million net immigrants are expected to arrive in the United States annually. This immigration pattern is expected to offset the decrease in housing demand by post baby-boomer generations.</p>
<p>In summary, the impact of foreign investment and immigration into the U.S. will continue to play a major role in the U.S. real estate market.</p>

<p>A lot of people these days are preaching about the buying and holding method of gaining wealth with real estate. There indeed may come a time in your life or business when you&#8217;ll want to hang on to a piece of property, although you&#8217;ll only be interested in keeping certain types of property. If you&#8217;re just starting out, flipping a house may be an ideal way to get started.</p>
<p>Basically, there are three ways that you can flip a house, alth<span id="more-894"></span>ough each one has its own terms, motivation, and type of property. The first method is known as retailing. What this means, is that you buy a house in bad shape, do the repairs to fix it up, then turn around and sell it. There are a variety of houses in need of repairs out there, and several ways that you can quickly flip a house to net profit. All you need to know are the techniques that will get you the most money in the least amount of time.</p>
<p>The second way you can flip a house is though wholesaling. Wholesaling involves finding a home for sale then flipping it to an investor for a fast, yet small profit. To do this, you&#8217;ll need to know the real estate investors in your area, the types of homes that flip the best, and how to fund your property so you can flip it to them. If you live in a big area or a city, you&#8217;ll find that using the wholesaling method of flipping houses is actually easier to accomplish.</p>
<p>The third way to flip a house is by assigning the purchase. Using this method, you&#8217;ll commit to buy the house. Instead of closing the deal yourself, you&#8217;ll assign it to a real estate investor &#8211; of course for a small fee. The investor will take the contract over and close the purchase themselves &#8211; flipping the house. This can be very profitable, especially if you invest in the right home. You don&#8217;t need to have your contract worded any special way to be legal, although you will need to determine the assignment fee.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re looking to break into the real estate market and make big bucks, you&#8217;ll need to learn all about flipping houses. Flipping houses is very profitable, especially once you have learned the basics. The first and third methods are the best, although they will both take quite a bit of work on your part. Restoring homes isn&#8217;t easy, and you&#8217;ll need to have a team qualified to handle any repairs. Assigning the purchase may be difficult when you first start out, although it will get easier with time. If you stay at it and do your best to make a profit &#8211; you&#8217;ll be an expert at flipping homes in no time at all.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="margin:0 auto;float:left;padding-right:5px"><img src="http://thm-a02.yimg.com/image/2a798d6406c14140" alt="Role Of Real Estate Agent In Vacation And Second Home Markets" width="250" height="180" /></div>
<p>Second home sales have been increasing over the last few years with more people becoming second home owners. In 2005 alone, 40 percent of the homes sold were second homes. Demographics, all time low mortgage rates, and healthy rise in home prices have contributed to this development in the second home market. Besides these, a major factor that has helped augment the buying and selling of second homes is the real estate professional.</p>
<p><span id="more-895"></span>The National Association of Realtors conducted research on the profile of second-home owners in 2006. According to the NAR report entitled &#8217;2006 Profile of Second-Home Owners&#8217;, a majority of second home sales transactions are conducted using the services of real estate agents.</p>
<p>The statistics are remarkable; 64 % of vacation home buyers purchased their home using the services of a real estate agent by the end of 2005 &#8211; a marked increase from less than 50 % of vacation-home buyers in 2003. Also, 65 % of investment-home buyers purchased their home with the help of a real estate agent &#8211; an increase from 53 % of pre-2003. In comparison, only 14 % of vacation-home buyers and 7 % of investment-home buyers purchased directly from builders from 2003 to 2005.</p>
<p>The growing role of the real estate professional is evident from the following figures:</p>
<p>1. Of vacation home sales made, 71 % of them were second homes and 74 % of the sales were made using the services of a real estate agent.</p>
<p>2. Of the investment properties sold, 85 % of them were previously owned and 62 % of the sales were made using the services of a real estate agent.</p>
<p>The use of real estate agents in second home sales transactions varied according to the home&#8217; location.</p>
<p>1. Buyers used a real estate agent more frequently while purchasing a vacation home located in a suburb/subdivision (56 %) or a rural area (57 %) than for homes in other locations.</p>
<p>2. About 66 % of buyers who purchased an investment property in an urban/central city area or in a suburb/subdivision, used the services of a real estate agent more frequently than those who purchased a home in other locations.</p>
<p>Real estate professionals continue to be the first source of information to second-home buyers (38 % of vacation-home buyers and 34 % of investment-home buyers). The real estate professional also plays a major role when second-home owners plan to buy additional properties. If you are thinking of buying a second home or vacation home, seek out the services of a real estate agent to guide you through your next home purchase.</p>
<p>1. The percentage of second home owners who are more likely to use a real estate agent in their next home purchase is quite high. Among vacation-home owners it is 79 % and investment-home owners 73 %.</p>
<p>2. Among second home owners, 65 % of vacation-home owners and 64% of investment-property owners are more likely to use a real estate agent in their next home sales.</p>
<p>Given these statistics, it is no wonder that the real estate agent plays a pivotal role in helping people buy and sell second homes. So whether you are a second-home buyer or seller, enlist the services of an agent for a smooth, hassle free real estate transaction.</p>

<p>Green Happiness</p>
<p>“He who plants a garden, plants happiness” is an old saying. However, things have changed a lot nowadays. Today, the proverb could be thought of as “He who plants a garden, plants money!” When it comes to selling a house, landscaping is an important factor that determines the value of the property. Real estate gurus believe that gardens around a house can contribute more than 10% to the total value of the proper<span id="more-899"></span>ty. Moreover, the houses with attractive gardens, particularly mature trees, are easily saleable when compared to the other houses with limited or underdeveloped landscaping. Investing a little time in tending your garden can really pay dividends when it comes to selling your home.</p>
<p>Enjoying Green</p>
<p>Houses with gardens around them are excellent choices for those who wish to enjoy time outside, while not travelling far to do so. It is always refreshing to open the door and go out into the garden and smell the flowers, plants, and trees.  Most of us spend less time enjoying the greenery in public parks and sanctuaries since they are becoming more scarce and because of urban sprawl are often far away. Since most of us will never have a chance to visit the tropical rain forests of Central America why not invest a few dollars and house and have your own piece of nature right outside your door?</p>
<p>Green can be healthy</p>
<p>Plants not only contribute value to the property, but gardens also have great health benefits. The health benefits of gardening are impressive. According to medical experts, gardening is a great exercise for legs, shoulders, arms and neck. Gardening also helps to strengthen the joints in our body. Recent researches indicate that gardening lowers blood pressure, reduces cholesterol levels and also prevents diabetes and heart diseases. Gardening is also an ideal physical exercise for people who want to reduce their weight. Gardening helps to burn fat and as an added bonus, creates some healthy, organic fruits and vegetables for your entire family to eat.</p>
<p>Green in real estate</p>
<p>Based on a recent survey or property owners, it was noted that 95% of residential homeowners and 86% of commercial property owners believe that good landscaping adds more value to their properties. Also real estate brokers around Austin think that merely having a garden is enough to attract the buyers. Moreover, gardening has lots of benefits like offering a healthy body, fresh air, a fresh mind, fresh food, bringing birds, attracting butterflies, sustaining beneficial insects and added value to your property. Finally, gardening and makes your property look its best. So plant gardens around your home and grab the sure ticket to quick and valuable resale!</p>

<p>Buying home, condo or any other real estate in a market that is protected from a bursting bubble is every investor&#8217;s dream. Knowing where to look for these bubble-proof markets and how to identify them is crucial.</p>
<p>There are some important factors that investors should consider when searching for stable investments such as single-family homes, condos or any other type of real estate. Some of these factors include a fast growing popu<span id="more-891"></span>lation (which positively impacts the demand for housing), a solid and diverse economy (which impacts employment rates and subsequent demand for housing), rising incomes (which impacts buyers&#8217; ability to purchase real estate), a developing infrastructure (which contributes to the appeal of a city or community), and restrictions on future real estate development (which limits future supply of real estate). Investing in real estate within communities that meet these criteria may prove to be more profitable than communities that are missing one or more of these factors.</p>
<p>A recent report by <em>Business 2.0 Magazine</em> identified U.S. cities that have consistently demonstrated price appreciation in the real estate market. The October 2006 issue of the <em>Magazine</em> identified the top 5 real estate markets that demonstrated an upward price trend over a long period time. The top-ranking cities were:</p>
<p>1. San Francisco, California</p>
<p>2. Los Angeles, California</p>
<p>3. Seattle, Washington</p>
<p>4. Boston, Massachusetts</p>
<p>5. New York City, New York</p>
<p>San Francisco topped the list with an average annual home price appreciation of 4.2% from 1949 to 2006. In contrast, the national average was 2.3%. Strong restrictions on real estate development and a limited geography helped push San Francisco to the top slot.</p>
<p>Los Angeles ranked second in the report. The average annual home price appreciation in Los Angeles was 3.7% from 1949 to 2006.  Reductions in available land and increasing restrictions on further development helped pushed Los Angeles to the number 2 slot.</p>
<p>Home prices in Seattle, which was third on the list, demonstrated an average appreciation rate of 3.2% from 1949 to 2006. While Seattle made the top 5 list, recent easing of building restrictions may cause Seattle to fall out of the top 5 over the next few years.</p>
<p>Boston was fourth in the rankings. The city has seen annual home prices appreciate by 3% over the period from 1949 to 2006. A strong increase in per capita income contributed to Boston&#8217;s high ranking.</p>
<p>New York City follows close behind with an average annual home price appreciation of 3% from 1949 to 2006. A limited geography, large population, and finite number of properties contributed to New York&#8217;s high ranking.</p>
<p>While there is no guarantee that any of the real estate markets listed previously are truly &#8220;bubble proof,&#8221; the factors described above may help investors find the profitable markets and avoid &#8220;bubble&#8221; markets. Since the real estate market is constantly changing, be sure to seek out the services of a skillful real estate agent to help you navigate your next real estate purchase.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Everybody knows that real estate investments are the most secure and profitable way to invest your money. A steady income is assured and if not, you can sell the property and get all your money back. But what if this isn&#8217;t always the case?</p>
<p>First of all, if you have decided that you want to embark on the path of making money off real estate investments, then there are some things you should take under consideration. These things are meant to help you get a good deal on your property so you can maximize your profit.</p>
<p>The first thing that you should know is that buying properties at low prices will definitely increase your profits. Sure, you may say that this is not a secret and that this would be the first thing that you thought of when you planned your first investment.</p>
<p>No argument there, this is not something that is considered a secret of the trade. However, the big question is when can you obtain a low price for a real estate property? In this case, there are many tips that I can offer, each depending on several factors.</p>
<p>The best chance to get great deals on real estate investments is when the market is down. The slower the market is, the better the chances for a buyer to find something that can make him a hefty profit. From a competition point of view, this means that you are one of the very few potential buyers. The less the competition on the market, the better chances you have of getting a great deal.</p>
<p>Other factors that can get you a good deal if you want an income property investment are deaths, divorces and foreclosures. Even though this doesn&#8217;t sound very nice, it is true. The real estate market is ruthless, and you have to decide whether you want to be a predator or a prey.</p>
<p>Do your own homework as far as this aspect is concerned. If you keep up with the updates in newspapers and internet about this type of ads, this can guarantee you will be one of the first buyers that can close a great deal on an income property investment.</p>
<p>Foreclosures are some of the best things that can happen to you. They regularly occur when the owner is deceased so the property may be up for grabs. Be aware for this type of activities. An income property investment deal can be obtained easily because if the current owner doesn&#8217;t sell the property quickly, it may end up on the auction block, and this is not a good thing for him.</p>
<p>A little research is always needed when you want a profitable income property investment. You should know a thing or two about what kind of prices are practiced in the vicinity, therefore you will be able to negotiate a little over the price. Try to set up a budget and find several properties that fit into it. If one isn&#8217;t according to your plans, don&#8217;t be afraid to walk away.</p>
<p>The information about real estate investments can be found all over the place. Courses can be followed, guide books can be purchased or the internet can be a reliable solution. If you want some advices on properties, be sure to visit reinalliance.com.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The idea of pre-construction investments when it comes to real estate is actually quite a clever way in which many have made millions. The theory is simple really. Invest in a property before when it is in the planning stage. Those who will be building these buildings need money and investors in order to do get the building off the ground. By investing (in many cases basically purchasing options to purchase) in the units, typically condo units in high demand areas, before the ground is broken investors often have the option of investing for pennies on the expected dollar once the building is complete and can re-sell the property at full market value once the building is complete pocketing the difference in the original investment and the asking price.</p>
<p>This is a win-win situation for many builders or &#8216;owners&#8217; of the property in questions because &#8216;pre-selling&#8217; the units allows lending agents to have confidence in the viability of the project as a money earner by selling many of the units sight unseen. The benefit to investors is that they are able to purchase at a much lower price pre-construction than afterwards and can sell afterwards at the full market value (or above in some high demand and under saturated areas for real estate).</p>
<p>This style of investing is not nearly as glamorous to some as flipping houses. There are no beast to beauty renovations. There are, however, some things that should be kept in mind while making this type of transaction.</p>
<p>First of all, no real estate venture is ever guaranteed to turn a profit no matter what the glossy little brochures tell you. With the current trends in property sales, this is typically not the best environment for pre-construction investing though these things tend to change on a regular basis and that market could be looking up again in the very near future.</p>
<p>Second, networking is more often than not the best way to break into this particular business. There are all kinds of fly by night would be real estate investors. The ones that manage to last are those that network with other real estate agents as well as those who have specific interests and experience with pre-construction investments. Join local groups in addition to online groups that deal specifically with this sort of investment in order to get more information more quickly. The costs involved might appear daunting at first but they are far less than the costs of getting in over your head by not having a grasp of even the most basic &#8216;ins&#8217; and &#8216;outs&#8217; of pre-construction real estate investing.</p>
<p>Third, develop a close-knit relationship with a realtor that specializes in this particular type of real estate investing. This could prove to be the most beneficial thing you will ever do in order to insure future success. Be developing the right relationship with the right realtor you can get information on new properties before they make it to the public sector. This puts you in the rare and wonderful position of beating the competition to the punch. This gives you a much better shot at receiving the rock bottom prices that are often missed by waiting too long to make the purchase.</p>
<p>Fourth, be prepared to hold onto the property for a little while if you need to do so. The problem with pre-construction investing is that there are no guarantees that when the time comes you will have been able to &#8216;seal the deal&#8217;. Things come up even when you have a buyer that is willing and eager to make the purchase. In other words, there are times when you will need to hold onto the property for a short while and sometimes as a long-term investment. Some options in the case of long-term holds would include renting the property out to vacationers if it is in a high demand tourist area. You can use your realtor to help with that. This allows the property to be earning some income until the sale can be made. Others decided to hold onto the property as a personal vacation home for themselves, friends, and family. In the end, the important thing is that there is a &#8220;Plan B&#8221; for the property should the deal fall through and you are left paying the monthly note.</p>
<p>Pre-construction real estate investing may not have the &#8216;name in lights&#8217; appeal that other types of investing carry but it does provide a viable investment style that has the potential to bring in significant profits. The name of the game when it comes to investing is profits so keep this in mind when considering your investment options. This is one of the forms of investing that requires (in most cases) the least amount of capital up front.</p>
