Navigating a Down Market and Profiting From It

When people see a down market, they tend to think that it is one gigantic money field. They think that they can invest in any home, and be able to profit from it. While this is true in some cases, this is generally not how the entire market works out. When dealing with a down market, you must be able to pick and choose what to invest in. A down market is a game; choose the right homes, and you can be incredibly successful. Choose the wrong house and you can be stuck with an investment that will cost you price or worse. more...

Take John for example. Because he knows his own neighborhood and the property values much better than areas farther away from his home, he decided to get started with a property just a stone's throw from his front door step.

The good news is that it's a very attractive property - and he can point it out to his friends as tangible evidence that real estate investing is a great idea. The truth is, he paid retail for the property, but he rationalizes it in his mind because of its proximity to his house. It is after all one of the best-looking places on the block. more...

Private Mortgages

In a time where bank credit has dried up and where people have reason to fear about the values of their mutual funds, would it not be logical for private investors to start writing mortgages?

I.e. instead of getting a few measly percents return or no return at tall, why not finance someone's house i.e. at 70 LTV and get 7-12 percent return? Of course you would have to do due diligence on the value of the home and credit worthiness of the buyer.
