Interestingly enough and more often than not the Realtor’s are getting in the way of too many home owners that are upside down in this real estate market. They have found most of the NOD’s that have the lenders { mortgage servicer’s } all up in arms over their ever growing long list of non performing assets. While very few investors have the magic pill that can fix most of these peoples problems, some do know how to execute short sale potential properties, and save the home owners themselves 7 years of misery, as well as, getting the banks closer to doing what they do best, ” lending money “.
One major snafu that’s not working is the way the Realtor goes about this tricky process, causing lengthy negotiations and or no buyers during the home owners time of need. The caveat here lies in understanding exactly what it is that the banks are truly looking for, and securing a huge opportunity for several entities.
When it does go smoothly and a fix and flip might be the exit strategy, a full blown kitchen remodel will take place, Home Depot can employ more help, and the real estate investor has upgraded a home that will create jobs in the consrtuction industry enabling the home to appraise higher and the state can collect more revenue to repair the roads…… etc. etc.
In a short sale transaction, the lender has to verify the negotiated price before the completion of any contract signing. Perhaps there is a lot of red tape to push through, but this one will make or break any offer you have submitted to the mortgage granter. So many of the lenders BPO agents are super swamped with daily lists of defaulted homes to review, that likely they are more than convinced a ” drive by” appraisal will suffice. 
Stay cool and play your hand right, because the ability to influence the BPO will behoove all parties involved. The owners need help out of a dire time, and you may have that trump card, that can enable a justifiable reduction in value to solve this economic environments foreseeable future. Learn more today.
Extensive water damage from an upstairs bathroom could just be the ace in the hole, and with a “drive by” agent never understanding the true circumstances that have justified your offer.
Although the U.S. housing market witnessed its smallest annual increase in foreclosure activity in four years last month, distressed-property tallies are expected to remain in an elevated range for some time. Foreclosure filings were reported on more than 308,000 American homes in February, RealtyTrac said Thursday. That’s a 2 percent decline from January but a 6 percent increase from a year earlier. All told, February represents the 12th consecutive month with more than 300,000 foreclosure filings. Yada,Yada,yada!

Having been in this vocation for an awful long time, working mainly on high end real estate, estates on the southern coast of California, where quality and service is mandatory, the market is always changing. In this cyclical environment, the home improvement industries have to reinvent themselves to catch a lucky break. But some companies will survive without needin any such luck, by offering the best in there fields.
Stucco means little to most of us, but the artisans that use and perform exterior plastering on perhaps just about any type of dwelling, know the difference between La Habra products or Mission stucco produce many colors, lines and textures.

With there 30/60 ratio, the higher the numbers the finer the sand for a super smooth easy application over your walls brown coat. An 1/8″ covering of any color you can dream of. Cal Dorado is one product stucco line that we here champion for, the new rich in the world of quality built real estate homes.
Whatever may be in disrepair around your home will eventually need quite a bit more attention as time elapses. Does your rain gutter hold water from 2 weeks ago when it last rained? As much as we would love to ignore this fact, what you may not realize that the nearest seam is breaking down and starting to leak, could be a small drip straight to the front porch or it might just be working its way through the fascia board and rotting away at the roof’s eave or a few rafter tails. Hence causing more dry rot and or concrete water damage than the earlier quick minor repair, sealing the rain gutter.
Procrastination isn’t the name of the game if we really ever want to get anywhere folks, a buck ahead for that proverbial rainy day and or as Napoleon Hill once wrote “money conscious or poverty conscious” which way is your mind taking you? Another marketing genius and extremely successful self made entrepreneur, is Jeffrey Combs and his whole mantra is about already being instead of waiting to be, it all begins at that perception of ” somethings else that needs to be done as a home improvement project” when it should be thought of as ” protecting the biggest investment in your portfolio”. See you at the new rich extravaganza !!
Every now and then again we will find ourselves fixed on an idea, thought or premonition. And with the constant bombardment of commercialism, media news and advertising surrounding our lives how can this not be? When Andrew Carnegie figured a way to fabricate mountain ores into a battleship, this perhaps did not happen overnight, rather starting as an idea and slowly manifesting into something tangible. The power of your brains or thoughts as well as opposing thumbs can be the sole difference from man to animal.
Many a day and night we have all struggled to grasp and hold onto a simple life changing decision such as maybe “how am i going to stop that leak?” well we here are living flesh that, given all the elements of any equation, the human mind still has to concentrate to a point to enable a solution, think-think-think using your mind is the greatest gift that any one God will have ever granted. An education is imperative, no doubt, but having a masters degree in any field, still requires a plow…..
While on a recent trip to the northwest doing some research, during a walk through inspection in a 2 story home the kitchen ceiling showed visible drywall water damage. And directly above the ceiling was the upstairs bathroom. They had cut an inspection hole for access and discovered a frozen copper water line that was very near an exterior wall, ironically there was no visible signs of insulation in the exterior wall that was causing the extreme cold temps to permeate the pipes and freezing a section here. 
Using a wrench and tapping on the lines it was evident where it became solid and damaging the connections, we had cut this small portion out and removed it and simply added 2 SharkBite fittings for the repair in all of 10 minutes. SharkBite slip locking connector fittings have saved us tons of expense and time with labor costs and their ever present availability.
In this particular short sale acquisition of real property, we did not exert much effort in influencing the lenders BPO agent for it became very clear there were enough visual damages to validate a discounted CMA. Having these tools and knowing how to facilitate them has changed our financial futures forever.
Building with wood ? Wood construction is here to stay folks and here is only a few of the major reasons why ! Thinking about adding on ? Well you’ll be going greener if you use lumber…… read more below !!
# No other material can match wood’s unique combination of benefits, including strength, affordability, ease of use and environmental superiority.
# Wood-frame construction has a 100-year track record for safety and dependability. That’s why nine out of 10 homes today are built with wood.
# Building codes require all materials to provide the same degree of protection, even for extreme events such as earthquakes and hurricanes. Wood-frame construction is as safe, sturdy and dependable a building material as any other.
# Wood is the best insulator against heat and cold, which makes it the most energy-efficient material that can help keep home energy bills in check. Unlike steel and concrete, wood doesn’t conduct heat and cold. Wood is 400 times less heat conductive than steel, so homes built with wood studs take less energy to heat and cool.
# Wood is the most affordable building material. The economy of wood construction is one of the many reasons why wood-frame construction has remained the preferred method for residential construction.
# Wood is easy to use and widely available. Its practicality and workability make construction simple and efficient for use in residential or commercial applications, including multi-story projects.
# As the world’s only renewable building material, wood can not only be recycled, but regenerated as well. What’s more, trees provide benefits to the environment while they grow, taking in carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen.
# Wood contributes fewer greenhouse gas emissions than its non-renewable counterparts, steel and concrete. While wood accounts for 46% of all industrial raw materials worldwide, it uses a mere 4% of the energy required to produce raw materials into useful products.
Average homeowners throughout this world can now relax and need not to fret any longer about their rain gutters. With the expansive widths of the average fronts of our homes, my experience here lies in the fact that rain gutters cannot perform as designed. ![no push causing malice [mosquitos/ dryrot / water damage]](http://www.my-diy-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/thumbnail-23.jpg "no push causing malice [mosquitos/ dryrot / water damage]")
Water has to have a 1/4″ per foot slope to jettison the moisture to the down spout at the end, and not a sole likes to see a highly noticeable crooked rain gutter attached to the front of their homes. It appears wrong and anti symmetrical, common fascia board widths consist of 4″ to 12″ heights while, after installation causing a loss in fascia profiles when buried by drip edge flashing and shingle overhangs accentuating this dilemma.
I’m launching an all new and improved rain gutter marketing campaign that will easily and virtually correct and eliminate all of these aforementioned appearance and functionality problems. Take this opportunity now and tell me your stories of and why this may inexpensively be of service.
Napoleon Hill, Charles Hannel, Henry Ford, Tim Ferriss etc., all these great men that have changed many lives and authored books on self development, championed the fine art of mastermind groups to create change for all as well as a way to wealth through the laws of nature. “success requires no explanations, failure permits no alibis”

The real estate crisis has gutted house prices, tipped millions into foreclosure, and rattled the global economy to its core. But for many would-be home buyers, the historic boom and bust have been a blessing in disguise. During the first half of the previous decade, easy credit and speculative excitement worked to make houses increasingly expensive. By the fourth quarter of 2005, median home prices had reached 2.77 times median household incomes. That is sharply higher than the 1.92 average of the 15 years ending in 2003 and too expensive for many families. But the subsequent crash in home prices–values have fallen roughly 30 percent at the national level from their 2006 peaks–has helped restore affordability to this once inflated market. By the third quarter of 2009, the price-to-income ratio–a key measure of housing affordability–had fallen below its 15-year average, to 1.84 for the nation as a whole.
