Home Equity Line of Credits Frozen By Morgan Stanley
So, what happens when you own a property that has $50,000 in equity and your lender won’t let you tap into that equity with a home equity line of credit?
Well… that’s the question that a bunch of property owners are asking themselves right now because Morgan Stanley just announced this move to thousands of [...]
Postlets - Mass Classified Ad Posting Service For Real Estate Investors
Okay, I may be a bit late in the game here… but I just found out about Postlets .
I know… I know… it’s been around for a while and a ton of other websites have talked about them.
But…
I guess I was just too darn busy and never came across it until a couple days ago [...]
Commercial Income Properties Are Still Rockin! Mini-Storage Anyone??
I got to thinking yesterday while I was on the local golf course here in Lake Oswego (I volunteer at the course on Sundays… so free golf for me for the summer!!) about the real estate market and all of the idiots spouting off doom and gloom.
Okay, yes…
The RESIDENTIAL market as a WHOLE has been [...]
HousingMaps.com - A Cool Way to Find Properties On Craigslist…
Every now and then I come across a site that I haven’t seen that I really like a ton. I’d say probably 7 out of 10 new real estate related sites I see (especially property listing and property value sites)… are kinda crappy and ones that I won’t visit again.
But… I found a cool [...]
I won a trip to Orlando… and how this applies to YOUR real estate success…
I had to take a couple minutes out of my crazy day to tell you a bit of good news (for me anyway!).On Tuesday I found out that I won a paid trip to Orlando to a week long business building event put on by Rich Schefren.
If you haven’t heard of Rich, he’s one of [...]
Part of Life Success… and why we invest in real estate
Every now and then we really have an epiphany and realize what’s important to us in life. I actually have these all of the time… and just want to ask something from my readers this week.
Yes, tomorrow is Valentines Day… but holidays shouldn’t be the only times we take to let our friends and [...]
Wine 101 - A break from work… and bit of fun…
Hey all!
It’s a beautiful gray sky Sunday here in Portland… what’s new. (no, that’s not me in that picture over here >>. You’ll learn who it is in a bit)
Anyhow, I wanted to write a quick little post that is anything but on real estate investing. In fact, this is so far away from [...]
Roboform - Helping you be more efficient online…
How about that Superbowl? Great game huh?
I really could have gone either way… I don’t particularly love either team… and it would have been cool seeing either team win. On one hand the Patriots had the chance to go 19-0 which is amazing.
On the other hand it was kinda cool to see the [...]
Top 4 Ways the Fed Rate Cut Helps Real Estate Investors
A ton of people are saying that the recent .75% Fed rate cut doesn’t help out real estate investors a whole lot… I beg to differ.
For those real estate investors who learn how to adapt and find opportunities… instead of complain and find reasons why they aren’t successful… this rate cut can be a great [...]
Feds Cut Rate - Finally Bernanke tries to stay ahead of the curve…
Hey all…
Quick little post I thought anyone in the real estate industry should know.
This morning the Feds Cut the Rate (interest rate that is) .75% in an attempt to rescue the hurting economy.
Here’s my question…
Why is Bernanke always behind the curve??
He waits too long to raise interest rates (which partially drove the financing hysteria in 2002-2005)…
What [...]
