Helping the Homeowner in Pre Foreclosure and Protecting Yourself

You are ready to help a homeowner in pre foreclosure. You are investing in a property and doing the Short Sale..
The question I am asked quite often is do I put this property in my name since I am the investor?

You should not have any of the properties owned in your personal name. You should buy property in a Land Trust with a Beneficiary being you. The majority of law firms recommend an LLC entity, which stands for Limited Liability Company. LLCs are becoming more popular and it is easy to see why. They combine the personal liability protection of a corporation with the tax benefits and simplicity of a partnership.

The owners (or "members") of an LLC are not personally liable for its debts and liabilities, but also have the benefit of being taxed only once on their profits. Moreover, LLCs are flexible and require less ongoing paperwork. Attorneys believe that there is more protection in a Limited Liability company than having a piece of property in your personal name.

An attorney knowledgeable in LLC and real estate law can help you answer questions for your LLC.
You may think this is expensive, but you may only need an hour or two to get the answers that will provide you with confidence for the future.
It is also recommended that you seek the advice of a CPA in choosing the correct entity in order for you to own property.

Are you ready for a spectacular future in Short Sales?

Do You Have The Right Equipment For Your Business?

For a business to run successfully and smoothly the right equipment makes all the difference.

You Will Need The Following To Operate:

• Telephone
Home, Cell or Office Line
More and more business deals and appointments are made over the phone. Is your business phone friendly?.
Consider that when a person calls your business, this is their first impression, make it a good one!
When people call are they getting a computer voice or a real person?
Do they have to go through punching so many numbers that they just get frustrated and hang up?
Consider your Telephone your life line to your business.

• Fax
Faxes are used widely in the real estate business. Whether you have the standalone Fax machine or use the internet for faxing it is a useful tool.
One of the benefits of a fax machine is electronic signature on contracts that may not be recognized by law in some countries while faxed contracts with copies of signatures are. (check laws for your area)
We like efax.com to send faxes electronically. We receive them through email and use our printer.
It is not required to use an e-fax but recommended

• Computer
Like someone once said to me, how can someone take a business seriously if they do not have a website.
This is true, the world became closer since the age of the interent and the way we market our business and ourselves has changed.
The only way to get on the world wide web is with a computer.

• E-Mail Account
Today you need to pay attention to even the smallest details. The competitive market is even bigger, because of the Internet.
Yes, even your email address can be a reflection of your business.
You can get a free account online at various places such a yahoo, gmail, hotmail, etc even though these email accounts
were primarily set up for personal email accounts at the dawn of the Internet.
While these are used, they can come off as unprofessional. When you get a website, most companies that host the site
will give you free email accounts that can be used for your business.ie: yourname@yourbusiness.com
The next thing to the telephone is email. Check your box often.

• Printer
Can not do without this piece of equipment. We have a copy, printer and scanner in one.
Make it simple on your self. Ask what we are really looking for.
Is it just a basic printer for printing a few documents a week.
Is Color important?
Do we need a Scanner?
Make your list and head to the nearest office store to compare prices.

Once you have your equipment implemented, its time to get out there and make the phone wring, the printer print and show off your business!
Would you like to help homeowners in foreclosure? Do you know about Short Sales?
In the economy today, more and more homeowners need our help.
I can show you how to contribute and make money doing it.

Three Members You Should Have on Your Team

Real Estate Professionals
We have Realtors® that help us with our properties. They are our eyes and ears out in the field showing off our homes. What a wonderful asset they bring to my team. Realtors® research the MLS and they make a commission while helping you the investor, the home owner in distress and it is a win win situation for all when the deal is closed.
Consider the MLS. It is a very powerful tool to help sell your pre-foreclosure homes.
Listing your property allows your house(s) to be visible to other Licensed Real Estate Agents and their buyers
Also Realtors® have a buyers list that they match up to your homes, how great is that!

A Mortgage Broker

There are many Mortgage Brokers in your local Real Estate Community.
Staying current about the real estate market is what the best mortgage brokers do and usually use a different number of companies to arrange a mortgage giving you more choices.
Having the correct Mortgage Broker on your team will weed out unqualified buyers.
It is recommended that you form a relationship with several.

A Title Company
You want to find a Title Company that is willing to work for you when you need them. The Title Company helps you close your deal. The way to find a Title Company is by speaking with people in your real estate community. When working with your Title Company, you might find that you are teaching them about Land Trusts and the creative things you do with your business! Be grateful for all the services you get, and show your appreciation.


Coming Together is a Beginning, Keeping Together is Progress, Working Together is Success

Have a Fantastic Day,

How To Help the Sellers of Your Vacant Leads

You may find a lot of the Sellers you are trying to contact or Sellers that have contacted you probably no longer live in the Pre-Foreclosed property.
These distressed home owners are usually down to their last option, have already given up hope and just walked away from the home.
They are expecting the bank to take their home and their credit to be tarnished.

These people need to know they can still be helped by doing a Short Sale, which is one of the most effective ways for discounting loans in real estate.
It is definitely harder to track down the Sellers of these Vacant Properties, but you can try to find their contact information the following ways:

1. Go to the house and leave a Yellow letter in the door.

2. Go to the neighbors and find out where the Homeowner moved

3. Locate telephone numbers on the free telephone search websites

4. Contact a skip tracer to obtain the telephone number of the Homeowner and their new address, i.e. www.findtheseller.com

It is to your advantage to track down these Sellers because:

1. Most of the time the Homeowner does want to save their credit

2. Many investors do not track vacant homes giving you less competition

3. Selling vacant houses is easier because you are able to allow your new buyers instant access

Doing Short Sales can create huge investment opportunities and you are helping a homeowner in distress. How great is that?

Give Hunter Paschall a Shout Out for his 50th Birthday!‏

First-time home buyers benefits of the $8,000 tax credit

First-time buyers can use the benefits of the $8,000 tax credit with FHA first mortgage financing.
This is possible since lenders received the go-ahead from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to create bridge-loan products .

This is going to give the first time home buyer with good credit the ability to purchase a home with about 3.5% down, less closing costs
and basically not much or no out of pocket expenses. The seller can also give up to 6% prepaid buyers cost to close.
I will give up 6% for a minimum $20 thousand dollar check anytime.

Benefits of the tax credit:
Does not have to be repaid
Fully reimbursable in the form of a payment.

Lenders are expected to create bridge-loan products needed to implement this action.
The Tax Credit is set to expire December 1, 2009 and will leave a small window for lenders to create and organize the programs in a profitable manner.

SO this is the best time to take advantage of the short sale market. Not only are the banks trying to help out with Government
support but are only giving us a window to make it happen.
Jump on board and do short sales the right way so the seasoning issues won’t stop you dead in your tracks.
Learn how to do a land trust that works in every state.

Tribute to Michael Jackson Memorial

I among millions tuned in to watch Micheal Jackson's memorial on television yesterday. It was a death that not only shocked our county but the world. For over 40 years he had been there preforming and giving us his incredible abilities as a musician, dancer, composer and humanitarian. Michael Jackson changed the way we looked, felt and danced. How many people can say "I grew up watching him" He influenced my life", I know I can. I was his age watching him with his brothers on TV. Here was this incredible little kid belting out music like he had been here before. His talent was obvious, and he grew to stand alone as the King of Pop making music history.

In the past week, I learned more about Michael Jackson than in my lifetime, and appreciate him more. He endured the lack of childhood and privacy, the change of appearance, the scandals and the stress to remain a star who perfected every move and every note to be sure his fans smiled, laughed and felt good.
He broke through barriers of color, judgment and offered hope. It was not just through his performance's that he offered greatness. Michael was a true humanitarian taking time away from tours to visit sick children in hospitals all over the world, talking with African leaders about slowing the spread of AIDS there. In 2000 he was listed in the Guiness Book Of World Records where he broke the world record for the "Most Charities Supported By a Pop Star" supporting 39 charities.
He was paying attention to paying it forward.

When the casket was rolled into the Staples Center I felt the loss tremendously. He was more than a preforming genius, he was a father, son, brother, uncle and friend. He was welcomed by presidents, kings and queens. Memories of his songs, the famous glove, the first time we saw him do the Moon Walk and the man who dazzled us with "Thriller, flooded into my head. I grew up watching him grow up and even though I did not know him personally, I knew him, the world knew him. His vision of peace and love for one another was one of his greatest missions...

Staying Focused by Hunter Paschall

Well I learned a big lesson today. Keep your mind focused on what you are supposed to be focused on. When I was working for my dad in the automotive business, we were working in the shop and I had to polish shafts on these armatures (piece of a starter that goes in the big monster trucks). When doing this you would have to stay completely focused because you use a machine that spins around like a top at high speeds and if your mind wanders you could snap a finger or subject yourself to a multiple of different types of injuries. One day I was thinking about something else while I was polishing one of these 5 pound metal armatures and it flew out of the machine and struck me right between the eyes.

I don’t know if that was a lesson or what it was but it was something that definitely told me “Hunter you are not staying focused on what you are doing”. The point I am trying to make is that if you do not stay focused on the task at hand it may jump out and hit you right square in the face. So always be conscious of what you are doing and keep yourself focused on the task at hand and completing it before moving on to another task. Learn what you need to learn, get all the information you need to get and finish that task. Don’t let yourself get smacked in the head because you can’t stay focused on your current task.

Even though I learned to stay focused many years ago by getting hit in the face, I had to learn it all over again today. As I was driving away from my house today, I drove through a field so I could take a look at one of my boats. I wanted to check and make sure it was okay. Instead of focusing on where I was currently at, I was focused on where I was going and looking at my boat. Unfortunately, the field I was driving through had a few palm trees scattered around and one of them helped me come to a sudden abrupt stop. I wrecked my brand new 2010 Toyota Tundra head on right into a 40 foot palm tree because I was not looking where I was at the moment. Instead I was looking at my boat. So even now it seems that I need to be reminded of the task at hand. Something as simple as driving my vehicle. I would have seen the boat once I reached my destination but I became impatient and started looking at it when I should have been focused on my driving.

You know, I have learned in the real estate business, if I don’t stay focused on the task at hand everything around me will start to fall apart. Meaning, that when I am working on a short sale I have to stay focused on the seller which is the number one most important part of this whole process. I need to keep a rapport with them. The second thing that I need to stay focused on is the bank. I have to know what the bank needs and when they need it so that the short sale process runs smoothly. I have to make sure that when they call that I return calls in a timely manner and that goes for when they e-mail me as well. The third thing is the buyer. Making sure the buyer is getting qualified by the lender and making sure they can get a loan so they do not tie up my property.

If I do not stay focused on those 3 simple things when processing a short sale, I may run right straight into a tree that brings me to a sudden stop like I did this morning!

Please remember to stay focused on the current task at hand. It is okay to have the end result in mind but you need to stay focused on the process of getting there. If you don’t then you might not reach the end because instead you might be sitting dead in your tracks with a 40 foot tree in front of you.

The good news is that everything can be fixed. However, I like to keep things simple and do it right the first time. I learned the hard way to “keep it simple, stupid!!” and it looks like I am still learning it today. My truck can get fixed but the bad news is now it is taking away from other things I need to be focused on. Going through the insurance company and working with the body shop to get the truck fixed will take time and energy away from other things. I can delegate it and have other people do it but the fact remains if I would have been focused on my driving this would have never happened and all the time energy that will be spent on fixing the truck could have gone toward something more positive and lucrative.

Bottom Line is that by not being focused I have caused something to be in my life that I don’t need nor want. So learn from me and Stay Focused!!!

Have an awesome day!!
