Did YOU see this Letter to the Editor?? Letter to the Editor, Tampa Tribune: I understand why your reporter focused on my colorful hair and YouTube marketing videos in her story about Short Sales Riches, our business model for helping homeowners close "short sales" and avoid foreclosure judgments. But by emphasizing the critics, she missed the context for why our business is having such success. This is an unprecedented time in the housing market. More than half the homes for sale are distressed properties, including short sales, where banks agree to accept less than what is owed in return for the homeowner's help in selling the house. But ask any Realtor and you'll hear the problem: short sales have become "long sales" because the banks - and there are generally two involved - take for...

Do YOU Never Say No? One of the first lessons to learn about negotiating the biggest profits when working with short sales is to never say no. While most of life's important lessons tend to revolve around saying no in one form or another, the central premise to reaching an agreeable negotiation is to simply never say no. As long as both parties are still talking, there is enough room to reach an agreement.  Learn how to never say no even in the toughest situations by implementing a few of these great tactics for your next short sale deal: Nurse the negotiations rather than simply saying no. Instead, find out what needs to be paid, when and how much? Are they willing to accept anything in trade? Is there another way to finance it such as holding a note or seeking out a partner? Learn eve...

Signs of the Times - How Short Sale Investors Can Spot the True Turn-Around At the first sign of slowing declines and a few stocks going up in value, the media is eager to report that the worst is over. Before you run out and begin buying up stocks or bonds it might be a good idea to review the signs of a real bottom. Expect a true turn-around to take place after the following events have been established: Debt Liquidation. While the big bank bail-outs and automobile manufacturers might seem to have drained the Federal Reserve, remember what we spoke about earlier this week...the giant derivative mess is still waiting in the sidelines with numbers that literally dwarf everything else to date. Wait until the true debt liquidation takes place before getting overly excited by the early sig...

Subject: Getting a Loan ModificationThousands of homeowners are turning to loan modification as a way to overcome mortgage difficulties brought on by the troubled housing market. It's a great option and if you think you may be in trouble, it's something you should strongly consider. Getting a loan modification, though, is no easy task.Use a loss mitigation company to negotiate on your behalf.While it is possible to negotiate directly with your lender, it is generally not recommended.There are many pitfalls that can cause your modification attempts to go awry.
