Real Estate is on sale
What happened to the Real Estate market was inevitable. You see investors on wall street were basically looking for high interest returns on their invested money. They were able to obtain these high returns by buying mortgage backed securities from a variety of lenders. Since they were paying so well for these securities the lenders could not generate new loans fast enough to sell to the investors. In order to create more loans to wholesale they had to make it simple to be eligible for these loans. Therefore currently you have persons with poor credit purchasing houses with little or no money down. Throughout most of the nation the value of real estate was increasing so fast that there was never a problem with these individuals not making payments. If they were short on money they would merely refinance. Take out enough cash from their equity to buy some nice things and make payments for another six months. Well, this went on for about 3 years. Everyone was happy. The investors were getting a large return on their investments. The lenders were creation new loans charging points on new refinances. The clients were using their equity to purchase BMW’s, Rolex watches and seadoos. A win/win/win right? Wrong!!!
What takes place when you lend someone with poor credit 400k and they run out of equity? A mortgage calamity that’s what. The price of real estate began to decline and the actual value of property began to be realized. So now people that actually could not afford to make their payments could no longer refinance and obtain cash to pay the bank. So the bank forecloses. The dilemma was that it wasn’t just one family in difficulty. We’re talking about a huge number of residences and hundreds of billions of dollars. That’s a crisis.
Banks are in Big Trouble
So many people are in danger with their loans that the banking institutions cannot even keep up with all of the foreclosures right now. That’s how you can obtain real estate for pennies on the dollar. You seen financial institutions are not in the business of holding property. They are in the business of financing money. Every additional bit of property that a bank holds is that much less money that they have to lend out. This means a enormous opportunity for people that are motivated and desire to be rich. I’m guessing that means you. There are insane deals to be generated right now. Financial institutions are selling properties for pennies on the dollar.
