			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Another in our &#8220;Notes and the Law&#8221; series&#8230; Leave us a comment below!</strong></p>
<p>Hi, Attorney Susie here again. One of my favorite professors in law school was A-OK with his students using the excuse “my dog ate my homework” to turn in a late assignment.  However, in order to use the excuse, you had to produce the evidence proving your dog ate your homework. Not surprisingly, all of us opted to turn our assignments in on time rather than follow our dogs around after their “meal.”</p>
<p>It seems that during foreclosure proceedings these days judges are following my professor’s sage advice and requiring a foreclosing note holder (that’s you) to actually produce the ORIGINAL note to foreclose upon a property.  </p>
<p>This isn’t standard practice in every foreclosure proceeding; it’s usually only raised when a borrower brings forth a defense asserting that the note holder doesn’t actually own the note.<br />
OK, so what if a borrower DOES raise this defense and I don’t have the original note?  </p>
<p>That’s where things could get a little hairy. </p>
<p>In most states, if you have filed a Lost Note Affidavit (LNA) along with a certified true copy of the note you MIGHT be out of the woods. Having a LNA and a certified true copy of the note will not guarantee a rubberstamp by a judge.  Judges are now looking carefully at the LNAs to determine that authorized parties have executed the LNA and that it has been properly notarized.<br />
A few examples: an unnamed bank submitted a LNA to a court and it was discovered that the LNA was executed in a different state than where it was notarized. Result: Foreclosure proceedings dismissed.</p>
<p>Here’s another one: a savvy judge figured out that another unnamed bank submitted a LNA executed by an individual with no authority to bind the bank.  Result: Foreclosure proceedings dismissed.<br />
Lesson to be learned: Devil is in the details&#8211;Make certain that your LNA is watertight! </p>
<p>Now you ask, what if I don’t have a copy of the note, can I just file a LNA?<br />
Well, theoretically (we lawyers love theory) you can, but you would have to attach other documents to the LNA to prove that the note once existed. For example, you could provide a loan payment history, closing documents, and/or a sworn statement of the notary or escrow officer.  Filing a LNA without a copy of the note is a HUGE gamble; every judge is different and it’s hard to determine how each judge will determine what evidence is needed to prove that you are the rightful owner of a note.   </p>
<p>Most likely, if a borrower raises the defense that you are not the holder of the note and you don’t have a true and certified copy of the note, foreclosure is going to be a long, costly road.   </p>
<p>You’ve read all this and now you’re asking yourself: I’m foreclosing on properties in non-judicial foreclosure states, why should I care? </p>
<p>The reality is that borrowers can raise this issue in judicial OR non-judicial foreclosure states.  The principles are the same, but the procedures will be different.  </p>
<p>To sum it up, don’t let the dog (or in this case, the bank) eat your note! When purchasing a note, make sure the seller can provide you with an ORIGINAL note – or at worst, a certified true and exact copy of the note, along with an LNA that is executed properly.  If they can’t, DON’T BUY THE NOTE.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>Trends at the Top: The Insider&#8217;s View</h1>
<p>I wanted to share with you some insight from an Insider  who&#8217;s a loan sale advisor. One of the &#8220;quiet types&#8221; who&#8217;s happy to work inside  larger trades. Here&#8217;s a summary of what he&#8217;s seeing in the market at the upper  levels. Trickle-down being what it is, I wanted to let you know what&#8217;s happening  at the top &#8230; </p>
<ul>
<li>there are a smaller number of what he calls &#8220;public    market&#8221; packages &#8211; open to bidding and publicly announced through loan sale advisors</li>
<li>&#8220;private market packages&#8221; are selling aggressively, and in greater numbers</li>
<li>prices on these private packages are coming down slightly from the beginning of the year &#8211; non-performing loans (90+ del) are trading in the mid 40s; sub-performing loans are trading in the low-to-mid 40s &#8220;although lower doc types in this category settle lower&#8221; (e.g. no doc, low-doc loans trade at a lower price); and pre-REO&#8217;s (e.g. late-stage foreclosure) are trading in the high 40s &#8211; they&#8217;re pricing higher because it takes less time to get access to the underlying collateral</li>
<li>The fact that sub-performing is trading at a higher discount to value than non-performing    indicates that the news about re-defaults is keeping expectations down on whether sub-performers can get current (see: <a href="http://www.bos.frb.org/economic/ppdp/2009/ppdp0904.pdf" target="_blank">this revealing study</a> &#8211; 30-45% redefault, though some reports claim the redefault rate is as high as 58% within a year)</li>
<li>More sellers are selling loans and justifying them as a “forward REO sale”. And they&#8217;re engaging in smaller sales because &#8221;the only way to get an idea of price on a large portfolio of loans, is to sell a small pool of loans&#8221;. Further, the insider points out that another reason for steady sales volume is due to &#8220;management periodically having to prove that &#8217;some&#8217; liquidity exists.&#8221;</li>
</ul>
<h1>The ARM&#8217;s are coming &#8211; the ARM&#8217;s are  coming!</h1>
<p>One other trend that&#8217;s growing is that &#8220;strategic default&#8221; &#8211; when a borrower walks away  from a home with a perfect credit score &#8211; e.g. you see the following on their  payhistory: 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 &#8230;. where they go from  current and then drop off a cliff &#8211; is affecting prices. Our Insider notes that loans with one or two 30-day lates are now pricing in the 90+ delinquent range &#8211;  showing &#8220;at a minimum &#8230; a lack of confidence in short-term home  price appreciation (or stability). At worst, it indicates a growing realization  that there are no viable modification strategies in the market place.&#8221;</p>
<h1>2nds are trading  actively</h1>
<p>Finally, it looks like sellers are picking up the pace  on selling pools of 2nds. A colleague of mine closed on a $675M package,  and performing appears to be trading in the 7-16 cent range (depending on CLTV)  and non-performing is still sub 1% of loan balance.</p>
<p>Any sign of buyers raising price expectation? Not  according to the Insider: &#8220;The reality is that with continued rising  unemployment, and declining home prices; there’s no reason to change a buyer&#8217;s  draconian loan pricing model.  Further, with 88% of all the loans in  America “current”, there’s no real rationale for a Bank seller to hit a low-ball  bid either… </p>
<p>The Gap continues….</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1 style="padding-left: 60px;">Bank Failures and Note Buying 101</h1>
<p>A bank failure is not the same each time around. And they all represent different opportunities for a well-tuned note buyer.</p>
<p>Here are the four key things to look for in bank failure announcements:</p>
<p>1)   Did the failed bank get taken over? There are 3 types of bank failures:</p>
<li style="padding-left: 60px;">Payoffs (PO’s) wherein the FDIC actually creates a new bank to take over the bank’s deposits</li>
<li style="padding-left: 60px;">Insured Deposit Transfers (IDT’s) where one bank assumes the failed bank’s liabilities (checking and savings accounts), but not its loans</li>
<li style="padding-left: 60px;">Purchase-and-Assumption agreements (PA’s, in FDIC parlance), in which one bank buys the assets (loans) and liabilities (deposits) of another bank</li>
<p>Note: The 3rd category above is by far the most common. Through September 1, 2009, there have been 77 Purchase Assumptions; 1 Insured Deposit Transfer, and 6 Payoffs, for a total of 84 bank failures in 2009.</p>
<p>2)  Who took over the failed bank? If a bank fails and another bank takes over its assets (which includes a bank’s loans), then pursue the acquiring bank to find out how they’ll be selling the failed bank’s loans. It’s not a matter of IF, but WHEN.</p>
<p>3)  Finally, how exactly did they take over the failed bank? Was there a Loss Share agreement in place or not? A Loss Share, simply enough, indicates that the FDIC and the acquiring bank are sharing the losses on the loan portfolio. These are probably the best places to start in terms of pursuing note sales, since these banks will often be looking to sell off the acquired bank’s loans.</p>
<p>4)  What’s the contact information of the acquiring bank? This seems pretty straightforward, but it’s worth checking the FDIC website rather than just Googling the acquiring bank. Here’s why: the FDIC often appoints a point of contact within itself for REO vs Note sales. Go to the FDIC website, then select “Failed Banks”, then “Failed Financial Institution Contact List”, then type in the date range you’re looking for and then search.</p>

you buy a note. And even if you don&#8217;t get everything<br />
that you&#8217;d expect to see from the bank, I&#8217;ll share a<br />
story with you about the missing Florida note we<br />
bought and what happened with that deal.</p>
<p><strong>Why does this matter to you when you are <a href="http://www.notebuyingprofits.com">buying Real Estate Notes</a>?</strong></p>
<p>Because the better prepared you are for what to<br />
expect when you buy a note, the better a negotiator<br />
you&#8217;ll be when you&#8217;re first talking to the bank. And<br />
the better you are at negotiating, the more<br />
professional you&#8217;ll come across, and the better deal<br />
you&#8217;ll get.</p>
<p>Each and every time.</p>
<p>So go out there and hit 2009 running &#8211; and take a<br />
look at the video below to see what I expect you&#8217;ll be<br />
doing a lot of this coming year.</p>
<p>To your <a href="http://www.notebuyingprofits.com">note buying</a> success in 2009!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On <a href="http://notebuyingprofits.com/blog/376/buying-discounted-real-estate-notes-student-success-story-replay/"><strong>buying discounted Real Estate Notes</strong></a> (aka Buying Notes aka Buying Defaulted Mortgages&#8230;):</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s something valuable &amp; inspiring for you.</p>
<p>As much as I can tell you about my own note buying successes&#8230;<br />
I believe it is actually a lot more powerful and &#8216;real&#8217;<br />
for you when I share other NoteBuyingProfits Students&#8217; success<br />
stories with you.</p>
<p>Folks like you, who took the exact <a href="http://www.notebuyingprofits.com/note-buying-defaulted-mortgages-course-preorder.html">buying-discounted-real-estate-notes<br />
roadmap</a> I laid out, studied it, and then went on to take MASSIVE<br />
ACTION and implemented this newly-found knowledge.</p>
<p><strong>So, here is the first Note Buying case study of a new<br />
series we are starting:</strong></p>
<p>* The &#8216;NBP Student Success Story Series&#8217; *</p>
<p>This first one is with Rick from North Georgia.<br />
His REI club buddies were laughing when he started getting<br />
into note buying &#8211; listen in to find out who&#8217;s laughing now&#8230;</p>
<p>* <a href="http://notebuyingprofits.com.s3.amazonaws.com/successstories/121008nbpRickBConfCall90min.mp3" target="_blank">MP3 Audio recording</a></p>
<p>* <a href="http://notebuyingprofits.com.s3.amazonaws.com/successstories/121008NBPricksuccessstory.pdf" target="_blank">PDF doc with the transcription</a>, if you prefer<br />
reading</p>
<p>Right-click &amp; &#8217;save as&#8217; both links to your computer &amp;<br />
listen/read it at your convenience.</p>
<p>Some notes on the content:</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;d like to order a $297/month check for my $2,000<br />
investment, please!&#8221;</p>
<p>It may sound like small money, but what happens when<br />
you do a lot of small deals?</p>
<p>They begin to add up.<br />
(Especially if you don&#8217;t have to waste any time on finding<br />
deals anymore, because you created one single RELATIONSHIP<br />
that keeps feeding you disounted real estate notes!)</p>
<p>And when you hear about the returns that Rick&#8217;s<br />
getting on his first note deal, and what he&#8217;s just done on<br />
his 2nd deal, you&#8217;ll see what it means to be able to<br />
buy &#8211; and succeed in &#8211; non-performing notes.<br />
&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<br />

<p>* the secret to understanding the banker</p>
<p>* how to get 4 bankers to send you leads on loans<br />
they want to sell, on the night before Thanksgiving<br />
(this is happening NOW &#8211; I just received two more<br />
pools today from banks wanting to close by end of month)</p>
<p>* how to buy a $19,000 mortgage for $2,000</p>
<p>* how to convince a borrower to pay you $297/month<br />
for an investment of $2,000, FOR THE NEXT 9 YEARS</p>
<p>All from someone who, like YOU, is getting his feet<br />
wet in buying discounted real estate notes.</p>
<p>Oh, and I forgot to tell you &#8211; Rick is the perfect example<br />
of how to make m.oney with very very little money.</p>
<p>His story is the classic<br />
&#8220;I succeeded with $2 in my pocket&#8221; type of story.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s all here &#8230;.</p>

cash flows during this holiday season, and to take<br />
steps to take control over your career, we&#8217;d like to<br />
help you get there.</p>

<p>$2,000 for a $297 per month cash flow.</p>
<p>[Who said you can only buy POOLS of notes?<br />
Who said you need a lot of m.oney to do this?]</p>
<p>Now that&#8217;s what I like to hear.</p>
<p>This is what Rick, a www.NoteBuyingProfits.com Student,<br />
is receiving on the very first non performing<br />
note he recently purchased.</p>
<p>Here are more of the details: Rick bought a 2nd<br />
mortgage of $20,000 (so he paid 10 cents on the<br />
dollar), behind a 1st worth $65,000, on a house that<br />
he estimates is worth $130,000. So he&#8217;s at<br />
approximately a 50% CLTV ($65,000 1st plus $2,000 he<br />
paid for the 2nd, divided by the value of $130,000).</p>
<p>From Rick&#8217;s perspective, this is an amazing return on<br />
his <a href="http://www.notebuyingprofits.com">nonperforming note</a> investment.</p>
<p>From the borrower&#8217;s perspective, Rick is a &#8230; well<br />
actually Rick&#8217;s a saint from heaven.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the way Rick explains it: &#8220;The borrower was<br />
actually getting foreclosed on [he had lost his job<br />
and then found employment again, but fell behind]. So<br />
he&#8217;s about $2,000 in arrears plus he was paying an<br />
extra $50 a month due to a bankruptcy a couple of<br />
years ago. &#8221; Arrears mean how much he would owe to<br />
bring the loan current.</p>
<p>So his borrower was behind on his mortgage, owing<br />
over $2,000 on a $20,000 note. And he was also paying<br />
$50 more than the original note payment due to a<br />
bankruptcy filing that added an extra $50 each month.<br />
So what did Rick do with this &#8220;deadbeat&#8221; of a borrower?</p>
<p>He cut him some slack.</p>
<p>&#8221; I said to the borrower, &#8220;Listen, I&#8217;m going to eat<br />
the arrearage, I&#8217;m going to eat the extra $50 a month,<br />
and you just pay me $297 a month and we&#8217;re going to go<br />
back to the original note and I&#8217;m not going to<br />
foreclose on you. &#8220;</p>
<p>The result?</p>
<p>The borrower made the first payment and Rick expects<br />
to have little trouble with his remaining payments.</p>
<p>But how did Rick get there?</p>
<p>How did he get started in <a href="http://www.notebuyingprofits.com/how-to-find-notes.html">how to find notes</a>?</p>
<p>Was it tough? Did it take a lot of time? Did he know<br />
what he was doing? Are there more of these that Rick<br />
can do?</p>
<p>===&gt; Listen in this Wednesday, December 10, 2008 at<br />
6pm PT/9pm ET.<br />
Dial: 419-400-0202<br />
Access Code: 468636#</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve invited Rick to share his experience<br />
with you so that you can hear how a fellow student<br />
went from the brink of bankruptcy (it&#8217;s true, Rick<br />
almost filed bankruptcy himself), to receiving notes<br />
unsolicited from 4 different people at a bank, and a<br />
million dollar investment from a fellow investor. All<br />
within a few short months.</p>
<p>And where does Rick go from here with his <a href="http://www.notebuyingprofits.com">buying notes</a> business?</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m really trying<br />
to just get one or two a month now. My plan as I build<br />
up is to just get one every other month and then build<br />
up to one a month, one or two a month, like next year,<br />
and start getting into larger pools.&#8221;</p>
<p>Step by step, Rick is building his note buying<br />
business. And he&#8217;s starting with nothing.</p>
<p>Join us for this f.ree Teleconference this Wednesday.</p>
<p>We have room for 100<br />
on the call, so be sure to be on it.</p>
<p>Again, it&#8217;s this Wednesday, 6pm PST/9pm EST.<br />
Dial: 773-945-1010<br />
Panelist Access Code: 260-435-355</p>
<p>You will learn about/from a Student who took * MASSIVE ACTION *<br />
on the course materials of the A-Z <a href="http://www.notebuyingprofits.com/preorder" target="_blank">Note Buying Course</a>.</p>
<p>Plus you can ask ANY questions of yours.</p>
<p>Be your success.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On <a href="http://notebuyingprofits.com/blog/315/how-to-find-notes-do-you-speak-a-my-language/"><strong>How to Find Notes</strong></a>:</p>
<p>Do you remember that 1981 hit from Men at Work called<br />
&#8220;Land Down Under?&#8221; (OK, so I was a big Men-at-Work<br />
fan, I admit.)</p>
<p>Well, what made me think about it was this email that<br />
I just received from a Korean by the name of &#8220;Joe&#8221;<br />
(that&#8217;s what he goes by, I kid you not).</p>
<p>How is this related to buying Notes? Because Joe told<br />
me a little story today that demonstrates one of the<br />
most important lessons in the world of &#8216;<strong><a href="http://www.notebuyingprofits.com">how to find notes</a></strong>&#8216;:<br />
<strong>RELATIONSHIPS MATTER<br />
</strong></p>
<p>In fact, not only do relationships matter, but<br />
&#8220;commonalities&#8221; matter. In other words, what you want<br />
to do when you&#8217;re looking for notes is to find out<br />
ways to build ties with your seller.</p>
<p>These can be social, cultural, sports-related,<br />
geographical, you name it. Almost any activity, sport,<br />
hobby, pastime, event, book, play, food group or<br />
Australian rock band can be a point of commonality.</p>
<p><strong>Let me share with you Joe&#8217;s little gem of a &#8216;<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATnKQ7sMI3I">how-to-find-notes</a></strong><strong>&#8216;<br />
story to demonstrate.</strong></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what he wrote to me today:</p>
<p>** I am the owner of Korean Investment club, but we<br />
are not ready to think about buying notes yet. ( for<br />
lack of understanding)<br />
I was solicited last week from big Korean bank to buy<br />
the note from the person in charge of the note.<br />
He ask me to offer any amount for the first trust<br />
deed with face amount of 2.5MIL or more (including<br />
interest will be 2.7 Mil)<br />
Collateral behind is the 79 room big motel with<br />
restaurants. I am really interesting to buy it,<br />
because I know it&#8217;s worth around 4MIl.<br />
Is there any way to make it through.<br />
Thanks for your advice.</p>
<p><strong>So what are we looking at here? </strong></p>
<p>We have Joe &#8211; the leader of a Korean Real Estate<br />
Investment Club located here in th US. And we have a<br />
big Korean Bank. And that bank has just sent a pretty<br />
interesting lead to Joe.</p>
<p><strong>Does Joe know anything about <a href="http://www.notebuyingprofits.com">buying notes</a>? </strong></p>
<p>No &#8211; he admits as much in the first line of his email.</p>
<p>So do you think that he pitched to this big<br />
Investment Bank that he would be the perfect guy to<br />
buy their notes?</p>
<p>No &#8211; this opportunity just &#8220;landed&#8221; in his lap. And<br />
from what he writes, they&#8217;re offering to him to make<br />
&#8220;any&#8221; offer on that note.</p>
<p>Now for a moment, I want you to stop focusing on the<br />
fact that Joe might actually be able to offer some<br />
fantastically low bid on this note, like $1Mil, and<br />
actually close this deal with this bank. That could be<br />
incredible, yes, if the value of the collateral is<br />
really $4Mil and if the borrower&#8217;s not performing on<br />
the note and Joe can foreclose on the motel.</p>
<p>But hang on a minute. I want to point out something<br />
that is so simple that you probably glossed over it<br />
already, thinking that you&#8217;re supposed to be looking<br />
for something complicated.</p>
<p>What kind of a bank is this? Korean. And where&#8217;s Joe<br />
from? Korea.</p>
<p>So the fact that this note, which is on a California<br />
property, happens to land in Joe&#8217;s lap, should<br />
actually come as no surprise.</p>
<p><strong>Very simply &#8211; banks often want to sell notes to<br />
people that THEY CAN TALK TO. </strong></p>
<p>And sometimes, the people they can talk to look like<br />
them, talk like them, act like them, do business like<br />
them, live like them, and entertain themselves like<br />
them.</p>
<p>Chances are: even if I were Mr. Well Known Note<br />
Investor and I found a way to that Korean Investment<br />
Bank, I would probably NEVER GET THE SAME RECEPTION<br />
AND CREDIBILITY that Joe has.</p>
<p>You see, they&#8217;d RATHER deal with him than you or me<br />
because Joe is one of them in a way that you and I<br />
never will be. So the process of &#8220;getting to know one<br />
another&#8221; for Joe and this bank will always be a whole<br />
lot smaller than the same process for your or me.</p>
<p><strong>So get out and start applying this <a href="http://www.notebuyingprofits.com">Note Buying</a> Tip<br />
101. </strong></p>
<p>Find the Commonalities between You and your<br />
Sellers.</p>
<p>Go find someone who speaks-a your language, and then<br />
see if they have Notes for sale.</p>
<p>Talk soon,</p>
<p>Dean</p>

<p>I hope you enjoyed your turkey on Thursday!</p>
<p>If you are following along in our 8-part Webinar Series on<br />
how to get you jumpstarted to buying your first note<br />
as part of the <a href="http://www.notebuyingprofits.com/privateaccessclub.html" target="_blank">Private Access Club</a> (PAC) (f.ree 30-day Trial,<br />
hint, hint), here&#8217;s an</p>
<p>* * * <strong>How-to-Buy-Notes EXERCISE FOR YOU TO REVIEW</strong> * * *</p>
<p>Find out as much as you can about what (and who)<br />
is on title for:</p>
<p>43 Poplar St, in Old Town, Maine</p>
<p>Follow the instructions in Appendix B: the Title<br />
Checklist from the Roadmap that you receive as part of<br />
the <strong>A-Z <a href="http://www.notebuyingprofits.com/preorder" target="_blank">Note Buying Course</a></strong> (in case you<br />
haven&#8217;t ordered it already &#8211; you are getting 25% off<br />
until including this Sunday with SPECIAL CODE &#8216;tg&#8217;).</p>
<p>Actually, I just realized that the title check list is part<br />
of the free excerpt of those 23 pages worth of<br />
check lists in the course.</p>
<p>So, check our <strong><a href="http://notebuyingprofits.com.s3.amazonaws.com/docs/NBP-Roadmap-Appendix-Sample.pdf" target="_blank">Note Buying Checklists</a></strong>.</p>
<p>And in the <a href="http://www.notebuyingprofits.com/privateaccessclub.html" target="_blank">coming week&#8217;s Private Access Club Session</a><br />
we&#8217;ll review this together and compare results.</p>
<p><strong>===&gt; This is your opportunity to learn how to review<br />
title on a property, and to compare notes with me as<br />
you go.</strong></p>
<p>Learning <a href="http://www.notebuyingprofits.com"><strong>how to buy notes</strong></a> BY DOING.</p>
<p>Remember, this is the 2nd step of 8 in launching<br />
yourself into Note Buying. Step by step.<br />
(And all previous webinars are neatly stored in the<br />
PAC members area for later review for you&#8230;)</p>
<p>And in case you don&#8217;t have the A-Z Course and want to<br />
follow along without it, not a problem<br />
(though you won&#8217;t get as much out of it).</p>
<p>Going through these steps is a VERY useful exercise.<br />
Guaranteed.</p>
<p>So, <a href="http://www.notebuyingprofits.com/privateaccessclub.html" target="_blank">join me next Wednesday at 5pm</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://notebuyingprofits.com/blog/286/how-to-buy-reos-reos-versus-non-performing-notes/">How to buy REOs</a> </strong>- <strong>Comparing REOs vs. Nonperforming Notes</strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s a tough choice, I know.</p>
<p>And I&#8217;m sure some people look at <a href="http://www.notebuyingprofits.com">nonperforming notes</a> and<br />
say &#8220;why would I EVER want to own paper when I can own the real<br />
estate for soooo cheap?!&#8221;</p>
<p>Well, yes. It can be cheap.</p>
<p>Well, yes. It is real property as opposed to a debt<br />
obligation.</p>
<p>And yes, you can get rid of it pretty quickly if you<br />
price it right.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p><strong>* * * So why shouldn&#8217;t everyone drop everything they&#8217;re<br />
doing and chase REOs? * * *</strong></p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p><strong>1.    Valuation Risk.</strong></p>
<p>You&#8217;ve gotta nail the home value,<br />
and take good care of evaluating interior condition<br />
here. It&#8217;s one thing to find yourself with a lemon<br />
(e.g. loan), where you have several ways to turn the<br />
lemon into lemonade (e.g. get borrower to make<br />
payments). It&#8217;s quite another when you have a vacant<br />
property, to try squeezing sweet juice out of this<br />
lemon. Can obviously be done, but you should know your<br />
area values and your interior condition much better when<br />
<a href="http://notebuyingprofits.com/blog/286/how-to-buy-reos-reos-versus-non-performing-notes/">buying REOS</a> than when you&#8217;re buying notes.</p>
<p><strong>2.    Purchase Risk.</strong></p>
<p>They can be a time waster until you<br />
nail your sources! Usually 2-5 brokers deep in a<br />
chain, at least one ubiquitous &#8220;attorney&#8221; who is a<br />
fraud and huckster claiming he or she is (not has, but<br />
&#8220;is&#8221;!) a &#8220;mandate&#8221; for someone else.</p>
<p><strong>3.    Deal Risk.</strong></p>
<p>A friend of mine just spent 2 months<br />
chasing one deal of 16 REOs. He just closed on 1 of<br />
them. All the others were pulled by the seller as the<br />
agents (all but 1 were listed) got the properties into<br />
contract. Or they were lost to a competitor since<br />
there were 3 brokers in between him and the seller.<br />
The one property not pulled was &#8230; you guessed it &#8230; the<br />
one that wasn&#8217;t already listed. The &#8220;loss ratio&#8221; on<br />
note pools &#8211; in other words the rate at which notes<br />
are pulled from a specific pool &#8211; aren&#8217;t as high by<br />
any means. (One day, ask me about the west coast pool<br />
that we lost!)</p>
<p><strong>4.    Discount Risk.</strong></p>
<p>The discounts that you typically<br />
hear on REOs may not be quite as juicy as you&#8217;ve been<br />
made to believe. Unlike a &#8220;sweet&#8221; note deal that<br />
closes in the 30%&#8217;s, REO prices in that range are<br />
typically a pipedream. But you&#8217;ll hear pricing that<br />
low on a regular basis.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not panning REOs by any means.</p>
<p>Just jump in with your eyes open, and don&#8217;t get<br />
fooled by all the hype that you&#8217;re reading about<br />
the REO deals to be had right now.</p>
<p>Talk soon,</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://notebuyingprofits.com/blog/271/loan-modifications-who-took-my-non-performing-mortgage/"><strong>Loan Modifications</strong></a>&#8230; Who took my <a href="http://www.notebuyingprofits.com"><strong>Non-performing Mortgage</strong></a>?</p>
<p><strong>OK, so the word is out, the Doctor is in, and the medicine is &#8230; loan modifications. Specifically, principal write-downs.</strong></p>
<p>Interesting.</p>
<p>The Hope for Homeowners initiative passed by Congress in July and officially launched a month-and-a-half ago to much acclaim, is a potentially positive FHA insurance package aiming to insure $300B of new mortgages for borrowers in a &#8220;negative equity&#8221; position.</p>
<p>Negative equity, of course, meaning that the loans are worth more than the home.</p>
<p><strong>So &#8230; what&#8217;s the catch?</strong></p>
<p>Well, the borrower has to qualify with a 31% or lower DTI ratio, at least 6 payments made and none of them late.</p>
<p>What do they get if they meet those magic criteria? (Oh, by the way, if I had to hazard a guess at the average DTI for loans originated in 2007, it would probably be 40-45%).</p>
<p><strong>So, who&#8217;s going to qualify?</strong></p>
<p><strong>The answer is: very few people.</strong></p>
<p>In the first 2 weeks of the program, exactly 49 people applied, and &#8230; none were approved.</p>
<p>And as for the highly touted FHA Secure program (remember that one &#8211; the one that was supposed to be the saving grace for borrowers who had missed a payment &#8211; well during the same period a total of 203 mortgage applications were filed and 49 approved.</p>
<p>In that same time in California, approximately 1,300 homes saw a Notice of Default filing.</p>
<p>So what&#8217;s the big deal here? Can&#8217;t we just give the H4H program some time?</p>
<p>Sure.</p>
<p>But remember that lenders are going to be looking for federal backing for their principal write-downs if they&#8217;re going to be participating in these 90% principal reduction plans. H4H is one of them.</p>
<p>So, while everyone&#8217;s waiting for the good news on H4H to come out, why not get your wallets out and make an offer on those 49 <a href="http://www.notebuyingprofits.com">non performing notes</a> that were just turned down?</p>
<p>There will be a whole lot more non-performing notes (to buy) where those come from.</p>
<p>Talk soon,</p>
