We have been listed as third in the nation for best opportunities for investors looking to buy and hold properties out of 100 markets. What an exciting time!

The top three markets are Las Vegas, Detroit and Orlando. Our proven system targets properties that will net our investors positive cash flow in any market, up or down. The strategies that our team puts in place takes into account initial investment and common rental rates for the target areas.

We currently just sold the condo that was listed here to a local investor. The condo was analyzed by the numbers and by the investment. Using our system the condo proved to be a positive cash-flow investment to any first time investor. Another condo that we worked on in Central Park (Vista Lakes) was purchased by a pair of brothers that had saved up a little extra cash on the side and are now real estate investors. Anyone can do it. Let us show you the way then walk with you to the finish line.

Surgen Los Foreclosures Un 24%

noreply@blogger.com (BlackDog Properties of Central Florida) — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 01:08:00 +0000

Realty Trac menciono en un reporte (U.S. Foreclosure Market Report) que las ejecuciones hipotecarias, o foreclosures como son mejor conocidos, surgió este pasado Febrero dramáticamente. Los estados que se vieron más afectados fueron Florida, Illinois y New Jersey.

Los números dicen que en estos estados "judiciales" (donde los foreclosure se ejecutan a través de el sistema judicial) las ejecuciones hipotecarias (foreclosures) subieron 2% de Enero y un 24% desde Febrero del 2011. En contraste, los 24 estados que no son judiciales bajaron un 5% de Enero y 23% desde el Febrero 2011.

Aquí en la Florida Central se vio un aumento y lo que esto significa es que si usted se encuentra en peligro con atrasos de la hipoteca en su propiedad, tiene que tomar acción, no se quede con los brazos cruzados. Claro, nosotros recomendamos que nos llame o que llame a unos de nuestros afiliados, pero si decide solicitar los servicios con otro grupo, por favor revise bien los criterios. Se está viendo un aumento también de estafadores tratando de aprovecharse de la crisis. Siéntase en toda confianza de dejarnos un email o llamarnos al (407) 610-2922.

Nuestro equipo de profesionales está listo para servirles a nuestra comunidad de Orlando y toda el área de la Florida Central.

Want To Be An Investor? Try Our DONE-FOR-YOU System!

noreply@blogger.com (BlackDog Properties of Central Florida) — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 03:11:00 +0000

What if there was a way to take full advantage of the foreclosure surplus while minimizing your risk?
What if there was a "system" available without having to purchase books, software or go to a million "Guru" seminars/webinars?
Are you aware that this is the "best opportunity in history" but do not know where to start?

Have you been wondering where we were in 2011?

This could be yours.

We were BUSY... not making Star Wars spoofs but having a record year and having loads of fun with new investors and friends. The idea started when my college classmate decided to sell a vacant property he had in Sanford (Florida). We had come to an arrangement for BlackDog Properties of Central Florida to rehab the vacant single family home and sell it once completed.

The week before we were to get started I attended an IRC meeting in Winter Park and spent some time speaking with the group about this opportunity. A wonderful middle-aged couple approached me with the following idea:

Why don't you rehab your friend's property to rent and sell it to us at a discount?

The rest is DONE-FOR-YOU history. Genius (though not my credit... thank you John!)

To date, that was their first investment property. They had a some cash available and made the most of it. They are now renting the house for $1,100/month and have since purchased two more! Word got around and we have had an investor from England for the Dr. Phillip's area currently receiving $2,500/month in rental income. A local electrician who we have teamed up with in 2011 purchased three houses averaging $30,000/each, all the while supplementing his income that was deeply impacted by the construction recession. I guess this would make this system "Recession Proof"!

As for the property management? Houses By Maria has undertaken each of our investors' properties as a property manager. Our friends not only never lifted a finger or dusted off their shirts, but do not have to qualify renters and deal with tracking down rent payments. Our system is proving itself.

What are you waiting for? Call or email us today!! Take advantage of the foreclosure boom, as investment properties or even your primary residence.

Truly DONE-FOR-YOU. Live and local... get up and let's go Central Florida!

7 Millones de Hipotecas Atrasadas

noreply@blogger.com (BlackDog Properties of Central Florida) — Wed, 20 Oct 2010 00:15:00 +0000

Existen 7,018,000 hipotecas en los Estados Unidos que llevan 30 días o mas de atraso que estén en el procedimiento de foreclosure, de acuerdo a nueva información de Lender Processing Services (LPS). Ubicados en la Florida este bufete le permitió a la prensa estudiar brevemente sus números de septiembre, calculados de su database de casi 40-millones de préstamos hipotecarios. De los más de 7-millones de préstamos en el país actualmente atrasados, 2.1-millon ya comensaron el procedimiento de foreclosure. LPS reporta que 4.9-millones están en pre-foreclosure, recién atrasados, con la mitad de estas ya atrasados más de 90 días. Esto pone el 9.27% de las hipotecas en atraso y peligro de ejecución.

Bank of America Halts Foreclosures (Para Los Foreclosure y Casos de Embargos)

noreply@blogger.com (BlackDog Properties of Central Florida) — Wed, 20 Oct 2010 00:13:00 +0000

4 Octubre/October 4 2010

Bank of America se unió a Ally Financial, antes GMAC (General Motors), en dar un alto a los foreclosures (ejecución de hipotecas). “Estamos analizando nuestros procedimientos,” declaro Bank of America en un comunicado a la prensa. “Para asegurar que los casos siguieron los procedimientos correctos, Bank of America retrasará el proceso para corregir los casos en los estados donde los foreclosure todavía no hayan sido ejecutadas en los 23 estados donde sus cortes tienen jurisdicion sobre foreclosures.” Bank of America no tenia un estimado sobre la cantidad de hogares que van a verse afectados por la demora en el procedimiento. Este anuncio llega dos días luego de que JP Morgan Chase dijo que también suspenderá sus foreclosures para 56,000 hogares luego de enterarse de que sus empleados aprobaban los foreclosures sin leer los documentos.

La semana pasada, Ally Financial, antes GMAC (General Motors), declaro que también suspenderán foreclosures en esos 23 estados. Freddie Mac declaro el Viernes pasado que esta “gravemente preocupado” con los reportes recientes y que las practicas alegadas no conformam con sus normas. “Esperamos proveer instrucciones a nuestros servidores hoy en la tarde que aseguran sus procedimientos de foreclosure conforman con la ley de estado y con los requisitos de Freddie Mac,” declaró en un comunicado a la prensa. “Es esencial asegurar la integridad del procedimiento de foreclosure.”

Egan Dr- Azalea Park Presents Its Newest Beauty

noreply@blogger.com (BlackDog Properties of Central Florida) — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 03:37:00 +0000

Wow!! I think we have outdone ourselves on this one, friends! The finishing touches are now going on at our latest rehab house in the heart of Orlando, beautiful Azalea Park. Come and check us out:

Egan Dr, Orlando, FL 32822

Seriously. This property reflects luxury with just the sheer appearance of the majestic front columns. The house was beautifully stucco'd and decorated with a radiant beige/brown combination. When we first walked it with one of our top Realtors, Denise Bridge of Trent Realty, we fell in love and put an offer in right from her phone (I know… crazy!). We had only made it through the front door but the house was awesome, it just needed some minor TLC and luxury updating. We chose to go high-end here because the house just has this proud personality that it was fit for a king.

The stunning front columns distinguish this house from all others in the neighborhood. Sixteen-inch tile throughout the 1300 (thirteen hundred) square-foot home add a lot of flavor to its open floor-plan. The kitchen literally shines with new 42-inch cherry wood cabinets and granite countertops. The countertop's stone was very carefully selected so as to naturally combine it with the color that we had chosen for the walls and the cherry wood 42" cabinets. Originally there was no direct access to the back porch from the back living-room. Now there is a welcoming French Door access way outside to the screened-in porch. This week, as we continue to finalize all of the finishes and details, we are also having the landscaping professionally designed and planted by Classic Lawn Care, who are available at (321) 299-4439.

I'm sure there's no need to talk about the location but here it goes: situated near the Goldenrod and SR 408 interchange, the house is literally minutes away from literally everything. The airport, the Waterford Lakes shopping district, SR 417, I-4, SR 408, Semoran, Fashion Square Mall, Downtown Orlando, University of Central Florida and, of course, Publix supermarkets and several gas stations are all within a short 15-minute drive.

The Open House is currently being planned to be held August 21st and 22nd from 11AM to 3PM. All of you reading please stop by and have a look before its gone! Many of you remember that the last two houses sold on the first day on the MLS market! Asking price is $98,000 and we can assist in obtaining a qualifying mortgage. We will see you the weekend of August 21st and 22nd at EGAN DRIVE.

Again the address is: EGAN DRIVE, Orlando 32822

UPDATE:
Gone! This beautiful home sold to a first time homebuyer without being listed on the MLS market! Asking price was $98,000 and this sold in September of 2010 for $104,000. Congrats to our team of Realtors!

Estoy Haciendo Una Bancarrota… ¿Todavía Necesito El Short Sale?

noreply@blogger.com (BlackDog Properties of Central Florida) — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 19:29:00 +0000

¿Para qué necesito hacer una venta corta (short sale) si estoy haciendo una bancarrota?

Estuvimos reunidos anoche con profesionales de bienes raíces en una función benéfica aquí en la Florida Central. Junto al grupo de nosotros había un abogado que se dedica a las bancarrotas. Nosotros nos presentamos como equipo anti-foreclosure. Por lo regular, estos son nuestros (ustedes y nosotros) aliados, pero en este caso me choco con una mentalidad que cuando empiezo a investigar, es casi la norma entre estos profesionales.

De una conversación bastante viva pudimos sacar los siguientes puntos:
1. Ellos no les interesa su futuro crédito, pues, no tienen ningún incentivo;
2. Hacer el short sale junto a la bancarrota les cuesta un par de hojas de papel extra y es por esto no quieren hacer el esfuerzo y (mal) aconsejan que no es buena idea;
3. No le ven el punto, y esto se atribuye otra vez a que no tienen un incentivo para importarse del futuro de usted y su familia, sino en el presente;

Según esta conversación con un abogado reconocido en Orlando, no entendió el porqué tratar de salvar algo del crédito si se va a echar todo a perder. Vamos a arropar todo con la bancarrota y todo el mundo feliz.

Incorrecto.

Ejecutando un short sale, aun en bancarrota, es un paso gigante adelante si usted tiene planes de restaurar su crédito y volver a comprar una casa. Al mínimo, podrás obtener otra hipoteca (mortgage) en los 24-meses que regula la corte de la bancarrota, en vez de 7- 10 años.

Punto. Se entiende que si usted está en posición de bancarrota y foreclosure es porque hubo un cambio financiero drástico en su vida. Sin embargo, estos procesos son diseñados para lidiar con las situaciones presente. Se entiende también que con un foreclosure o bancarrota en su crédito usted se puede despedir de un futuro crédito. En esa misma línea, será sumamente difícil el poder comprar una casa nueva por los siguientes 7- 10 años.

Es posible que mientras la casa suya es su hogar, en términos numéricos, la casa no vale lo que usted pago o lo que usted debe. Si se encuentra saltando ciertos “bills” o facturas para pagar otros y jugando con lo poco que le sobra para tratar de salvar su casa, no brinque automáticamente a una bancarrota. Hoy no hay ningún incentivo de un prestamista (banco) hacerle una modificación de préstamo que realmente vale la pena. Es porque el principal de su préstamo no se cambia.

Una pregunta que nosotros le hacemos a nuestros clientes que también están haciendo una bancarrota es la siguiente: Aunque mi crédito esta dañado hoy, queremos yo y mi familia volver a comprar una casa en el futuro? Si la respuesta es “SI” entonces deberá considerar seriamente la idea de hacer el short sale junto a su bancarrota.

Estamos disponibles para aclarar cualquier duda que usted tenga o para contestar cualquier pregunta. Estamos dedicados a servirle a nuestra comunidad.

Venta Corta y La Modificación De Prestamos En Orlando

noreply@blogger.com (BlackDog Properties of Central Florida) — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 19:13:00 +0000

¡Evite Foreclosure Hoy!

Usted ha visto los anuncios en la televisión o lo ha escuchado en la radio. “¿Atrasado en sus pagos del hogar? Llámenos.” Una advertencia: no confié en cualquier empresa que usted vea. Pregunte por referencias, investiga sobre esa empresa. BlackDog Properties of Central Florida, junto a nuestro gran equipo, hemos ayudado a más de 300 clientes como usted que se atrasaron en el pago de su hipoteca.

En este mercado, es casi una certitud que su casa debe de lo que vale. Si es un condominio o un town-house, ese valor puede ser tan impactante como en 200% o 300%. Es decir que vale la mitad o más de la mitad de lo que todavía se debe. En las casas, nosotros vimos una propiedad de $1.5 venderse en $349 (a través de nuestro equipo). Los dueños de estas casas no son malas personas pero quizá se enfrentaron una dificultad que no les permitió seguir corriente en su hipoteca.

Ahí es que entramos nosotros, vestidos de azul y rojo con una “S” en el pecho y una capa roja. Usted tiene opciones, pero la decisión de cual opción tomar es la crítica. Es tan fácil como usted puede simplemente no hacer nada y abandonar la casa. O, puede entregarle la casa al banco. Entre otras opciones son restaurar el préstamo pagando todo lo atrasado en un pago o achacarle lo debido al ya inflado principal. Estas son formas de modificar el préstamo. Hablemos ahora del Short Sale, o la venta corta.

Lo He Escuchado, Lo He Visto… ¿Que Es Un Short Sale (Venta Corta)?

Para explicarlo sencillamente, no es nada más que el (o los) banco(s) aceptando menos de lo que se debe para satisfacer un préstamo a través de la venta de una casa. Vamos a suponer que usted debe $200,000 en su casa y nosotros le compramos la casa en $150,000. El banco acordó recibir los $150,000 en vez de $200,000 y salir de su cuenta.

¿Porque El Banco Haría Esto?
El banco no se especializa en controlar propiedades. Olvida lo que alguien le comento. Los bancos no quieren su casa. El negocio de ellos es el dinero, no bienes raíces. El proceso del foreclosure es uno sumamente costoso para los bancos. En el estado de la Florida, el banco puede demandarle a usted por los atrasos y por el balance del préstamo. Por eso, ellos contratan servicios legales y estos son los que preparan todos los documentos y se los presentan a la corte en su contra. Después de este proceso legal, el banco entonces toma posesión de la propiedad, ahora contratando los servicios de un Realtor que le maneje la propiedad, que incluye desyerbar la grama, mantener las luces y el agua prendidas y hasta a veces hacerle arreglos. Después de todo ese esfuerzo, el banco como quiera no va a recuperar el balance del préstamo original y ahora incurrió gastos mayores. Es por esto que el banco QUIERE hacer una venta corta (short sale) y salir de la propiedad lo más pronto posible.

¿Y Como Me Afecta?
Lo más obvio es el crédito. Un foreclosure e igual o más devastador a su vida financiera que una bancarrota. Mientras tanto, un short sale es un “hit” leve y temporario. Mientras que la reposesión de un hogar dura afectándole de 7 a 10 años a su crédito, un short sale se puede aliviar de su crédito en tan pronto como 90-dias. ¿Que significa para usted? Esto significa que PUEDE VOLVER A COMPRAR un hogar y aprovechar de este momento histórico. Debe ser mencionado que nunca antes en la historia de los Estados Unidos se ha visto donde los precios de las casas y los intereses de los prestamos estén bajitos a la misma vez, y menos a estos niveles tan bajos.

¿Qué Hacemos Por Usted?
Nosotros le ofrecemos un aliado. Nosotros le ofrecemos alivio de las llamadas de los bancos. Mas allá, le ofrecemos un equipo que lucha por usted y que sabe como solucionar un short sale. Hecho equivocado o sin información, una venta corta puede virarse en su contra de forma de los taxes y crédito. Nosotros peleamos para que los bancos no los ataquen después de la venta en la forma de taxes, que esta en sus derechos de hacer. Confia en nuestro equipo.

¿Por Qué Sigue Mencionando El Equipo?
BlackDog Properties of Central Florida esta compuesto de un equipo sumamente educada en bienes raíces y el mercado. Entre nosotros tenemos a inversionistas de bienes raíces, profesionales del mercadeo, abogados de bancarrotas, expertos de crédito, abogados de impuestos (taxes), abogados de foreclosure defense, realtors, bancos, expertos de hipotecas y mortgage brokers, entre otros.

Usted no está solo en este proceso y esto no debe ser un proceso de alto stress.

Dedicados a servirle a nuestra comunidad como de verdad merece ser servida. Agarra nuestra mano hoy, y vengase con nosotros.

Deficiency Judgments and Short Sale?

noreply@blogger.com (BlackDog Properties of Central Florida) — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 02:03:00 +0000

We at BlackDog Properties of Central Florida have saved and sold preforeclosures in Ocoee, preforeclosures in Deltona and preforeclosures in Orlando and Wedgefield. We have created an investor friendly team that has sold many investment properties via a short sale. Both seasoned real estate investors and your typical homeowner face a huge financial detail in a short sale that cannot be overlooked… a deficiency judgment.

In simple terms, when a lender accepts a short sale, the amount of debt forgiven becomes a taxable income. This means that if a homeowner owes $200,000 on a house and the lender accepts $130,000, the homeowner is responsible for paying taxes on the differences, which in this example is $70,000. Lenders in Florida seek this deficiency judgment because our laws allow them.

Regardless of short sale or foreclosure, the homeowner is on the hook for a deficiency judgment. Period. Multiply these by however many homes you may have and we’re talking serious cheese! Now do you see the importance of putting your trust in a true professional? The laws allow for a lender to seek legal action to recover any losses on a foreclosure. This means whether a short sale or foreclosure, they want to hit you up with a lawsuit for the difference on their loss. If the lender wins, they can attack your assets, income, credit and peace of mind until you pay this amount.

How can a professional help me?
OK. Don’t do anything and you get foreclosed on. Now you have no other recourse than to pay or claim the income via a 1099. However, you have another alternative. Call us today and we will take care of the short sale, save your credit and duke it out with the lender to control your destiny. Would you rather us (you and our team) have control of this important matter or leave it to the foreclosure gods?

Our expert negotiators will fight for you. Our connections within the lenders allow us to use contingencies and negotiation tactics that can sway them to wave any form of defiency. Most of the time they do agree, however, sometimes they say “no". While ultimately it will be up to the lender for rules of acceptance, our negotiators are trained to fight for YOUR interests.

Please note that we are not lawyers nor do we claim to be law experts. These are our interpretations. You should consult your attorney for a legal advice. Our many thanks to Cory Boatright and Charles Stigger for their input on this subject.

Do Short Sales Central Florida

noreply@blogger.com (BlackDog Properties of Central Florida) — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 16:06:00 +0000

Thank you Central Florida!

We have helped doctors, fast food employees, lawyers, veterans, electricians, engineers and many others in between sell their home through the short sale process. We would like to thank those of you who have entrusted our services to help them through their difficult times. We would like to invite those who are on the fence to give us a call and talk to us.

A short sale is a very serious process that should be handled by a professional. Most Realtors are not short sale professionals or even specialists. This is why they team up with BlackDog Properties of Central Florida and ensure a successful negotiation. A Realtor just does not have the time to talks to the banks daily and do not typically possess the negotiation training necessary for loss mitigation. When choosing who will negotiate your short sale… please ask for all pertinent credentials… or call us!

Banks will come calling. Once the short sale process starts, some banks like to call and put pressure on the homeowner by mentioning that the short sale was denied, rejected or cancelled. Please do not be alarmed by this as this is standard lender practice. In a negotiation, the first party places their offer then the second party counters. The lenders like to send out letters or phone calls whenever they “b” an offer and make it sound as if there is nothing more that can be done when in fact this is just part of the negotiation. If we sent you a letter every time we rejected a lender’s counter offer you will be inundated with letters! Do not be alarmed, these lenders will call and try to speak to you directly. If they do call, by all means, refer them to your friendly Realtor in charge of your short sale!

Credit help. We have partnered up with one of the nation’s top credit repair and counseling companies! The difference? This company, based out of Nevada, has a GUARANTEE TO RAISE YOUR CREDIT SCORE… and many times within the first month of working with you! Our goal is to first help you out of your foreclosure situation and secondly, put you in a position where you are able to purchase another home at a more affordable price and rate. How many real estate companies do you know that look out for your best interests in that manner? As a bonus, for working with BlackDog Properties of Central Florida, our partner will waive their initial consultation fees!

We work with realtors. Nationwide, around 6% of short sales are closing. How alarming is this? This is based largely in part of lack of education or preparation. Many homeowners and realtors are trying to perform these operations alone. This can be very stressful. In Orlando, we strive to educate and help all of our clients and our success rate is one of the highest in the nation. Our team has the “know how” to get the job done.

We work with investors. There are a lot of properties owned by investors that are let go into foreclosure just about the tax implications. In many cases, even though the property was an investment property… you may not owe Uncle Sam a penny! Our team will instruct you on this. If you are a real estate investor looking to unload properties via a short sale, we got you covered.

Our team speaks from experience. Most of us that make up the core of BlackDog Properties of Central Florida have been through either the foreclosure process or a short sale. We are truthful when we say “we know what you are going through, let’s work this out for you.”

A special thanks to the Orlando Magic for an exciting and wonderful year! We look forward to next year and let the Vinsanity era begin!

Realtors: Don't Short Sales Stink?

noreply@blogger.com (BlackDog Properties of Central Florida) — Mon, 18 May 2009 16:16:00 +0000

SHORT SALES SUCK!!

We here at BlackDog Properties of Central Florida love our real estate agents. Why is there the stigma of the Real Estate Investor being a bad guy? Some real estate agents think that there is an unwritten rule against Investors and them working together. When it comes right down to it, if in harmony, we complement each other.

An average short sale takes 8-months to complete and all in all takes 30-hours. If you're a real estate agent and have attempted to work a short sale, you know this is generous. How often are you stuck on HOLD for at least 45-minutes at a time while your life is on pause? When the pre-screener on the other end answers, how often are they nice and courteous? NEVER!

When they begin speaking to you, they often start the conversation condesendingly, insulting your intelligence and laughing at your incomplete short sale package. Then you ask the homeowner to dig up the missing documents. As time goes by, you are now ready to resubmit the package. Then on HOLD again. And again. And again.

Then you find a buyer. Great news! Now, if only I could get the negotiator on the phone, then we could close this case out. Wait, you still haven't passed the prescreen part! 30 days go by, 60 days go by and you have yet to speak to the negotiator of your case. Then... you lose your buyer.

Short Sales Suck! Just check out the graphic to the right and you will find our tip for you to help get these things closed quickly! Allow us to free up those 45-minute to 1-hour blocks of your daily life. We do not charge you. You can be more attentive to your clients and work on client retention and referrals. You always get your commission, anywhere from 2.5% to 4%.

You can get more short sale deals closed; wash, rinse and repeat! Let us do all of the dirty work. We work with a team of real estate agents who funnel their short sales to us and they just focus on finding the buyers. On average, our deals are ready to close within 90-days!! All you have to worry about are getting the contracts signed!!

Orlando Loan Modifications

noreply@blogger.com (BlackDog Properties of Central Florida) — Tue, 05 May 2009 13:53:00 +0000

HOPE for Homeowners (Help 4 Homeowners) and Hope Now

On a daily basis we are asked about orlando loan modifications and how the government programs can help, such as HOPE 4 Homeowners and Hope Now. Sure, we have no issues with modifying your loan as we have a great team of professionals that do nothing but loan mods, but there are many details and particulars that really need to be fine-tuned prior to proceeding with loan modifications.

It’s not that we want you to short sale with us… period… because it is definitely not that way. We purchase and sell homes in probate and bankruptcy, wholesale properties to investors, lease-option purchases… but the reality of the foreclosure cannot be ignored.

Last July, then-President Bush signed into law the $320-Billion homeowner bailout program aimed at modifying 1 to 2 million “at-risk” mortgages. I bet all you were probably thinking, wow, finally! A bailout for me!!! … WRONG! A bailout for ONE!

THE SKINNY: When the program was officially designed the intent was to help at-risk borrowers refinance into cheaper government-guaranteed loans. This was 1 to 2 million… but when the bill was officially enacted, the number was revised to 400,000. As of April 8, 2009, H4H had received 865 applications and modified only ONE mortgage!!! It's becoming something of a pattern: The government announces a program designed to stabilize financial markets or kickstart lending, but after weeks or months of delay, the goal is shifted or the program simply doesn't work as expected.

I explained this concept to a group of homeowners a few months back and I think I will provide a blog for it detailing why the program will not/did not work. Long story short, one of the main requirements was that you couldn’t be underwater by more than 5%. Do the math…… not exactly in touch with reality, is it?

Well, through all of this mess, to the rescue came… the Hope Now program. The problem with Hope Now has always been the percentage of re-defaults. You know, people who get their mortgage modified, but then six months later end up in default again. Remember, Hope Now is an alliance of lenders, which I endearingly call the alliance of evil (with all respect to Marvel Comics!!!) This alliance is nothing more than a group of banks! What are they trying to do??? Help the homeowner? They stated they were on course to double the number of loan modifications it completes in 2009, however, the group could not estimate how many of the homeowners it had helped fall back into delinquency.

The HOPE NOW February 2009 data shows that modifications were more than half of all solutions provided to homeowners. Yet, the number of foreclosures started in February increased from 217,000 in January to 243,000. Yes, foreclosures are still rising. The banks are still doing something fishy…

GET EDUCATED! With 53% of the loan modification defaulting within the first six months of modification and the banks knowing this, what are they really doing? The lender works with the troubled borrower, trying the entire time to GET AS MUCH MONEY AS POSSIBLE OUT OF THE TROUBLED BORROWER’S POCKET!

IN OTHER NEWS: The wall street journal reported last week that banks are getting ready to ramp up foreclosures since they are so far behind they are losing too much revenue. Do not be the next.

DO NOT FALL INTO THE MOUSETRAP: Call us RIGHT NOW, we are here to serve you.

Avoid Foreclosure Orlando

noreply@blogger.com (BlackDog Properties of Central Florida) — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 16:55:00 +0000

Congratulations!! You didn't just stumble upon us, you are taking action!

One of the most common behaviors I have observed in homeowners in danger of facing foreclosure in Orlando is denial. Unfortunately, this behavior can lead them down to wrong decision-making... like the ol' ostrich does, stick their heads in the sand and hope for the best. There are millions of people that have been foreclosed on and statistics say that there are millions more that will be foreclosed. This is scary.

If you have any timidness you can check that at the door! Our team is friendly and outgoing... and we work hard to serve you. It is our intent in every way, shape or form to find the absolute best solution for you. Sign up for our email list to obtain a list of some of these solutions.

How to avoid foreclosure. Our number one solution has been the short sale, followed by loan modifications. There are many myths and not enough facts out there in the blogosphere or the good ol' web 2.0, but we always want to set the record straight. Have a question? Call us... right now. Yes, I saw the time... call us anyways!

Why would a short sale benefit you over a loan modification? Simple... depends on your situation! Like I have been harping on when I talk to groups, individuals and online friends, there is no "cookie cutter" solution. The fact of a short sale is that it gives you an opportunity to back off and take a deep breath. As you're exhaling, you are working on repairing your credit so that eventually, again, depending on your situation, you may be purchase a new home and take advantage of the crazy low interest rates and the crazy low house prices.

You know what's also insane??? Never in history have there been such low interest rates, low home prices and so much inventory!!! Did I mention NEVER??

So, avoid foreclosure Orlando... if you've been served, stop foreclosure in its tracks!!

Call on us, we're ready to be your ally: (407) 610-9975.

Orlando Short Sales

noreply@blogger.com (BlackDog Properties of Central Florida) — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 21:44:00 +0000

Thank you for stopping by and checking us out! Why do people in Central Florida call us the Orlando Short Sale Authority? As all inventions, BlackDog Properties of Central Florida was born out of necessity. That necessity was to avoid foreclosure. After our adjustable rate mortgage decided to take a hike without us, we found ourselves struggling to make ends meet. Thankfully, during a business trip to Arizona we stumbled upon Geoff Nowlin, one of the nation’s top real estate investors. After a few short minutes of conversing our situation casually came up… and now the rest is short sale history.

We successfully negotiated our personal home, our primary residence, via a short sale. This meant we were completely and 100% debt free from the mortgage AND did not owe any taxes on the balance accepted. Not only that, but it was a win-win situation for everybody involved. Our property was bought by a local investor at a great bargain, we were now free of the mortgage debt that was drowning and stressing us out and the bank got to avoid a costly foreclosure.

Since those days in your shoes we are now able to say “we know what you are going through and we are here to help find the best possible solution for you!” There are A LOT of scam artists out there, we’ve all seen them on the nightly news. Call on us.. honest, experienced, professional and most important… you are included in our TEAM!

Call on us, we are here to SERVE you.
