5 Stocks For A Real Estate Rebound
2012-01-07 00:03:00 Are they finally here? A real bottom and ensuing rebound in the real estate market? Time will tell, but the recent housing data has at least been improving. Add to that, William Dudley, president of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, said today that proper monetary policy that complements other efforts by the government could help the housing within a year or two. President of the Boston Federal Reserve, Eric Rosengren, said the Fed could help the housing market by buying more mortgage backed securities, according to Reuters. The recent spate of good or less bad housing data aside, it should be noted the housing market is still a long way from being out of the woods. Then again, by waiting for the real estate market to look picture perfect, investors can easily miss some big gains in housing-related stocks. With that thought in mind, let's have a look at some stocks that are poised to benefit if and when the U.S. housing market legitimately rebounds.

Can a Real Estate Agent Sell Her Own Short Sale
2011-11-02 06:00:00 The question of dual agency is sometimes more important in a short sale than in any other kind of transaction. You can create short sale dual agency if two agents who work for the same broker each represent their own client. But dual agency is more often associated in a transaction in which the buyer is represented by the same agent who also represents the seller. You can imagine how tricky it gets if an agent tries to represent herself in a short sale, plus represent the buyer. It can't be done. This is but one reason why an agent should not try to sell her own short sale. There are other reasons why an agent should not sell her own short sale.

Protecting Your ASSets: Seven Ways That Dating is Like a Real Estate Transa
2010-05-20 11:36:00 [Ed. Note: The following post is my latest collaboration with my favorite Blawger, BitterLawyer--who offers a hilarious take on the Law that will make you pity lawyers rather than hate them.] When you're a busy professional, dating sucks. After enough first dates, you realize that the process can be boiled down to something similar to a real estate transaction: Long, complicated and riddled with counter offers, deal breakers, inspections, third-parties, surprises and unforeseen expenses. Not to mention bidding wars on hot properties. With toxic asset scrutiny all the rage these days, how can fledgling lawyers protect themselves from the mixed bag of toxic assets trolling the streets?

A Real Estate "Tale from the Front Lines"
2010-03-23 23:26:00 I was once in the hospital having a procedure. The problem, for me, is that it wasn't the type of procedure where they knock you out. Sure enough, after they wheeled me into the recovery room, my cell phone rang. The nurse looked over at my cell phone buzzing on the side table and looked back at me and said "Do you want to pick it up?" "Sure," I instinctively said, without thinking about the fact that I was supposed to be peacefully resting and recovering. Why not, I thought. I was awake, and my face was free and clear to speak into the phone! I proceeded to 'entertain' the medical team as I spoke with...

A Real Estate Auction Should Not Be A Last Resort Method
2008-05-17 00:35:00 Someone recently asked me if an auction should be the last resort to sell their home. She and her husband lived in a nice neighborhood where the homes and yards were kept in pristine condition. They thought their home would sell pretty fast. They had listed their home with a realtor with a six month listing agreement. Since then, they have had very few showings. The agreement expires at the end of the month and they are not sure what to do. It was her understanding that selling a home by auction was only for distressed properties, like foreclosures, or government seized property. I tried to explain to her that things are different today, that more and more homeowners are using the auction method. The National Association of Realtors (NAR) verified this several months ago by stating that in a very few years, 25% or more homes will be sold through auctions. In February 2003, The Wall Street Journal ran a story with the heading, "Auctions Are No Longer On...

Everything Is Getting Better: A Real Estate Fairy Tale
2008-04-30 16:31:00 I’ve decided to lie to you. At least, I’m being honest about it! I have grown tired of reporting weekly, it seems, on the ever expanding, contracting global credit market and the resultant deep recession the U.S. currently finds itself on the cusp of. Americans, perhaps more than people anywhere, love being in denial. We deny we are getting fatter and fatter by eating McDonald’s 15 pounders; we deny that our kids are getting dumber and dumber even if high school seniors often can’t point to the U.S. on a world map; and, we deny that we are in denial, even though we clearly are…about a lot of things. So, why not be in denial about the alleged mortgage/credit crisis (note, I said, alleged!!). Here Goes Home prices are now actually at an all time high! I know, if you read “the news” you’ll be told that prices of existing single family homes fell another 2.6 percent in February for an annual decline of 12.7 percent. Just deny it! Th...

So You Want To Be A Real Estate Wholesaler?
2008-04-07 13:00:00 Whenever I attend my local real estate investment club meeting someone using the same pick-up line inevitably approaches me: “I?m going into wholesaling, can I call you when I have a deal?” Most of these people are never seen or heard from again. It seems that most of them attended some guru?s curse on how to make big bucks in real estate even if you have no money. They fall prey to the notion that it?s really easy, just find a deal and flip it to an investor. How hard could it be? The gurus have these people thinking that there is nothing to it. The reality is that finding deals to wholesale is no easy task. Most of these novices are unprepared to do the work involved. If they do find a deal they have only done half of the work. The other half is having an investor to sell the contract to. Is It A Deal? Many of these wanna-be wholesalers have no clue as to what a good deal is. I can?t even begin to count the number of times I?ve been called with a “hot” de...
