With foreclosures rising nationwide, prices falling, and inventories swelling to historic levels, investors with a discerning eye and knowledge of the foreclosure process can build a profitable portfolio of distressed properties. Here are some helpful tips to help you...

Miami real estate market. - Know your market. The most important tool in your real estate investing toolbox is knowledge of the area where you plan to invest. - Develop an appropriate investment strategy. Find an investment strategy that will work in your market, and then do what it takes to implement that strategy. - Make the foreclosure process work for you. Decide what foreclosure buying technique works best with your investment strategy and your strengths as a person. - Scrutinize each deal. Many real estate investors wrongly assume that if a home is in foreclosure it's a good deal. - Rely on a trustworthy team. You'll be in over your head if you try to do all the work involved in foreclosure investing on your own. - Network with banks and lenders. In a slow real estate market, banks and other lenders are saddled with larger inventories of foreclosed properties and will be more motivated to sell those properties at bargain prices. - Act quickly, but don't be in a hurry. A slow real estate market gives you the upper hand as a buyer, but you'll still need to act quickly to get the best deals. ]]> tag:www.hansenhomesaventura.com,2007:/blogmiamirealestate//1.681 2007-06-25T17:53:16Z 2007-06-26T17:55:24Z

Mortgage giant Freddie Mac reported Thursday that 30-year, fixed-rate mortgages averaged 6.42 percent in its nationwide survey this week. That was up slightly from 6.37 percent last week and represented the highest point for 30-year mortgages since they averaged 6.43 the week of Sept. 14. Analysts attributed the increase to signs of economic strength outside of housing, such as the April rise in orders for big-ticket manufactured goods. Five-year, adjustable-rate mortgages averaged 6.19 percent, up from 6.02 percent. All signs point towards a gradual increase in rates, so if you waiting to lock in a rate or buy a property with a mortgage, now is the time.]]> tag:www.hansenhomesaventura.com,2007:/blogmiamirealestate//1.670 2007-05-30T20:52:45Z 2007-06-01T21:00:03Z
