Bellevue / Seattle Real Estate Mortgage Rate Watch: MORE JOBS REPORTS: Numbers below expectations. Labor Department reported 103,000 below 150,000. Private Job Growth 113,000 below 162,000. Bad right…….. SURPRISE!!!! The Unemployment Rate MOVED DOWN from 9.8% to 9.4% and Media is having a hay day with the numbers. This would have sent rates higher as it is good news for the economy, BUT the EURO still continues to show signs of UNCERTAINTY and with UNCERTAINTY investors seek a “Safe Haven” which is the U.S. Bond market. This is causing yields to lower and RATES to lower also. HOWEVER this can and will be short lived as investors will only remain until they see signs of stability in the EURO, then once again those funds will leave the U.S. bond market sending yields higher and RATES higher.

Time to create an action plan if you are refinancing or purchasing this year. Timing will be KEY. It is never to early to plan. Prepare yourself from documenation to qualifying strategically for the best financing!

Historically, interest rates tend to settle a bit lower after the New Year has started. This year is taking its own course of action with the real estate recovery key for this economy. Typically you will see rates trend a bit lower closer to February of each year. This trend is a not a huge drop in rates but can be around .125-.250 % reduction in rate.

Since the economy is in recovery mode, interest rates are close or at rock bottom today. As the economy continues to recovery, the market knows mortgage rates will climb as the economy strengthens. This is a key signal to refinance and secure your rate sooner than later. If you wait 30-60 days to see if rates settle a bit lower, continue to follow the daily trends at http://www.mortgagereel.com.

Making the decision to purchase real estate in another country can be quite daunting. For one thing, there could be a formidable language barrier. Then there’s the entire notion of the process: rules, regulations, and procedures vary widely from country to country, which can become quite confusing to a first-time homebuyer. Additionally, for better or worse, Italy is known for its red tape and bureaucracy, which can make everything even more difficult.

At the end of the day, however, the hassles will prove to be worth it. When the running around is over, you will be the proud new owner of a home in Tuscany, Italy, one of the most unique regions in all of the world. To aid you in the process of looking for real estate for sale in Tuscany, look below for some tips.

The first step is to find a local expert that can guide you through the process. Make sure that this counsel (preferably with a background in the law) is beholden only to you, and will remain loyal throughout the process. There are various agencies operating throughout the area that can provide this kind of service. The last thing you want is a conflict of interest that could result in favoritism being shown towards the seller or the listing agent.Discuss with this agent exactly what you’re looking for in a property. You should know ahead of time whether you’ll be renting it out primarily, or whether it will serve as a second home for your family. Having these goals in mind will determine the areas you look in, as well as the kinds of properties that best suit your needs.

The next move to make is a visit to the country to look at properties. Be objective, and don’t get too caught up in specific villas, homes, or farmhouses for sale in Tuscany. Above all, get some perspective by visiting a number of different properties; settling for the first place that catches your eye can be a recipe for disaster. Once you’ve seen a bunch of different real estate and have, after careful deliberation, settled on the perfect place for your family, it’s time for the more financial matters.

Place a deposit to secure the home, and then leave the remaining legal matters to your lawyer. He or she can advise you on the tax matters, as well as questions of contract law. The contract procedure can be completed by your attorney, as long as you have signed a power of attorney agreement that grants them the ability to act in your place.

Purchasing one of the many Tuscan properties for sale can be a start to a new, fulfilling life for you and your family. As long as you practice some due diligence and patience during the process, you can make it pain-free, and at the end of it, you’ll have a gorgeous new home to settle into in the heart of Tuscany. That’s something that you can’t put a price on.

Eight Tips for Getting Started in Real Estate Investing

Introduction

This article is just the basics for getting started in real estate investing. This is not a how to article but an article that gives you some information about things to do to get started. Everything in this article is tools that can be applied to helping anyone get started in real estate investing. I am going to give you my eight keys to getting started. Nothing is right or wrong but reflects the point of view of the author. Laws and legal practices vary from state to state, and laws can change over time. The author does not vouch for the legality of his opinions, nor is there any intent to supply legal advice. The author strongly encourages the reader to consult with professionals and an attorney prior to entering in any real estate transaction or contract. The author is not a writer but he is a real estate investor. There will be grammar mistakes and errors, so don’t be too critical of the grammar but focus your energy on what is being said. With that said prepare yourself to think a little differently and expand your mind. Let’s get started on an amazing adventure.

The Eight Tips are as follows

1. Desire
2. Goal Setting
3. Learning What To Do
4. Attending a Real Estate Investing Seminar
5. The Billings Montana Market
6. Finding a Mentor
7. Your Real Estate Team
8. Just Do IT

1. Desire

Before we get in to the bolts and nails of real estate investing in I want to talk to you about desire. If you are going to be successful at anything in life including real estate investing you have to have the desire to do it. Desire is defined as longing or craving, as for something that brings satisfaction or enjoyment. Desire stresses the strength of feeling and often implies strong intention or aim. In real estate investing if you don’t have a desire to learn and grow as a human being and really get satisfaction out of it, then real estate investing is going to be hard to do. When I go out and look at a property it brings me a lot of enjoyment. Every aspect brings me joy from talking to home owners, figuring out how I can make a deal work, to buying the house and to finding a good homeowner or tenant for the house. Real estate investing may not be for everyone but real estate investing can offer anyone the financial freedom we all crave for. If you do not have the desire for real estate investing that is ok, it can still help you to live your dreams and help you to get where you want to go in the future.

Why is real estate investing an amazing avenue for anyone to live out all of their dreams? Let me ask you a few questions. Do you have enough money to do anything you want? Do you have everything you want? No debt? A nice house? Great Marriage? The freedom to do anything regardless of how much it costs and the time it takes? If you have all of these things then you are one of the few people in America who does. Most people may be working fifty hours a week and making just enough to pay their bills. In today’s day and age most people are living pay check to pay check never really knowing if they will make enough to pay the bills that just keep piling up. If you cannot keep up with your monthly bills how are you going to plan for retirement or send your kids to college or have time to enjoy life. The answer to all of these questions is becoming financially free. Now it’s not going to be easy everyone will have to get off the couch and out of their comfort zone. Real estate is proven to be one of the fastest ways to get your out of the rat race of the nine to five and begin living the life you deserve to live. Everyone wants something different out of their life. Some dream of traveling the world, spending more time with family, volunteering, golfing, laying on a beach, giving back to the community, or anything that will make them happy. There are thousands of things that make people happy.

Making it in real estate takes a person who has a strong desire to change their lives for the better and think big. Anyone can become a great real estate investor. It is going to take a lot of work and can be a struggle at times but in the end it will be the most amazing feeling ever. The people that make it in real estate investing all have a few things in common. First they run their real estate investing business like any other business out there. Second they get out there and network with anyone and everyone. Some people might be like me and have a hard time talking to other people. If you are that is ok, anyone can learn how to become a people person, it just takes hard daily work. You have to push yourself past your comfort zone. The third thing is that you cannot be afraid to fail. Everyone has failed at something but the most successful people out their learn from their failures. The fourth thing is that you have to put a good team together. I will go into putting a team together in a later chapter. The concept of putting a team together is so that when you don’t know something you have team members that know what to do and can help you with questions. The can also make sure that you are not working yourself to death. You do not want to be the person doing everything in your business. Doing everything is a receipt for failure. You have to put together good people who you can trust and rely on. The fifth thing is that you need a mentor. Sixth and final is the desire to do it. No one can become successful at something if they don’t want to do it and don’t get satisfaction out of what they are doing.

2. Setting Goals

Having goals is one of the most important aspects of achieving what you want in life. You don’t want to just have your goals up in your head you want to write them down and past what you have wrote on the wall somewhere or in the bathroom mirror. You want to review your goals daily and read them out loud to yourself. This way you remind yourself everyday why you are building your business.

How should you start to write down you goals? First off you should think big, and by big I mean HUGE. If your goals are too small you will easily achieve them and have nothing else to look forward too. You should start off by asking yourself the question if I had all the money and time in the world what would I do, what would I buy, how would I spend my time, and how would I spend my energy. Are you starting to write these down? Well you should be. Think about what you want, spending time with family, traveling the world, the best cars, a castle, owning a small country, running for president, having the biggest real estate investing business in your area or in the country. Whatever your dreams and what you want out of your life, write it down. Some of my goals are becoming free, traveling the world, having a Ferrari, having 10 vacation homes all over the world. Right now I am just trying to get you out of your comfort zone of thinking and let your imagination run.

There are several ways to set goals. I have learned a lot of ways you can set you goals and there is no right or wrong way. The best ways that I have found to set your goals is to break them up into two categories. First your short term goals. This should be goals from a month out to around a year. The second is your long term goals these goals are you think big goals and what you see for your future.

For year one I like to first make a list of what I want to achieve this year and I will give you an example of how to do that. For year one you want to be very specific first you want to list what you want your income to be at the end of the year, next how much cash in the bank you want (this is money in your checking account, not assets). Next you want to list how much you are going to give. Giving is a very important, this can be giving to charity, giving of gifts to friends and family, giving to your school or anything you can dream of. As long as what you give brings joy to others who need it more than you. Next list what bad habits you have that you want to eliminate. Weather is be quitting smoking, spending too much on junk, drinking too much, working too much, not spending enough time with family, too much TV, not exercising and many more. We all have bad habits that need to be changed in order for use to grow as human beings. Under each of these bad habits list out some steps that you can take in order to quit them. If you bad habit is being lazy and not exercising enough what can you do to change that. Well you can get a gym membership or a home work out program. Commit yourself you following through with a plan to work out 3-5 days a week. For you to change these bad habits you have to be totally committed and follow through with a detailed plan you set for yourself. After you have your plans in place you should start listing several things you want to achieve or do in the next year. This can be start a successful business, spend time with family, travel to 2-5 places and so on. Now under each of these you should also write a detailed plan on what you need and what you need to do in order to achieve these goals. Finally you should take all of this information you have a write on page on what you see your life being over the next year. Doing this is a great exercise to really see what you want out of life.

Goals Year One

This is what I am going To Do This Year
Income: $ 500,000
Cash: $ 100,000
Give: $ 20,000

Bad Habits that will be changes:

Over Sleeping 1. Go to bed at 11 p.m. 2. Use a timer and set it for 8 hours 3. Set the timer on the other side of the room

Buying things that you don’t need: 1. Going out shopping less 2. If you have the urge to buy something think to yourself is thing item going to help me to achieve my goals of becoming financially free? 3. Tell friends what you are doing, so they can help to stop you.

What I want to Achieve:

Start a successful Real Estate Investing Business: (you should write a detailed step by step plan of everything you need in order to achieve your goal)

Travel: Where do I want to visit? 1. Gators football game (what I need to do it, money, etc)

And last your own page about what you want to achieve using words like I will and only positive words.

For long term goals you don’t need to be as specific right now, but you should list them and under them list a few steps or smaller goals that need to be achieved before you are able to achieve them. With the long term goals always think big. Another good exercise for long term goals is to make a collage of you goals. Put pictures of the house you want on it, places you want to travel, a picture of your family, a number of what income you want in or anything you can think of.

When you’re looking for a home in the Tucson area, consider buying Sahuarita real estate. Sahuarita is a town that is located about 15 miles south of Tucson. The town has a rich history going back as far as 200 AD. The area was inhabited by ancestors of the modern Tohono O’Odham nation. Eventually, the Native Americans were removed from the land and the reservation was formed. Sahuarita began on the site as a small town where the railroad converged. Later, the federal government used the land for an airstrip. Eventually, the town began to grow and today there are more than 24,000 people living here.

Sahuarita has the Santa Cruz River running through it during rainy periods. Madera Canyon is south of the town and is a beautiful location for hiking and taking day trips. The area is known as an important area for bird watching. Most of the residents of the town hold jobs in Tucson, since it is very nearby.

The area near Sahuarita is very beautiful. When looking for Sahuarita real estate you’ll need to work through a real estate agent that is familiar with the community. When you’re looking for an affordable home, this is a good place to start. The local market prices of homes are typically less than many of the other Tucson communities.

Situated in a valley area surrounded by mountains, the temperatures are quite nice. This makes the area very desirable. The location is also very scenic and is perfect for those who enjoy being close to nature. Yet, the average commute time to Tucson is under a half hour, making it a convenient place to live. The neighborhoods offer nice homes at reasonable prices. You can often find Sahuarita real estate at prices that easily fit into your budget.

When looking for Sahuarita real estate, check with a real estate agent. The agent will assist you in locating homes that fit your needs. You can often check the listings from your agent online before visiting them in person. Working with an agent will save you time by allowing you to look at properties that you are the most interested in. Determine your budget and make a list of the essential features that you need in your home. Check the local schools to find out the educational choices available. The area offers large homes at affordable prices, making the area a good option for families.

Do you know where to find commercial real estate listings? Please note that you are at the right place. On our listings you can all buy house cheap such as real estate apartments, beach houses etc. Have you ever come across a property or home owner who wants much money to be paid for the property? Welcome to the real world, it happens all the time to real estate experts. The question is would you like to see our listings or not? Do you take the listings or not? Will the customer reduce the cost to a more realistic level quickly so the listing does not stagnate on the market?

The pricing difficulty arises because most property owners think that they paid a good cost for the property and they want their money back plus an extra.

In their view time escalates the assets value (even if it is only a few years!). In their view prices do not go back when it comes to their wonderful assets. Well the conflicting is the case and prices do go backward for all sorts of reasons. The recent global monetary crisis in many countries has proven that.

Keep in mind that you do not have to list a property just because the client wants to list it with you or your agency. Protect your time and protect your status. Remember that an unsold property that is on the market for a long time will have impact on your reputation. It is better to be known for listing and selling a few good properties than listing lots of poor listings that are expensive

Before you take the expensive listing on there are a couple of considerations that you are required to make given that it’s your time that will be taken in the marketing of the expensive property.

Take into consideration these questions:
Would it be better to let some other mediators take the listing at the inflated price and waste their time?
Can you come in later after the other mediator has remained unsuccessful with the property, thereby allowing you to condition the seller to a more reasonable price?
Will the client lessen the price quickly and soon if enquiry is low?
What range will the client drop the price to if they are to make the property more commercial?
How long have you got the listing for and is it long enough to match the customer to the market?

My theory is that the customers are not always right when it comes to price and the way to challenge them on their price theory is to propose that they put the property up for sale at public sale. Tell the client that the public sale method is the best way to get the best price that exists in the market today.

If the client is serious on selling the property and if they think their property is as good as they make it out to be, then they will not be frightened of the public sale process. One final thing needs to be said and done here. The broker funded marketing campaigns are necessary and the money for that campaign has to be paid before you start the marketing.

There are two reasons for the improvement of the German real estate market. Firstly, the economic conditions have improved vastly and secondly the employment situation has done favorably well. Thus, Germany is one of the leading real estate markets that is on the upswing as compared with the international real estate market.

The German real estate prices for all types of apartments and real estate listings have buoyed due to economic factors that are positive. The German real estate for sale properties has increased during the third quarter of 2010. September marked the 9th consecutive increase in the value of the real estate in Germany.

As compared to the previous year 2009, the year 2010 has spelt success for the German real estate. In comparison with the rest of the international real estate listings, properties are moving fast in German real estate.

The prices for homes were up by 4.5% YOY in 2010. On an average the selling prices for the existing homes is 177,000 Euros. While the prices were the new homes and apartments have increased at a slightly lower rate of 3.9%. While the average price for the apartments in the German real estate market was 140,000 Euros. The price for new homes was roughly in the range of 232,000 Euros.

As per the last reports for the German real estate market that have come in, the prices in September were lower than the prices in July, but only marginally. It is expected that the German real estate market will do better in the coming months keeping in line with the recovery of the international real estate market.

The German real estate market was in the doldrums in the first half of 2009 as the international real estate market was crashing. In the second half of 2009, the market buoyed and the prices started increasing in the real estate market. The further rise in prices in 2010 was due to the exports that were done by Germany that had the support of the German government. Also rising mortgages and ongoing economic recovery helped the market to expand after it had considerably shrunk in 2009. The economic recovery of Germany is expected to be 3.5% in 2010, as opposed to the sharp contraction of around 5% that it saw in 2009.

Helping the German real estate market has also been the employment factor. This is the first time since 1992 that the unemployment levels have dropped below the 3 million mark in October this year. When the reunification of East and West Germany was completed in 2005, as many 5 million people were unemployed during that time.

The German rentals yield in the major cities such as Berlin, Frankfurt and Munich are comparatively less at 5%. While German investors enjoy a number of tax breaks, non German investors are less fortunate and have to pay many taxes.

When I talk to people about California real estate prices and what their opinion is of the market I get a few typical answers.

– The California market is going to be great in the long run.  It always goes up in value.

– California real estate is going to be great again, people will move here because it’s sunny.

– California is at the bottom of the market so it’s time to get in now!

The problem is that most people in California, heck, most people around the world obtain these types of opinions based on what someone else tells them or they are strictly emotionally based.  We all get information like that in one way shape or form but how do you know what is really going on and what is brainwashing.  You look at the data!  Well here is some of the information I see coming down the funnel to make California real estate prices drop once again.

(1) I speak to multiple real estate investors in California daily and they are telling me they can “feel” the pricing in the market declining.  The reason they feel this is because it is taking them 2.5 buyers to actually get a property closed, the comparable sales when they bought the property are different 3 – 6 months later when they are going to sell the property to the end buyer and appraisals are not coming back from the banks accurately. 

(2) In California we see the most option arm loans coming due through 2012.  Option arm loans are those loans that adjust after 3 – 5 years to the current market rate and continue to adjust going forward.  Things are great right now when the rates adjust lower than the 3 – 5 year fixed rates.  People will have lower rates and their payments will be lower.  However, when the U.S. government loses control over rates and the option arm loan rates rise, homeowner’s payments are going to skyrocket.  When that happens and the homeowners are already under water by $ 200,000 because their loan is greater than the market value of the home there are going to be massive strategic defaults.   That coupled with knowledge that the banks are stealing from the public, fraudulently signing foreclosure documents can be a receipt for disaster.

(3) Median income levels across the U.S. are not rising with inflation but are staying steady if not declining.  That means that people will have much less disposable income, and can afford less, as the middle class and poor are squeezed by the rising cost of living.  In states like California, the historical median house price to historical median income is 200%.  Right now the historical median house price is 300% of income which means prices have to come down to historical standards (a 30% drop) in order for them to become affordable.  The only reason the prices are still as high as they are is because of the governments’ quantitative easing programs and artificially keeping the rates low making them more affordable.  This is just another way to bail out the banks and have Americans pay more for a property than they are worth.

(4) 40% of the GDP comes from California, Texas, New York, Florida, and Illinois.  California accounts for 12% of GDP and has an unemployment rate above 12%, the third highest in the nation.  If these states lose more jobs, which is almost inevitable given how much financial trouble those states Municipalities are in, then the U.S. income will go down significantly hurting growth even further. 

(5) If you look at the California economy you will see major economic challenges.  The California municipality is way over leveraged and is close to going under.  There is over a $ 20 Billion dollar gap in the California budget, it’s an unfriendly business state, tax rates are rising, it’s a hugely volatile real estate market and it’s still over valued compared to the median income.

The point is to invest in markets that are undervalued, not overvalued if you plan on investing for the long run.  If you are flipping in California you had better get something at 65% of the market value in order to have the proper downside protection.  And unless you are a professional real estate investor with multiple contacts and can act extremely quickly (within hours) you will not be able to pick a property up in California for that type of price.  I personally invest in Memphis, Tennessee one of the most undervalued and affordable places to buy in the U.S.  It has great economic indicators and cash flows like crazy based on the amazing rent to price ratios there.

Invest where it makes financial and economic sense, not based on emotion.

The has become one of the most talked about issues within the U.S. From Bloomberg News to real estate bloggers, nearly everyone involved in the industry is publishing projections of how much further the market will decline before heading in an upward motion.

Everyone knows the real estate market has been hit with multiple knockdown punches. First came banking failures, followed by the bank bailout and sobering unemployment rates. Then came massive numbers of foreclosures which led to an explosion in personal bankruptcy petitions. Now, banks are sitting on billions of dollars worth of inventory valued at about half of its original worth.

No one seems to be certain of what will occur today, tomorrow or next week. Bloomberg News recently reported property values have fallen more than 30-percent and approximately one-third of properties currently on the market on in some phase of mortgage distress.

It is estimated that over 6 million property owners have lost their home to foreclosure. If unemployment rates continue to rise, mortgage providers project an additional 2 million homeowners will face foreclosure by the end of 2010. If these projections are correct, banks will hold title to over 8 million properties which will eventually need to be sold.

Real estate market experts believe housing prices will continue to decline as the amount of foreclosed inventory increases. Homeowners will be forced to further reduce the sale price of their home in order to compete with discounted prices of bank foreclosures. Many property owners are faced with the decision to enter into a short sale or deed in lieu of foreclosure agreement or simply walk away from a home they have resided in for years.

While real estate market projections appear to be all doom and gloom, opportunities still exist to buy a house with less-than-perfect-credit; find exceptional deals as a first time home buyer; or locate discounted real estate investment properties. The abundance of bank owned homes for sale has opened the door for buyers and investors to buy properties well below market value.

One popular program is Home Path Mortgage which offers a variety of Fannie Mae foreclosure real estate. Properties consist of both residential and commercial real estate, as well as vacant land. Prices range below $ 5000 to over $ 5 million.

The Fannie Mae Home Path program offers special financing options through multiple lenders. Buyers can buy real estate with low down payments of 3-percent; obtain down payment assistance from family, friends, or charitable organizations; receive flexible mortgage terms to keep home loan payments affordable; and obtain bad credit financing not available through conventional mortgage financiers.

The Neighborhood Stabilization Program offered through the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) offers grant money to home buyers and investors who purchase real estate in areas hit hard by foreclosure. Individuals interested in revitalizing communities can apply for NSP grants through local HUD agencies. Home buyers can apply for one NSP grant, while real estate investors can apply for up to five home buying grants.

Home buyers and investors should stay abreast of home buying options and real estate market trends in order to obtain the best deal. Buyers can track housing prices through real estate websites such as Zillow.com and Realtor.com. Buyers who pay attention to market trends can locate distressed real estate at discounted prices and remain informed of new home buying programs and government grants or tax credits.
