Hilton Head Properties Hires C.D. Peavy as Director of Acquisitions – Again
Dallas, TX (PRWEB) December 3, 2010
Hilton Head Properties announced today it has named C.D. Peavy as Director of AcquisitionsAgain! But CD will only be half of who he use to be in the Company.
I am excited to have CD join HHPs team again to head up our Acquisitions Department. CD joined the company in 2006 when the company had already experienced considerable expansion and so had CD laughed President / CEO Chase D. Fonteno, CD had grown to over 400 lbs and was experiencing some medical issues including diabetes when he left the company in mid-2008. He left for both personal reasons and our market was shrinking as the real estate investment market cooled. HHP has gone through massive sizing down and overhaul and mid-2010 we began growing again. CD contacted me about possibly coming on board again, so I agreed to meet him for lunch and I was shocked. I met a man I did not even initially recognize. CD was an energetic, younger looking man ready to take on the world again weighing less than I did when I was in high school! And his diabetes was entirely gone.
Chase Fonteno further remarked How could I turn him down? He knew the company, did fantastic deals for us for several years and now it is very cheap to take him to lunch!
I am excited to be with HHP and the Chase Fonteno team again stated C.D. Peavy, I feel like I have a new lease on life and look forward to assisting HHP get ready for its next growth and expansion period.
Hilton Head Properties experienced dramatic growth from 2004 through 2007. The President/CEO, Chase Fonteno took back control of the single family investment operation in late 2007 due to considerable internal and operational issues. In late 2007 through mid-2010 the company began to down size its operations considerably due in part to the economy and over-expansion. The reductions included reducing staff by over 80%, closing its Ft Worth, San Antonio and Houston offices and closing operations in Detroit and New Orleans. Additionally the company moved from its approx. 22,000sqft offices at 1401 Elm St. in Dallas, TX, to its new offices the penthouse of the Hartford Building at 400 N. St. Paul Street (14th floor), encompassing approx. 10,000sqft. The company is now beginning to acquire single and multi-family real estate investments again on a slower acquisition pace and outsourcing several of the internal operations, including mortgage management and property management.
C.D. Peavy has been a successful real estate investor for over 30 years. Prior to working for HHP in 2006-2008 and in addition to his active real estate investments. CD’s father and grandfather were also well know real estate investors in the Dallas area, eventually Peavy Road named after his grandfather.

Platinum Properties Investor Network Says Cyclical Bottom May be in Sight for Miami Real Estate Investors

Irvine, CA (PRWEB) November 15, 2011
Miami represents one of the most notorious bubble markets in the United States. According to Platinum Properties Investor Network, Miamis prodigious rise and precipitous decline have served as a warning sign for the potential disaster that can await income property investors attempting to time value bubble markets.
Miami is a unique market area since it is segmented between two distinctly different classes of properties. These two classes are single-family homes and high-rise condominiums. The importance of distinguishing between the two comes from the fact that high-rise condominiums bore the brunt of Miamis value free-fall while single-family homes are showing signs of stabilization. Platinum Properties Investor Network believes that investing in Miami condominiums is still problematic.
The collapse of values in Miami began in 2007 and continued through 2011, as properties were lost to foreclosure at record rates. Most of the value collapse in Miami was driven by the high-rise condominiums that came to exemplify the real estate bubble. For investors who purchased at the market highs, Miami has been a roller coaster ride of value destruction as leveraged losses escalated higher and higher. As 2011 comes to a close, many forecasts are indicating that Miami will begin approaching its bottom.
Upon hitting its cyclical bottom, it is likely that Miami will regress back toward a very modest rate of long-term appreciation. This process will be impacted by the release of foreclosure inventory that is being held by banks in the hopes that it can be introduced to the market after values have stabilized. There is a slight possibility that investors who buy into Miami at the right time can realize some value appreciation that comes from regression back to fundamentals off the cyclical value bottom. However, cash flow from properties in Miami is still quite low, relative to the current market values.
According to RealtyTrac, foreclosure filings rose in Florida, where 23,569 properties were reported in August, a 5 percent increase from July, but 59 percent below the level reported for August 2010, according to the latest RealtyTrac

Real Estate Expert Says Many Foreigners Are Buying Bargain Priced Bank Owned Properties In South Florida

Boca Raton, FL (PRWEB) November 22, 2011
Many media reports focus on scenarios of why the housing market will take a long time to recover or why the economy is going to get worse. Clearly the economy needs some improving. But according to Real Estate Expert Lex Levinrad, when you start looking at current real estate price changes in bargain priced bank owned properties a different picture emerges that is much more optimistic than many current media reports would have you believe.
The S&P CaseShiller Home Price Index that was released on October 25, 2011 shows that 16 out of 20 Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) had price increases. While still cautious about real estate prices Case-Shiller sees a modest glimmer of hope with these data. According to Case-Shiller the situation is improving albeit slowly.
Lex Levinrad, founder of the Distressed Real Estate Institute says that “Anyone reading these reports would assume that there is not too much interest in investing in U.S real estate”. According to Levinrad, while this might be the case in the more expensive price points where the buyer is largely dependent on being approved for a mortgage, the situation is entirely different when the market is lower priced bank owned properties that are priced at bargain prices below $ 100,000.
According to Levinrad, real estate investors that are buying bank owned houses every single day see a different picture than the one depicted in the media. “Our office is being flooded with emails and phone calls from foreign investors that are looking to cash in on the opportunity to buy cheap bank owned houses directly from the banks,” says Levinrad. “Prices in many of our local South Florida markets have turned and increased quite dramatically,” says Levinrad.
According to Levinrad, Canadian, Asian, European, Russian and South American investors are scrambling to buy as many cheap bank owned properties as they can get their hands on. “Our office is selling most of our houses to foreign nationals especially Canadians who seem to be gobbling up South Florida real estate at a pace that is unprecedented,” said Levinrad.
According to the National Association of Realtors, foreigners purchased nearly 8% of all homes sold in the 12 months ending in March 2011. That is a sobering statistic. One out of every twelve homes sold last year were purchased by foreigners. That represents a whopping $ 82 billion dollars worth of U.S real estate being purchased by foreign nationals. According to the National Association of Realtors report most of the foreign buyers were Canadian (31%), Asian (26%), European (24%) or South American (11%).
In what states are foreigners buying the most property? According to the National Association of Realtors Report, 31% of all purchases were in Florida which is almost three times as much as buyers in California (12%). Other states with a large amount of foreign buyers were Texas (9%) and Arizona (6%).
About Lex Levinrad:
Lex Levinrad has been a full time distressed real estate investor since 2003. He has been involved in buying, rehabbing, wholesaling, renting, and selling hundreds of houses in South Florida. Lex is the founder and CEO of the Distressed Real Estate Institute, which trains new real estate investors how to wholesale, fix and flip properties often with no money down.

How To Get Banks Accept Your Offers On Reo Properties
In today’s real estate market, most banks have more houses in their inventory than they can handle. The are the leading home seller in a market that has very few buyers.
To buy these properties, you must learn how to make offers that these banks will accept.
Here are some tips to help you buy properties from banks cheap.
1) Get pre-qualified
Any time you are buying properties from a bank, you must show proof of funds, either in cash or load pre-qualification.
This must be your first step because no bank will talk to you without it.
2) Get a good buyers agent
Most bank owned properties are listed in the MLS by a real estate agent. Your offer will have to go through this Realtor.
You therefore need to get a Real estate agent working for you to make an offer.
3) Do your due diligence
Most bank owned properties need little to no repair. You must do a good repair estimate. You will use these to negotiate a better buying price.
Some conservative comps will be necessary to negotiate a lower price.
4) Order an inspection
You must get this when buying bank owned property. Banks will rarely fix up houses, but will offer them at a discount when possible.
Put an inspection clause in your contract to get you covered.
Most likely, you will discover problems you were not aware of from the inspection. You will need these to get your offer price lower.
If your offer requires the bank to fix the property, it will be rejected. Your buying terms should be as is where is. Ensure your contract shows this. They will offer discounts based on needed repairs.
5) Other costs
If the home is in a community where there is a home owners association, make sure that all dues are paid up, and your fees will be prorated from the day you own the property. Fees and fines are common in foreclosure properties.
Ensure you get these fees credited at closing.
Similarly, make sure there are no back taxes owed. Make sure you receive a prorated credit at closing.
Lastly, make sure the utilities are paid up; you could be stuck with huge bills that were not cleared by previous owner. Make sure these are cleared.
6) You offer should be lower than asking price
Banks are ready to negotiate. Always offer lower than the asking price. Properties that have been sitting in the market for a while will be more discounted.
Avoid offering less than 90% of the asking price. And if your offer is not accepted, you can make a higher offer depending on the bank’s counter offer.
In order to run a successful real estate investing business, it is necessary to increase efficiency so you close more deals using less time, money and effort. Learn how you can automate real estate investing business from an interactive real estate investor website.
Are Foreigners Allowed to Own Philippine Real Estate Properties?
Article by Mark Villabane
While it is true that the Philippine laws restrict foreigners from buying and owning real estate properties in the Philippines, the constitution has stated certain exceptions allowing non-Filipinos to have their names written on authentic land titles in the country.
Under the following circumstances, foreigners are permitted to own even a piece of property in Philippines:
1. If the parent/s or any ancestor of the foreigner is a Filipino, and s/he was given a real estate property to inherit, the Philippine law will permit the transfer. The same principle applies to foreign spouses who inherit real estate properties from their deceased Filipino spouses.
2. The ownership of a Filipino over the real estate propertiess/he acquiredbefore migrating to other countries and changing citizenship will not be revoked. The right over the real properties will remain unless relinquished through selling or bequeathing.
3. For former Filipinos, buying a house and lot for sale in the Philippines – other than what they owned prior to their naturalization – is possible only if they retain their being a Filipino through dual citizenship.
4. Former natural-born Filipinos are also permitted to buy properties in the Philippines which will not exceed 5,000 square meters (urban) or 3 hectares (rural) provided that the property will be used for business or commercial properties only. In the event that the land property in Philippines which will be purchased is residential, it should not exceed 1,000 square meters (urban) or 1 hectare (rural).
5. By marrying a Filipino citizen, foreigners are granted the right to acquire real estate properties as long as the Filipino spouse retains his/her Filipino citizenship. This is a rule which is subjected to marriage settlements.
6. Any Philippine land ownership which happened prior to the abolishment of the 1935 Constitution cannot be rescinded. Foreigners keep their proprietorship of the Philippine land despite the changes in the law.
The law clearly implies that whatever is in the Philippines is owned and are rightfully for the Filipinos. But there is always an exception to any law; and in this case, there are exceptions. So in case foreigners would want to own La Union real estate, there are still chances to do so. However, it has to be kept in mind that circumventing the law is strictly prohibited.
However, it has to be understood that not all La Union properties for sale are worth the purchase. So in order to get things right, here are a few tips to consider in settling the deal in buying a property in Philippines:
1. Consider the location. A real estate property is considered in a good location if nearby are different establishments which are necessary for everyday living. It has to be near department stores, supermarkets, places of worship, schools, and hospitals so that if the need arises, you would not have a hard time finding the right amenities. 2. Make sure that the community is peaceful. It is a common knowledge that what you become is influenced by your community. So in finding a La Union house for sale, you have to consider the nature of your surroundings. It should have calm atmosphere and quiet surroundings.3. If buying a beach property for sale in La Union, make sure that the house is located close enough to the shores for easy access to the water; and far enough, in case of emergencies. 4. Houses for sale in the Philippines – particularly in La Union – should be in good condition, especially if it is second-hand. 5. If buying a newly developed house and lot, check whether the developer you’re buying it from is legitimate. Serious problems may arise if the land developer or agent is illegal. Thus, it is better to check from the local registry if the company or people you’re dealing with are good to be trusted. It may require a lot of legworks but it is better safe than sorry. To further prove the legality of your transaction, you can also ask for authentic copies of the title deed. In the event that you are buying second-hand properties, demand for an original copy of the Transfer Certificate Title, and check it on the Registry of Deeds.
It is important to consider the above-mentioned tips in purchasing La Union properties. After all, you are buying a home – and since you will be living in it, you deserve only the best.
How To Market Properties For Sale On Real Estate Investing
Whether you buy or sell houses, your real estate investing business must be driven by marketing that generates leads.
This article focuses on marketing properties that you have for sale and how to reach out to potential buyers and sell your houses fast.
Of course, the main assumption when you are marketing is that you have prepared the house for sale. Preparing your property could involve staging, clean-up and making sure potential buyers are attracted to the property.
You need to get a few things in place:
1) Get a real estate investing web site
You must have a stage for presenting your properties. This purpose is served by a good real estate investing website.
You can describe your house, present pictures and documents, all from your website. You can also present video virtual tours if you have any.
The staging platform for your properties is real estate investing website.
A good real estate investing website is recommended at the end of this article.
2) Build a buyers list
A buyers list comprises people in your local area who are looking to buy the houses you sell. Again, a good real estate investor website is necessary – it acts as the place to manage your buyers list and send out email messages to potential buyers.
3) Target your market
It is necessary to target your marketing to a geographical region. Most likely you will want to target the immediate neighborhood more aggressively than places farther away.
4) Put a human aspect in your message
Do not describe your house like a thing. Describe its unique features and how they appeal to the needs of the buyer.
Show a buyer how these features will help them. Instead of saying located near a school or park, say something like “your kids can walk to the nearby elementary school or play in the nearby park”.
You must appeal to the emotional psychology of potential buyers by highlighting benefits rather than features.
5) Target all marketing media
Target both old fashioned newspaper readers and people who search the internet for properties.
You must start by sending out the property to your buyers list. These people buy properties in your local market. You can easily get your buyers from this list.
Make sure you post your property in all marketing websites you know, including places like Craigslist, Kijiji, etc.
Make sure not to forget social networking media like Facebook, Twitter, etc.
Target your local newspapers, signs in front of your property, leaflets in your community bulletin boards, bandit signs if your city allows it.
And always make sure you send them to your website to view full property details. From your website, they can join your buyers list.
6) Review your marketing
Always have a way to determine the success or failure of your marketing and to change at a moment’s notice.
Remember marketing is a numbers game. Good luck selling your properties!
No matter what your real estate investing business model is, your real estate investing business can be more efficient so you spend less time, money and effort closing more deals. Learn how you can manage all aspects of real estate investing and automate your business from a real estate investor website that runs real estate investing.

Real Estate Properties: The big profits
Real estate is often termed as the safest investment avenue. In fact, real estate investments done with proper evaluation of the property (and its true value), can lead to good profits. This is one reason why some people pursue real estate investment as their full time job. The talks of real estate are generally focussed towards residential real estate; commercial real estate seems to take a back seat. However, commercial real estate too is a good option for investing in real estate. Commercial real estate includes a lot of different kinds of properties. Most people relate commercial real estate with only office complexes or factories/ industrial units. However, that is not all of commercial real estate. There is more to commercial real estate. Health care centers, retail structures and warehouse are all good examples of commercial real estate. Even residential properties like apartments (or any property that consists of more than four residential units) are considered commercial real estate. In fact, such commercial real estate is much in demand. So, is commercial real estate really profitable? Well, if it were not profitable I would not have been writing about commercial real estate at all. So, commercial real estate is profitable for sure. The only thing with commercial real estate is that recognising the opportunity is a bit difficult as compared to residential real estate. But commercial real estate profits can be real big (in fact, much bigger than you would expect from residential real estate of the same proportion). You could take up commercial real estate for either reselling after appreciation or for renting out to, say, retailers. The commercial real estate development is in fact treated as the first sign for growth of residential real estate. Once you know of the possibility of significant commercial growth in the region (either due to tax breaks or whatever), you should start evaluating the potential for appreciation in the prices of commercial real estate and then go for it quickly (as soon as you find a good deal). And you must really work towards getting a good deal. If you find that commercial real estate, e.g. land, is available in big chunks which are too expensive for you to buy, you could look at forming a small investor group (with your friends) and buy it together (and split the profits later). In some cases e.g. when a retail boom is expected in a region, you might find it profitable to buy a property that you can convert into a warehouse for the purpose of renting to small businesses.So commercial real estate presents a whole plethora of investing opportunities, you just need to grab it.
Real Estate Investing: Flipping Properties
A lot of people these days are preaching about the buying and holding method of gaining wealth with real estate. There indeed may come a time in your life or business when you’ll want to hang on to a piece of property, although you’ll only be interested in keeping certain types of property. If you’re just starting out, flipping a house may be an ideal way to get started.
Basically, there are three ways that you can flip a house, although each one has its own terms, motivation, and type of property. The first method is known as retailing. What this means, is that you buy a house in bad shape, do the repairs to fix it up, then turn around and sell it. There are a variety of houses in need of repairs out there, and several ways that you can quickly flip a house to net profit. All you need to know are the techniques that will get you the most money in the least amount of time.
The second way you can flip a house is though wholesaling. Wholesaling involves finding a home for sale then flipping it to an investor for a fast, yet small profit. To do this, you’ll need to know the real estate investors in your area, the types of homes that flip the best, and how to fund your property so you can flip it to them. If you live in a big area or a city, you’ll find that using the wholesaling method of flipping houses is actually easier to accomplish.
The third way to flip a house is by assigning the purchase. Using this method, you’ll commit to buy the house. Instead of closing the deal yourself, you’ll assign it to a real estate investor – of course for a small fee. The investor will take the contract over and close the purchase themselves – flipping the house. This can be very profitable, especially if you invest in the right home. You don’t need to have your contract worded any special way to be legal, although you will need to determine the assignment fee.
If you’re looking to break into the real estate market and make big bucks, you’ll need to learn all about flipping houses. Flipping houses is very profitable, especially once you have learned the basics. The first and third methods are the best, although they will both take quite a bit of work on your part. Restoring homes isn’t easy, and you’ll need to have a team qualified to handle any repairs. Assigning the purchase may be difficult when you first start out, although it will get easier with time. If you stay at it and do your best to make a profit – you’ll be an expert at flipping homes in no time at all.
