			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Retirement is meant to be one of the finest times of our lives. Sadly , lots of folks are sick prepared for retirement that they finish up in misery when they reached their twilight years. If you&#8217;re one of those folks that are worried about your retirement, you must hire a good retirement planner to help set up your retirement fund. With the help of a good retirement planner, you can massively increase you possibilities of living a comfy life during retirement.</p>
<p>Why should you hire a retirement planner to help set up your retirement fund when you are covered under the social security system? In fact, social security coverage isn&#8217;t truly enough to cover for all of your wishes during retirement. Yes, you can get some money from your social security when you retire but with the high cost of living today, that money may not truly be enough to keep you comfy during retirement. If you do not need to live in misery during retirement, you must set up your own retirement fund while you are still working.</p>
<p>There are a number of things that you need to consider before you hire a retirement planner. You must see to it that the planner is reliable and knows his/her field well. Note that there are a lot of people out there who profess to be good retirement planner when in reality, they do not really know a thing about it! Before you hire the services of a retirement planner, check out his or her resume. You may also call some of the former clients of that person to get their opinion about the kind of service that they got from this person. If the former clients of this are mostly satisfied with his or her services, then you have found the right person to help you do your retirement planning. On the other hand, if you get mixed opinions on the ability of the retirement planner to deliver good service, dig deeper into the track records of the planner before you decide on anything.</p>
<p>Another thing that you need to consider before hiring a retirement planner is personality. Since you will need to work closely with this person, you need to make sure that you like this person. Meet with the retirement planner in person at least once before you hire his or her services.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What are the issues with <strong>Buy &amp; Sell</strong> Signals?</p>
<p>How do we understand the best use of these signals with reference to a Moving Average System?</p>
<p>One of the main problems with using moving average crossovers as actionable signals is that stocks may move or &#8220;whipsaw&#8221; back and forth across their moving average.  It is therefore an advantage to wait for a good &#8220;setup&#8221; before acting in order to avoid being whipsawed in and out of the stock (and to avoid excessive trading commissions).</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Whipsawing occurs primarily when the stock is not trending.</span> Traders use other tools to identify non-trending situations early so they can switch to strategies that work better in non-trending environments.</p>
<p>Most traders who use moving average crossover systems consider any extra trades they might make to be the price one must pay to be positioned correctly when the stock finally stops whipsawing and begins to trend.</p>
<p>In general, traders consider the benefit of the strategy to be that it enables a trader to enter a position close to the beginning of a trend and to leave near the end of the trend.  Some traders reduce the number of &#8220;false signals&#8221; by using the move of a short-term moving average across a longer-term moving average as the signal mechanism rather than the crossover by a stock’s price.</p>
<p>A 5-day moving average is less likely to whipsaw back and forth over a 50-day moving average than is the closing price of the stock.  Traders use combinations of moving averages (like 5 and 30, 5 and 50, 20 and 200, 10 and 100 and many others) based on how active they want to be as traders. The longer the moving average, the better established the trend it represents and the less likely it is to be generating a false signal.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">On the other hand, longer moving averages give up more of the profit potential of a trade because they are slower in generating their signals.</span></p>
<p>There are tradeoffs here that only the individual trader can resolve through experience.   Remember that the rising trend of an undervalued stock is more likely to be sustained (less likely to break down) than the trend of an overpriced stock.</p>
<p><strong>Price relative to earnings </strong>(PE or PE-ratio), sales (PSR or Price per Sales Ratio), and <strong>earnings rate-of-growth</strong> (PEG or PEG ratio) are among the factors that give fuel to the momentum of a trend.  Sometimes investor psychology does too, but trends based on psychology alone are more apt to undergo unexpected reversals.</p>
<p>The following rules pertain to moving average resistances, supports, and crossovers.</p>
<ul>
<li>Traders have tested both exponential and simple moving averages and have found that a simple moving average is preferable to an exponential moving average.  This is information you are not likely to find in the media where the common perception is that the faster exponential moving average is to be preferred.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The longer the moving average, the more reliable these rules tend to be.  Many investors strictly adhere to the following moving average rules. However, we make no recommendations to buy or sell any specific stock.1. If the moving average line flattens out after a significant decline, or has begun to rise, and the price of the stock passes upward through the moving average line, it is considered to be a buy signal. The same holds true if the moving average flattens out or rises after the stock has passed upward through the moving average line.2. If the moving average is still rising aggressively and the price of the stock falls below the moving average, this is considered to be a buying opportunity.
<p>3. If the stock price is above the moving average, declines to the moving average but fails to go through it and starts to turn up again, this is a buy signal.</p>
<p>4. If the moving average is declining and the stock price falls under it too fast, it is likely to return to the moving average. The stock can be bought to profit from this short-term snap-back. It is generally best to wait for some sign that the downward momentum is abating or that it has actually reversed before the purchase.</p>
<p>5. If the moving average has been rising and then it flattens out, or if it is declining, and the price of the stock passes down through the moving average, it is considered to be a sell signal. The same thing holds true if the flattening out of the moving average or its decline occurs after the stock has passed downward through the moving average.</p>
<p>6. If, while the moving average is falling, the price of the stock rises above the moving average, this is also an opportunity to sell at a good price before the stock resumes its decline.</p>
<p>7. If the stock price rises toward a moving average from below, but fails to go through it and starts to turn down again, the resistance offered by the moving average is too strong for the stock and it is a sell signal.</li>
</ul>
<p>8. If the stock price moves rapidly above the rising moving average line too fast, it is likely to have a reaction move back toward the moving average and the stock can be sold for a short-term technical reaction. It is generally best to wait for some sign that the upward momentum is abating or that it has actually reversed before the sale.</p>
<p><strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">It is wise to use more than a moving average to define buy and sell points.  <strong>Shrewd investors learn to use a variety of indicators in concert.   It is also helpful if the stock’s fundamentals are in alignment with the signal generated.</strong></span></em></strong></p>
<p>For example, if the stock has given a buy signal, it is a big advantage if the stock is also undervalued. Following a discipline adds clarity and purpose to an individual&#8217;s trading.  It also enhances a person&#8217;s resolve when emotions run amok and the circumstances create confusion and indecision.</p>
<p>Since the financial markets have been turned up-side down and banks are not lending, one method of financing has gained a lot of attention – securities based lending.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In today&#8217;s current financial crisis, securities lending / stock loans are being utilized more and more to raise capital for individuals and companies.  Therefore, it is important for you to have a trusted authority for this type of &#8220;non-recourse&#8221; lending.</p>
<p>Choose a lender who has a proven track record in providing world-class customer service to their clients.  Choose a lender who is supported by a national network of loan professionals and other financial, legal, and research support personnel.</p>
<p>Choose a Full-Service Securities Lender who offers 100% Non-Recourse / Non-Purpose Loans, based upon stocks &amp; other securities which can be used for both personal or business purposes.</p>
<p>Securities Lending is a long-established process.  Collectively, hundreds of successful stock-lending transactions which have been executed involving the American Stock Exchange (AMEX), National Stock Market and Small Cap Stock Market (NASDAQ), New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB), and certain foreign exchanges.</p>
<p>This is NOT the same as getting a &#8220;Margin Loan&#8221; with your securities broker.  Generally, margin loans will not give you as much money against your stocks as private securities lending.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.iconcl.com/" target="_self">Click here for information about Non-Purpose, Non-Recourse Loans</a></strong></p>
<p>For those with money invested in actively traded<strong> </strong>securities, there is a golden opportunity to cash-in on the tremendous RE investment opportunities now available.  Today, there are multiple commercial &amp; residential RE properties available for about 30% to 50% of what they were only two years ago.</p>
<p>Stock loans can be used to purchase RE or any other use – these are non-purpose / non-recourse loans.</p>
<p>For example, CEOs, CFOs or COOs, with large publically traded companies, who have large blocks of Corporate can leverage those assets to take advantage of investment opportunities.</p>
<p>This lending program is designed for a forward-thinking investor who wants to retain the future ownership of their assets as well as leverage the present value of their securities for immediate cash needs.</p>
<p>These loans are –</p>
<p><strong>Simple &amp; Quick – NO Credit Check / NO Income Verification</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Since the mortgage melt-down, lenders across America have mostly doing away with Stated Super Jumbo Seconds.  There is no longer a secondary market to purchase this type of loan.</p>
<p>The sub-prime meltdown actually began in December 2006, when lenders did away with stated 100% investor loans and it has gone much, much further since then.</p>
<p>Estimated losses due to foreclosure of Adjustable Rate Mortgages actually adjusting this year and next year are in the billions, if not trillions, and lenders are responding by removing products from their portfolios.</p>
<p>Like anything else, the mortgage market is driven by supply and demand, and the supply actually comes from Wall Street Banks who are willing to buy closed loans from Mortgage Lenders.  Previously, Wall Street had a seemingly insatiable appetite for sub-prime loans, “alt A” loans, and jumbo loans. (The press has combined everything that isn&#8217;t “A Paper” into the heading sub-prime, when actually sub-prime loans are loans with substandard credit, not non-conforming agency loans.)</p>
<p>Alt A Loans are loans that are A Paper loans, but with alternative documentation &#8211; stated income, stated asset, no doc, etc and therefore don’t meet Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac ‘s conforming loan underwriting standards.</p>
<p>And obviously Jumbos, Super Jumbos and Mega Jumbos could be prime, sub-prime or alt a loans, as far as the credit rating is concerned, and the documentation likewise could be any level.</p>
<p>The press and Capital Hill with their multiple legislation attempts have all lumped together any loan that is not fully documented, conventional loan limits and a plain vanilla 30 year fixed rate into the now hated &#8220;sub-prime&#8221; category.  Neither the press nor the legislators have the time or inclination to learn the vagaries of the mortgage business and do their jobs &#8220;on the fly&#8221; as it were, and so, there is bad information and misinformation flying everywhere.</p>
<p>With the losses Wall Street Banks are experiencing in foreclosures of all kinds, they&#8217;ve lost their appetite for anything other than strictly “A Paper” loans. They aren&#8217;t buying much, and so, the supply of money for mortgages has gone to an historical low.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.iconcl.com/" target="_self">Click here for information about Non-Purpose, Non-Recourse Loans</a></strong></p>
<p>Stated owner occupied loans for purchases and refinances are topped at 90% LTV; stated investor loans for purchases and refinances are also topped at 90%, and credit score requirements s for everything have gone up to levels previously regarded as pristine. That is, of course if your home is not a multi-million dollar purchase or refinance and then you are really looking at 65% to 70% max.</p>
<p>Estimates for the duration of this dearth of funds range from six months to two years. With the programs available for refinances, and talked about to become available for refinances, to the rational mind, it seems that this shouldn&#8217;t last forever. The strange thing is that borrowers who are in trouble don&#8217;t seem to be trying to do anything about their foreclosures because the numbers just keep getting larger every month.</p>
<p>FHA Secure for instance will allow a refinance of a mortgage already in default, with no regard for the late payments if they occurred after the loan&#8217;s interest rate adjusted.</p>
<p>The FHA is, in my opinion, the sub-prime loan of choice &#8211; the rates are as good as, conventional interest rates, and when that is combined with the fact that they IGNORE late payments, I would think people would be clamoring for those loans.</p>
<p>Additionally, if the value of a house has gone down during this market turbulence, and the property was originally bought with a first and a second, they will allow the second to stay, even if the LTV goes over 100%.</p>
<p><strong>Fannie Mae</strong> and <strong>Freddie Mac</strong> are considering raising conforming loan limits above the $417,000 maximum presently allowed in order to assist borrowers in California (where less than $417K doesn&#8217;t get you much of a home).  While this was regarded as a probability earlier on, it seems to have lost steam lately.</p>
<p>And finally, there is the possibility of a work out arrangement with the lender to whom one is late. While it may not be the perfect arrangement because at this point in time the fees allowable on forbearance workarounds are still very high, there is legislation pending that will limit the amount mortgage companies can actually charge for late fees, payoffs, forbearance, etc.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re buying one of those million dollar bargains, be prepared to appear at the closing table with big bucks.  If you&#8217;re interested in refinancing your ARM, Get BUSY.  Opportunities abound, and the country is going to be in trouble if they aren&#8217;t refinanced.</p>
<p>For those with money invested in marketable securities, there is a golden opportunity to cash-in on the tremendous RE investment opportunities now available.  Today, there are multiple commercial &amp; residential RE properties available for about 30% to 50% of what they were only two years ago.</p>
<p>For example, CEOs, CFOs or COOs, with large publically traded companies, who have large blocks of Corporate stock or other marketable securities can leverage those assets to take advantage of investment opportunities.  If you are a forward-thinking investor who wants to retain the future ownership of your assets as well as leverage the present value of your securities for immediate cash needs, this can be a terrific program.</p>
<p>These loans are –</p>
<p>·         <strong>Simple &amp; Quick – NO Credit Check / NO Income Verification</strong></p>
<p><strong> NO Upfront Fees / NO Closing Costs / NO Personal Guarantee </strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the greatest challenges in management today is to persuade people to change their level of productivity. As humans we are a product of our normal behavior. Our habitual behavior is pretty much fixed and permanent change is very difficult to achieve.</p>
<p>Try thinking about this from the point of view as either a manager or a supervisor and you want to increase the productivity of your team. Before you even try this, learn a bit about why people do things the way they do. After all, if you increase productivity there has to be a change. Managing and leading change is not always easy. However, the more you understand about why people have difficulty changing, the better you are able to lead the change.</p>
<p>Look at yourself, you go to the same shops, you go to the same gas station, watch the same TV programs and probably get dressed in the same order every day. It&#8217;s almost like we need this pattern of behavior to give us a routine, some sort of stability, a way of doing things which does not require any thought.</p>
<p>When we translate that behavior to the workplace, or we run into problems because some people do things that we don&#8217;t want them to do. This is where we need to use techniques that involve influence and persuasion. Then we are faced with another problem. People will agree that they need to do things differently but find great difficulty in changing themselves.</p>
<p>The difficulty is caused by the way our brains operate. All our previous behavior creates behavioral patterns and our brain is wired to do exactly what we have done in the past. So much so, that if we know the way a person has behaved in the past we can almost guarantee that we can predict future behavior. It is that strong.</p>
<p>The latest research indicates that it takes around about five days to form a new habit provided it is repeated daily. These studies have considerable implications in the workplace. It means there is a possibility that workplace behavior can be changed through coaching and repetition in a short time. Originally, it was thought that the new habit takes 21 days to change.</p>
<p>Creating a new habit does not mean that the old habit has been cancelled. What it means that this choice is part of your everyday decision-making and it is tempting to shift back to old ways. Our old, strong, neural pathways are a powerful magnet for us to return to our old behavior.</p>
<p>To overcome the attraction of the old neural pathways we must consciously and intentionally repeat new behavior time after time and day after day until it can compete. This is why coaching on-the-job is so successful. For a manager or a supervisor, the key to successful change is the ability to coach your team daily to reinforce new habits of behavior.</p>
<p>To make a change in behavior requires an enormous initial effort because first of all we have to create new neural pathways in the brain and then fight off the temptation to return to old patterns of behavior. Once we have created the new neural pathways we have to strengthen them through regular usage and continual reinforcement.</p>
<p>To increase productivity requires change. It is strongly advised that you plan the change before you try and install it and develop your coaching skills.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>No matter how many hours you work, it’s the productive hours that truly matter.  In addition to the obvious financial rewards, more production generally means better performance for the individual.  The goal, then, is to get more done.</p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;"> There are three (3) ways to increase the </span><span style="color: #800000;">productivity</span><span style="color: #800000;">:</span></p>
<p>(1) improved skills,</p>
<p>(2) increased leverage of others, and</p>
<p>(3) better use of the hours you&#8217;re working.</p>
<p>The first and second come with experience.  The third will immediately produce results in hours gained.  For discussion purposes, let’s break this down and look at this in “tenths of an hour”.</p>
<p>0.1 (hours) x 5 (days/week) x 45 (workweeks/year) = 24 extra productive hours</p>
<p>In other words, if you can improve your productivity by six minutes per day, you will do 24 more hours of work per year.  That’s three full days!</p>
<p>Here are ways to gain more productive hours in the day, six minutes at a time.</p>
<p><strong>Managing E-mail </strong></p>
<p><strong> Email</strong> is a terrific tool &amp; killer application that was ushered in with the Internet era, but this can be a huge time sink.  To gain valuable minutes throughout the day, fine-tune your use of e-mail by taking the following steps.</p>
<p>1.  Turn off new message notifications.</p>
<p>These notifications are a huge distraction because they create internal noise:   What am I missing?  Oh, not another thing to do!  Or worse, you instantly stop to look at the new message and lose focus on whatever else you’re doing.  E-mail is an one-way communication tool.  You do not need to know every time a message hits your inbox.  It isn’t going anywhere!  Simply triage your e-mail regularly (twice an hour or so) to stay abreast of what’s happening.</p>
<p>2.  Remove your work address from personal lists.</p>
<p>Keep your inbox tidy and uncluttered to reduce the time wasted culling through it. Get rid of automatic feeds about the local weather report, the special of the day at your favorite online retailer, and the scores in the day’s sports events.</p>
<p>3.  Get off unnecessary professional and interoffice lists.</p>
<p>These also represent a distraction from your work.  Draft a polite, professional      e-mail to the list manager asking to be removed if it’s not imperative that you receive certain e-mails.  Likewise, unsubscribe from e-publications you don’t read. Most professional purveyors provide a simple Unsubscribe mechanism for this.  Take advantage of it.  You can always re-subscribe later if you find it necessary.</p>
<p>4.  Spot review your inbox from home.</p>
<p>Yes, you’re working away from the office after hours, but this is the new professional landscape.  If you can quickly reply to simple requests and handle just a few small items in the evening, then in the morning, they’ll be on someone else’s desk and not yours.</p>
<p><strong>Sequestering </strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
It’s not just for juries, you know.  The idea is to find a place or process that provides you with uninterrupted time to get top-priority work done.  This doesn’t mean holing up all day, or leaving the country.  You’re looking for a defined period each day or week &#8211; say one to two hours &#8211; when you are able to focus on the tasks of highest concern.  Here are some specifics.</p>
<p>1.  Privatize your office.</p>
<p>Close your door and put your phone on “Do Not Disturb”.  If people continue to interrupt you, put a DND sign on your door.  You can make it light-hearted, such as “Great Mind at Work, Please Don’t Knock” or “Out to Work, Back at X:XX Clock”, but make it clear.</p>
<p>2.  Establish a secondary workplace.  If your company has an unoccupied or unassigned office, go there.  If the company or office building has a small conference or caucus room, go there.  Any empty office space will do.  Take only the things you’re going to work on, and sit down and do them.</p>
<p>3.  Try some one-hour telecommuting.</p>
<p>Consider coming in late or going home early to gain quiet work time one day a week.  But remember, if you’re going to do this, you must genuinely commit to getting the work done.  Any temptation to dally will undermine your objective of increasing performance, so be very careful.</p>
<p>4.  Learn how to say, No.</p>
<p>Inevitably, you will still be hunted down or interrupted on many occasions.  This is when it is imperative that you politely but unmistakably explain that you’re not currently available and you’ll get back to the person posthaste when you are. It’s an opportunity to retrain those you work with or those you are enlisting help from to increase your productivity.</p>
<p><strong>Upgrade Your </strong><strong>Work Space</strong><strong> </strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
There are a number of things you can do to improve the productivity of your physical work space.  Most are very simple to implement, but each will pay a large productivity dividend.</p>
<p>1.  Do not face the door.</p>
<p>Reposition your desk so you are not facing the open door.  The problem with facing the door is that you tend to look up whenever someone passes by.  That’s becomes a constant mini-interruption and it’s completely unnecessary.  Worse, the person walking by may catch you eye and stop to chat!</p>
<p>2.  Identify a designated work area.</p>
<p>Pick one area on your desktop – your computer table or desk return as your designated work area.  This area should be devoid of ALL other working materials. Each file and pile in the vicinity of your designated work area is another distraction. This way, you’ll keep yourself from thinking – Oh, I’ve got to do that, and Oh, I’ve got to do that too!  Keep the designated work area free of those self-inflicted distractions.</p>
<p>3.  Create a filing system for open projects.</p>
<p>Most people use the stacks and piles model for keeping track of what needs to be done.  These seemingly innocuous papers are either neatly or not-so-neatly scattered about the office.  A well organized filing system is easy to maintain and a much more efficient workflow method.  Every minute spent digging around in the piles is a lost minute of productivity.</p>
<p>Implementing some or all of these suggestions will definitely increase your productivity.  Better productivity will improve your effectiveness and sense of accomplishment.  In turn, your increased accomplishment will produce greater career satisfaction.</p>
<p>Also, be more productive with your time dealing with financial matters.  Checking out the following links may prove very useful to you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When homeowners or their legal advocates are performing research on a mortgage, there are numerous documents that may help inform their case against a mortgage company.</p>
<p>These can include mortgage documents, information available in the public record, and other information found through fighting a lawsuit in the courts. Thus, borrowers should be aware of these various categories of documents and how they can help in defending a home.</p>
<p>The original mortgage documents are the most important in defending against a bank&#8217;s foreclosure attempt. If there are any mistakes or fraudulent aspects discovered in these, the entire loan may be invalidated or a court-ordered loan modification plan may be put into place.</p>
<p>It is estimated that over 85% of all residential mortgages funded over the past 7 years are non-compliant or fraudulent.  Signs of abusive lending or clauses that may provide remedies to foreclosure should be searched for by the borrowers.  A Forensic Loan Audit will best determine if a loan is non-compliant.</p>
<p>There are five documents that homeowners may wish to consider the most important when they are searching for the original paperwork. These are the following:</p>
<p>- HUD-1 Settlement Statement</p>
<p>- Truth in Lending disclosure and Rescission Notice</p>
<p>- Note for the loan</p>
<p>- Deed of Trust or Mortgage</p>
<p>- Appraisal</p>
<p>If a mortgage servicing company is involved in the collection of the payments on a monthly basis and responsible for the foreclosure process, homeowners should begin collecting documents related to the servicing. Servicer abuse is rampant, as the entire industry was set up from the beginning to prey upon homeowners and reward corrupt or fraudulent companies for pushing people into foreclosure.</p>
<p>There are several documents that homeowners should attempt to obtain from servicers and compare with their own copies of documents and calculations.</p>
<p>- Payoff Statement</p>
<p>- Complete payment history</p>
<p>- Contact history and notes on the account</p>
<p>- Disclosure of current owner of underlying loan</p>
<p>- Servicing transfer notice(s)</p>
<p>- Pooling and Servicing Agreement (PSA)</p>
<p>After obtaining the documents from the original lending transaction and relevant information from the servicing company, homeowners should begin to look into public records. The bank, its attorneys, and any potential bidders will examine public records to find out as much as possible about the owners and the property. Borrowers should do the same to research the lender, servicer, and owner of the loan.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.iconcl.com/" target="_self"><strong><em>Click here for information about Non-Purpose, Non-Recourse Loans</em></strong></a></p>
<p>Searching public records can present endless sources of information for homeowners in researching mortgage companies. Just a few ideas are listed here:</p>
<p>- Land records from the county recorder</p>
<p>- Securities and Exchange Commission documents</p>
<p>- Complaints against companies with regulatory agencies</p>
<p>- Record of company through Better Business Bureau and other advocacy groups</p>
<p>- Records of other lawsuits the bank has been involved in</p>
<p>- General internet searches</p>
<p>- Corporate documents and accounting statements</p>
<p>Before going into court, these documents can help homeowners begin to build a decent case for why a foreclosure should not allowed to go through. There are also numerous other documents that can be obtained in the discovery process in court, which will be covered in a later article. The types of documents and the purposes for each in the defense of the home present vast potential for homeowners trying to stop foreclosure.</p>
<p>Just like lenders examine borrowers&#8217; records to determine if they will qualify for a loan, homeowners should go through the exact same series of steps to determine if a bank has a legitimate right to foreclose or not. In many cases, they may uncover enough irregularities in the loan to force the bank into a mortgage modification or, if that is not offered or appropriate, have the entire foreclosure lawsuit dismissed out of court.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>According to bulk reo expert Salvatore Buscemi, Bulk REO Investing is proving to be one of the most lucrative fields of investment during 2009 and beyond. Bulk REO Investors profit by purchasing groups (commonly called “portfolios”) of properties from lenders who have repossessed the properties and have urgent need to release pressure from their balance sheets. Due to the urgency of the balance sheet needs of the financial institutions coupled with the investor’s ability to buy a package of REO properties rather than individual properties, it’s frequently possible for a well-capitalized bulk reo investor to acquire REO packages at extremely attractive prices.</p>
<p>To get the full details, I chatted with Salvatore Buscemi of New York-based distressed asset hedge fund Dandrew Capital Partners.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.iconcl.com/" target="_self"><strong><em>Click here for information about Non-Purpose, Non-Recourse Loans</em></strong></a></p>
<p>“Dandrew Capital works by making offers to financial institutions on the basis of a percentage of unpaid principal balance. This means that if we make an offer of 60 cents on the dollar for a package of mortgages with a remainder of ,000,000 in principal balance, then we’ll pay ,800,000 to acquire that package” says Buscemi. There are probably few people who are better positioned for the present economic downturn than Salvatore Buscemi and Dandrew Capital Partners. “Several years ago, everyone in the financial world thought that there would be no end to the booming real estate market. That made it very challenging for us, since we began marketing our distressed real estate asset fund before the real estate market began to fall apart.”</p>
<p>But Buscemi is obviously on the right side of the market trends. “Clearly, our strategy has been vindicated. Our fund is fully subscribed and we have plans for starting another fund exclusively for foreign investors.</p>
<p>What is particularly interesting about the way Dandrew Capital monetizes their property investments. “At the conclusion of our reo portfolio transactions, we own multiple properties which must then be monetized to bring a return to our fund. To do this, we resell our properties to retail home buyers via seller financing. By cutting traditional lenders out of our transactions, we are able to sell our properties quickly and at very attractive terms” says Buscemi.</p>
<p>The future seems quite bright for astute Bulk REO investors.</p>
