I'm trying up predict the upset price on the foreclosure auction of a VA insured loan in Georgia and am not sure if I'm off base in my calculations.

When the crash came, I predicted on FB that by the time this was over, the Greeks would be kissing the whips of their financial overlords after each beating and congratulating each other on having the wisdom to submit to such masterful masters.

My niche is delinquent tax B and C properties in desirable areas with a predictable path of progress.Please reach out with your information and I’ll send a lInk to the presentation and/or set up a call.Time is of the essence!

I know you cannot predict everything but  just have mindset to do not give up and fight through it all and try to have back up plan if possible.

The downside to HELOCs is that they are adjustable rates and callable notes, they're not long term debt instruments, but they're very useful none the less. 

One reason I don't predict a major crash again well a few.. and why I think fence sitters may get a sore butt.is that so many of the NEW crop of landlords are better prepared than pre 08  they have more money into the deals they are far more educated.. the turn key business is far more mature and reliable than pre 08... so that helps those markets. financing has been locked in at historic lows 5 % and under long term money is ridiculously good.. also this crop of landlords had the best buying seasons ever coming out of 08 to 2011.. so asset values were reset to under replacement values and under by a long shot in some markets.. 

I predicted job and area menities were top fo the list, but maybe the sampling set Rice University didn't target the suburban area enough?

I can not predict the future, but....that has no chance of happening.

@Travis HowserTravis, mortgages backed by Fannie/Freddie are perhaps the best debt instrument in the world.  

This is only if all the usual expenses have been accounted for (purchase, taxes utilities, holding, closing, etc.) and your re-hab budget (+15%), plus the market being in the right place or will be soon enough (which is tough to predict).
