Mark Fitzpatrick Spending cuts, tax increases, or both? How's the debt ceiling debate going to work out?
11 June 2011 | 4 replies
This whole process can be two years long, and that's another major issue.Of course, all of this completely disregards monetary policy, which is equally important, if not moreso given the power of the Fed today and the relative gridlock thanks to partisan politics and general idiocy within the legislature.I would say that it's just my two cents, but I wrote enough to say about $12 trillion worth.
Daniel Bradshaw Can I advertise a house for sale that I just put under a purchase contract?
17 March 2013 | 24 replies
Hmmm, Mitch, your disclosure is totally meaningless, ALL sales contracts are subject to the seller providing good title, it's in the TREC.It is assumed and implied that the seller has merchantable title to property to sell it, my son may have an "equitable" interest to my property, it doesn't give him the right to adverties it for sale as he lacks the power of sale!

Rich Weese Is it still possible to get really RICH

They say maybe 1 to 2 years.I say give it a few more years and you will hit burn out if you don't scale back.A few years later they have left the business all together,scaled back and pace themselves,or are still teetering on burnout and are divorced,etc. with their life in shambles.My Uncle invented the Goof-Off cleaner.Became wealthy and then went through a really nasty divorce and money and power got to him for about 10 years after that.As he got older he finally changed and realized money wasn't everything just the experiences and memories in life that you cherish.Don't be a slave to money.Use it as a vehicle to reach your dreams in life but don't worship it because the true things you value will be gone if you do.

Andrea F. Portfolio lenders - for owner occupants only? (Georgia)
1 January 2014 | 6 replies
I was referred to a local who could help Georgia investors - basically I was asking for ways to leverage 4 rental houses (paid in cash) to further my purchasing power (cash out refi, portfolio loan, etc).Needless to say, he didn't have much to offer, but wondering if any others have found ways around this.Here is what he had to say:"Unfortunately, due to recent government structuring of income guidelines for Loan Originators/Mortgage Companies/Banks I am unable to offer any help or solutions.

Shanequa J. Pre-foreclosure: Taking over payments?
9 October 2011 | 16 replies
The "due on sale clause" is basically "a protection" for lenders.Back in, I think, in the '80s, mortgage interest rates "sky-rocketed" and what was happening, smart people were selling existing mortgages with lower rates.So for example a 30 year mortgage @ 5% relates to a $1,342.05 monthly payment.So if interest rates jumped-up to, let's say 12% in the 1980s, a new $250,000 30 year mortgage @12% would have a monthly payment of $2,571.53.Taking this fictitious example one can see just how powerful it would be in the '80s to sell a house right along with an existing 5% mortgage on it,vs.Selling the same house without an existing mortgage.
