The Dealmaker (Matt Scott) brings you...
"Private Money Bootcamp - San Francisco "
Saturday, May 17, 2008 - Sunday, May 18, 2008
Find out how to fund all the houses, land, apartments, and commercial real estate you want to buy, build, or develop WITHOUT using banks, brokers, hard money lenders, commercial brokers or credit checks!
As a real estate investor or developer, you know that funding is your biggest obstacle to success in real estate. You've probably left several deals on the table in the last few years because you couldn't obtain funding or you were unable to negotiate suitable terms. Once you obtain a level of success in real estate it seems the lenders back off and if you move from investing in single-family homes and take the next step to new construction you will find that lenders become scarce. If you develop large tracts or waterfront property, you probably have been through the expensive process of paying commercial mortgage brokers $100,000 or more just to review your offering. If you're tired of dealing with conventional lenders, brokers, and hard money lenders, I have some very surprising news for you.
Read On to Find Out How You Can Get Funding for All the Deals You Want >>

structuring and trusts to hide ownership of our assets. But one
thing we fail to do is completely understand the first line of
defense... our insurance.

While at the beach last week, I carefully watched the news regarding the major lenders like CountryWide and Thornburg Mortgage. Since the change in liquidity for mortgages, there's an opportunity for savvy investors.
Everyone is talking about all the bargains to be found because of the rising number of foreclosures and the excess inventory. It's true that sellers are beginning to discount price and bargains are showing up. You can expect even larger discounts within the next 12 to 24 months. But today, I want to talk about another opportunity. The new opportunity is on the backend when you sell the property. Since all the lenders are turning off the tap, it's time you step up and offer financing to qualified buyers. Wait there more... |

As lenders are cutting off borrowers, Wall Street is cutting off lenders from the capital they need to continue making loans.
On Monday, American Home Mortgage Investment filed for bankruptcy protection. AHMI was not a sub-prime lender so the announcement on Monday surprised a lot of brokers. As more lenders are shutting down and the remaining lenders are tightening their underwriting standards.
