Homebuyer Tax Credit Returning??

DSNews.com – Homebuyer’s tax credit coming back?

After a worse than expected falloff in home sales during the month of July, buzz about a possible revival of the federal homebuyer tax credit has begun to surface.  The National Association of Realtors (NAR) reported last week that sales of previously owned homes plummeted 27 percent in July, hitting their lowest mark in 15 years. New home sales also took a dive, dropping nearly 13 percent from June to July.  Both reports were clear indications of the frailty of the housing market post-stimulus. Although, the steep declines were actually considered a by-product of the tax credits themselves, which expired on April 30 – payback for the incentives that pulled sales forward into the spring months.
HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan said on CNN’s “State of the Union” program this weekend, “The July numbers were worse than we expected, worse than the general market expected, and we are concerned. That’s why we are taking additional steps to move forward.  Donovan said it was too early to say for sure, after only one month’s numbers, whether the administration would revive its popular homebuyer tax credits to give the housing markets another much-needed boost, but he didn’t wholly rule it out as an option.  “All I can tell you is that we are watching very carefully,” Donovan told CNN. “We’re going to be focused like a laser on where the housing market is moving going forward, and we are going to go everywhere we can to make sure this market stabilizes and recovers.”  Two U.S. Senate candidates from Florida, one of the hardest hit states by the housing downturn, spoke out in favor of bringing back the federal tax credits for homebuyers on the CNN program.

How to find people - The top ten ways to find someone online

Whats really good with my investor savvy member community and stray visitors? I have another basic but definitely important article for you to check out. I hope you been keepin up with me. I been on the move but thats what you have to do if you really wanna make it happen. You either Networkin or Notworkin. Which one are you? ...Enough Said....

I posted this because when I find a vacant house I need to find that owner ASAP!! So here is a few tips. May not be the best but hey, it will get you started, you just mix and match and do what you do...Just never quit until you hit paydirt. Hope you Enjoy!

Edit Article |

1.Google

By far the best way people finder on the internet, it's been around so long, it contains so much – how can it not be the very best people resource tool out there? Look at the facts, if you've had anything written about you online Google knows about it. The secret to finding people on Google is to use the quotation marks around the name of the person and then round the location i.e. "John Stevens" "London" by doing this you are greatly improving your chances of finding the person, remember to press the Cached button to get to the section of the webpage that is most relevant to your search. You can also search by their hobby i.e. "John Stevens" "Model Railways" this can get you to the correct person just as easily as their location. Finally remember the more popular the name the smaller the location area will have to be.

2.Facebook

It used to be Bebo and MySpace but those places must be like graveyards compared to what they used to be like, everyone is on Facebook now and it looks like it's here to stay. Finding people on Facebook is easy, you can try and search directly for them and if that doesn't work you can search for their friends to get to them, best of all its free to register and to contact people, an easy and fun way to find your old friends and see what they are doing now. People also upload their photos and usually where they work and who their other friends are so you can find out a lot of information regarding people from their Facebook accounts.

3. Friends Reunited

Not as popular as it used to be (see above) but still a fantastic way to find people and even better it is now free to do so, they will never capture the spirit of 10 years ago when it was one of the biggest websites in the world but still, you should be able to find your old school chums on Friends reunited and not only that you should be able to email them. Even if they don't check the site very often (many people don't) they should receive an email to say someone has tried to contact them so it is still in the top three people finders according to findermonkey.co.uk staff.

4. Twitter

Twitter is good for finding people and every so often they tell you a bit about what they are doing and similar to Facebook a lot of people have a photo of themselves on there. How long till Twitter is no.1 on this list is anyone's guess but had anyone even heard of this micro blogging site three years ago? This is still an excellent source for finding people for free.

5. 123People

We're slipping down the list a bit here as this is a good way to find people online but it does have some drawbacks, the primary one is although it has a US and UK option it does seem to merge the two together so you do get a lot of results that are not relevant. It does have some email addresses though so it is certainly worth using, you may just get lucky and that is a big part of finding people online.

6. The Electoral Roll

An electoral roll search is still a great way to find people but it's just not as good as it once was. Back in 2003 the electoral roll was unedited, now it has an opt out option and people are doing so in their millions. In 2003 there were 44 million records on the Electoral Roll in 2010 this had dropped to 14 million. Along with the above options it is still a great way to locate someone and if you use the correct company you can find one that not only searches the current electoral roll but also the last available unedited version too as well as the ones in between.

7. Ancestry.co.uk

Ok so generally this is used to work on the family tree stuff but you can access birth and marriage certificates through this site so if you are going down the Sherlock Holmes route of people finding and doing some serious digging then this might just be the site for you. It is rather expensive but they do have a large achieve of information and some of it could be what you need to break through your people finder case. A bit specialist? Maybe but a great people resource anyway.

8. The National Archives

Again this is a specialist tool but one that we use very often, it is easy to use and can bring up some really interesting stuff, this is more suited to finding out information relating to land and people rather than old friends and school chums but we thought we would add some more specialist people finder tools rather than the usual ones. This site is used on a regular basis by all findermonkey.co.uk staff.

9. BT Phone book

The old ones are the best ones! And this is no different, now available on-line for free. You can search through people's names and their location to see if it brings up their telephone number. If you are ringing round to see if one of the matches is your old friend, just make sure you use some common courtesy when doing so, it sounds obvious but some people will be rude to you, it's not worth getting involved with them. Just thank them for their time and move on, the next person you ring might be your long lost friend.

10. Other resources

There are plenty of resources available to help you locate people such as our people search blog findermonkey.co.uk/blog/ or people search-uk. Just keep your eyes peeled for the best ones and if you want to add to this list feel free to do so.

Good luck with your people finding.

Peace!!

Whats up Dealmakers,

Its been Hectic fine people! Been so busy working on these deals I havnt had a chance to update you on the happenings. My bad. I know, I know. Dont crucify the kid before you receive your blessings though. That would be dumb, duh-dumb-dumb and that you are not.
Lets see, Closing on a 4plex deal here in the next week. Looking at another 14 house deal which I am going to run a transitional housing facility from. 28 rooms, 2 people to a room. $113/day/person, can you say ch-ching. Come on say it with me my fiend..CH-CHING!!
I just wanted you to get it out your mouth so maybe you would see some of the possibilities with some of the deals you see on the market but dont know how to possibly maximize the cashflow on it.
Well, I have a private consultant I work with that is helping me with all the guidance and connections to do this Transitional housing thing so here is a tip for you. If you have a 4, 5 or even 6 bedroom house you can get a good deal on or even takeover subject existing finance, consider making it into a emergency shelter, a group home or transitional home. The state pays great money for these services as you are providing a great service to some very needy people and many times people that are really just tryin to get back on their feet from a tough situation. Of course it has its challenges, pros and cons but ask yourself, does the risk outweigh the rewards or vice versa. In a 5 bedroom house, if you lived in the master an managed emergency shelter out of the other 4 rooms with 2 people in each room, thats $27000 a month in gross income!! Even if your mortgage was $2k/mo not including all your other housing and business expenses, you would still be clearing close to $20k a month. Thats incredible money from just 1 property.
Now say it with me again people ....CH-CHING!! Now you get it? Good.

Hope I was able to put a little bit of fat on your head with that tip. If not and you have 4 or 5 bedroom house you cant stand to have any longer....I'll buy it...right now! just go to www.quickcloseinvestor.com. and you will get a cash offer from within 48 hours.

And if your looking to pick something up for a great price only, cause you know thats all I deal with, the Cheap (but good) stuff, then go to www.texasbelowmarket.com.

Thats all for now kiddos,

Now go get em!!

Hustlin Today!! Came up on a New Opportunity!!

Hey,

All my people out there hustlin to make ends meet or where to place ends after theyve come together. I had an interesting meeting today. There is a local company here in Houston that is allowing up and coming investors like me and you get in on a huge opportunity. Commercial debt buying. The cool thing is they have huge accounts with new portfolios coming in all the time. They customize a package for you AND they can service the portfolio as well...meaning get it performing again for you to collect or resell once its all good. This is a big boy game and not many people get to play in this arena..COMMERCIAL DEBT. Consumer debt is much more risky and smaller margins,,not to mention much more heavily regulated. All I can say is I'M in!! I've bee studying this opportunity since last year and was just waiting for the right time and team. Well Today ..I think I found it. Keep You posted...til next time....Happy Investing
