If I start to negotiate a short sale on my house can my retirement (403b, IRA) be touched?
I know that banks look at your assets when negotiating short sales, but are retirement accounts included. Is there a way to hide that money or any money? I am drowning under my mortgage, but I don’t want foreclosure and bankruptsy. I owe 556,000 combined two mortgages and I still can’t sell my house at 540,000. It was appraised at 640, 000 at the beginning of the summer, but there is too much inventory and too few buyers. HELP!!!
A persistent debate among marketers is the question of whether long copy is sometimes used in place of short copy. While top copywriters generally affirm the favorable results of long copy, it’s helpful to get some perspective to see why this is the case.
The general rule of thumb for the length of copy is this: your sales letter should be just long enough to get the job done. If you think about this carefully, the majority of the objections to long copy evaporate. Just think about what we are asking the sales letter to accomplish for us.
Stockton, California reported the highest foreclosure rate among the nation’s 100 largest metro areas from Jan to Jun 2007, according to RealtyTrac, an online marketplace for foreclosure sales. Detroit and Las Vegas documented the next highest foreclosure rates. RealtyTrac’s 2007 Midyear Metropolitan Foreclosure Market Report showed the foreclosure activity in the top 100 metro areas for the first half of 2007. As foreclosure rates continue to rise, 82 out of 100 metro areas recorded year-over-year increases in foreclosures.

There is a really good quote from a guy by the name of Ron Legrand (you may have seen his stuff in Nightingale Conant) that sounds silly, but is very true and applicable to our businesses. Ron says, “The less I do the more I make” and he really means many things here.
First he is talking about delegating as much of the non value things as possible to someone else and not being involved in minimum wage activities just money sucking activities.
Real estate investment information?
I’m 20 years old and I’m looking for sources of information for buying real estate properties and renting them out. I’ve read many books and purchased many programs on the subject, but am looking for the complete deal. With subjects such as insurance, property management companies, loans, etc… I need a really technical resource with not a lot of fluff. The real meat and potatoes of the business. Thanks for the help.
