New Wave of Foreclosure Bus Tours Puts You First, Sale Second

New Wave of Foreclosure Bus Tours Puts You First, Sale Second

**FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE***

August 2009-Investing in real estate has never been easier, nor more user friendly thanks to the newest wave of foreclosure bus tours. The Foreclosure Bus Tour offers exclusive, detailed and personal information about properties available to tour participants from real estate and investment professionals, removing the pressure to purchase.

The concept of foreclosure bus tours has become quite popular in recent years. Many tours include a realtor whose properties are the ones being visited, giving the realtor a biased, more personal incentive based reason to make a sale. A recent foreclosure bus tour in Atlanta, however, turns this practice around, making it a better, less stressful opportunity for investors. This is improved practice is exercised by the Foreclosure Bus Tour of Detroit.

At no cost to you, you become privy to a 5 hour tour of available Detroit area properties with the Foreclosure Bus Tour. Enjoy an educational experience and unprecedented access, not real estate agent induced stress. Instead of a hard sell while riding between locations, you will receive expert advice, opinions and suggestions by dedicated, non-commission seeking professionals. The tour also includes a home inspector who discusses the condition and potential of each home after visiting.

Metro Detroit real estate is a deeply sought after market, attracting investors from overseas. A recent article on CNN detailed an upcoming trip by Chinese investors looking to purchase American homes for between $300,000 and $800,000 at foreclosure. Similar trips are being scheduled throughout the year thanks to the successful nature and ample investment opportunities. These opportunities could be yours!

Home Buying in Detroit Just got better up to $18,000 in Incentives

The First Time Buyer Obama credit of up to $8000.00 has been a blessing and curse. There has been wholesale fraud due to the credit and also the ambiguity of the new law. The credit which has been a blessing to true first time buyers (The law defines "first-time home buyer" as a buyer who has not owned a principal residence during the three-year period prior to the purchase) it can be a great way for most to build that security blanket that most during the buying process

For the residence of Detroit the buying experience just got better, in addition to the potential $8000.00 tax credit that you can receive after the closing of your home purchase. The city of Detroit really wants to take all the excuses out of anyone buying a home. If you are in the market to buy a home and you meet the criteria discussed above you can qualify for an addition $10,000 down payment assistance program. This program in my mind is better due to the way it can be used, the $8000.00 Obama tax credit can’t be used as a down payment in Michigan yet, but the $10,000 American Dream Down Payment assistance can be used as Down payment. Both programs can be used in conjunction with each other. For this program you only need to be

· Must Be a First Time Buyer

· Must Be 18 years or older

· Home buyer must occupy the property as a primary residence

· Home buyer is required to make a 1% cash contribution from his or her own funds

· The homebuyer must own and remain in residence for at least 5 years, or be required to repay the loan at a diminishing rate of 20% per year.

· Home buyer must complete an approved home buyer counseling course.

· Program has income limits ranging from min of $39100 for a single individual to a max of $60,400 for a family of 5.

For more information about this program, how to find an approved home buyer counseling course feel free to contact our office. We have met with the city officials and some counseling agencies to make the home buying process simple. At My First Michigan home our goal is to keep the residence in the Metro Detroit area aware of all the great reasons home ownership is just a phone call away.

Real Estate Wholesaling on EBay

Being able to buy real estate property at wholesale prices is fast becoming one of the best ways to generate cash, and to embark on the slumping housing market in a whole new way. Real estate wholesaling on EBay or “flipping” a house for profit as it is called will ensure you that you will have a steady flow of cash on hand for the next property purchase. When you buy and sell wholesale real estate on EBay, you have a diversity of potential homebuyers, sellers and real estate buyers at your disposal. You will be able to turn your wholesale home into an instant lump of cash by reselling for profit.



Here’s how it works. In today’s market, when you buy a home around $50,000 to $100,000 and resell to an investor, that investor will pay up to 70% APV (or after repair value) on the property minus the repair costs. That gives the seller a 30% equity profit. In higher end homes, such as around $75,000 to $100,000 or more, even though there is a smaller margin, the seller can potentially earn 80 to 85% of the APV minus the repair costs. That is a profit of $75,000 or more for the seller. Taking this information here and applying it to the program will give you fast results. You will be a trusted investor in no time.



Don’t waste another day dreaming about your future. This fantastic program will allow you to turn profits in no time with wholesaling real estate on EBay. You will gain much more than a bigger bank account. You will be developing a solid customer base on EBay – satisfied customers who put you on their favorite sellers list on EBay. They will be telling their friends other contacts in their business about you and your EBay business. There ARE buyers and sellers out there and with all of the exposure you gain through selling on EBay, you are opening up a new venue of buying and selling real estate. Foreclosures are on the rise as well as eager homeowners who are struggling to make their monthly payments. While this is an unfortunate reality of life, it can also be a reality for you to earn the income of your dreams.

Free Reverse Mortgage Counseling

In response to the increased pressures on the incomes & savings of older adults, the National Council on Aging (NCOA) is offering free reverse mortgage counseling for seniors through its Reverse Mortgage Counseling Services (RMCS) Network.

RMCS counselors will waive the $125.00 counseling fee to help older home owners understand how reverse mortgages, along with community programs & other options, can help them to remain in their homes, and to live more comfortably.

Home owners aged 62 and above can schedule a free reverse mortgage counseling session, through September 30th, by calling 1-800-510-0301.

NCOA also offers a consumer booklet on reverse mortgages, entitled Use Your Home to Stay at Home.

As part of the new reverse mortgage counseling protocol under development by the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD), all HUD-approved reverse mortgage counselors will soon be required to provide consumers with this booklet.

A website for purchasing printed copies will be launched when HUD’s new protocol goes into effect.

"Tapping home equity in a timely way can keep small financial challenges from becoming overwhelming problems, but many older home owners need guidance on how and when to tap this asset," said Barbara R. Stucki, Ph.D., Director of the Reverse Mortgage Initiative for NCOA.

"We are pleased to work with HUD to provide both 1-on-1 reverse mortgage counseling and a detailed consumer booklet to help fill this knowledge gap."

The National Council on Aging is a non-profit service & advocacy organization headquartered in Washington, D.C.

NCOA serves as a national voice for older Americans - especially those who are vulnerable & disadvantaged - and the community organizations that serve them.

It brings together non-profit organizations, businesses like yours & mine, and government to develop creative solutions that improve the lives of all older adults.

NCOA works with thousands of organizations across the country to help seniors find jobs & benefits, improve their health, live independently, and remain active in their communities.
