Government Auction Foreclosures – Houses For Under $10,000?
Posted on January 24, 2012 - Filed Under Investment | Leave a Comment
While searching through some foreclosure and FSBO (For Sale By Owner) listings at the best foreclosure government auction site a few days ago, I was amazed at the consistency of how low some of the prices on houses and properties are. Many of these homes are in decent to great shape and are located in good areas of the country.
What is amazing is that for the price of a good used car you could actually buy a house. We all know which is a better investment, so why not change your car oil more often to get a few more years out of it and use that money to buy a rental property. Now you're probably thinking 'just try to get a mortgage or loan these days'. Well when prices are this low then the risk is low as well, not to mention current lenders are under extreme pressures to reduce housing foreclosure inventories so they will be more then eager to discuss a good deal with you.
Removal of a 2nd Mortgage Through Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
Posted on January 22, 2012 - Filed Under mortgage | Leave a Comment
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy offers an important, and often unknown, option to consumers who have residential real estate mortgages. Namely, removing a junior lien holder or "2nd" from your debt. Since the value of real estate has decreased, a common complaint I hear is, "I cannot believe I am paying more than my house is actually worth."
If you purchased a home in the past three to four years and financed with 80/20 mortgages, or if you refinanced your home and took out a second mortgage, chances are you can completely remove that second mortgage and other junior liens from your home.

Imagine...file a chapter 13 Bankruptcy to eliminate all your credit card debt, reduce your car payments, cure the back payments on your first mortgage and now, entirely remove your second mortgage.

New York State is a no-fault state in terms of car insurance coverage. Simply put, this means your car insurance policy will cover you, and the other guy's car insurance policy will cover him, regardless of who was at fault for the damages.
You can purchase New York's minimum car insurance requirements just the same as you would in any other state in America; however, New York's minimum car insurance coverage requirements are a bit more in-depth as far as coverage goes, and pricier as far as costs go.

The Pharmaceutical Industry in Today’s Economic Recession 2009
Posted on January 19, 2012 - Filed Under Economic | Leave a Comment
As these words are being written down, the world is going through extraordinary times, with a financial crisis not experienced since the world wars. Markets are in turmoils and uncertainty is part of many businesses and industries. Several financial analysis are available for us to read, but the content often difficult to digest. The recession has badly affected many industries who are now desperately seeking help, such as the car industry. But what will be the specific impacts of the economic recession on the biotech and pharmaceutical industry.
The pharmaceutical and health-care industry have historically been relatively immune to economic turndowns, because illness doesn't take a vacation. Yet, with the ongoing recession, financial support will be reduced. Therefore, like in other industries, it is expected that the most affected by the reduced availability in funding will be the early stage biotech and pharmaceutical companies who need funding. But is there more to come?
Being Sued for a Deficiency Judgment After Foreclosure
Posted on January 18, 2012 - Filed Under Foreclosures | Leave a Comment
Although the topic of deficiency judgments has been on the internet, it is one of the most commonly asked questions that homeowners have regarding losing their homes to foreclosure. One reason for this, of course, is the fact that home values have decreased nationwide, and foreclosure victims know that their properties will not sell at the county sheriff sale for an amount that will pay off the loan in full. Therefore, they are worried about having to pay the difference to the mortgage company, and the possibility of the lender suing them after foreclosure and going after their other assets. However, in nearly all cases, there is no danger of former homeowners being sued for a deficiency judgment after they have lost their homes to foreclosure.
Accident Damaged Cars For Sale
Posted on January 14, 2012 - Filed Under Internet Marketing | Leave a Comment
Accident Damaged Cars are one of the most common type of salvage vehicles available on the open market. These accident damaged cars are usually vehicles that have been taken over by insurance companies for reasons of not having to pay auto body companies from repairing damage that would cost more than the vehicle itself. The insurance companies would rather pay the owner the value of the vehicle that may be considerably less than having the vehicle repaired.
Tax Deed Investing – What is an "Upset" Sale?
Posted on January 13, 2012 - Filed Under mortgage | Leave a Comment
In Pennsylvania, some counties have two different tax sales; the "upset" sale, and the "judicial" sale. If tax sale properties are not sold at either of these two sales, the property then goes on the "repository" list and can be sold by private bid. The upset sale is held every year in the fall. It's called an "upset" sale because the minimum bid for the properties in this sale is known as the "upset" price; which includes any unpaid taxes from the county as well as any municipal liens. If a property is not sold in this sale, it is sold in the "judicial" tax sale in the spring. Not all Pennsylvania counties have judicial sales but they all have an upset sale.

Understanding Economic Cycles (Business Cycles)
Posted on January 10, 2012 - Filed Under Economic | Leave a Comment
Definition from Wikipedia.org.:The business cycle or economic cycle refers to the fluctuations of economic activity about its long term growth trend. The cycle involves shifts over time between periods of relatively rapid growth of output (recovery and prosperity), and periods of relative stagnation or decline (contraction or recession). These fluctuations are often measured using the real gross domestic product. Despite being named cycles, these fluctuations in economic growth and decline do not follow a purely mechanical or predictable periodic pattern.
