Real Estate Investor and Note Investor Marketing
For personalawsomeness | January 26, 2012
Real estate investing, note investing, starting a business – it's all just business. Businesses live and die based on ONE thing – leads. It doesn't matter if you have the coolest product in the universe, if no one knows about it, you're dead in the water. You could be the most amazing and cheapest accountant in modern history, but if no one knows who you are, you may as well quit.
Real estate investing and note investing are 100% based on filling your funnel with quality leads. In order to do so we need two things – a list or a prospect database, and a way of reaching out to them. After that, it's all experience and execution – that's the easy part.

Property auctions gain popularity among South Florida’s wealthyProperty auctions gain popularity among South Florida's wealthy For The Real Deal| January 25, 2012 Wealthy South Florida homeowners sick of watching their multi-million dollar property linger in a poor sales market are increasingly turning to auctions to unload their assets, according to the Sun Sentinel.

Debtwire Releases the Seventh Annual North American Distressed Debt Market Outlook SurveyDebtwire Releases the Seventh Annual North American Distressed Debt Market Outlook Survey By Dara Silverstein For Morningstar | January 25, 2012 Debtwire, in association with Bingham McCutchen LLP and Macquarie Group, today announced the findings of its seventh annual North American Distressed Debt Market Outlook survey. The survey's findings show that investors are only cautiously optimistic for 2012 despite the recent increase in restructuring headlines and market volatility. The survey outlines 2012 as a "wait-and-see" period for investors to re-assess risk appetite in a vastly different global environment that is being shaped by a constantly changing political landscape, regulatory changes, and economic instability. "It is unlikely that defaults will meaningfully increase without an uptick in interest rates or a worsening of economic conditions," according to Mick Solimene, senior managing director, Macquarie Group. "However, given that the European financial crisis remains unresolved and could still result in spill-over effects in the US market, a number of players are increasing their distressed allocations to remain poised to capitalize on new opportunities as they arise." |
A Poor Year for Home Building Ends on Hopeful NoteA Poor Year for Home Building Ends on Hopeful Note By Dereck Kravitz, AP Real Estate Writer For ABC News | January 19, 2012 Builders ended 2011 with a third straight year of dismal home construction and the worst on record for single-family home building. But improvement at the end of the year lifted hopes for an eventual recovery. In December, builders broke ground on a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 657,000 homes, the Commerce Department said Thursday. A third straight increase in single-family home building was offset by a drop in volatile apartment construction. Building permits, a gauge of future construction, were essentially unchanged. The housing market still appears years away from full health. Realtors Confirm Higher Land Sales Prices During Past YearRealtors Confirm Higher Land Sales Prices During Past Year For Wisconson AgConnection | January 18, 2012 The big story in real estate and investment circles for 2011 was land--specifically farmland. According to United Country Real Estate, the nation's largest seller of land nationwide, land sales experienced a dramatic rise in 2011, resulting in a 20-percent increase and auction land sales that more than doubled over 2010. Land as a very profitable, diversified investment isn't a new idea. In fact, it's advice that has been handed down for generations. As Will Rogers said, "Buy land, they aren't making any more of the stuff," and as Warren Buffet last year said, "I'd rather own all the farmland in America, than all the gold in the world." According to Jason Cole, chief financial officer of United Country Real Estate, land was the company's most improved national property segment throughout 2011, posting over 20 percent increases over 2010 land sales volume. |
