How to finance your foreclosure purchase? How about your IRA?
A good article ran today in Lew Sichelmans Realty Q & A column in MarketWatch. Titled " Buying Investment Property Through Your IRA ," the article offers a wealth of information on how to use funds already in your IRA to invest in different types of properties. While the article doesnt discuss foreclosure properties directly, much of the information should apply to any investment property you dont plan to use as a personal residence or vacation home. If youre looking for creative ways to finance an investment in a foreclosure property, you may not need to look much further than your retirement account.

The article claims that "real estate agents estimate that about half of foreclosed properties to be sold by mortgage companies nationwide have substantial damage, according to a new survey by Campbell Communications, a marketing and research firm based in Washington, D.C." And there are some real horror stories described by agents cited in the article: ferret droppings along the baseboards, walls pocked with holes, appliances and light fixtures ripped out, a trail of motor oil dripped on all the carpets throughout a house. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that more and more homeowners forced out of their homes by foreclosure are turning to vandalism to lash out in some tangible way in a situation where they feel powerless.

Beginner investors wise to avoid auctions
A recent New York Times article about foreclosure auctions reminded me why none of the experienced foreclosure investors Ive talked to recommend foreclosure auctions for people just getting started in real estate investing: "Yet while there is a tantalizing possibility of getting a deal, people who are intimately familiar with foreclosure auctions in New York — lawyers, mortgage bankers, brokers and former auction regulars — advise steering clear of them. Success is not impossible, but to even set foot in the ring you must put in hours of due diligence and overcome myriad obstacles,

FHA Program Linked to High Colorado Foreclosure Rate
An illuminating article in the Denver Post connects the dots between Colorado’s high foreclosure rate and an FHA program gone awry: “Created to extend the dream of homeownership to first-time buyers, the so-called FHA gift program instead has led to rampant foreclosures. Nearly 6,000 FHA loans have wound up in foreclosure in Colorado in the past two years, and during that time the program allowed more than 25 percent of FHA buyers to use gifts as down payments.” The article recounts several stories of homeowners who paid just a few hundred dollars to buy their home, using a loophole

Another Approach to $700 Billion Bailout
Peter Miller, author of the Common-Sense Mortgage, has offered up some alternatives to the proposed $700 billion bailout plan. Below are excerpts from an article he wrote about these alternatives. "One alternative is to simply offer low-interest loans to borrowers who currently have toxic mortgages. "Figures developed by Rick Sharga, senior vice president at RealtyTrac, show that the likely cost of low interest loans would be roughly $220 billion — hardly cheap, but a lot less expensive than the $700 billion plan now being discussed in Washington.

Bush Foreclosure Solution Just Adds Water
This can directly affect the homeowners’ ability, or desire for that matter, to proceed with such things as short sales and other types of workout situations that may offer them foreclosure relief, for instance. “…the Administration strongly believes this relief should be temporary to assist homeowners during the current mortgage market transition period and to avoid distorting consumer and lender decisions on new mortgage loans,” the statement said.
