Will Homeowners Sink or Swim?
But as the rising tide of mortgage debt grows, many of those homeowners will unfortunately sink, drowning in foreclosure red ink. For the thousands of homeowners who jumped into turbulent housing waters via these easy-to-qualify-for loans, they are now succumbing to a riptide of bad news. And prices of existing homes fell in August for the first time in 11 years as sales dipped to their lowest level since early 2004, according to the National Association of Realtors . Many American homeowners — initially attracted to low teaser rates on those “exotic” ARMs and sub-prime loans — now find themselves swimming upstream in a desperate attempt to remain financially afloat.

Local Market Perspective: Seattle, Wash.

So, if you want to beat the competition when it comes to an equity positive real estate investments Over the past three months, my clients and I have presented nine contracts to pre-foreclosure, REO and short sale sellers.
