HOUSING CRISIS CREATES A STRONGER RENTAL MARKET
The home, townhouse, condo and apartment rental market demand will increase as more difficulty arises for the home buyer. Qualifying for a mortgage today requires higher credit scores. Miami-Dade and Broward foreclosures plus higher unemployment force demand for rentals. Many can ONLY rent at this time. RENTALS R US! We KNOW the rental & property management/maintenance business. Check us out! Don't choose a Realtor who has not specialized in rentals - their inexperience can hurt you. If you can't SELL now- try RENTING. We are renting ALL our listings as FAST as we get them!

The Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act Of 2007
President Bush Signs Legislation Protecting American Families
From Higher Taxes When They Refinance Their Homes
"When your home is losing value and your family is under financial stress, the last thing you need is to be hit with higher taxes. So I'm working with members of both parties to pass
a bill that will protect homeowners from having to pay taxes on cancelled mortgage debt."
─ President George W. Bush, 9/1/07
─ President George W. Bush, 9/1/07
The Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act of 2007 should help Americans avoid foreclosure by protecting families from higher taxes when they refinance their home mortgages. This Act will create a three-year window for homeowners to refinance their mortgage and pay no taxes on any debt forgiveness that they receive. This Act increases the incentive for borrowers and lenders to work together to refinance loans and allows American families to secure lower mortgage payments without facing higher taxes.
HOPE NOW recently mailed hundreds of thousands of letters to borrowers falling
behind on their payments and is supporting a toll-free mortgage counseling hotline,
1-888-995 HOPE. HOPE NOW has developed a plan under which up to 1.2 million
homeowners could be eligible for assistance. The HOPE NOW plan will help subprime
borrowers who can afford the current, starter rate on a subprime loan, but would not be
able to make the higher payments once the interest rate goes up.

Rentals | Sales | Financial Distress?
Hi everyone,
We are renting our listings as fast as we get them. If you are in problems with your properties, THINK of listing for rent. Many who cannot sell in this down market are choosing to do so. It takes the pressure off for now. We now see more tenants renting because they can't afford to buy or cannot qualify to buy. As this trend continues the rental prices will begin to climb.
Right now, Realtors are competing with many rentals and sale listings. DON'T list with an inexperienced rental agent! That can result in problem tenants. Agents MUST know how to screen with credit, employment and background checks. Most rush through the process because they don't know what to do and feel they don't make as much money on a rental as a sale anyway. They may hurry to get the deal done without your best interest at heart. We say "NO" to offers many times before we find the "perfect" tenant for you.
We have 50 years team experience in the rental and management business with 5,000 + past clients who stay in touch regularly. This gives us a definite advantage over our competition. Our web sites receive 25,000 + visitors a month. We are an International company with clients from all over the world and many are military relocations.
If you are currently a tenant of ours, please contact us at least 60 days prior to your expiration date so we can renew your lease or help you relocate.
If you are a landlord of ours, you will see that we rarely have vacancies! Our property management department is available upon request.
If you are in serious financial difficulties with months in arrears on your mortgage payments, we can bail you out. Don't face foreclosure when we can save you. We know what to do to work with your mortgage company and save your credit. Don't delay, list your property today.
Call or email us!

INVEST IN LAND IN THE MOUNTAINS!!

We will see a developer who is selling existing mountain cabins in the low $100's. Also Georgia mountain lots for sale that are inexpensive to buy for investment.
We will also be working with 3 Blue Ridge Mountain developers with approximately 15 different developments - all ranging from inexpensive to expensive depending on location, size and view!
With the stock market upheaval and the South Florida Real Estate market dipping, it's time to think of your future. Land is always a good investment - even better when it is appreciating!

Also 1031 exchanges may be made by selling your investment property here and buying an investment property elsewhere. Save those capital gains! ASK US HOW?
DON'T WAIT TO BUY REAL ESTATE. BUY REAL ESTATE AND THEN WAIT!
I'm excited and will invite you to one of our seminars in Feb/March when our schedule is set. Also we'll fly you there for FREE to see for yourself the investments we suggest. Decide for yourself! There is absolutely no pressure from us.
Our future seminars will include information on short sale/foreclosure properties to sell or buy, Sell, rent or short sell when you OWE more than your home is worth, How 1031 exchanges are made to avoid capital gains and move to a better investment, Wills and Trusts to protect your existing investments, and Question and Answer sessions to Real Estate Attorneys for valuable help in your investment choices.

Short Sales - Selling alternative?
Short Sales - Selling alternative?
If you are facing a potential foreclosure of your home - YOU ARE NOT ALONE! It may be embarrassing, but it is a prevalent problem all over the country.
Foreclosures incur significant credit damage. However, SHORT-SALES are far less damaging. We will work with your lender to list your home for sale and settle with your lender as final payment with the real estate commission paid by your lender. It will be less than the required payoff to your lender, but it allows YOU to start over. Your lender PREFERS this approach to avoid time and foreclosure costs. So why sit there and worry? Take action to break free.Salvaging your credit should always be your primary concern. Do NOT senselessly sit back and lose everything.
Other possible solutions?????? - maybe renting your home will resolve your problem, selling immediately at a lower price to reap a small profit instead of the losing proposition of holding on.
FROM MIAMI TO FT. LAUDERDALE, We can help you sell, buy or rent your home. Property management is available for your rental investments.
DO NOT DELAY - CALL US TODAY - WE VALUE YOUR TRUST!
