Deed of Trust
A deed of trust is a legal document used to secure interest in real estate. Some states use trust deeds instead of mortgages. Although these two documents are similar in nature there is one primary difference. With a deed of trust the lender retains the property title until the loan is paid in full. With a mortgage, the buyer holds the title while the lender is provided with a property lien.
Deed of trust mortgages involve three parties and include the borrower, lender and trustee. The borrower is provided with a mortgage loan through the lender and must designate the lender as beneficiary to the legal title. The trustee retains the property title throughout the duration of the loan.

Buy My Home
"Man wears 'buy my home' sandwich board in desperate attempt to sell his house." This headline caught my eye as I skimmed through a local paper. The story went on to explain how the homeowner had been trying to sell his house to stop foreclosure. He claimed the sandwich board seemed to work for people trying to find work, so he thought he would try it as a last ditch effort to save his home and credit.
Perhaps there will be a new market for "buy my home" sandwich boards. That wouldn't be a bad thing considering how many people are losing their jobs. But, do homeowners really have to engage in this type of drastic advertising? The answer is no!

Sell My House Quick
Nearly every day people call me and say, "I need to sell my house quick!" My first question is, "Why?" A person who is facing foreclosure or bankruptcy probably needs to sell their house faster than someone who has inherited probate real estate or owns a second home. It is always important to determine how bad things are before I can help someone develop their exit strategy.
If you are thinking, "I need to sell my house quick" I will ask you the same question - Why? Has your lender sent you foreclosure papers? Are you in the midst of a divorce? Are you ready to walk away from your home because you don't know what to do? If so, I might be able to help and encourage you to submit information about your property via the "We Buy Houses" form on this website.

I Buy Houses
As a private investor I buy houses on a regular basis. On average, I view around 100 houses per month. Every day, I hear incredible stories of the life struggles people are facing. Many of the homeowners are facing foreclosure or bankruptcy. Others are going through a divorce or have recently lost their spouse due to illness or accident. Some need to sell their house because they have lost their job.
When I entered the "I buy houses" arena, my primary goal was to make money. I didn't realize that buying houses would ultimately offer distressed homeowners the opportunity to make a fresh start. While making money is fun, helping people out of bad situations is even better!

Bank Owned Properties
Bank owned properties refer to real estate which has been returned to the lender. Also referred to as real estate owned or REO, bank owned properties can consist of land, single dwelling homes, condominiums, apartment buildings, manufactured homes and commercial real estate.
Bank owned properties can be sold directly through the lender or a licensed realtor. Most REO property is priced under market value. In some cases, buyers can purchase bank owned real estate at savings of up to 40-percent. However, the average savings hovers between 10- and 15-percent

Mortgage Bankruptcy
Mortgage bankruptcy refers to the 'Conyers Bill' which was enacted by legislation in 2007. The mortgage bankruptcy bill is highly controversial because it modified the new bankruptcy laws which took effect in 2005.
The mortgage bankruptcy bill requires borrowers to provide evidence they are incapable of obtaining the financial means to become current on delinquent mortgage payments to stop foreclosure.

Foreclosed Homes
Are foreclosed homes a smart investment? The answer is a resounding, Yes! But, there are a few catches. First, you need to understand the foreclosure process. Secondly, you need to be able to wait out the housing crisis.
Currently, more than 11,000 million foreclosed homes sit vacant. Nearly every metropolitan city street is peppered with distressed properties in need of repair. The majority of these houses are priced to sell. While purchasing houses under market value is the key to turning a profit, it is of particular importance to thoroughly inspect every inch of foreclosure real estate.

Consolidate Debt
Many people opt to consolidate debt in order to eliminate high-interest loans and credit card debt. Instead of making multiple payments to various lenders, consumers take out a new loan and rollover all debt into that loan. Depending on the amount owed, consolidating debt into one loan can save a significant amount of interest over the long-run.
For homeowners, there are three ways to consolidate debt. These include cash-out refinancing, home equity loans, and home equity line of credit.
