South Florida Real Estate Market Cycles 2014 - 2015
In this article we're going to discuss the things that move the market place up down and sideways. We'll also delve into the class structure of the market and why some areas are appreciating a lot more than others.
We've all been through quite a joyride in that last number of years, haven't we? The Real Estate market has gone up, down, left, right and sideways - sometimes in a rapid succession. Now we're beginning to feel some form of a recovery in major metropolitan areas such as San Francisco, Miami, New York and Phoenix. This new market does not seem to be nourished by mortgage backed buyers like it was in 2004 - 2006. This new market looks more like an environment tailored for cash-buyer speculators.
Yes, thats right, I said the 'S' word. The marketplace is being flooded with overseas speculators that are once again causing prices to be driven up for Jane and John Doe. Whats peculiar about this Real Estate market revive is that it is happening primarily in upper-middle class to high-end communities. If you focus on the Real Estate markets of the city, you'll notice that the lower-end districts and ghettos are not experiencing any form of appreciation what-so-ever. As a matter of fact, there are still many abandoned and condemned houses lingering around in those areas.
If we take a trip back about a decade from 2015, you'll see that prices where increasing everywhere. People in the inner city were getting rich, albeit temporarily as they 'd splurge all the money they 'd receive from proceeds of sales on 24's, from selling off their properties. Their clients included a mixture of people getting scammed by home mortgage brokers, international investors, speculators, companies and clueless newbies. Now, just because this has all happened historically does not mean that this same group of people don't still exist, they do, but they still don't have any purchasing power as lending is still pretty tough in this market.
Now, what we've been seeing are a great deal of hedge funds coming into the market place and buying properties. This is probably occurring because they're seeing prices rise as a result of activity from these cash-buyer speculators from Europe, Asia and South America. These hedge funds are more attracted to seeing higher returns in Housing because the stock market has not been treating their capital very nicely in the last couple of years. Wall Street is coming back to the market again but this time around its not through mortgages, equity credit lines and other kinds of loans. Now, Wall Street is pouring their money directly into Real Estate and completely eliminating the consumer.
Eventually things will cool down and wall Street will retreat to the stock market once again. In the mean time there are plenty of opportunities no matter what is happening in the market, you just ought to know what you're undertaking.

Navigating the Waters of South Florida Short Sale Negotiation
Once a property owner is dealing with foreclosure, she or he must always remain positive but always rational. There is always the chance that whatever solution provided, whether it be from their own personal skills or with the support of others, my not be successful. With this in mind the owner must always have a back up plan if things don't go well the way they expected.
I mention this because when Short Sales are being executed, especially in the North Miami, Florida area, there is a fifty per cent chance that they will be unsuccessful. In order to increase your success, I have provided several recommendations that hopefully you'll find helpful when navigating the slippery waters of Short Sales and Loss Mitigation Negotiation.
First off, you should never attempt this by yourself. When you're flying from your hometown to another destination, do you ever pilot the airplane? Didn't think so. How about when you're at a restaurant waiting for your meal? Do you actually prepare the five-star food that's been approved by judges from around the world? Absolutely not. Therefore how is this any different? You should always seek the help of a Real property professional, someone who has either helped list and sell short sales such as a Realty agent who actually has a track record or a Real Estate investor who has already purchased properties via Short Sale previously.
You'll wish to look for verifiable proof that these professionals have completed at the minimum two or three transactions in the past several years.
Once you've got your connection, your helmsman under your belt, don't just let them fly the airplane on his or her own. Stay connected with the process. Follow up and ensure that the expert that you've chosen is doing their job correctly and accurately. This is where things can get a little difficult. When you're taking a trip on a plane or dining at a five-star restaurant, you don't necessarily need to constantly follow-up with the Pilot and the Chef, but we're referring to your home and your economic future here. There is much more at stake or steak depending where your mind is.
In addition to following up with your chosen expert, always bear in mind that the person who ultimately gains from this transaction is you. The entity that ultimately holds the decision to allow you off the hook is not your chosen professional, but the bank that holds your mortgage. Make sure that you keep in contact with your mortgage servicers to make sure that everything is on the right track.
Hopefully this article has helped you a little further when looking to solve your Property problems.

Miami Foreclosure: Solutions and Consequences
Within this post we're going to talk about solutions to foreclosure and the aftereffects that may occur if you decide to let the bank forcefully take back your property. We'll go over subject to, short sales, straight purchases and a number of other options.
So, your property in Miami is in foreclosure and you're desperately searching for a solution. Hopefully I may have the chance to bestow upon you several solutions that will help you and your family survive the storm.
Foreclosure can have ruinous effects on personal and business credit for as much as 7 to 10 years. Some say letting a foreclosure transpire is worse than going into bankruptcy. Perhaps it has something to do with the 'American Dream' of having a home and letting get repossessed. Back between the years of 2006 and 2010 everyone and their dog was loosing their house. Fortunately that does not need to be you.
If your Miami house does actually enter into foreclosure you might be facing several issues. The first is the most obvious fact; your credit score will plummet about 450 points and the foreclosure entry will remain on your credit for 7 to 10 years. After you loose your home it will be VERY hard to obtain another or even rent an apartment. I'm sure you don't like the idea of being homeless or living with friends and relatives. In addition to that, the bank may come after you for what is called a deficiency judgment. This occurs when your property sells at auction, after it has been reclaimed, for short of what you owe. So if your mortgage is $200k and your property sold for only $100k at the courthouse steps, then you're liable for the remaining $100,000. The bank can garnish your wages and seize any assets you obtain until the $100,000 is paid off. Yes, it does seem very draconian but that's how the system works. Banks these days have too much power and you're much better off discovering a solution instead of twiddling one's thumbs.
Speaking of solutions, you can always sell your property before the auction date. By doing this there will be no deficiency judgment and your credit will be salvaged where you'll have the chance to move on with your life much sooner than 7 to 10 years. If you have equity, you can sell your Miami house very quickly to a person just like myself where you can close in as little as 20 days. You'll be guided throughout the entire process from beginning to end and you won't have to bother with any step of the procedure to sell your home.
You can also check out a solution called a 'Short Sale.' This solution takes longer than 20 days but is still worth it. If you owe more on your home than its worth, the mortgage balance can possibly be negotiated down and your property sold with little effect to your credit and in many cases, you won't have to worry about the bank coming after you for the remaining balance.
We can also do something called a 'Subject To' takeover. This solution involves the buyer, me, taking control of your payments and/or bringing them current and taking the property ownership from that point on relieving you of any worries or responsibilities. This is also a good solution if you owe exactly what the property is worth or a little more and you wish to maintain stellar credit by keeping the mortgage current but you no longer want to own the residential property or house in Miami.
If you'd like to learn more about how you can stop foreclosure you can always call me at 305-349-3231.

Selling your North Miami Beach House
Are you all set to obtain your property sold? Great! Now the next concerns you should ask yourself is exactly how are you willing to go about doing it and how long can you wait? When you're aiming to sell your home you need to take into account your objectives and goals. Is the property making your life miserable or are you simply planning to get the most for your cash and you want to wait around for that best buyer?
Lets assume that you're aiming to get the most you can out of your property. In order to do this you'll have to make certain that everything in your North Miami Beach house is totally repaired. There cannot be any recognized problems such as plumbing, electrical, structural or natural problems. By organic problems I indicate weeds and parasites. After the basics are cared for you ought to concentrate your focus on something called staging. Staging is everything about embellishing the property in such a means that it will make your prospective buyers, specifically their partners given that they eventually manage men in relationships, desire to purchase the property. You can do this be either embellishing the property yourself with intense selling colors with art work and furniture such as yellow, orange, mango and lime.
Take examples from the regional design and decoration books and take sees to furnishings stores. Since they psychologically trigger buying moods, that is the reason why I suggest those colors. For this approach I 'd recommend selling the home furnished. If for any reason the buyers would be interested in purchasing the home unfurnished you can always hold an auction to sell the furniture numerous weeks before the closing date. Before you do that, simply ensure that the buyer's deposit has actually currently been received and that you're at the point in the agreement where they won't be able to get their deposit back if they revoke the deal.
Now, if your home in North Miami Beach is in such a condition that it wouldn't make good sense for you to fix and you're just wanting to remove it swiftly, there is a a lot easier way to sell your property. All you have to do is call me, and I'll purchase it from you. The benefit of dealing with a North Miami Beach purchaser such as myself is that you don't need to fret about making any repairs to your North Miami Beach residence, you don't have to stress over providing it with a Realtor or revealing it to a thousand tire kicker purchasers, you don't have to fret about waiting for somebody to obtain bank financing and you most definitely don't even need to manage the closing process, take care of title business, city officials, inspectors or pay any closing costs.

We Buy House Miami
Miami is a steaming place to purchase and sell Real Estate. I love this city and trust me, I've been to many. Sure Miami has its ups and downs. Some of its ups include the hot people and that amazing night life. Some of its downs include the horrible drives and draconian political elitist rule over the locals. Other than that, its a great place. It is for this reason that so many foreigners are drawn in to Miami. As a result of this influx, the prices and construction booms will always be taking place and their up cycles will always be insane.
As a Miami local I have seen the markets go move around several times. I used to be involved in the Real Estate business with several partners and so we marketed by saying things such as We Buy Houses Miami or We Buy Miami Houses Cash. Now that I'm an individual doing this on my own I go with slogans such as I Buy Houses Miami or I Buy Miami Houses Cash. I also include verbiage such as 'I can close within 20 days and pay all cash.'
You might have discovered this article by typing something like Sell My House Miami or Sell My Miami House. Whatever the case is, I can certainly buy your property in a very short time span. You must keep in mind though, when I purchase houses the main service that I am providing for you is fast, easy and convenient closings that are sure to go through. Because I pay all cash or use private money also known as hard money, there are no financing contingencies. This means that you won't have to wait around until I get approved for a mortgage or have to worry about the deal falling through due to lack of financing.
All of my purchases are cash and thats a very important factor in my business. In this economic climate, you should only deal with someone who has the cash to purchase a property if you find that you need to sell it in a short amount of time. Banks are still very strict about lending and a large percentage of mortgage backed transactions never make it to the closing table. To make matters even worse, banks only finance properties that are in livable condition. If you have a piece of land that you're tired of maintaining or a property that needs to be torn down, working with a bank will never help you achieve your goals.
Whatever you have in Miami or the surrounding area including but not limited to Ft. Lauderdale and West Palm Beach - I can buy it! Land, houses, buildings, motels, hotels you name it. I can also purchase properties that are only days away from auction or upside down on the mortgage where you may owe more than what the property is valued at the fair market price.
If you have any questions about anything, even if you're not yet ready to sell your property, please feel free to contact me and I'll be more than thrilled to assist you!

North Miami Short Sales Professional
Short sales are still in an abundance here in North Miami. I have been doing short sales for about the past decade and I know every single detail about them I know that most banks don't have an interest in helping the home owner or anyone involved in the process. I have also seen that Short Sales negotiated with banks such as Bank of America, Chase and Wells Fargo are among the toughest to complete. These larger bank are getting greedier by the day. The short sale payoff letters come in at or above market value of you don't know what you're doing.
Having an experienced Short Sale professional on your side is the difference between night and day! Not only will a short sale be negotiated on your behalf but there will be legal defenses taking place against the bank's lis pendis law suite. The battle will be fought on two fronts. We don't want to beg the big banks for a short sale discount without having a gun in hand!
I've been able to get foreclosures in North Miami dismissed while working on short sale files. How do I do this you ask? With years and years of experience thats how! I have a team that knows the ins and outs of the real estate legal system and can pretty much get the judge to do anything.
When the banks such as Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Chase and Suntrust see that they won't be able to take the property back from a poor defenseless homeowner seeking relief, then they're willing to negotiate and compromise. It is only at the point when your enemy sees that he or she will loose the battle when they are willing to help. Otherwise, asking for help with a whimper will only ruin your credit and leave you in an unfortunate situation.
When you're looking to avoid foreclosure you must always keep in mind ways in which you can get the system to work for you in a smart and professional manner. Don't try to cheat the system of Short Sales, just work with it so that it can work in your favor. If for any reason you're not sure how the system works, please consult a professional like me.
I've been purchasing homes, helping homeowners avoid foreclosure, dealing with banks and even training others on how to get into the real estate business for years. My speciality is creative Real Estate solutions for you and your family.
