Mortgage Leads Scam Revealed by Walton Solutions
(ContentDesk) April 14, 2006 -- Walton Solutions announces in a recent investigation they have found a "Mortgage Lead Scam" is happening to 20% of brokers. Walton Solutions provides valuable information to consumers.Many companies say they sell mortgage leads and deliver what they promise to be people who requested information on a home loan, refinance or general mortgage consolidation."If you are like me you have received these "leads" and then called them only to hear 'I didn't request any information,' or something along those lines," says Jefferson Baker, Loan Officer of Triwes Mortgage.75 companies were investigated by Walton Solutions and 30% of them are polluting the web with advertisements that entice people to fill out a form (usually automatically as well so they barely remember seeing a form) and "win something."According to Walton Solutions, this is bogus. There are only a few solid ways to land to a good Mortgage Lead other than knowing a Realtor yourself, and there are only a few companies that sell quality Mortgage Leads.According to Walton Solutions, a Mortgage Lead company named Site Tools sells quality Mortgage Leads and after investigation, do not use the same tactics. They are a direct provider and know who is looking for a mortgage, when and where they are looking for one. They deliver these leads real time either with a management tool, to email or even cell phone via a text message.And best of all, they actually refund the purchase if a broker is not satisfied.http://www.sitetools.com/Max AmilianoFinancial JournalistYour Friend in the Mortgage Business.
How To Tell if a Property is Overvalued
In the wake of the incredible house price boom witnessed in most of the developed world over the past decade, a lot of ideas have sprung up as to how to value a house 'fairly'. The reason for this is that traditional methods, such as working out house prices as a multiple of salaries, or perhaps mortgage affordability as a percentage of income, seem to have 'stopped working' recently.There can be no doubt that house prices are .. ahem! .. at the top end of their range compared to traditional valuation methods, but don't let anyone fool you that this is now the 'norm', or that a 'new paradigm' is in place. Such talk rightly marks the climax of an asset bubble, as witness the dotcom bust as the millenium rolled over.
Many things can change as technology and societies develop, but basic human nature isn't one of them, and the twin drivers of any asset bubble, fear and greed, are rather depressingly evident in this bubble too.So if you live in an area where houses are trading at,...

How I Became a Hard Money Lender
Unlike other investors, my venture into real estate was a natural extension of my secondary business as the IP Ware software developer. However, opportunity and perseverance beget wealth, or at least a decent side income. Aside from my ventures into lease optioning residential property, I and my partner have managed to acquire a number of properties with our own credit. However, when looking at our finances and the return we were getting for the amount of effort involved, we both decided there must be a better way. That is when it occurred to me.
Instead of trying to leverage our existing assets for a diminishing return, perhaps we could be the bank.Here is the scenario as it has played out. First of all, we control a decent number of properties with our own credit. Most were purchased with 100% financing using multiple capital sources. However, each contains only a primary lean and is financed using standard mortgage terms. Subsequently, there is a 20% secondary credit position...

Pricing your House To Sell
Your asking price is likely the most difficult - and crucial - decision you'll
make when you put your house on the market. Ask too little and you risk leaving
money on the table unnecessarily. Ask too much and you may scare off potential
buyers. Most Sellers set their initial asking price at an amount somewhat higher
than they are actually willing to accept, fully expecting a buyer to open the
bidding with a lesser amount. While price is the most frequently negotiated item in any home sale, you may
be able to creatively provide financial value to your buyer - without lowering
the price alone.
- major appliances such as your stove, fridge, dishwasher and microwave offer
good negotiating power - while you'll likely be including some of them in
your asking price, consider excluding some from the listing (the washer and
dryer perhaps) to use as a future bargaining chip; - window...

The 7 Sins of Mortgage Brokers
Honesty is the most important aspect of dealing with mortgage brokers. Unfortunately not all brokers are forth coming with certain information that would allow you to trust them and make an informed decision about the deal they recommend. Don't get me wrong not all mortgage brokers are bad. Just don't underestimate the influence that commission has on their recommendations. And, as always there are bad eggs in every industry.
Being aware of the following broker sins will help you pick a trustworthy broker and make sure they get the best deal for you. Most importantly, don't be afraid to ask questions.
Sin 1: Favouring their loan product.
You need to be aware if the mortgage broker is also a lender, i.e. do they have their own loan products? If they do, and they offer there own product, there needs to be a clear, understandable reason why their product is the best choice for your situation.
Sin 2: Being influenced by commission.
