Buying Real Estate is Good! Home Affordability at All Time High! Good Article.

Download Buying Against the Grain_Real Estate

To me it is very simple. Now is an excellent time to buy a home! Interest rates are unbelievably low and home prices are extremely low. There is a tremendous inventory of distressed homes (short sales and pre-foreclosures) as well bank owned REO homes weighing the market down and therefore forcing lower home values. As the economy improves, (which I absolutely believe it will soon) theis abnormally high number of foreclosures and REOs we are experencing, will dwindle, and the current inventory of homes will, slowly at first, get scooped up by investors or purchased by first time home buyers. Hence… As these empty REO homes are filled, home values will begin to rise for the rest of the market. However, once home values rise, interest rates will rise right along side, almost like a 2 person side car on a motorcycle. Where one goes the other will follow…

Needless to say there is alot more to our current real estate market than my brief synapsis here, however, currently we are in a Buyer's Market and have been for several years… I believe the worm is beginning to turn though. Hope you enjoy.

Thank You

Attorney Rick Regan, Summary of Bond for Deed / Louisiana Land Trust Agreement

by Leave a Comment

Rick Regan is an attorney I have spoken with on the phone several times and was finally able to put a face with a name, when I attended 2 hours of his continuing education. With Rick's permission I am posting much of the course materials provided at the CE, which explain in detail the Who? What? Where? When? Why? and How? of Bond for Deed / Louisiana Land Trust Agreements. If you have a situation in which you may need to be creative in your financing, regardless if you are a Buyer or a Seller, this type of sale may suit your needs.

I hope these informative documents get some good use. I have found in the past myself, several occassions to pursue this course, regardless of whether it is the Buyer or Seller, a Bond for Deed / Louisiana Land Trust may work for you.

For more information on getting Pre-Qualified or Pre-Approved, or using Bond for Deed / LA Land Trust Agreements, please feel free to contact us 985-867-8670 or at marc@mmsre.com. We will help you in any way we can.
