"The way to make money is to buy when blood is running on the street."  - John D. Rockefeller

The wealthy and most successful people in the United States don't follow crowds or media headlines. These wealthy individuals purchase investments when everyone is selling, and sell those same investments when everyone else begins to buy. How do you make investment decisions? 

"Opportunity investors," those who purchase discounted investments knowing there is always a rebound, are currently investing in real estate because they know there are deals to be had.

There are still great loans out there and interest rates are low. It amazes me when friends and investors say, "I want to wait until the market is better." That's not going to make you money. Now is the time to buy! Every successful real estate investor says the same thing including Donald Trump.

The wealthiest people in the nation understand the simple economics and strategies to generating wealth. Buy low and sell high! Buy investments when everyone isn't, and sell when everyone wants them. This cannot be more true then it is today.

Let us help you find the Perfect Investment so you can take advantage of the amazing opportunities awaiting you.

As most of you know, we are big fans of Texas for real estate investing. One of our favorite areas is the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. Below are portions of an  article on msnbc talking about the tremendous growth to the area. As this area continues to grow these people need a place to live creating high rental demand. For our available investments in this area click HERE.

DALLAS - Four Texas metropolitan areas were among the biggest population gainers as Americans continued their trend of moving to the Sun Belt in 2006 and 2007, according to Census Bureau estimates to be released Thursday.

Dallas-Fort Worth added more than 162,000 residents between July 2006 and July 2007, more than any other metro area. Three other Texas areas — Houston, Austin and San Antonio — also cracked the top 10.

...Experts credit much of the growth in the South to relatively strong local economies and housing prices that are among the most affordable in the United States...

...According to figures compiled by Eschbach, 16 percent of Americans who moved to other states between July 2006 and July 2007 came to Texas, which led the nation for the second straight year in that category.

Home prices continue to be a big factor. A report earlier this month by Global Insight found that housing prices in the Dallas area were undervalued by as much as 30 percent...

I just received an email from a friend of ours that is also a mortgage lender. It's regarding a very important issue. Below is his message. If you'd like to contact him feel free to Let Us Know and we'll get you in touch with him.

Your home equity line may be frozen and you may not even realize it!

Banks are sending notices to homeowners advising them that their home equity lines have been frozen or reduced.

If you have an unused equity line, it may be at risk.

Recently, I have received several phone calls from clients who have already received such notices. As your mortgage advisor, I felt very strongly that it was important that I share this information with you immediately.

• If you believe that you may need to access available funds on your equity line then I would strongly urge you to look at your loan agreement to see if it contains any language that would permit the bank to freeze or reduce your line of credit. If so, you may want to consider whether or not it makes sense to draw down any of the remaining funds on your equity line. While I would not normally make such a recommendation, this may be the only option available for some people that have a need for liquidity. However this would have to be carefully evaluated against the cost of the payments and the overall impact on your equity position in your home versus declining property values.

Banks are taking huge write downs and losses as a result of poor lending practices and high foreclosure rates throughout America. As stock values continue to plummet, banks are being forced to change their credit policy and lending guidelines faster than they can communicate. While it’s easy to understand their defensive repositioning, many homeowners are being caught off guard when their bank refuses to honor an equity check or a request for funds to be drawn.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions concerning this matter or any other mortgage related questions.

Hello Investors,

I wanted to update you on the duplex investment opportunities we have in Fort Worth, Texas. We had four units built and they are all under contract. We only have four other lots available to build these duplex units on and they should be completed in late May.

The cash flow on this investment is by far the best to date ($400+ per month) and Michael and I have been encouraging everyone to get in on this deal before they are all gone. Four of you have taken that advise and we are quite confident, the next four will sell just as fast. Click HERE for details regarding this investment.

We were able to negotiate these deals on our last trip out to Fort Worth in early February, we personally inspected the units, both interior and exterior, and were very impressed with the builder's quality of workmanship and the amenities provided at such a low cost. The areas are very, very strong rental communities and we anticipate having them leased before the buyer's 1st month expenses. We are so confident of this that Nationwide Property Investments will guarantee the buyers, in writing, that if the units are not leased prior to your 1st month's payments (mortgages, taxes, & insurance) we will pay those expenses for up to two months. Try finding a real estate investment company who will stand behind their services & investments with that kind of confidence and written guarantee!

As we all keep hearing in the news, the residential real estate market is in the "toilet" and there are so many single family homes (sfr's) now in foreclosure, abandoned, and bank owned. These people have to live somewhere, so rent they must. This has created an excellent window of opportunity for duplex and quadraplex buyers. There has been a large increase in multifamily unit developments as developers have found a niche in this down market. It is our professional opinion that this window of opportunity will be brief, and for those of you who are "sitting on the sidelines", you risk missing out on this opportunity.

The duplex investments we have are well above a 1% rent to value ratio. ($100,000 purchase = $1,000 monthly rent or 1%). Add in our creative financing methods for 100% financing and you still have over $300 monthly positive cash flow. Now is the time to buy!  I rest my case.
