The slowing real estate market in 2006 will provide the first real price opportunities for buyers for the first time in most American residential real estate markets. But don’t look for bargain basement prices on foreclosures. Several factors will keep foreclosure prices at points that might not be worth the additional risks involved with them. Experienced foreclosure buyers will still be in the market, and don’t underestimate their influence if you end up in a bidding war with them at a foreclosure auction.

Foreclosures come in three basic varieties. First there is the auction or trustee sale which happens after the property owner defaults on their mortgage and the mortgage holder or lender sells the property to the highest bidder at a public sale. The second are the Real Estate Owned or REO property that the lender owns after the owner defaults on their mortgage, the lender manages and sells the home through a traditional real estate agent. And finally there are HUD foreclosures who in turn auctions those properties whose loans have been guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, online. Mark Nash author of 1001 Tips for Buying and Selling a Home offers tips on buying foreclosed properties in 2006.

-Learn how the redemption period can impact a foreclosure. In some states homeowners have the legal right to buy back their property within a state mandated period of time, even after its sold at auction.

-Investigate properties that are near foreclosure. Some investors pick up properties before they go into formal proceedings. These homeowners have fallen behind on mortgage payments but legal remedies have not been initiated by the bank or lender to seize the home. Contact homeowners with direct mail or telephone campaigns. Remember though that if using the telephone, some homeowners might be registered on national Do-Not-Call lists.

-Foreclosures eat away at banking profits. Even though many think that banks would want to liquidate troubled loans, they are not in the business of owning real estate. Many lenders will work diligently with borrowers to avoid the lengthy and costly process of foreclosure.

-Foreclosed homes are not always bargains. According to industry sources foreclosed properties don’t sell for significantly less than other homes in most U.S. markets. If your in a high demand market don’t expect steep discounts. Don’t forget to factor in major repairs and minor improvements that foreclosed homes need. If owners couldn’t pay the mortgage, they couldn’t afford the maintenance, and often trash the homes in retaliation.

-Experienced investors who understand the risks buy the majority of properties sight unseen at public auctions. Auctions though can be risky for first-time investors. Many new investors aren’t aware that along with the property price come the unpaid taxes, liens and second mortgages that they are required to pay to receive title. And evictions can also come with the property, now you’ve just become a landlord. Know and understand landlord-tenant laws in your state before jumping into a sight-unseen foreclosure auction.

-The Internet is a good resource for finding more information on foreclosures. Visit web sites that will offer you lists from public records of those behind on their mortgage payments, for a subscription price. Contact experienced real estate agents for an inside line to problem properties before they have legal entanglements.

-Don’ be afraid to knock on doors. It might be old-fashioned, but getting out and knocking on doors might be a way to learn first-hand about potential foreclosures. Develop ways to qualify problem homeowners by property condition and follow-up with a professional but helpful style.

-Retain an real estate attorney. Well worth the cost to trouble shoot the many legal hurdles to owning a foreclosure property.

Foreclosures: Not the Next Generation for Property Flippers

Foreigners visiting Thailand almost always fall in love not only with the natural beauty of this tropical paradise but also with the beautiful and friendly faces of its locals.  As such, it is no surprise that marriages between Thai nationals and foreigners have become a common occurrence in this Land of Smiles.  The growing increase in the number of queries on Thai marriage registration in the World Wide Web virtually matches up the number of culturally diverse couples lining up in the District Offices of Thailand to declare their respective I do’s.  However, with the increase in Thai-Foreigner marriages come also property issues peculiar to this type of union.

In this age of pragmatism, it cannot be denied that some marriages are entered into with a not so romantic and sentimental reason. For some, marriage may be viewed as a direct insurance to long term stay in Thailand or a sure fire way of circumventing prohibitions on land ownership in the Kingdom. Unfortunately however, these reasons are pretty much misplaced conjectures. 

Foundation Thailand

Marriage between a foreigner and a Thai national does not automatically entitle the foreigner spouse an unlimited period of stay in Thailand.    At most, it only renders the foreigner spouse eligible for a marriage visa. Most importantly, marriage to a Thai national does not entitle the foreigner spouse to directly and personally own a piece of land in this tropical dreamland. In fact, when a married couple with a foreigner spouse buys a piece of land, Thai laws expressly require that the foreigner spouse sign a declaration stating that he/she does not have future rights over the property and that all funds used in the transaction belong wholly to the Thai spouse.  

Another controversial issue respecting marriages, which is almost Shakespearean in substance, is the almost guilty murmurings of to prenup or not to prenup. Prenuptial Agreement in Thailand although practically a must do preliminary in marriage, is viewed with much wariness and skepticism.   This attitude towards pre-nups is primarily because of the belief that it reduces the otherwise sacrosanct sacrament of marriage into a mere sensible practicality of contract.    However, sentiments aside, prenuptial agreements are a necessary instrument that couples can use to protect their hard earned assets and to further define a sound structure that will govern the rights and obligations of spouses respecting future investments, earnings and liabilities. Moreover, it can also determine the potential division of assets should the marriage be later dissolved by reason of divorce or death. It is worth stressing that Prenuptial Agreements must conform to the Civil and Commercial Code in Thailand. 

Matrimony is indeed a momentous and life changing occasion. Like any other endeavor of great consequence, it is imperative that it be given utmost thought and preparation. It is important to seek counsel from registered and reputable lawyer, attorney or solicitor familiar with the laws in your home country and in Thailand before preparing a prenuptial agreement with a Thai national fiancé.

Thai Marriage – Implications on Property Rights

Part of due diligence for profitable real estate investments is property inspection. A 20/20 understanding of property condition eliminates the risk of making costly mistakes and bolsters your negotiating leverage.

Meet the Decision Maker

Assuming you are evaluating a property to purchase, conduct the inspection with whomever can make the decision to sell, usually the owner. Inspecting with the decision-maker develops rapport and ensures a mutual understanding of the condition. Surprisingly, many owners are not aware of the true condition of their property; on the other hand, others may inform you about problems that are not readily apparent.

Foundation Thailand

Prior to meeting, ask the seller to bring a copies of the deed, survey, tax bill, leases, and receipts for any major work on the property. These documents will familiarize you with the property; moreover, the search of the same will cause the seller to invest time in the negotiation. The more time invested, the more they will want to reach an agreement-nobody wants to invest time for nothing.

Inspection Tools

For a thorough inspection, you need the proper tools. Your inspection toolbag might include: a cro-bar, binoculars, electrical tester, camera, tape measure, flashlight, extra batteries, sandwich bag, clipboard, square, purchase contracts, cordless drill, marble, and probe (screwdriver).

1) Exterior Inspection

Begin with an exterior assessment. With clipboard and pad, record impressions about neighboring property, driveways, walkways, stairways, and handicap access. Note the parking situation, grading, and landscaping. Inspect the condition of exterior walls, doors, and windows. Use your binoculars to check the roof, or if possible inspect it close-up. Is it cracking or thick with too many layers? Are the gutters and downspouts in good condition? Water is destructive, so pay attention to drainage. Look for soggy conditions, peeling paint, cracking mortar, algae and mildew.

2) Major Systems Inspection

The basement is one of the most telling parts of a property. From there, begin assessing the major systems. Inspect the foundation by studying the exterior walls for sandy, cracked, or deteriorated mortar. To find air leaks, look for cobwebs-spiders spin them near openings to prey upon insects who enter from outside. Explain this entomology lesson to the seller as you pick at those energy inefficient cracks. Check the sump for water which indicates leakage. Water attracts termites, so use your screwdriver to probe joists for rotten wood.

Take notes about the heating and cooling systems. Try to find a date on the furnace or boiler, and on the hot water heater. Look for maintenance records and read the entries. Pay attention to the plumbing. Copper and plastic pipes resist corrosion, unlike galvanized pipes which corrode and crack. Check to see if the electrical system has been upgraded from fuses to circuit breakers. Read the main breaker to learn the amperage (e.g. 110, 220.) The more amperage, the more capacity for amenities. Also, investigate the exhaust duct work from the furnace and hot water heater. Poor connections and soot indicate dangerous, possibly fatal carbon-monoxide leaks.

3) Living Area Inspection

Next, inspect the living area. Check for an alarm system and smoke detectors. Note the smell-it can affect value. Tally the number of bedrooms and bathrooms. (According to FHA, a “bedroom” is not a bedroom if you must walk through it to access another room.) Many older homes lack closet space, so make note. Inspect the composition and condition of floors and walls. Test all windows and doors for ease of use. Also check that all electrical sockets are grounded (three prong) and functional (you can use an inexpensive electrical tester.)

A large part of any home’s appeal is determined by the quality of its kitchen and bathrooms. In the upstairs bathroom, simultaneously flush the toilet and run the sink and shower to test water pressure. Make special note of updates, exhaust fans, storage space, and other amenities such as washer, drier, jacuzzi, etc.

Beside all of your inspection assessments, estimate costs of repair. For help, consult with a general contractor or simply pick up an R.S. Means construction cost guide from the hardware store.

Presenting the Inspection Report

Once you have fully evaluated your inspection data, you can use the various “value-deficiencies” to leverage your case. Remember however, even neglectful owners grow attached to real estate and can be easily offended. Yes, properties in less-than-retail condition should sell for less than retail. Notwithstanding, defects should be presented in a friendly, helpful way. Make it your mission to help the seller find the value of the property. To add credibility and maximize your negotiating potential, enhance your findings with an inspection by an independent third-party.

Concluding Carefully

Although property condition affects value, a profitable transaction is determined by cash flow or equity. Money can fix even the worst looking property. Make your decision based on the numbers, not the condition.

How to Conduct a Residential Property Inspection

Anyone who publishes a list, for example, a top 10 is good to answer some questions: why so many and why these elements were chosen.In this case, simply answer the first question. Obviously, the choice is always a number is arbitrary and ten is a very small number of a task like this, but so far so good for a long time that I can only go to use reference. In contrast, the second question deserves an explanation a little 'more. All sites were belowthinking about choosing a foreigner who wants to find a home for the holiday in Italy. I was anxious to avoid the town. I avoided places so famous that make it almost impossible, such as Cortina d'Ampezzo, Portofino, Chianti, Amalfi, Capri, and so on. Everyone already knows these places, so the inclusion in the list would not help the reader. I chose ten places behind these two simple goals in mind: You had to be available (prices are not stellar), and for the most part,Representatives of the most typical of the Italian territory. I hope to have achieved this task, at least in part. My opinion is true that the choice of this type with a little 'of skepticism should be taken. Far from being definitive, is intended only to arouse interest and stimulate further study ..

The scope of this answer is that until you haveto maintain a substantial portfolio of sufficient momentum in your portfolio, you will have no choice, you must use your home. I think it's fair to say that most people with a home equity, especially if you have held more than two years. Equity is the key to building wealth.
