Although you may have to wait a year or two after filing, buying a home after bankruptcy is possible. To learn more, read this article, which provides information on securing a post-bankruptcy mortgage loan.

If you are thinking about buying a home after bankruptcy, the first thing you will want to do is determine how long it has been since you filed. The longer you wait, the easier it will be to secure financing. Though most lenders recommend waiting at least two years, it may be possible get a mortgage loan sooner.

Buying a Home 1 Year After Bankruptcy

When buying a home after bankruptcy, you need to show that you have a positive credit history. This is especially true if you do not wait at least two years before applying for a mortgage loan. It is very important that all of the payments you were expected to pay in the last 12 months were paid. Late installment payments could make it difficult to get approved. You may also need a down payment of 3-10 percent to secure the loan.

Buying a Home 2 Years After Bankruptcy

Buying a home after bankruptcy will be much easier if you wait for at least two years after your bankruptcy was discharged. This will give you time to build new credit and show that you can make your payments on time. I am sure you will be more interested in look for real estate printing, since you now have more ability to buy a new home. After a two-year period has ended, financing and reasonable interest rates will be relatively easy to secure. If you have a good payment history and the lender is able to verify your income, you may even be able to get 100% financing.

What is the key to getting noticed, being remembered, and getting referrals?  It’s simple actually, the answer is building strong, lasting client relationships.  The most effective way to do this is by keeping in constant contact with them and leaving a gift behind to remind them of you later.  A phrase used for this type of self advertising is “Pop By”.  You want to Pop By clients, old and new, on a regular basis.

And it doesn’t matter which market you find yourself in.  If it’s booming, you need to keep in constant contact with all your many clients and hit the pavement to get those FSBOs in your trusted hands.  When it’s a slow, dragging market, you need spend a lot of time building long lasting relationships with the few clients you have at the time so they think of you every time hear of a friend who wants to sell.  And you need to hit the pavement and gobble up those listings that have expired.  After all, who wants to be sitting at the office making cold calls all day?  Every agent’s dream is to be working completely by referral.  And this is done by keeping in constant communication with your clients and building new relationships with their referrals.

So what’s the best way to do this simple key thing? The answer is simple and FUN!  The most effective way to do the above is by quickly stopping by and bringing the client, or prospective client, a small personalized gift that can be left behind to remind them of who you are.   The main point is for this gift to be personalize with your contact information. This doesn’t necessarily mean you have to purchase the minimum of 300 letter openers (as cool as they are) with your logo painted on them.  You can do this much more economically, creatively and with a lot more flexibility by creating your own tags or putting your business card with the gift.

So start a campaign!  Whether it’s gobbling up those expireds, getting the latest FSBOS to trust in you, or keeping your past clients within arms reach, you need to start a campaign that’s all your own. Use gifts that are small, inexpensive and something you can easily personalize by attaching a tag or business card.  Another key point to this style of gift is to add a smart, witty tag line so the client actually remembers what they read. You can make cookies and write “I’ve got the recipe to your success.”  This is a concept  advocated by some major business coaching companies here in the states.  www.harpoonmarketing.com focuses on creating these items for real estate agents who don’t have the time (or creativity) to create their own.

Are you going to focus on gobbling up those expired listings?  Search the MLS every morning to grab that listing that expired at 11:59pm last night.  Be at their door hours after it has expired and represent them before anyone else get’s the opportunity.  For expired you want to bring an item that’s not too pricy – you don’t want to invest too much in someone that might close the door on you.  But is definitely something to break the ice when you randomly show up on their door step.  Something that catches their attention and/or entertains them.  I have a client that gives little miniature flash lights to all her expireds and “Spot Lights” their home to get it sold.  Another clients using little tool shaped candies to say that she has “all the right tools to get the job done.”
Some key points:

• Have you already branded yourself? Pick gifts that highlight your brand.
• Use several different “levels” of gifts.  Have smaller, less expensive gifts for lower priority clients and nicer slightly more expensive gifts for your A clients.
• Bring gifts specifically for your clients children or pets.  When the clients sees that you have paid attention and know about their family and personal life, they are more willing to trust in you and take you in as part of that life.
• Specify it to the season or holidays.  Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas make this type of marketing great fun.
• Get creative and have fun!

Point being, spend some time building a brand and hitting the pavement to really get to know your clients.  Besides, sitting in the office simply calling to say hi get’s really boring.  So get creative, get out there, and get busy!

Right now I’m up in Bend Oregon looking at potential real estate investment properties. I drove up here from San Francisco last Friday and will be here until the 28th. Oregon has really boomed (especially Bend) over the past several years and it shows. I remember coming up here years ago and seeing single family homes going for $250k. Now the same style is going for $450k.

My observations:

• More people are moving up here to retire
• Investors bought up properties since CA or other west coast states are too pricey
• Oregon was undervalued or at least perceived that way

Now I actually came up here looking for a vacation/rental home for myself. Something I could rent out 75% of the year via a rental agency and vacation the other 25% of the time. What I’ve found so far isn’t too bad assuming vacancy rates will stay low. There are also a lot of inventory since local owners are trying to cash out. That gives me the advantage and I can low ball on the offer.

How did I find property to look at?
I first narrowed down my search to a single location — Bend. I then hopped on the internet and printed out a list of potential properties. I called the realtor for each and setup time for showing. During the time I wasn’t looking at properties, I crunched the numbers to make sure everything worked. If the realtor told me vacancy rates are usually 25% I bumped that number to 35% and then did the math.

I’m still evaluating properties and should have a decision by this weekend.

Where is the real estate bottom?

Well, it is not as far away as you think. If you listen to the news every night, you may think it will never get here. But numbers are out with some good news.

Rob thought we would see a real estate bottom mid 2009 but now there is actual economic data that supports his theory. He wrote a post yesterday called Economic and Housing Recovery Starts Mid 2009.

Check out that post and yes…there are charts and graphs (does Rob write a post without them?) but the numbers don’t lie.

And if news of a real estate bottom gets you excited about buying in the near future, then get a copy of the Mortgage Advantage and get excited about finding a competent, transparent mortgage broker too.

Most property investors that have been active over the last few years have probably considered looking overseas in their quest for decent investment opportunities. I myself have, on countless occasions, looked into overseas property but most of the time find myself put off by what seems a very difficult and long winded process. One angle I do love the idea of is buying an overseas investment property in an area where you would enjoy holidaying but also getting the added bonus of good capital growth.

I know there are plenty of overseas opportunities out there which give you 30 days free use a year, but how strong are these as investment opportunities and should you be governed by this or not?

I think the first thing to look into is what you expect to gain out of overseas property investment?

• Medium to long term capital growth
• Rental Yield
• Buy to sell opportunity
• An investment to holiday in as well

Now if your overall aim is to make money from this overseas investment then you should probably take it that if you can get an element of “free holiday” a year it will be a bonus. As far as looking into the individual overseas investment opportunities available I will not go into specific countries now.

What I will say is that I have been investing in the UK for the last 4 years and can tell you that the tried and tested methods of spotting a good opportunity are really not that different wherever you invest. Look at the historical capital growth, the comparables in the area, rental comparables, speak to rental agents about the occupancy rate for these overseas investment opportunities.

All of these are points which are very easy to do in the UK but I think a lot of investors feel it is too hard to do the same on overseas property. If you start your due diligence with a list of points that you need to satisfy before you proceed, and not stopping until you fulfill all of these points then you shouldn’t go far wrong.

English is 2nd most widely spoken language in the world so you should be able to find someone that can help you with most overseas investments. Dig as far as you can into the history of the site you are looking at, if possible look on forums where overseas investors have purchased.

You really can do the same level of due diligence on overseas property as you can in the UK, it may take longer but it is possible. Don’t take any other person of companies word on the overseas opportunity you are looking at, remember due diligence is key!

Do you have enough in your pension scheme to comfortably retire? Will you have by the time retirement looms? How much do you need to retire? Does around £25,000 a year sound about right — this means you will need a retirement pot of around £500,000!

Various Friends and Family members have pensions through work, they pay in around £300 per month and this gives you a pension of around £108,000 of your own money if you work there 30 years. Now say the company you work for matches that money, that’s £216,000, after 30 years of work and an annual pension of just £10,800!

Ok, say I can show you how to have a decent sized pension and you needn’t put anymore than around £300 in… interested? The Answer is Property Investment, more specifically Buy to Let.

Take a £200,000 flat in Manchester. Buy at a 15% discount (lots of these deals around!)

Rent at £1000 pcm.
Management fee of £100 pcm
Take home £900 pcm.
Buy to Let Mortgage at 5.8% of £200,000 = £1,185 repayment pcm.

This will cost you £285 per month.

Say property goes up a conservative 5% per annum over the next 30 years. In 2037 that same property should be worth £864,388 and you will own it outright! As far as rental income is concerned. Taking a rental increase of 5% per annum you should receive around £4321 pcm or £51,852 per year.

Now I know that your pension scheme will also increase in value, however, the actual monthly or annual return is not what interests me. The point that interests me is that your retirement fund will decrease as time goes on. Say you manage to save up £500,000, in 20 years time, taking an annual income of £25,000 all the money is gone!

Using Buy to Let Property as your pension, the property retains its value and you get your income from the rental of that property. So not only do you have a property worth £864,388 which you can draw on whenever you need, you also have a yearly income of £51,852.

Saying that, I would like to end up with a balanced portfolio, I have some money in Shares and would like to add to my portfolio as well, perhaps the secret is not to put all of your eggs in one basket?

In conclusion, the safer bet would seem to be a pension scheme, but I will point out that over a historical average, property has doubled every seven years, this is around 5% per annum. The same goes for rentals.

A friend of mine recently bought his first house and was amazed a year later when he came to remortgage, that it had risen £30,000. He pointed out that this was more than he made in a year, to which I pointed out….imagine if you had 2!
