About
Welcome to the Distressed Property Blog
Few things are as meaningful to an individual as his or her home. The clichés abound—“Home is where the heart is.” “Home for the holidays.” “Home sweet home.” It is perhaps for this reason that the topic of distressed properties is so emotionally charged. Whether you are a distressed homeowner facing foreclosure or a person in a position to help a distressed homeowner, there are a multitude of sentiments involved.
This blog—DistressedPropertyBlog.com—is an opportunity to step into this emotionally-charged space and take an objective, level-headed look at the landscape. Over the coming weeks, months and years, regardless of which side of the issue you find yourself, this blog will provide you with practical tips, strategies and level headed warnings to help you succeed. It is a place where cool heads prevail and where people—and their financial successes and failures—are treated with both dignity and respect.
As you will see, there is no doubt a great deal of money to be made in foreclosure investing, but, more importantly, as we face this national housing crisis, there are also people’s lives to be rebuilt and communities to be strengthened. I invite you to become part of this discussion as we strive to simplify the sometimes obtuse process and help everyone succeed.
Some of the topics I will be addressing in future blog entries include:
- Graceful Exit Strategies to Get Out from Under a House You Can’t Afford
- Negotiating Payment Issues with Lenders
- Trimming Your Losses with a Short Sale
- Researching a Property before Making an Offer
- Evaluating Current Market Conditions
Feel free to leave me a comment or two about the topics you’d like to see covered, and for now, thanks for stopping by and seeing what we’re all about.
