The green eyed gremlin of greed....click here

GMAC

click here cars and homes......speaking of which, GMAC is the proud owner of 55 broward properties as of today, I never knew they did home loans.....

thanks 140 we saw the article about fannie renting earlier: here it is from wsj:click here or everyone will have a house whether they want one or not...almost... some of these loans as I understand could be more than 600k? I might be wrong.amazing. everyone wants to prop things up. or is so sure that the inflated prices of earlier will return and are doing their level best to assure same. not.....

Game

why the game is rigged;click here and then there's the shadow inventory being held back by banks who want to manipulate the market. If I owned almost 1k properties I would probaby do the same thing.

short sales: click here

clogging:click here

Deliberate:click here or put options in real estate 101.

walking away

click here I know someone who did this, took the money borrowed and bought another home in another state and now is getting that loan refinanced, amazing. Im doing something wrong here....

How to get 100k a year tax free almost.....we happened to know someone who lives in this neighborhood, lien here:click here pur chase here:click here .you can now view foreclosure sales for sarasota county with calendar at: http://www.sarasota.realforeclosee.com, looks like lots more in the pipe line. note these are not liens but sales. house is a tear down in our opinion be interesting to see what it eventually sells for.

with all the hype its difficult to know whats real when the person telling you something has a vested interest in convincing you of something.

speaking of shadow inventory: (broward records only)
bank ownership as of 11/3/09, note some may be actual banking sites, commercial property etc.
