Dear
Lisa, 
Hello to everyone from hot and balmy
Florida. We are on week two of our children's big
birthday bash. My daughter, Lindsay, just turned 5 and
Chase is turning 8. We spent a week at DisneyWorld and
this week we are staying in a condo at Cocoa Beach. We
have been enjoying the great beaches and thank goodness
for the swimming pool.
We have been watching the news and of
course there is more talk about foreclosures and the
governments decision to try and fix the
problem.
What are others
saying...
"Some pundits think the rising foreclosures
will bankrupt our economy, causing pain for people who
lose their business or job as a ripple effect of all
these foreclosures. Others think that the rise in
foreclosures is a healthy adjustment to the end of a
long real estate boom, and is nature's way of taking
care of a free-market economic cycle."-Bill
Bronchick
Only time will tell! But while the
government is deciding what to do, now is the time to
invest in
foreclosures.
Where are
we investing...
California Foreclosures up 261% from 07'
levels
Los Angeles Times
"DataQuick reports today that foreclosures in
California soared 33% from the first quarter to the
second quarter of 2008, and are running 261% ahead of
year-ago levels."
More, from DataQuick: "Lenders started
foreclosure proceedings on a record number of California
homeowners last quarter, the result of declining home
values and the rampant spoilage of a batch of especially
risky home loans made in late 2005 and
2006."
Are you investing in
this market? What is stopping you?
The key to being successful is building your
team. Every seasoned investor to the beginning
investor needs to work with others. I would rather have
a small part of several deals than the whole part
of zero deals.
What are some other things you can do:
-Build your list
If you do not have the cash to
buy up foreclosures then build a list of investors that
do. When you find a great deal call your list and assign
the deal to the investor.
-Pick your area of interest
Foreclosures are everywhere. Pick
an area and have an understanding of the school
districts, crime rates, best neighborhoods, etc.
-Determine where you will get your leads
There are a lot of online sources to
get foreclosure leads (realty trac at www.realtytrac.com), local agents,
MLS, banks, other investors and so many other
sources. -Learn to run the numbers
Not every foreclosure out there is a
good deal. Learn from others what deals they are
finding. For example in CA finding homes for 65 to
70 cents on the dollar. You need to figure the
after repaired value and determine the value at 70
cents on the dollar, minus repairs, closing cost and any
other fees involved (inspections, etc.) this is your
offer amount.
-Follow through
If you are investing in a specific
area then it will not take long for your name to get out
if you do not do what you state you will do. But
the good part is that the opposite is true.
This is a very simplified list of just a few things
you can do to invest in foreclosures. The important
thing to remember is to get started or learn a new
strategy if you have been investing for
awhile. Join real estate clubs, attend webinars,
read books and just ask others those lingering
questions. So are you ready? Contact income_homes@yahoo.com to get a list
of foreclosures we have available or learn how your
money can earn 10% to 12%.
I still believe that it is important to have a
diversified portfolio so below is other investment
opportunities.
Wishing you continued investment
success,
Lisa Marston

| Only 5 months left to invest in some
areas of the GO
ZONE!
For more information,
visit the IRS website: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p925.pdf
We still have several projects in
the Go Zone:
Rankin
County and Madison County are two of the fastest growing
counties in Mississippi!
Rankin
County is a transportation hub within miles of the
Jackson International Airport, and is earning a
reputation as a major distribution center. Both counties
are right outside of the state's capitol, Jackson, and
new businesses are constantly coming into the area
because of the population growth, strong economic growth
and many baby-boomers moving to the area for a "better
life." Rents are around $1150 to
$1200.
With
over 4,000 employees, Nissan is one of the largest
companies and has created more jobs through vendors and
suppliers. Rents are high in these areas and Jackson, MS
has seen steady appreciation (10% to 13% thru the 2nd
Qtr of 2006 by the NAR).
Introducing
Stonebridge
Located in Brandon, MS, Stonebridge is a
403-acre master-planned community. Single family homes
are complimented by many amenities including a 51-acre
lake, community clubhouse with pool, walking trails and
much more. Stonebridge is conveniently located near
schools and shopping and rents are around $1200. Call us today for
more details!
Discover Orleans
Place
Located in Ocean Springs, MS, Orleans
Place features over 200 3-bedroom, 3-bath duplexes with
prices starting at $265,000. All properties include a
fenced backyard and patio, have a full appliance package
(including washer and dryer), and have turnkey property
management in place. Don't wait on this
one. Call us today!
Opportunities in
Alabama
We have several homes available in Mobile,
Alabama. Rents are around $1100 and home prices start at
$130,000!

New
Investment Opportunity: Gold Mine in
Arizona
Are
you concerned with the declining value of the
dollar?
Sy
Harding states, "...at this point the decline of the
dollar has gone too far. Its negatives have begun to
offset its positives. Foreign countries have been
holding much of their capital reserves in US dollars for
decades but have been making noises, even threats, to
shift some of those reserves to other
currencies."
I was
concerned as well and started looking into metals -GOLD-
as an investment avenue. Here's some interesting
news:
April 03,
a.m. (USAGOLD) -- Gold
has probed back above the $900 level after Fed
Chairman Bernanke acknowledged the possibility of
recession in testimony before the JEC on Wednesday. This
theme was repeated in front of the Senate Banking
Committee this morning. With oil consolidating and the
dollar still somewhat supported, scope is seen for
further base-building activity in the yellow metal
before it ultimately resumes its
uptrend.
Yes, you
read that right - it said $900 an ounce. Well, I got
excited when I read that news and shortly afterwards I
was introduced to Ken Keltner. If you would like to find
out more information about why you should find other
avenues to invest in, please give me a call about this
exciting
opportunity. |
Boom Expected in Assisted
Living
There are many elderly
people in our society who need  assistance with some basic daily
tasks but refuse to give up living a somewhat
independent lifestyle. Still in its infancy, assisted
living provides senior citizens the opportunity to live
in a semi-independent environment. This sector of the
healthcare industry is going to explode in the next 10
to 20 years due to the large number of baby boomers
headed toward their golden years. Assisted living is
housing plus supportive services for adults who are not
safe living independently. Services include meals,
supervision and overseeing everyday life tasks such as
dressing, bathing, eating and administering
medication.
Why is The Foresthill Group, Inc looking
to focus on Assisted Living Facility
developments?
-
In the year 2010, this number is
projected to rise to 39,409,000, an upsurge of 17.5%
from 1995.
-
By the year 2030, the senior population
is expected to rise to 69,379,000, an increase of
106.8%.
-
The health care industry accounted for
15.3% of US GDP in 2003 and is expected to account for
18.4% of GDP by 2013.
-
People cannot control when they are ill
and this insulates the industry from economic
cycles.
-
Health care providers yearn for stable
locations and patient relationships making them an
ideal tenant.
-
The health care industry will continue
to grow as the US population and average life span
increase.
The Foresthill Group (www.theforesthillgroup.com) and Sante Properties (www.santeproperties.com) would like to pull at least 6 of these
projects together this year. We are looking at SC, NC,
MS, MT, and OH at this time.
Please contact Lisa for additional
information.

Project Update:
Anasazi
The end is in near...
I know we have all been waiting a long time for
this project to come to completion. We have dealt with
storms and hurricanes that have restricted the amount of
supplies to other states, shortages of workers, changes
to the building and the mere fact that the structure
took longer to build than the builder expected but we
are almost there.
Lance, the Remax agent involved with this project
has met with the builder, walked the project and has
taken several pictures. We will be hosting a webinar in
the next few weeks with Lance and Vince the builder for
the project and discuss the next steps.
If you haven't already...start your loan process!
If you need a recommendation for a mortgage broker just
let us know. Also, keep an eye out for the email
inviting you to our
webinar. |
