Real Estate Realities With The RebelBroker

We discuss all the latest current events of real estate from the perspective of a 20+ year real estate veteran!

In this weeks show we will spend some time talking about distressed properties - short sales and foreclosures - and how they are likely to change in 2013. We will also take some time to look at the renting landscape for 2013. Of course, we will cover lots of other real estate news and might just have time for a totally off topic segment toward the end, so tune in!

We take a look back and what worked and what did not in 2012

It is going to be a mixed bag in todays show. Tune in for all the latest real estate news.

Had a great conversation with my "inside man" over at Bank of America. Some interesting updates on what BofA is up to in the world of Short Sales and such. We will discuss. We will talk a bit more about where things are going with the political landscape more defined. Plus, the FHA is in trouble, short sales rules changing and the worst economic numbers in a year.

Now that we know who the president will be for the next 4 years, does that give us any more clues on what to expect in real estate? That and lots of other news on todays show.

Lease options are a great way to go for folks that believe the right time to buy is right now, but just don't have the cash to manage a down payment. We will also talk about what bank is on my "You gotta be kidding" list. Also, consider this a "Sick as a a dog" edition of Real Estate Realities as we see how a virtual plethora of sinus, fever, cough, nausea and ache medication effects someone trying to do a live show! Could be fun!

Normally, we would expect to start seeing a drop in the number of buyers out there, but we are not. We will discuss that and so much more in this weeks show.

What is killing deals most frequently today? How can you work to prevent it? We will discuss this and much more on todays show

Regular listeners will recognize this topic. I have discussed why these bulk sales of foreclsoures are a bad idea. Now some others agree and are adding some other good reasons to the pot. That and a whole lot more in this weeks show! Tune in live!

Some news bouncing around that financiers are securitizing rentals like they did mortgages. Good or bad thing? We will discuss it on this weeks show!

This is the most frequent question I get. I have tried to provide answers that take into account as many factors as I see effecting this. With the Feds recent decision to engage in a third round of quantitative easing (IE: printing money), I decided to sit down and look again at the latest items that influence real estate and I am going to simply tell you what I think you should do and why. Of course, we will also hit the big news items relating to real estate.

We will be taking a look at the news from the real estate world. We will also take some time to talk about the part investors are playing in the market and how too many of them are forgetting that you make your many when you buy your property, not when you sell it. Tune in for the latest news and opinions.

In this weeks show we take a look at how much the market has changed over the last few months and where it is going from here. We are going to try and come up with a plan for how to move forward from here and get the best deal.

Yes, it has been one of THOSE weeks. I have been beaten over the head with just how HORRIBLE the typical agent is at his or her job. Not by one, but EVERY SINGLE AGENT I have had to interact with this week. Thats right, it has been an incompetency shut out this week and I need to share! Expect venting.
