Flipping America 390, How to Buy Foreclosures, Pt 1

Some are saying that we are facing another housing crisis and the first sign of it will be exploding defaults and foreclosures after the bans are lifted. I DO agree there will be at least a bump in defaults and foreclosures. Why? Because some of the business that shut down will remain shut and there is a percentage of people out there who will not be able to find equivalent employment. This is going to create an opportunity for those who know how to put deals together, solve borrower problems, and/or those who have the cash to bid at the courthouse steps.

So I went out and got the Queen of Foreclosures, Darlene Coquerel, to join us for a call with the Flipping America REIA. It has been one of the most popular calls we\\u2019ve ever done and the content is going to take a couple of episodes to share with you, perhaps more. I\\u2019ve bought quite a few foreclosures myself - over 700 - but Darlene once bought that many in a single day. Between the two of us we know a thing or two about the process. And we are going to get that to you in just a moment.\\xa0

Music intro

I don\\u2019t quite believe our housing market will be wrecked and here are my reasons why:\\xa0

  1. Most of the forbearance agreements are allowing the forgiven amounts to be added to the end of the loans and therefore when prior employment returns, ability to repay returns in like manner.\\xa0
  2. We started this pandemic with a critical housing shortage. New home construction has declined, thus exacerbating the situation.
  3. Interest rates are at an all time low.
  4. Increased demand and low interest rates may keep price pressure upward.\\xa0
  5. There may be a bump in the number of foreclosures but this will be offset by the factors I just mentioned.\\xa0
