WAKE UP AMERICA! The single biggest THREAT to the real estate industry EVER! And why we should SHUT UP about this moron burning the Koran

Patrick Precourt — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 18:13:04 +0000

So you say you don’t get involved in politics? If you are a real estate agent, a real estate investor, make a living that is any way tied to real estate, own a house, want to buy a house or you’re a tax payer. Then it’s time to GET INVOLVED!!!!

I’m going introduce to you the concepts behind the New Cap and Trade Bill that is effortlessly sliding through the legislative process as we speak and if it becomes law, will officially be the largest single most damaging laws EVER passed as they relate to the real estate industry and our economy as a whole.

Listen in as I cover this potentially damaging topic and also my take on why we should just SHUT UP about this moronic pastor down in Florida threatening to burn a copy of the Koran. Visit www.fridaycoffeebreak.com for more real estate videos from Patrick Precourt and North Shore Enterprises!

Patrick Precourt — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 21:26:52 +0000

Riddle me this? How much money should you have to spend, for college, only to get in debt up to your eyeballs, before you even get a job? The answer is: A heck of as lot! Listen in as I cover this hot topic and why more lenders (both REO and Short Sale) are disallowing transactional funding proof of fund letters. We will also discuss whether or not short sale lenders can put deed restrictions on a property when they are not the owners, plus whether or not REO banks can put deed restrictions on properties. How and why Home Owners Associations/Condo Associations and municipal utility agencies, become first position debt owners before 1st or 2nd lien holders. We will discuss how to get paid a large fee on a short sale property without taking title and how Chase’s discount guidelines when they send their 2^nd lien bad debt to their recovery department, and much more.

Patrick Precourt — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 17:15:21 +0000

Did I get your attention?
Good, because that is the latest thing that our tax dollars are going to be paying for. The program is called the Emergency Homeowner Loan Program and is going to cost us $3 Billion Dollars.

We will also cover whether you can short sale a property when the homeowner files Bankruptcy, whether or not you can “assign” or “flip” an REO (a bank owned property), plus how to track down a mortgage that was assigned from one lender to another and much more.

Disclosure, Disclosure, Disclosure — What Exactly Do I Need in Writing to “Protect” Myself?

Patrick Precourt — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 23:22:12 +0000

Disclosure is the number one thing that real estate investors and licensed real estate agents have to do in today’s real estate climate. When you are sitting with a seller or talking to them on the phone you have to make sure you are crystal clear on what you want to accomplish. If you are an investor “tell them” you are an investor, if you are looking to assign a contract that you have on their house “tell them”, if you want to do a short sale flip “tell them”, well you get the point! Disclose everything! On this week’s Friday Coffee Break we not only cover the proper disclosures that you need sign but we also cover what kind of language is considered “too vague” on a short sale acceptance letter, how to renegotiate a lower offer after you have already gotten a short sale acceptance letter, the important steps you need to take when you reselling a property to an FHA buyer so you DON’T screw up your deal, a clarification on the HAFA program and what investors the program covers and much more.
