Make no mistake about it. All the best indicators are telling us that the coming months will see a dramatic increase in property foreclosures in the United States.
Just two days ago on March 13, an Associated Press article reported that late mortgage payments and foreclosures had reached a 3 ½ year high. The alarming news even made the front page of the New York Times on March 11, when “Crisis Looms in Mortgages,” an article by Gretchen Morgenson, described some startling realities. Not only are more property owners losing their homes to foreclosures, now some mortgage-lending institutions themselves are beginning to close their doors. They were lenders that were writing sub-prime mortgages to customers who really could not manage their loans - often buyers who were already carrying excessive credit card debt.
It looks as though things will get worse before they improve, which will be a very bad thing for people who cannot carry their mortgages. But it will also be an advantageous time for real estate investors to acquire foreclosed properties.
Buying foreclosures and profiting from them is challenging. If you're new to real estate investing, you need to know what you're facing. Although the profits from foreclosure investing can be huge, there is an awful lot to know in order to avoid the problems that can occur. You need the skills to:
Remember, too, that buying foreclosed properties does not mean taking advantage of unfortunate people who are unable to hold onto their homes. There are many ways to structure deals and make huge profits. I’d urge you to take a close look at the Real Estate Foreclosure Coaching Program that I have created for Trump University. Opportunities like these don’t come along every day. Act decisively, and you can make significant profits in the months ahead.

This whole event brought me little to no comfort since when I crunched the numbers they didn't match. Within days I sat down in the bank's office and with great authority asked this expert to point out where it was we were to actually own this home. To me the home would own us.
I walked away from the bank without a home, however I know I did us all a huge favor that day, because I don't think we would have had dinner on the table for the kids all these years if I hadn't.
Shortly after that we were divorced. I could have been quiet and modest and captured the home in our divorce papers, leaving child maintenance to auto debit the loan but instead I was honest and realistic.
I don't know that my former husband would have had the style Mr Trump had to admire his former wife, however to this day I firmly believe I avoided contributing to what could have been a very messy bank statement for either one of us. Certainly had I not avoided this mistake my former husband could not have remarried as often as he did...
The banks need to stand by their community of families and not just that of the corporate zoo. It looks like this may just happen in the future. Canada has been the leading example when it comes to credit cards, I don't see why we can't be on top of the lending tree as well.
Cheers !
So for those who are exploring opportunities in this space, go for it. But Mr. Gottlieb raises an excellent point - don't take advantage of the unfortunate and if you have a heart at all, realize that sometimes you will have some challenging questions to answer if you cannot come up with a true win/win and foreclosure is your only option. Be open to creative solutions that work for everyone and be prepared for what could be required of you if creativity doesn't deliver a solution.
Great article, Mr. Gottlieb.

Quit spending people. Pay your house off, sell the car for summer anyway and car pool with the kids and stuff!
Don't let this hot shot steal your house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Where's the Banker? I think the bankers should step up to the plate and help these people manage their money better. The Banker should assist these people in amalgamating their debt load so they can keep their houses and the economy can bloom.

I'm sorry, I just don't get what you said. Why should a banker step up to the plate, as you say, to help people manage their money? These people should know or educate themselves before they get themselves into anything. People should learn to be responsable for their actions, their lives and their money.
