REO Goldminer -- Is It for You?

By Steve Harwood

I have stumbled across a new product, REO Goldminer, that is a game changer for all the entrepreneurial real estate investors out there. If you have spent any time trying to find REOs you realize how challenging it can be to find quality deals or quality information. The brick wall that most investors are faced with when searching for REOs often causes them to resort to alternative marketing efforts. Have you ever had to post Bandit Signs, send out thousands of postcards or direct mail pieces or run classified ads in your local, barely read newspaper? And even worse, numerous real estate investors try calling those that are on the edge of losing their home, looking to come up with a win-win solution for everybody. It isn't usually received that way though unfortunately.

Assuming you could create a perfect real estate investing solution, you would most likely imagine a solution that brings the best deals to your computer with virtually no effort, and little cost. Even better, we wouldn't have any of that wasteful marketing effort that have been your only solution until now. An investing utopia similar to this would allow you to recover your time, save your money, and prevent stress. It appears that this system has been built and made available in REO Goldminer.

REO Goldminer has been out in a beta version up to this point and hasn't really officially had a launch to bring it to the masses. Seemingly, in mid-May that is going to change. As I understand it, if they reach a certain number of clients they will be closing the doors until existing clients leave, which seems unlikely. Waiting for someone to leave before you get in sort of deal. The big question is what do the creators claim this REO Goldminer system will do.

Listed below are a handful of the key features that REO Goldminer is claiming to offer. It allows you to search for REOs in each and every state. It can also drill down to the city level. The program allows the users to select the discounts they are interested in. Price can be searched by maximum and minimum. The output of the REO Goldminer will give investors, agent contact info, address, city, zip code, list price, etc. Additionally, for investors who require it, REO Goldminer provides them with an estimate of overall value. When you decide you are prepared for offers, REO Goldminer positions you to make two to 25 offers/day. This is not the first time the people behind all this have built a program for this industry and it looks like this one really takes the cake.

Right now we are working on getting a word with the people behind REO Goldminer that we will be able to bring to you via our review blog located at REOGoldminerReview.com. Visit our website now and see what additional review info we can provide.

Really though, if this program provides what it says it does, then strong consideration must be given to this solution versus your existing business model. One deal means thousands and luckily most investors don't even know about this yet! - 23196

Private Money is a Must for Investors

By Steve Jacobsen

The most frequent excuse people use for not getting involved in real estate investing, other than fear of failing, is lack of financing. In reality, it has really not been easier or more attractive than now to invest in real estate. Previously, the only options around for private money loans were financing through banks or high interest loans made available by hard money lenders. However, banks often require a substantial down payment, usually 20%, a ton of paperwork, and a daunting underwriting process that has kills many a deal.

The alternative has been to use hard money loans, however rates are typically sky high, which means the transaction must have substantial margin for the investor. As we already know, lending is not nearly as accessible as it has been in the past, but the credit markets do show signs of improvement. Banks that are open to lending money today are requiring a hefty down payment and excellent credit from the borrow. Moreover, it seems hard money lenders are charging exorbitant rates because they're aware that borrowers have limited options.

While the current economic downturn has created issues with investors, it also offers outstanding investment opportunities for those who recognize this. This market has opened the doors for a new breed of loans called transactional funding, which is normally used to fund short sales, and private money, which is similar to hard money. Private money loans are preferable to most investors because the terms are generous and the investor has more control over the deal.

There are a number of ways to raise private money for deals - wealthy individuals, pooled funds, brokers, etc. The erratic moves in the stock market and global capital markets has made many investors running for more secure places to put their money.

Keep in mind the perspective the private money lenders may have. Where do you believe he would prefer to place his money...in the stock market, which has been incredibly volatile, or a local property investment that would have substantial equity? No need to guess which option makes more sense. That's primarily why investors are successful in getting private money to fund their deals.

While banks will eventually open their doors and begin lending again, private money lenders offer a new breed of lending that's probably going to stay around. - 23196

Learn The Advantages of Forex Trading

By Bart Icles

With a daily volume of more than 3.2 million U.S. dollars, the foreign exchange is indisputably the most liquid financial market in the world. Simply put, it is the trading of almost all the currencies in the world. Since forex trading involves selling and buying different currencies from all over the world and profiting from the differences of the current exchange rates, it can yield high profits. This is a very good advantage especially if you're looking to earn big, however, the disadvantage in playing in the forex market is that is can also be very risky. This is because forex trading is speculative in nature, that is, a lot of its activities are largely based on guided speculations, and there is only a low percentage of market activity that represent companies' and governments' fundamental currency conversion needs.

Forex trading is directly taking place between the two entities who are necessary participants to make a trade possible. It can take place over the phone or over the electronic networks all over the globe. The main forex trading centers are New York in the United States, Tokyo in Japan, Sydney in Australia, Frankfurt in Germany, and London in the United Kingdom. Having these centers in place makes sure that the forex market is trading 24 hours.

Gauging whether putting your stake in the forex market is worth it or not can be done when one is given enough education on the advantages and disadvantages that the forex market entails. Some of its advantages are: 1. The liquidity of the forex market is like no other. This ensures price stability and narrow "spreads," that is, the difference between the asking rate and the bid. 2. It showcases a high leveraging capacity which enables one to have a position worth up to a hundred times more than one's margin deposit. 3. Trading occurs 24 hours, from Sunday evening (8:00 PM GMT) to Friday evening (10:00 pm GMT). This gives one the much-needed opportunity to be able to do something about bad news affecting the forex markets. 4. There is profit potential even in falling markets. Since forex trading is very dynamic in nature, there are a lot of opportunities to earn profits. Say for example the USD is stronger against the EUR and vice versa, you can sell EUR and you can buy it back later at a lower price. 5. Forex trading occurs without parties having commissions. DISADVANTAGE: 1. Since it is a very dynamic market, it can present a high risk if one does not watch it too closely.

Having a forex trading system shouldn't be complicated. Once a system works, one should keep using it. - 23196

Automated Forex Trading Software - How it Makes Money For You

By Brian Bodine

If you are new to trading in the Forex market then you probably already know that 95% of all newcomers to the Forex market will make a loss and that taking each and every sing edge that you can get is important. One thing that many new speculators have begun to turn to is that of the automated Forex trading software. These Forex trading programs are designed with advanced heuristic algorithms whose sole job is to take the technical and historical data of a currency pair and match that with the current trends as a means of determining what the currency will actually do Once it has determined what the currency pairs will do, it will simply go ahead and make the trade for you.

Basically, once you have downloaded your4 trading platform program and gotten an automated Forex trading software, you can set-up your trading platform then set-up the software to run on top of it and interact with it. Once this is done, you will be able to trade on the Forex market 24 hours a day and 7 days a week which just also happens to be the time that the Forex market is open year round.

Looking to an automated Forex trading software to help you can be important for a number of reasons. For starters, it is a great way for a beginner to learn to trade in the Forex market by monitoring how the software works. This can occur two different ways, the first can be through simulation such as a demo account with the company you will be choosing to trade with, or it can be done live.

The best suggestion though is that it is left for the demo account allowing you a chance to test the program and get it setup-p to trade how you want it to. Once it is set-up and you feel confident enough with it, then you can go ahead and use it live, but never forget to test the software prior to going live with it.

Furthermore, you can still opt to trade manually during the time that you can spend sitting in front of the computer and let the automated Forex trading software work while you are busy with other tasks or are sleeping as a means of taking advantage of the market 24 hours a day. - 23196
