Attention Mortgage Note Holders: Beware of the Bait & Switch when trying to sell your real estate notes says industry leader DICARO & ASSOCIATES, LLC.

Even though the United States is the greatest country for financial investment companies, it seems that there are always a few rotten apples that sours the cider whenever they interact with prospective note sellers who are looking to liquidate their real estate receivable for cash today.

Many prospective clients and mortgage note holders think they are interacting with a reputable company because their marketing material looks professional and the person they are speaking with has a pleasing personality. However, many note sellers are in for a rude awakening if they dont know how to ask the right questions and dont know how to identify the bogus offers when they are made.

These scheming companies know that most people looking to sell their real estate notes are just trying to get top dollar, but dont necessarily know what investment firms operating in the secondary market are realistically willing to pay. Instead of these shady companies taking the time to educate the note holders of the process of selling their mortgage note, they instead offer a ridiculously high price in order to contractually obligate the client and then change the offer to a much lower price weeks and even months later after theyve wasted precious time.

The reality is that no company can accurately give a solid purchase offer without 1) Reviewing the documents that were created in the original transaction, 2) Analyzing the background information of the party responsible for making the payments, including their FICO credit score and report, 3) Obtaining a property valuation, also known as a Brokers Price Opinion or Drive-by Appraisal report at the very least, and 4) Various other factors that are too many to list. To summarize, any company giving offers far and above their competitors, who have not verified items 1 4 above, is most likely operating a Bait & Switch scheme that will leave the note seller worse off than before they started.

If a company is making promises and claims, over the phone, without really taking a hard look at all of the specifics of the deal, then the person trying to sell a mortgage note should be prepared to endure a modification of the terms in the form of a lower offer that could cost them ten of thousands of dollars.

Reputable companies will never make claims or guarantees that some other companies will purport. As Senior Vice President of DICARO & ASSOCIATES, LLC, Nicholas di Caro says, We are not in the business of delivering inflated offers before verifying the variables in a note sale transaction. This practice is deceptive and can financially ruin prospective clients, especially when they are under a time deadline. Any good company will educate the note seller about how we determine the investment grade of each deal and the various ways that we can solve their financial problems

Nicholas di Caro is the Senior Vice President for DICARO & ASSOCIATES, LLC. Operating in all 50 states from their Chicago, Illinois location, they invest in performing and non-performing real estate notes from $ 5,000 to $ 5,000,000. They are actively buying privately held mortgage notes, deeds of trust, and land contracts secured by single family residences, mobile homes with land, and commercial properties. They have the ability to buy notes that other companies have denied, in addition to providing creative purchase options that are new to the industry.

US strong, rest of the world riding the bear says LJM Developments CEO

Burlington, Canada (PRWEB) September 01, 2014

The United States currency, stock market and real estate markets are showing clear signs of progress states Liaquat Mian of LJM Developments in his recent blog entry. The global market as a whole is still a precarious place to be, but on the whole, the North American region is stable and on track to become a bull market by June of next year (Stockwatch by Edmond Jackson, Aug 29 2014).

The US is seeing signs consistent with a recovery, posits Mian, if you look at all three major financial and economic indicators; currency, real estate and the stock markets. The US dollar has rebounded globally (Finances Forex Analysis by H.S. Borji, Aug 28, 2014) showing strong growth against many major currencies including the Euro, Yen and the Pound. The stock market has experienced fluctuations and will continue to do so, Mian believes until after the Dow Jones breaks through the 18,000 mark. Even though the housing and real estate sectors looked slow to respond in 2014, part of the delayed reaction is due to the slow start to job growth explains Mian, but underlying pressures of built up demand (National Association of Realtors | Walter Molony, May 15 2014) and lower inventory will gradually show through in 2015. On the whole, Canada and the US should expect a healthy period of growth through 2015 according to Mian.

However, the rest of the world is still on unstable ground. It is obvious to many that the unrest in places like the Middle East, the Ebola crisis in Africa, and the changing leadership in South American countries is driving uncertainty in emerging markets, says Liaquat.

Even in areas like Dubai, a metropolis that has a healthy investment environment, investors are looking for safer markets to invest into explains Mian – with a projected $ 175 billion USD available for investment and almost one-third slated for the North American real estate market. Part of this is because the underlying fundamentals of the Dubai market are expected to cause a recession and downturn by 2016, postulates Mian.

In currency and interest rate markets, Mian projects the US dollar to remain strong, the Euro to drop below $ 1.30 USD, Canadian and Australian dollars to remain stable where they are, and the Sterling to rise to $ 1.60 USD, making a small gain. In most western markets, Mian projects interest rates to continue to remain where they are through 2020, in order to assure the recovery.

Mian believes that market fundamentals show the path for investors lay in the North American market through 2015, in stocks and real estate.
