On Friday January 15, 2010 we posted the FHA’s announcement to suspend their now infamous 90-day anti-flipping rule for 1 year, effective February 1, 2010.
Yes, this is great news for investors trying to flip properties to FHA Buyers!  But after reading carefully through it myself, I see there are also some caveats and important [...]

So I just got back from a late night donut run, and found some titillating news for investors awaiting my return…

Hey, guys – So the deal is, I’ve been unable to post here for quite some time.  Seems December was the month for our site to be targeted by some Saudi hacker who wanted to use our server to wage Jihad on the world wide web.
But here we are, about a month and a half [...]

So, as you likely know already, it was signed into law on Nov. 6 that not only extends the $8,000 stimulus tax credit for “first-time” home buyers until next spring, but also provides a $6,500 tax credit for some current homeowners who buy another home.

HR 1728, which you can view in its entirety here, deals with a plethora of mortgage-related issues, mostly around limited [...]

It’s kind of a “white paper” special report that lays out a workable plan for how you can use your part [...]

So Than Merrill’s “Wholesaling University” opened its doors today.
Posturing itself as, “…a systematic, classroom-style approach to continuing education in today’s wholesaling arena.” it makes some pretty bold promise of comprehensively .

UPDATE: Please note that Wholesaling University is now closed to new charter members. I’m sure they’ll reopen at some point, [...]
