It is fairly common for real estate companies and mortgagebrokers to use leads. There is a difference between mortgagelead generation and real estate generation. Mortgage leadgeneration deals with people who need to refinance their homesor apply for loans, while real estate lead generation is aservice that connects potential buyers with real estate agents.

Cash Now For Your Real Estate Contract

Thu, 04 Mar 2010 02:12:03 -0600

BACKGROUND AND FUNDAMENTALS The private mortgage industry is a relatively young businesswith roots that can be traced directly to the emergence of seller-backed, or owner, financing.Prior to the very high interest rates of the late s and s, seller-backed financingwas not a common financing option. The only loan option for most real estate buyers wasthrough a bank or savings and loan institution. But with interest rates topping out at percent, financing for real estate was either unavailable or too unattractive for mostbuyers. Real estate sales plummeted. Desperate, those with real estate on the market turned toinnovative, unusual ways to attract buyers. One of the quickest to catch on wasseller-backed financing. The seller would "hold paper" on the property, allowing the buyer to pay amortgage directly to the seller. Simple and straightforward, the financing optionappealed to both the seller and the buyer because it beat the high interest rates and circumven...

Tue, 23 Feb 2010 07:06:28 -0600

Are you excited about the upside potential of China but can'tpull the trigger because of the significant downside risk? Hereis a way to invest in China growth and still sleep at night. China has been the largest economy in the world for eighteen ofthe past twenty centuries and it is clearly determined to regainits role as the hegemonic power in Asia and then challenge U.S.global leadership. Will it be able to sustain its economicgrowth rate, quell rural discontent, build a sound market-basedfinancial system, privatize dominant state-owned enterprises andmove towards openness and democracy? This is a tall order andyou can put me in the skeptic column. Nevertheless, China's raw industrial power, momentum and thepalpable ambition of the Chinese people could realisticallyyield a huge return. I advise my clients to go ahead and investin China but emphasize that this is a speculative investment. Itis smart to protect against the considerable downside risk. Here is a simpl...
