Are you currently investing in the Miami real estate market? If you are and you’re tempted to buy bargain property sight unseen, you might just get an added bonus that you’re not counting on: squatters. There’s an anti-poverty group down there running around matching homeless people with vacant houses. The group, which calls itself Take Back the Land, is apparently trying to find a good use for some of the city’s empty properties.

So far law enforcement officials seem to be turning the other cheek and ignoring what’s going on. Now, I don’t know what kinds of properties these are. It’s possible they might need substantial repairs and aren’t ready to be lived in. The point is they belong to the lenders and in some cases – the government.

But what happens if an investor comes along and gets what they think is the deal of the century?

Will they have to fight to get the squatters out so they can begin the renovation process?

I’ve got nothing against finding a place for the homeless to live. I’m as compassionate as the next person. But it brings up an interesting question about who ultimately pays the cost of evicting squatters from these properties – and who’s responsible for any damages to the houses. If the properties aren’t properly secured it might be relatively easy for this group to help homeless folks to get in off the street.

But most of these places are probably locked up tight.

Without a key, how are they getting in? Are they breaking in? Or are the houses surrendering to the “will of the people” and spontaneously unlocking themselves so they can be lived in? If you’re investing in Miami – or anywhere else this kind of activity might be taking place – beware. Don’t take the law into your own hands. Be sure to research local laws to make sure you abide by the letter and the spirit of the law in the event that you buy one of these properties and discover that you have a tenant you weren’t counting on.  You don’t want to have to fight for possession of YOUR property.

Blessings!

I have built my business and my reputation on making educated, sometimes spur of the moment, decisions. And that is what I am doing right now.

We have changed our Buying Tour Destination! And the opportunity to join us is still available to you!

We had planned to head to Spartanburg, SC, but the way taxes are assessed in South Carolina is about to change and this affects the quality of deals for investors. I have prided myself both personally and
professionally on putting my investors in the best position to succeed, and right now that is not Spartanburg because of what is taking place there.

Coincidently I have just had a number of properties in Atlanta, GA under 60% loan to value dropped
in my lap. Atlanta is already a great market where we have had tremendous success recently , so we are heading to Atlanta!

Because if the last minutes changes and to give everyone time to get their aairfare in order, etc. the new date is Dec. 14-17. We have some open seats still yet. 

To reserve yours now, call Jeff in the office at 760-738-9646.  You can also fill out a profile and I will call you back to discsuss. Go here to fill out a profile: www.reiconferences.com/wealthprofile.htm 

In case you don’t know what a buying tour is, you can go here: www.reiconferences.com/buyingtours.htm . If you didn’t already know this, for all of those who attend a buying tour with us, you have personal phone and email access to me for life…How’s that for commitment to your success?

Thank you to all the folks committed to the Spartanburg trip and their flexibility on the site and date change. You realize the big picture is about putting you in the best position to succeed!

Again, Please go to www.reiconferences.com/wealthprofile.htm or call Jeff at 760 738 9646, or E-mail jeff@reiconferences.com to get a sign up packet for Atlanta. Seats are going quickly and many of you
already have registration packets. The remaining seats will be filled on a first come first served basis.

The packet fax back number is 888 327 6410.

 I look forward to working with you personally in Atlanta!

To Your Success!
