OBummer

Seriously, In 27 years in this industry never has it been this bad. I am not telling you anything you don't know if you have been in this business 10+ years or more. As long as I can remember there has always been death, drugs, divorce, disease, and just plain dead beats the source that has fed us the REO over the years. Now we have a 6th "D" of REO. Those dumb enough to have stated they could afford the property they purchased and now an O'Bummer adminstration who seems to cater to the first 5 d's of REO as well. I have no sympathy for the so called I want what I want "Sub Prime Victims". Where else but America can anyone live free for 2-4 years, maybe longer and be catered to for ignorance? The new tenant act law? haha 98% of those in the property were not paying at all, the reason for the default of the wanna be investor. But they get to stay free another 3 months. I know there will be no tsumani of REO coming our way. There will be no opening of any flood gates. Confirmed by several of my clients. Slowly they will release the lower end properties as values stabilize and go up from there. It is what it is so fasten your seat belts for a long slow bumpy ride, over priced REO, demands of seller financing applications and a part time job to afford all the mandatory REO education courses that come with the threat of NO MORE BUSINESS if you don't comply as a way for the very sources we depend on to generate revenue to survive themselves when there is very little business right now. Since when in past years have you ever seen so many certification courses in REO all claiming to be the key to the business? Default School multiple choice training with questions so elementary as "What is the proper amount to spend on a gift to an asset manager?", What type AC unit is this? da, central, how to hold a digital camera and take pictures of a house? What happens when you bill late after a closing? OH Please! My game piece is still on the monopoly board and my objective is to collect more little green houses then anyone in my area. I refuse to lose, follow directions and am hanging in there for the long haul still having more fun then anyone without the support or back up income of a spouse or a job. I have become the Queen of 40.00 BPO's and fried rice recipes, haha That's reality.

  • Thank you for the possitive feed back. I am wasted on those that take 2 hours to watch 60 min and having been forced into a property manager position that allows those to stay for additional time the kind of time that it takes for "the wheel is turning but the hamster is dead" And they call us the wonderer? Haha about those rice recipes?
  • I got a restricted phone call from someone who said her mother had received a letter from me in the mail. I sent one letter to her because she is in default. Anyway, she said that I am harrassing her mother and that I need to stop or she will call the police. I asked her for the property address and she had to ask someone in the background what street the house is on. She said we keep getting letters like this. (I only mailed her one) Of course they are getting this type of mail because public records show the home is going to auction. I'm sure she's received lots of letters from their lender as well. I have compassion but they cannot call and release their anger on me.
  • Great post! It's so true that we keep catering to those who didn't care how dumb they were being when they purchased an overpriced home they couldn't afford. Stupidity is not a disability.
  • I am still laughing, Sally, well put in a comedic text! I just want to add one more - what about the HO that has abused/destroyed his property and then wants the mtg co to accept a short sale because he didn't take care of the property & wants to bail out to avoid the repairs! I have just completed 2 interior BPO's that were like this and have done many of the same - do I feel sorry for this HO? Heck NO
  • I enjoyed reading that, you made me laugh. :-) very nice, and hang in there
