Beginning in the 3^rd Week of September we will begin a monthly program of 3 consecutive nights of seminars. This will continue monthly for the remainder of 2011. Depending on our interest we may expand this program to include the 1^st week of the month, too. The schedule for September will be as follows:

 Tuesday, September 20 – Real Estate Investing Seminar.

Wednesday, September 21 – Renovation Finance Workshop

Thursday, September 22 – Home Buyer Seminar

I hope to start a special feature this week which Laura will host that highlights a property we feel is an excellent candidate for renovation finance. We are convinced some of the greatest opportunity for young first time home buyers exist utilizing renovation finance. 

 Don’t forget my monthly Renovation Finance Workshop is this Wednesday, August 17, 2011. We start promptly at 7 p.m. so don’t be late. You can still register for this workshop at the link above.

And don’t forget our ever popular, Saturday Morning Tour of Bank Owned Properties. We are in our 3^rd Year of doing this event. You can register for the Tour at the link above.

If you missed Foreclosure Friday Flash on Friday the 29^th, I had an important announcement about the new Premier Properties division at Virginia Capital Realty. Here’s a link to last week’s episode, which was also my 100^th episode. We are also getting ready to begin a host of monthly seminars and workshops to educate you the consumer on the realities of this new Real Estate Market. I will continue to promote these events on Foreclosure Friday Flash, but they will also be promoted on our new revamped website, click here.  I am getting ready to enter my 3rd year of doing Bank Owned Weekly. Each week, I take great pride in providing the most accurate lists possible for the REO inventory in greater Richmond marketplace. With the expansion of the A Team at Premier Properties, there is an increasing probability that  either I or one of my team mates have physically previewed every property in our lists and that includes those listed by firms other than Virginia Capital Realty. If you’re seeking REO properties it only makes sense to work with Virginia Capital. And don’t forget to tell your friends about Bank Owned Weekly. They can register for Bank Owned Weekly at the appropriate link below.

     We are slowly seeing an increase on new properties coming to the market. I believe the logjam from the robo-signing fiasco is starting to break. By late Summer, I think we’ll be awash in properties, so it’s a great time to take advantage of our Workshops and Seminar. The Renovation Finance Workshop is held on the 3^rd Wednesday of each month, while the Real Estate Investment Seminar occurs on the 3^rd Thursday of each month. These events start at 7 p.m. at my offices at 1104 N Thompson Street. You can register and obtain information at the appropriate link above.

     Sorry about the delay in getting Foreclosure Friday Flash out. My mass email server made some changes last week to their formats, which would not allow me to send on Friday. I finally got it resolved on Saturday. Anyway, the Flash Friday was built around Friday being the 404^th Anniversary of Jamestown’s founding. I am still amazed at how rural Virginia is to this day between Richmond and Williamsburg. I hope you find this information of value; and you will recommend it to your friends.

     Inventory levels continue to decline, which I continue to believe is bad for the market. You may have seen a headline earlier in the week about Foreclosures being at a 40 month low. This was not a good headline and I wrote a blog post about it which you can read here.

     The real gist of this story is that there are over 3.7 million mortgages that are delinquent 90 days are more. There were 1.9 million foreclosures last year. There is a projected 2.0 million foreclosures for this year. There is a projected 5.4 million existing home sales for 2011. Do the math. This thing is far from over and the more the government interferes the longer it will last.
