Ever hear that little voice in your head say...nahhh, I can't do that, I don't know how, it can't be that easy, there must me some trick to it...etc. The bad news is that little voice never shuts up, and is never going away. But here is the good news...those people who succeed, acknowledge the voice, say "thank you for sharing" and act anyway. That is what is called courage. You are not your thoughts...just like you are not your arm, or your leg. Most people get stopped by their thoughts. Whether you are investing in Indianapolis foreclosures or looking for cash flow properties to fund your retirement, we show you how to quiet that voice step by step while holding your hand in the real estate investing process. And we guarantee when you buy a house from us or invest in us it will be sim... 02/11/2009

Here is a look at what happened on the Indianapolis real estate market in January 2009 for homes under $500,000:   2008 2009 % Change Active N/A 7072 Homes Sold 689 529 -23% Average Selling Price $86,535 $78,116 -10% Days on Market 93 89 -4% Price Per Square Foot $53 $46 -13% It looks like 2009 is starting off with a continuation of 2008’s trends: market activity is way down and the average sales price is also down. We must also understand that this is a very broad look at the market as this report covers all homes in all price ranges in the city of Indianapolis. In addition, this report is not indicative of the overall metro Indianapolis market. I have not run the numbers yet, but I have a feeling that market reports of Carmel Indiana real estate and Fishers real estate will show some... 02/04/2009

How to Stop Foreclosure If you are in a bind and unable to make your mortgage payments, you may be in danger of foreclosure.   Sell Your Home. You can sell your home to an investor or regular home buyer. Selling your home will eliminate your financial problems and take away your responsibility for making the mortgage payments.   Consider a Short Sale. A short sale is a good option if you owe more on your home than it is worth. The short sale may negatively impact your credit, but it won't be as bad as a foreclosure. You can also negotiate to get your lender to cooperate on the short sale, a process considered "pre-foreclosure redeemed."   Sign a Deed-in-Lieu of Foreclosure A Deed-in-Lieu of Foreclosure is when you deed the home back to the lender. This process occurs when the homeowner ... 01/28/2009

Since foreclosures are such a hot topic right now, I thought I would share a few statistics about the Indianapolis foreclosures market: - There are currently 587 foreclosures and bank owned homes for sale. - The average asking price for these is $69,291. - There are currently 336 pending foreclosures with an average asking price of $53,877. - In the past 12 months, 3117 bank owned homes have sold in Indianapolis. - The average sales price for the past 12 months was $53,877. As you can see the foreclosure market in Indianapolis is substantially below the average for the rest of the Indianapolis real estate market. Another factor that is not considered here is Indianapolis short sales. A short sale is when the owner has fallen behind on the mortgage and they owe more than the house is wo... 01/27/2009

Here is look at what happened for homes in Pike Township Indianapolis under $500,000 for December 2008:   2007 2008 % Change Active N/A 627 Homes Sold 56 60 7% Average Selling Price $121,670 $85,043 -30% Days on Market 91 93 2% Price Per Square Foot $67 $50 -25% It looks we have a case where a single month can be misleading. The average sales price was down by far the most this year, posting a 30% decrease over last year. In addition, the number of homes sold appears to be up 7% over last year. Both of these numbers are contrary to what has happened the rest of the year in Pike Township real estate. At the year’s end, we saw an average of 17% fewer homes being sold and an 8% decrease in average sales price since last year. As you can see, December’s numbers are way off the averages for... 01/22/2009
