The tour led roughly 20 participants to 13 homes in communities throughout the region, including Ross, Coraopolis, Robinson, Mount Lebanon, Penn Hills, Verona and Pittsburgh's West End. Ben Hess, a Coldwell agent who specializes in selling foreclosed properties for lender Fannie Mae, said about 60 percent of the people on the bus tour were investors looking to rent or flip property. The remaining participants planned to occupy the homes themselves, he said. "We have been just swamped with inquiries" from lenders interested in selling their foreclosed homes, Hess said. This week has been particularly busy, Hess said, because Allegheny County held its monthly sheriff's sale on April 7.

CHICAGO – Tucked surreptitiously at the way-way-way-off-Loop location of the Prop Thtr – Chicago’s oldest-surviving non-equity theater in the area – the signature that is “Ceres” is its high-octane energy. The cast act in harmony much in the same way as the “X-Men” character Juggernaut: once their momentum is synthesized, it can’t be stopped. The theme is carried consistently from the instant “Ceres” lights up all the way through its curtain call. All throughout the middle, The Factory Theater troupe allows theatergoers to feel like privileged voyeurs in the lions’ den of high-volatility investment brokers who crook all their rules, loyalties and ethics in order to make the coveted sale.

He showed to the world that MicroFinance or just giving access of credit to the poor could do a lot of wonders in reducing poverty.

Commercial real estate, private money loans also know as hard money and or bridge loans are becoming more prevalent as borrowers enjoy less red tape, quicker closings and more “common sense” underwriting than conventional financing provides. Typically though, borrowers still relay on this type of financing as an option when conventional sources are not available. The increased speed and flexible underwriting comes at a steep price with interest only rates often in the teens, 3- 6 points being the norm and loan terms being relatively short at 12 – 36 months. Why would owners pay such high fees/rates? In short, because it makes sense for them based on their current situation. Below are examples of transactions where it made sense for our borrowers or go the hard money route. Grand Rapids. Small office building that was previously used as the owners business headquarters. The owner wanted to move his business out and convert the property into a multi-tenant building (investment prop

With the increasing prices due to inflation, sometimes, it is not a good idea anymore to put your money in the bank and let it earn the small interests that are often offered by financial institutions. You can actually keep your own money and invest it in worth while projects that will earn more interests. But, there are people who just can not keep their money no matter how much they want to.

Blackfriars bridge is stop number 5 on the walki-talki.com tour of London. In 1982, it was the site of a ghastly death. This week, five men accused of the murder were cleared of the crime in Rome. The court found insufficient evidence to convict the accused. Surprisingly, the first inquest in the UK concluded that Mr. Roberto Calvi, a troubled Banker living in Canada, had decided to commit suicide by hanging himself from Blackfriars Bridge one early morning. Well, whatever the truth may be, as you wander about Blackfriars Bridge, feel free to wonder whether this was a suicide or a murder. Or whether the Mafia is reality or entirely the figment of the active imagination of people like Mario Puzzo and Francis Ford Copola. Payam Photo by Bruno Girin.

Inside the small boat were several large yellow fin tuna. The American complimented the Mexican on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took to catch them.The Mexican replied, "only a little while."The American then asked why didn't he stay out longer and catch more fish?The Mexican said he had enough to support his family's immediate needs.The American then asked, "but what do you do with the rest of your time?"The Mexican fisherman said, "I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, take siestas with my wife, Maria, stroll into the village each evening where I sip wine, and play guitar wi

Walking into a bank for a business loan without any documentation is the quickest way to get turned down for a loan. And it is not surprising that a high percentage of potential business loan wannabes simply are unprepared to deal with what the bank needs to see when you apply. When you visit your banker, he or she will need to have documentation for the specific dollar figure you are requesting a loan for, as well as a very detailed report of exactly what you are doing with the money, and why you feel that amount is neccessary. Your banker will also ask for a projection of when you feel you can realistically pay back the loan, how often you will make payments, and how much you plan to pay on a monthly basis.  You will also need to offer financial history for your company (balance sheets, profit and loss statements) for at least the previous three years, if it is an established company. If this is a start-up business, you will need to have a concise and detailed business pl
