    Real Estate Nirvana: I Love You Mr. Subprime

    In terms of the property here though, the numbers don't jive. $190K for a $900K is way too big a margin unless there was something wrong at the property, or unless the $900K is wrong. Just my view after several decades of acquiring real estate in a variety of ways, to include trustee sales...

    Real Estate Nirvana: I Love You Mr. Subprime

    I've been watching foreclosures and going to auctions for 3.5 years now. I've probably been to 150 auctions. This auction was very unusual for a number of different reasons. From what I could figure out, the owner disappeared because of legal problems. He owed allot of different people allot...

    Have you ever been to an auction? Are you licensed in Massachusetts? You should get your money back for that degree in finance - they forgot to teach you how to spell.

    Real Estate Nirvana: I Love You Mr. Subprime

    You clearly do not know how foreclosure proceedings work. The lawyer is an agent of the bank. He/she is there to protect the banks interest. The bank's is solely interested in getting their money back, nothing else. Normally there would be more people at an auction, hence a higher price...

    Real Estate Nirvana: I Love You Mr. Subprime

    The original mortgage was for $200000. There was probably $190000 left. The bank added another $6000 to cover missed payments + fees. There was another home equity line of credit for $400,000 with a different bank. That bank didn't show up at the auction, so they have to eat the $400,000...

    Real Estate Nirvana: I Love You Mr. Subprime

    I don't mean to be a jerk, but I've been waiting seven years for this to happen, so I'm gonna brag. I just bought a $900,000 house on 7 acres 30 minutes from Boston for $196000. It was me, the auctioneer, and the lawyer. I was the first and only bid. The auctioneer was speechless. The...

    Van Tharp Paradox....

    I apologize for my for my poor grammar. I failed to proof-read my previous post. kiwi-trader said, "the key is to have enough expected win for the average loss - and a high enough win ratio." Statistically this is referred to as "positive expectancy." kiwi_trader is correct, one...

    Van Tharp Paradox....

    Basso and Van Tharpe have two fundamentally different ideas about trading. Van Tharpe wants to trade with the crowd, Basso wants to trade against it. In my opinion Basso is correct. It simply comes down to this: You want to buy when EVERYONE is selling. Your theoretical results from the...
