Difficult Days in Colorado Springs

President Obama’s visit to Colorado Springs highlighted the struggles our community is facing, calling the large number of houses destroyed by the on-going wildfires “heartbreaking.”

More than 1000 firefighting crews have been deployed and are courageously battling against the wind and high temperatures. More than 350 homes have been lost, but more than 32,000 of our neighbors have been evacuated to safety. For that we can be truly grateful.

Here at the Roshek Group, we’ve also been asked to leave our office ahead of any potential fire danger. Please know that everyone here is well, and we remain firmly committed to providing our clients with the best possible service. We are continuing to conduct business as usual from alternative locations, and will strive to meet all of our professional obligations.

All those in this situation are especially in our thoughts during this time, and we look forward to welcoming back all of our neighbors who were forced to leave their homes. If any of us here at the Roshek Group can be of any assistance during this time, please do not hesitate to contact us.

MBA Report: 1 in 7 Homeowners Past Due or in Foreclosure

In a new report from the Mortgage Bankers Associations, 1 in 7 homeowners are delinquent or in foreclosure.  Compared to last year 1 in 8 were delinquent or in foreclosure. 

I believe that real estate market will continue to go down.  There are a few reasons I believe this will be the case.

1.  The tax credit for first time homebuyers stole buyers that would have been buying later this year.

2.  Unemployment is too high.

3.  With that many people going being delinquent or going in to foreclosure.  These people will not be able to buy.  They will have to rent.

4.  That will lead to investors searching for Steals so that they can make money by renting.

Investing Tips from RisMedia

11 investing tips for those that are starting to get ready to invest in Real Estate.

http://rismedia.com/lowes/8355/8606.

11. USE A REALTOR.

Remember that April 30th is the last day for the Home Buyer Credits

April 30th of 2010 is the last day for you to be under contract.  If you are a First Time Home Buyer,( or have not owned a home for the last 3 years) you may qualify for the $8,000.00 Credit.  If you have lived in your current home for 5 of the last 8 years you could qualify for the $6,500.00 Credit. 

Interest Rates are expected Rise. 

Now is the Time to Buy.

Good News, Bad News or just blah blah blah

From the USA Today website with the link below, Mr. Bernanke stated the interest rates will remain low, mostly because of high unemployment, and weak housing market, that is the Good News.

The Bad News is that your Government is going to stop buy mortgage back securities.  So what does that mean...  It means that Interest rates for purchasing or refinancing a home or car will go up.  

The Blah,blah,blah... Bank of America is going to be "erasing debt of some of its most-troubled borrowers".  What the heck does that mean.  Who qualifies for "the MOST-TROUBLED BORROWERS".  I am confused, are the most-trouble borrowers the people that were irresponsible or are the best friends of one of the CEO's.

Last Reminder to turn your clocks forward 1 hour

It is that time of the year, when you lose an hour of sleep.  I guess that the best way to think of it is that with four kids you really never get to sleep anyways.  Or the other way to think of it is that I will get to sleep in until 7 am.  Either way I hope you get to take a long nap tomorrow.
