Podcast interview with fellow Bloodhound Blog contributor Dan Green

by

Author website

At my home blog, Blown Mortgage, I have the privilege of interviewing some of the best and brightest in the real estate and mortgage world. In this interview I spoke with Dan Green of Bloodhound and TheMortgageReports.com. As a blogger with over 2 years of posts logged he has a lot of experience and insight in to how blogging can help you business. Dan sources 25-30% of his business from his blog. Chew on that ROI!

This is the second Bloodhound I’ve had the pleasure of interviewing and I hopefully get to talk to the rest of the gang in the near future (hint, cough, hint).

Because I don’t want to put Greg through the FTP wringer again I’ll simply provide a link to the 13 minute interview over on Blown.

I hope you enjoy it – I know I did.

OC Register’s Matt Padilla talks mortgages, blogging, and the main-stream media

On my home blog, Blown Mortgage, I have the honor of talking with some of the best people in our industry about their take on the current market and the forces that are shaping each of our lives in this profession. I’ve interviewed housing bears, loan originators, marketers and more. The level of ability and professionalism in our industry amazes me each time I have the opportunity to talk with someone new.

This week I had an opportunity to speak with Matthew Padilla. Matt is the Real Estate and Mortgage reporter for the Orange County Register. I was looking forward to this interview because it marked the first time I had a chance to speak with a member of the main-stream media about the mortgage and real estate markets. I was interested in hearing him talk to what he has heard from his investigative reporting (since he does get to spend all day chasing down the stories).

While his insight on the market is, in my opinion, spot on and valuable; the reason I wanted to share it here with you is that Matt provides interesting insight in to how blogging has impacted his reporting and coverage. Speaking with him it became very apparent that what we do as bloggers has caused a paradigm shift in how the main-stream media thinks about, generates, and disseminates news. Matt talked at length about how and why he uses a blog, how he designates pieces for the blog versus the paper, how other blogs drive his research, and a wide range of other topics about the interface between the new and old mediums.

I think that all of us that blog each and every day should always remain aware that what we are doing is of extreme importance and consequence. Each blog post, each insight, each story and personal experience shared by experts such as those I have the privilege of writing with here at Bloodhound is shaping the news that is told tomorrow.

Realtors Can Pre-Qualify Buyers If A Lender Isn’t Handy

by

Commercial Real Estate Finance Expert
Structured Debt and Equity
Licensed Real Estate Broker in AL, CA, and FL

Author website

It’s Sunday afternoon and the Phillies game approaches the top of the ninth inning. You, the professional Realtor, look at your watch and notice it’s 3:40PM. You’ll be locking up the door, uprooting the signs and heading home after a long afternoon at a particularly slow open house. You can almost smell the dinner your loving spouse has prepared.

A couple walks in to the home and tells you that they are just in Philadelphia for the weekend. Dad’s finishing up his final negotiation for the new job and Mom’s trying to figure out if the kiddies will adapt to Philly.

They toured open houses all weekend. They need a Realtor with whom they connect. Mom announces that YOU are the perfect Realtor for them while the Phillies put away the Dodgers in the background. One catch… they REALLY want to see a home across town but it wasn’t open today.

“Will you represent them?” they ask.

You explain that your policy is pre-qualified buyers with a Buyers’ Brokerage Agreement.

“No problem !” they exclaim.

You dial your favorite lender while Mom and Dad review and sign the BBA. No lender answers your call.

Do you load them up into your SUV and show them properties?

You CAN pre-qualify that buyer in about five minutes; you just need to know what to ask. Seven Realtors from Active Rain gathered today to listen to my 20 minute presentation about “How Realtors Can Pre-Qualify a Buyer”

In this 20-minute podcast, I reveal:

1- How to talk about money without sounding intrusive.

2- The “Three C’s of Lending”

3- The one question that separates the buyers from the wannabes.

4- Red flags that require a conversation with a lender

5- Green flags that signify that a loan is imminent.

Download it to your iPod and get prepared for next Sunday afternoon (or just listen to it here).

Author website

Loan originators who have based their business on subprime mortgage products have been feeling the pinch in 2007. Private mortgages or hard money lending may be the solution to your problem.
Four originators gathered with three hard money lenders in our podcast.

The Lenders:

Mitch Zeichner (310) 948-2622 Mitch represents a wealthy family’s portfolio and funds real estate loans for residential properties in California, Arizona, and Nevada.

Dean Huntley (858) 759-9090 Dean is a true “trust deeds broker” and private mortgage lender. Dean represents 70 investors and funds residential and commercial real estate loans in California and Arizona.

We were joined by originators Robb Lejuwaan , Marc Brinitzer , and investor Jon Morrow.

Some important links:

HARD MONEY: Life as a Legal Loan Shark

HARD MONEY: Apartment Loans

HARD MONEY: Beware of the Brokerage Daisy Chain

HARD MONEY: Seven Tips For Borrowers

California Hard Money Lenders

California Mortgage Association

The podcast lasts some 58 minutes and has some static at 35:10 that lasts for 30 seconds. If you are a mortgage originator who is looking for a way to get some business, listen in! It works. I received a report today that an originator and lender on the call are working to fund a loan next week.

Waxed Fruit Hegemony: The Director’s Cut

by

Suburban Phoenix Real Estate Broker

Author website

Okay, here’s the videotape we made of our little escapade this morning. It’s about 21 minutes long, and it’s mostly just the tedium of real life, true video verit&233;.

Cathy does a de facto interview with me about the Reagan amendments, so it ends up being not just painfully dull but also mildly informative.

As is discussed at the end, we got a huge spike in traffic at BloodhoundRealty.com. This resulted in a whole bunch of people filling out our form to get a CMA, presumably thinking that we were Zillow.com.

In consequence, I am HouseValues.com for a day. If you are a real estate licensee working in one of the cities listed below, email me and I will front you the lead. Probably useless, but you never can tell. The price is right, anyway.

  • Greensboro, NC
  • Toronto, OH
  • Staten Island, NY
  • West Bloomfield, MI
  • Staten Island, NY
  • Oconomowoc, WI
  • Woodlawn, VA
  • Germantown, MD
  • Pittsburgh, PA
  • Oswego, IL
  • Greenwood Village, CO
  • Woodland Park, CO
  • Wildwood, MO
  • East Hampton, NY
  • Canton, GA
  • Alexandria, KY
  • Riverside, CA
  • Ojai, CA
  • Riverside, CA
  • Santa Barbara, CA
  • Sherman Oaks, CA

  • East Rockaway, NY
  • Gaylordsville, CT
  • Ft. Tgomas, KY
  • Hidden Hills, CA
  • Cataula, GA
  • Beavercreek, OH
  • Pringle, PA
  • Orlando, FL
  • Shreveport, LA
  • Martinsville, VA
  • Lafayette, LA

They’re continuing to come in. There may be more if they re-run the segment.

And because all true art films should end in a way that leaves you wondering if you really got it, I’ll conclude with a link to the Jewel lyric I quote just before the TV broadcast starts.

Roll the credits…
