NREP 8 Year Anniversary Today

As you know we decided to take a little break for the 4th of July holiday.  I (Frank) did however want to make mention that today marks the 8 year anniversary of our show.  I started this whole mess with one little video done for my loan officers on July 2, 2007.  2007 was a tough year and all my guys were struggling to make it.  I stumbled on video and made one to try and motivate them to do the things that are proven to work no matter what the market says.  After I sent it out, I knew I was on to something and I continued to do it every day since then.  You can see that first video below.  It may be the dumbest thing you’ve ever watched.

I won’t get into the details of our journey, but I will remind you that you can click on “Our History” above to get a snap shot of how this all came together.  But I would like to say a couple things.  Our journey hasn’t been all fun and games, we’ve been through some really tough times, and our journey is far from over.  This one little video launched a series of life changing events for me and Brian that continue even to this day.  Not all ideas will blossom into something notable, but some will.  The only way to find out is by putting the hours in and making your adjustments along the way.  I think a lot of us quit really good ideas because we’re just too damn impatient.  So if you’re working something that feels like it’s a good idea, be sure to give it a few years of relentless persistence before you kill it.
It’s been a long strange trip for us and who knows how much longer it will continue?  I believe the NREP is a show that can stick around within the mortgage and real estate industry for decades to come.  Hopefully we will be able to turn the reigns over to someone else in the next few years, and that someone can keep the show alive, maybe even make it bigger and better.  Again, who knows, we’ll have to see how it all plays out.
Well, I hope you get a kick out of our ridiculous little first video, and I hope it inspires you.  I mean if a couple of schmucks from Vacaville California can build what’s considered by many to be a staple in the mortgage and real estate industry from something as silly as this, who knows what you guys can do!

Are you considering FHA-insured loans for buying your next home,

By
The  Federal Housing Administration (FHA)  pre-approves lenders that in turn offer mortgage loans that typically have low down payments, low closeout prices, and are insured by the FHA in case of default. If you are  considering FHA-insured loans for buying your next home , there are some  basic guidelines  you should consider before jumping right in: #1. First off, the FHA is NOT a lender itself–it simply insures loans that are given through lenders it approves to provide FHA-type loans; mortgage rates and interest may differ between lenders, so  shop around  for the best option #2. While these loans are ideal for people with bad credit, people with credit scores lower than 500 are typically not eligible; however, special arrangements can be made for people with “ non-traditional credit history or insufficient credit ” and each state has its own  lending limits #3. FHA insurance can provide people who are facing extreme financial hardship and str...

How Reverse Mortgages Work

How Reverse Mortgages Work   More often than not, seniors don't have the sufficient financial resources to support themselves in lieu of medical expenses, Social Security contributions, home repairs and maintenance.  What they often have is an expensive home that doesn't really provide them the necessary benefits to sustain their way of living . The option to loan money using the home's equity is there, but the imposition of the monthly interest for borrowing money can only exacerbate their financial difficulties. Good thing there's another option called reverse mortgages. So what is a reverse mortgage? Perhaps it's better explained as a process that gives you the luxury to convert your equity into cash, but this time, without the hassle of paying for monthly installments. This is a promising program for many seniors in dire need of steady cash inflow. To prove that point, you only need to look at the statistics showing the staggering increase of reverse mortgages f...

California's Richmond Community Foundation will pursue a new social impact bond vehicle with a $3 million private placement it hopes to close next month.  Officials involved in the deal said the foundation is close to finalizing the terms for nearby San Pablo, Calif.-based Mechanics Bank to purchase the entire $3 million principal. The city of Richmond is conduit issuer for the foundation.  Proceeds will be used to purchase and rehabilitate vacant homes for sale to qualified first-time home buyers. The debt is backed by the revenue the foundation expects from the home sales.   The community foundation's president and chief executive officer, Jim Becker, said the deal's structure as a sort of "modified revenue bond" makes it unique in the social impact bond space. Social impact bonds are a relatively new type of finance devised to deal with social problems local governments may not be able to address due to budget crunches. Investors are repaid if the program meet...
