What are the steps to buying Los Angeles real estate at auction on which the lender has foreclosed?
What does it take, step by step, to get involved in buying foreclosed real estate at auction in the Los Angeles? What’s better, REOs or auctions? How do you discover these properties without paid subscriptions to these cheesy websites? Does it cost to attend the auctions? Are these cash deals only or can they be financed? Any other key information, suggestions, suggested books/websites, pitfalls, etc. from people that have first-hand experience.
I have the answer you need buddy… since it does me no good right now… Hook me up with best answer for this one www.calpost.com that should get you started. The rest is out of my hands! Oh and to your other questions…. REO’S vs auctions can go either way. Call the court house to see if there is a fee. Usually there is a deposit of some sort. I’m not sure how LA works, but some place require that you pay the amount in full, some within a month. With REO’s I’m sure you can get financing, but not with auctions.

Art Wikiprojects: Wikiproject Architecture, Wikiproject Visual Arts, Louis Lesser, Tyree Guyton $9.05 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Louis Lesser (born June 15, 1916) is a real estate developer and businessman. He received frequent press coverage in the 1950s and 1960s for his ability to earn money and for his various business operations. Many of Lesser’s development projects were large in scale or of historic significance, such as Barrington Plaza, the largest urban renewal project in the western United States under President John F. Kennedy. Barrington Plaza also served as a nuclear fallout shelter at the peak of the Cold War nuclear threat, with Lesser appointed to the Los Angeles County Civil Defense and Disaster Commission during the Kennedy Administration. Lesser’s business operations were noted around the world for their diversity and quantity, with 250 companies and 150 partners by 1960. Some of Lesser’s partners and associates were well known public figuresfor example, Lesser was the landlord and developer for many of Howard Hughes’ properties. Lesser developed, owned, and leased many properties for the military industrial complex during the cold war, and developed, owned, and operated numerous large hotels, commercial and industrial properties, apartment complexes, and housing tracts, developing over 60,000 homes in his career. Lesser was named the Los Angeles City of Hope “Man of the Year” and received a commendation from the Los Angeles Board of Supervisors for business achievement and philanthropy in 1961. Lesser is a “real estate developer”, not a “builder”. Quoting Lesser in 1963, the New York Times wrote, Developing is the key word. We dont build ourselves, Mr. Lesser stresses. We buy the land, finance the deal, and then we have the best builders build under bond at a fixed cost. Lesser began his business career working as a door-to-door magazine salesman… More: |

Australian Real Estate $9.62 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Negative gearing is a form of financial leverage where an investor borrows money to buy an asset, but the income generated by that asset does not cover the interest on the loan. (When the income does cover the interest it is called positive gearing.) A negative gearing strategy can only make a profit if the asset rises in value(capital gains) by enough to cover the shortfall between the income and interest which the investor suffers. The investor must also be able to fund that shortfall until the asset is sold. The tax treatment of interest expenses and future gain will affect the investor’s final return too. Tax rules vary from country to country. Negative gearing on property is currently only found in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, all countries in the Commonwealth of Nations. In Australia, negative gearing usually refers to borrowing for a residential investment (e.g. a house or unit) which is rented out. In most places rents are less than the interest on property value, and the investment thus results negative gearing if the investor borrows, for instance, 80% or 90% of the cost. Loans of up to 100% are possible. The same sort of borrowing to buy shares whose dividends fall short of interest costs is also called negative gearing. The loan to finance such a transaction is called a margin loan. This has been very common and pushed by many financial planners during the bull market up to 2008. Importantly the tax treatment is the same, so any investment made where the funding costs exceed the income return is referred to as negative gearing. Negative gearing payments made by the Australian Commonwealth government to landlords suffering a loss went from $600 million in the 2001-02 tax year to some $3.9 billion in 2004-05. This was also … More: |

Chicago Architecture: Histories, Revisions, Alternatives $45 Chicago is synonymous with modern architecture—the birthplace of the skyscraper, the cradle of twentieth-century American design, and the home of enduring works by such iconic figures as Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Frank Lloyd Wright. However, in Chicago Architecture, Charles Waldheim and Katerina Rüedi Ray revise and offer alternatives to the archetypal story of modern architecture in Chicago.An esteemed group of contributors here show that the mythic status of Chicago architecture has distorted our understanding of the historical circumstances in which it was realized. This volume of fascinating essays illuminates the importance of photographs, books, magazines, and other media in the cultivation of an international audience for Chicago architecture; it explores the pivotal role of real estate developers, finance and insurance sectors, and speculative capital markets in the development of the city itself; and, perhaps most notably, it examines a wide variety of overlooked architectural works, including Marina City and O’Hare Airport, and their creators—lesser known women architects and individuals who did not fit into the dominant modernist narrative. Chicago Architecture is a work of enormous scope and vision—a book as heady and towering as the skyline it considers. |

Pop!: Why Bubbles are Great for the Economy $10.99 Bubbles—from hot stocks in the 1920s to hot stocks in the 1990s—are much-lamented features of contemporary economic life. Time and again, American investors, seduced by the lures of quick money, new technologies, and excessive optimism, have shown a tendency to get carried away. Time and again, they have appeared foolish when the bubble burst. The history of finance is filled with tragic tales of shattered dreams, bankruptcies, and bitter recriminations. But what if the I-told-you-so lectures about bubbles tell only half the story? What if bubbles accomplish something that can only be seen in retrospect? What if the frenzy of irrational economic enthusiasm lays the groundwork for sober-minded opportunities, growth, and innovation? Could it be that bubbles wind up being a competitive advantage for the bubble-prone U.S. economy? In this entertaining and fast-paced book—you’ll laugh as much as you cry—Daniel Gross convincingly argues that every bubble has a golden lining. From the 19th-century mania for the telegraph to the current craze in alternative energy, from railroads to real estate, Gross takes us on a whirlwind tour of reckless investors and pie-in-the-sky promoters, detailing the mania they created—but also the lasting good they left behind. In one of the great ironies of history, Gross shows how the bubbles once generally seen as disastrous have actually helped build the commercial infrastructures that have jump-started American growth. If there is a secret to the perennial resilience and exuberance of the American economy, Gross may just have found it in our peculiar capacity to blow financial bubbles—and successfully clean up the mess. |

Excerpt: Sulaiman Abdul Kareem Mohammad Al-Fahim (Arabic: ) (born 1977 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates) is the ex-CEO of the Abu Dhabi based Hydra Properties real estate development company, and president of the Arab Union for Real Estate Development. Al-Fahim is a 10% shareholder and non-executive chairman of English football club Portsmouth, which plays in the Premier League, having sold a 90% share to Ali Al-Faraj in October 2009, after only 40 days as the full owner. In March 2009, Al-Fahim was listed fourth in Arabian Business magazine’s list of “The World’s most influential Arabs”. A warrant for his arrest over an alleged dispute in a Dh8 m property deal was issued in February 2010. According to reports he has cleared out his assets from the UAE and is unable to return to the UAE without being arrested. Al-Fahim was born in Dubai in 1977. From the age of eleven he worked in his father’s Orient Pharmacy after school. At the age eighteen he founded the “Sulaiman Al Fahim Group” which financed education and sports in the UAE. In 1998, when he was 21, his parents and younger brother were killed in a road traffic accident near Dubai Airport. Following this loss he moved to the United States. There Al-Fahim received his MBA in Finance and Real Estate from Kogod School of Business of the American University in Washington, D.C.. While Fahim often uses the honourific “Doctor” before his name, the legitimacy of this title has been questioned. Fahim claims to have acquired a Ph.D. in real estate investment from the Kogod School of Business at American University in Washington. However, the school has no such program and records there do not indicate Fahim acquired any degrees other than his MBA. In response to these claims, a lawyer stated that Al-Fahim r… More: |

Private Equity Firms Of The United Kingdom $10.18 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Hamilton Bradshaw is a mid-market private equity firm with headquarters in London, England. The company was founded in 2003, by UK serial entreprenuer and Dragons’ Den panelist James Caan. Hamilton Bradshaw’s main offices are located in Mayfair, London. Hamilton Bradshaw (HB) can be segmented into private equity, venture capital, recruitment, and real estate. Hamilton Bradshaw’s focus is on acquiring companies that have unique selling points (USPs). In Caan’s book, “The Real Deal”, he affirms that, If you don’t have a Unique Selling Point you’re dead in the water.” To ensure that this is present in business opportunities that Hamilton Bradshaw evaluates, one of the first things that its investment team does is assess the business plan. Hamilton Bradshaw was founded in 2003 by BBC Television’s Dragons’ Den panelist and CEO James Caan, along with Tristan Ramus and Deepak Jalan. By 2002, Caan had sold off his stakes in Humana International, Recruitment International, and Alexander Mann. These sales allowed Caan to take a “gap year”, studying advanced management at Harvard. The sale of Alexander Mann also led to James Caan forming a company that would focus on private equity. Caan says that his success at Alexander Mann has “given me the opportunity to do what I do today.” One of the things that makes Hamilton Bradshaw quite unique is that unlike a lot of private equity firms…my company only invests my own money. So the good thing is that when they work, all the return is mine. The sad thing is when they don’t work, unfortunately, I lose all my money. Hamilton Bradshaw employs staff in finance, media, investment, and operations. Tristan Ramus is a Managing Director and is Hamilton Bradshaw’s non-executive director on company boards and is dir… More: |

Real Estate Indices: Case-Shiller index, Property derivatives, House price index, DIX Deutscher Immobilien Index, Days on market $8.96 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: The CaseShiller Home Price Indices are constant-quality house price indices for the United States. There are multiple CaseShiller home price indices: A national home price index, a 20-city composite index, a 10-city composite index, and twenty individual metro area indices. This section is insufficiently specific. The phrase “together formed a repeat-sales index” doesn’t say how it is computed, nor as a function of which data.The indices are calculated from data on repeat sales of single-family homes, an approach developed by economists Karl Case, Robert Shiller and Allan Weiss. Case developed a method for comparing repeat sales of the same homes in an effort to study home pricing trends. He was using data from house sales in Boston in the early 1980s, which was going through a housing price boom. While Case argued that such boom was ultimately unsustainable, he had not considered it a bubble, a commonly-used term to describe similar market trends. Case sat down with Shiller, who was researching behavioral finance and economic bubbles, and together formed a repeat-sales index using home sales prices data from other cities across the country. In 1991, while Weiss was performing graduate studies under Shiller, he persuaded them to form a company, Case Shiller Weiss, to produce the index periodically with the intent of selling the information to the markets. Fiserv, an information management company, bought Case Shiller Weiss in 2002 and, together with Standard |

Reforming Collateral Laws to Expand Access to Finance $20 Most readers, especially those with car loans or home mortgages, know about ‘collateral’—property that the lender can take away from the borrower in the event that the borrower defaults. In low/middle income countries, it is understood that conservative lenders exclude firms from credit markets with their excessive collateral requirements. Usually, this is because only some property is acceptable as collateral: large holdings of urban real estate and, sometimes, new motor vehicles. Microenterprises, SMEs, and the poor have little of this property but they do have an array of productive assets that could easily be harnessed to serve as collateral. It is only the legal framework which prevents firms from using these assets to secure loans. In countries with reformed laws governing collateral, property such as equipment, inventory, accounts receivable, and livestock are considered excellent collateral. This book aims to better equip project managers to implement reforms to the legal and institutional framework for collateral (secured transactions). It discusses the importance of movable property as a source of collateral for firms, the relationship between the legal framework governing movable assets and the financial sector consequences for firms (better loan terms, increased access, more competitive financial sector), and how reforms can be put in place to change the lending environment. |

Excerpt: Louis Lesser (born June 15, 1916) is a real estate developer and businessman. He received frequent press coverage in the 1950s and 1960s for his ability to earn money and for his various business operations. Many of Lesser’s development projects were large in scale or of historic significance, such as Barrington Plaza, the largest urban renewal project in the western United States under President John F. Kennedy. Barrington Plaza also served as a nuclear fallout shelter at the peak of the Cold War nuclear threat, with Lesser appointed to the Los Angeles County Civil Defense and Disaster Commission during the Kennedy Administration. Lesser’s business operations were noted around the world for their diversity and quantity, with 250 companies and 150 partners by 1960. Some of Lesser’s partners and associates were well known public figuresfor example, Lesser was the landlord and developer for many of Howard Hughes’ properties. Lesser developed, owned, and leased many properties for the military industrial complex during the cold war, and developed, owned, and operated numerous large hotels, commercial and industrial properties, apartment complexes, and housing tracts, developing over 60,000 homes in his career. Lesser was named the Los Angeles City of Hope “Man of the Year” and received a commendation from the Los Angeles Board of Supervisors for business achievement and philanthropy in 1961. Lesser is a “real estate developer”, not a “builder”. Quoting Lesser in 1963, the New York Times wrote, Developing is the key word. We dont build ourselves, Mr. Lesser stresses.
