Good News, More Good News!
Today the Fed cuts interest rates ANOTHER 1/2%!
That's a full 1.25% in just the last 9 days! We're seeing mortgage rates drop like a stone right now...There's something to be said for market timing and that's what today's post is all about. What should you know about this unprecedented rate cut? Well...
Today's interest rate cut has many surprising ramifications on the Real Estate investing business that MOST people are completely unaware of! In fact, there's one statistic that I want to tell you about, that darn near no one else is talking about!
Vince Farrell, Managing Director of Scotsman Capital, says "I think that with the 30-year fixed mortgage where it is right now, 50% of all conventional mortgages are resettable or refinanceable, and I think that's a big deal. " This comment is encouraging if you have decent credit and an Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) that will be resetting in the next 6 months! This move will certainly reduce the rate of Foreclosures.
But there's more:
"As recently as last summer, rates on 30-year fixed loans were about 6.5 percent
(they are 5.47% today – see table below), and once the Fed actually settles out at the end of the week, we'll probably only be in the low fives, which will be a two to three year low," according to Spencer Rascoff, Chief Financial Officer of Zillow.com, the nation's leading website for property valuations and other Real Estate services.
Today's mortgage Rates (as supplied by BankRate.com):
National Overnight Averages | |
30 Year Fixed | 5.47% |
15 Year Fixed | 4.96% |
5/1 ARM | 5.10% |
30 Year Jumbo Fixed | 6.59% |
30 Year Jumbo ARM | 5.66% |
This is why I think that investing in Cashflow Real Estate is a very, very intelligent move! Especially RIGHT NOW! So how do you learn to do that?
Easy! Join me for my FREE Real Estate Lifestyle Training Event on February 12th in Langhorne, PA or on February 13th in King of Prussia. I'll teach you everything that the Guru's are afraid to teach you! (They're afraid you'll figure it out and stop buying their courses!)
Here's what J. Gross had to say about the last live training session I held:
"Wow! I have to say, this is the first Real Estate Lifestyle seminar I've gone to since Jim's been on his own, and I must say, it's much, much better. It had a great flow, lots of good info, and a great presentation. It held my interest much better than the last one from the other place. My wife, who is a big skeptic, is even gung-ho about doing some deals right away!
I think if you are reading this, and you've never been to one of Jim's free seminars, you'd be a fool not to go take advantage of it.
When you do go, bring a good notepad and be prepared to write a lot. Consider Jim's advice and listen to him. Sit in the front row and pay close attention. It's worth it!
Well Done Jim! Bravo!!!"
