How to network with other real estate investors

by Jesse Davis

If you could not find an investment club in your area, I have to say I don’t think you were looking hard enough.

Recently somebody told me that they couldn’t find any investment clubs in Charleston, South Carolina. So I ran a search on Google and got several results. On the list of contacts there were two clubs in Charleston, some links to Web sites with several phone numbers. If I tried to call so many numbers, I would certainly find someone who would point me the right direction.

By the way, I know about Charleston because I went to high school in Dillon, SC. I will bet you any amount of money that in the city the size of Charleston there is at least one investment club or association.

Is a reverse mortgage a good thing??

by Doc Schmyz

If you have already heard the term reverse mortgage, it still sounds a little odd. If this is the first time you are hearing the term, it will probably sound like some kind of shady deal. Reverse mortgages are becoming more popular these days, but are they scams or are they legitimate?Is it really possible to sell your house back to the bank and still retain the deed to it? Will the bank really pay YOU the mortgage payments? Let’s review what a reverse mortgage is so these questions can be answered.

The name is somewhat confusing. A reverse mortgage is a loan that is structured like a mortgage, with YOU as the lender and the BANK as the buyer. In the U.S., homeowners wanting to initiate a reverse mortgage must be at least 62 years old, and own all or most of their home. The senior citizen homeowner “sells” his or her house to the bank, in return for receiving periodic mortgage payments. Sometimes the payments can be structured as a lump sum, line of credit, or a combination of all three.

Creating A Name For Yourself On The Web And Hosting Your Website

by Chris Channing

If you come across a website one day and wish you had something similar, or even the same site, you’ll need to do some serious thinking about what you need to do in terms of domain registration and webhosting. Even those who want to have one of those blog sites that everyone is going crazy over, you’ll need special accommodations for your site.

Even if you’ve played around with free web space from one of the many providers of these free services, you are still restricted to having a sub domain on their server. Real domain names need to be registered with a company. This will get you one of those .com (commercial) extensions on your unique web address or any other type of extension you please. You can easily find the domain you want with their search tools and are even offered alternatives if your requested domain is already taken.
