<p>We have recently heard about hedge fund companies purchasing homes in bulk. What exactly is a hedge fund?  According to the website <a href="http://www.magnum.com/hedgefunds/abouthedgefunds.asp"><a href="http://www.magnum.com/hedgefunds/abouthedgefunds.asp">http://www.magnum.com/hedgefunds/abouthedgefunds.asp</a></a></p>

<div class="MsoNormal"></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<p>      A <a href="http://money.cnn.com/magazines/moneymag/money101/lesson23/index.htm">Hedge fund</a> is a fund that can take both long and short positions, use arbitrage, buy and sell undervalued securities, trade options or bonds, and invest in almost any opportunity in any market where it foresees impressive gains at reduced risk. Hedge fund strategies vary enormously &#8212; many hedge against downturns in the markets &#8212; especially important today with volatility and anticipation of corrections in overheated stock markets. The primary aim of most hedge funds is to reduce volatility and risk while attempting to preserve capital and deliver positive returns under all market conditions.</p>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal"></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<p> This is a group of  investors who have some together and purchased homes in bulk. The homes are renovated and then sold. Like investors they have a system in place to ensure profit if made.</p>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal"></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<p>Taking money from your <a href="http://money.cnn.com/magazines/moneymag/money101/lesson23/index.htm">401&#160;K </a>and investing in properties is another investment opportunity.  Great idea? Be careful of the pitfalls with fees.   According to <a href="http://money.cnn.com/magazines/moneymag/money101/lesson23/index.htm">CNN Money </a>the website <a href="http://money.cnn.com/magazines/moneymag/money101/lesson23/index.htm."><a href="http://money.cnn.com/magazines/moneymag/money101/lesson23/index.htm.">http://money.cnn.com/magazines/moneymag/money101/lesson23/index.htm.</a></a></p>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal"></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<p>Loans must be repaid with after-tax money plus interest. And, with few exceptions, if you withdraw money before age 59-1/2 you must pay income taxes plus a 10% penalty. What&#8217;s more, lost time for compounding will substantially shrink your nest egg.</p>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<p>With any investment it is wise to contact a financial adviser as well as a certified accountant for further requirements or fees. </p>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<p>Purchasing a HUD home or Short Sale may offer better pricing.  Homes that need some renovations would allow the investor to hire a General Contractor offering the new homeowner a chance to make it their own style. Choosing to make the home current using a certified renovation General Contractor will help the process run smooth. </p>

<p>Do you a see a distressed home and think &#8220;Great neighborhood I wish the house had a bigger bathroom or updated kitchen or even new carpet&#8221;</p>
<p>You can have the best of both worlds. With a General Contractor who is experienced as a <a href="http://203kcontractors.com/">203 k certified contractor</a> along with a <a href="http://www.locatearizonahomes.com/">qualified Realtor</a> and a certified Lender. You can make it the home of your dreams! Yes, with a <a href="http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/program_offices/housing/sfh/203k/203kmenu">203 k FHA</a> home loan you are able to have one loan amount and include your renovations into one loan amount.</p>
<p><strong>Below are photos that will illustrate what changes can be made in a distressed home.<br />Vidoes see</strong><span><span><strong><a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/Knippconstruction/videos?feature=context&amp;sort=dd&amp;page=1&amp;view=u" title="You Tube renovation Video">youtube Knipp Contruction </a></strong></span></span></p>
<p>Go to<a href="http://facebook.com/knippcontracting"> Knipp Contracting fan page </a>for more Photos and valuable 203 k information.</p>
<p>Information in part by<a href="http://www.locatearizonahomes.com/"> Gina McKinley</a> Broker in the South East Valley&#160;:</p>
<p>Over half of all of the homes for sale in the <a href="http://www.locatearizonahomes.com/Arizona/Phoenix-Real-Estate-and-Community-Info">Phoenix Metro Area</a> are distressed.  But what does that mean? Are buying these homes even a good idea?</p>
<p>Distressed homes have either gone through <a href="http://www.phoenix-bankownedhomes.com/">foreclosure</a> or are put on the market by the homeowner as a “<a href="http://www.locatearizonahomes.com/Seller-Short-Sale-Information">short sale</a>”. A short sale means that the homeowner can no longer afford to pay the mortgage on their home, and the mortgage is greater than the current market value of the home.  The homeowner’s lender then agrees to accept less than the outstanding loan instead of going through the foreclosure process.</p>
<p>These two types of sales are very different from traditional sales – they usually have a lot more paperwork, and in the case of a short sale, a much longer transaction. If you don’t have a <a href="http://www.locatearizonahomes.com/About">qualified agent</a>to represent you, these transactions can potentially be very frustrating.  Most buyers will shy away from these sales for the above reasons.</p>
<p>As a <a href="http://www.az-short-sales.com/" target="_blank">Certified Distressed Property Expert</a>, both I and my team are experienced in navigating the potential pitfalls that these types of transactions have.  We can help you find some of the best deals in our current market.  Regardless if the property is distressed or not, this is an amazing time to buy a home.  Incredibly low interest rates combined with low property values will provide you with a great bargain every time.</p>
<p>One of the best advantages of buying a distressed property is that the seller is highly motivated to sell.  Banks are looking to remove the liability in the case of a <a href="http://www.phoenix-bankownedhomes.com/">foreclosure</a> and a homeowner in financial trouble will want to get out of a mortgage they can’t afford. These sales are also much less emotional, and won’t be offended if your offer comes in below list price.</p>

<p>Have you found the neighborhood of your dreams but the home was less than desirable? It can be overwhelming to think of renovating a home on your own.  Where ever I go people are asking me about the 203 k loan and who they should contact. I have put together a few of the frequently asked questions about Realtors, Loan officers and inspections.</p>
</div>
<div>The Renovation loan program is designed for current and potential home owners to finance both the purchase price and the cost of renovations. What does this mean?  Location, location location! You can now find a distressed home in the neighborhood of your choice. It&#8217;s ok if you are not a handyman, the 203 k certified contractor can help you with the process.</p>
</div>
<div>Are you looking to repair, replace or upgrade plumbing or electrical systems, how about upgrading your kitchen or bathroom. replacing your countertops?  The renovation home loan is a good avenue to take.</div>
<div>What type of home can you buy&#160;? Any type! If you see a home in a neighborhood you desire, then it has the qualifications needed, as long as after the renovations of your home appraised for 110% of after rehab value.</p>
</div>
<div><a href="http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/program_offices/housing/sfh/203k/203kabou">The HUD Home </a>has many options for the homebuyer, with its down payment assistance program and many homes available in your area.
