Mega Evening Event with National Real Estate Network REIA, Will Present a Property Short Sale Trainer to Help Get the Business on the Right TrackSouthfield, Michigan--- Each month hundreds of people anticipate the speaker for the Mega Evening Event Hosted by The National Real Estate Network. They fully understand that the facilitators are knowledgeable in their particular area of real estate. One of the most important strategic decisions to make for a real estate investor is building a powerful, productive and successful team. Real estate guru, Shane Nichelson has mastered this concept. Nichelson has partnered with a national title company and has developed a program that will allow the investor to close most of their real estate deals without ever using their own or borrowed money. The secret is using a land trust. The seminar class participants will learn about: *Land Trust *Using a Land Trust *Flip short sales *Collect fee on all deals *Never use money again for most transactions *Wholesale properties without purchasing them *Discovering which title company will assist investors in transactions *Collecting wholesale fee even if the buyer is getting a loan The opportunities in real estate are consistently growing as more and more people are defaulting on their loans. Due to lax lending practices, homeowner money mismanagement, as well as unforeseen events such as illness, death, or divorce, the number of foreclosures continues to increase. These are major interests for investors in real estate and this seminar will be for one night only. Shane Nichelson has developed a program that will allow the investor to close most of their real estate deals without ever using their own or borrowed money by using a land trust. "Our club is happy to have a trainer of this magnitude, come and explain this exciting process." Says Ralph Marcus Maupin Jr., (Mark) Co-founder of National Real Estate Network LLC. It is a known fact that to do well in real estate, it is important to impress the people that are working on each project, especially the loss mitigator. Be honest and keep any promises that are made. Integrity is a rarity these days and if there is always that level of professionalism the team will never forget. Make plans to attend this worthwhile workshop filled with information and inspiration.

Mayors to confront foreclosures
Meeting in Detroit to study growing crisis

The foreclosed house next door to Kristi Katsma's home in Detroit 's Indian Village symbolizes the potential rot the foreclosure crisis creates for neighborhoods.

After it was broken into repeatedly and stripped of copper pipes and architectural elements, residents have banded together to help the house on Seminole, setting up a security system and caring for the yard in hopes of protecting their neighborhood's character.

"In part, we're doing this to safeguard our investment," said Katsma, 37. "The longer a house is empty, the more it's in disrepair and the greater a chance that it's going to get broken into."

With thousands of such foreclosed homes eating away at Detroit 's neighborhoods, Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick will announce today that several mayors from across the country will convene in Detroit next week to brainstorm ways to confront a crisis plaguing communities everywhere.

Kilpatrick, who heads up the committee that handles the foreclosure issue for the U.S. Conference of Mayors, said the foreclosure crisis is hammering the city in many ways -- from morale in stable communities now stuck with vacant homes to having fewer homeowners who have less equity.

"It's never been to the degree that this is happening," Kilpatrick told the Free Press. "The foreclosure issue is the single-biggest economic issue that we have to overcome in the city of Detroit."

Among the mayors coming to Detroit will be those from Trenton, N.J., Louisville , Ky., and Columbus, Ohio . Southfield Mayor Brenda Lawrence also will participate. Key areas for discussion will be ways for the city to work with lenders and community advocates to help homeowners in danger of losing their homes, get borrowers in adjustable-rate mortgages into a lower fixed-rate mortgage and confront the security and blight issues created by vacant houses.

With the collapse of subprime loans and the poor economy, banks have seized thousands of homes in metro Detroit.

Just last week, RealtyTrac reported that metro Detroit ranked second in the nation among the 100 largest metropolitan regions with one out of 33 homes subject to a foreclosure filing. Stockton, Calif., led the nation.

Kilpatrick also will soon appear in a series of public service announcements on radio and television in which he urges people to confront any problems they are having or could have in paying off their loans by calling their lender or a financial counselor.

The public service announcement was funded by the Mortgage Bankers Association, which aided a similar campaign in Ohio that a spokeswoman said caused tremendous interest in residents seeking help.

One source of angst that will be a topic of the mayors' meeting is how to address maintenance of homes in foreclosure.

After Indian Village neighbors caught a man who broke into the vacant house next door to Katsma, police detained him, but the bank that owns the home did not press charges, much to the neighborhood's anger.

Jason Megie, the real estate agent trying to sell the property on Seminole, said banks simply have too many properties in foreclosure to pursue every case.

The intruder was caught before he stole anything, making him a low priority, Megie said.

Between 60% and 70% of the 150 foreclosed homes he has in Detroit have had their plumbing stripped, he said.

"To go sit in 36th District Court with thousands of people for four hours for the person to get a $50 ticket, it's not worth it," he said.
