Is The California "Dream For All" Loan Predatory Lending?
Real Estate Realities With The RebelBroker
If you think of predatory lending as any borrowing scenario that has a high probability of causing issues for the borrower, I think that there is a good chance we should chat about the "California Dream For All" loan program from CalHFA (California Housing Finance Agency). Schemes like this are predicated on the idea that the price of real estate will continue to rise. As we all know, that is not always true. During the last downturn, nothing was more saddening than trying to help people who had tried to take advantage of these programs and been left completely upside down and being...

info_outlineWhat is the biggest trick real estate agents use when working with clients? We will discuss that today!
For those of you that have been listening to my show for a while, you know that I take a slightly different approach. In terms of what I consider to be the "Right" way to do things, the current dominant attitude in real estate just does not make the cut. Today, we are going to reveal the greatest weapon that real estate agents will bring out to get you to make an emotional rather than a rational decision. It is a tool that is taught by EVERYONE in real estate. On its own, it is not a bad thing. To one degree or another, we all do it every day. However, when this tool is taken to the degree that you embrace the 'small deception' - which is standard operating procedure in the world of real estate - you are crossing a line that leads to an attitude that too easily can brush the truth aside for more and more critical issues - which is a bad thing. Now you see what I did there? I have teased the point of todays show hard. I am told that this is the way to write show notes! So consider yourself teased! I will not only lay out what this tool is and how it is used against you, but how you should counter it so that you can get what you deserve from your chosen real estate professional. Oh, and for all you real estate agents out there, we will chat about how you can still use this technique, just not be a lying butt head about it.
