Carnival of Real Estate Investment

Welcome to the March 12, 2007 edition of carnival of real estate investing.

This Carnival will be simulcast here, and on the almost ready for primetime REagent in Connecticut. If back linking, please link there I appreciate it. The Carnival of Real Estate Investing is one of the more narrowly focused carnivals out there but still important. I encourage everyone to give it your support.

In keeping with my awards for the 4th Consumer Focused Carnival of Real Estate, I'm going with a Gold - Silver - Bronze system. Bronze being a good post, though perhaps better suited to another carnival. Silver being a genuinely good post and in keeping with the spirit of the carnival. Gold being a silver quality post, but with something specially worthwhile about it.

I did deep six two entries. One had nothing to do about real estate and the second already appeared in this weeks Carnival of Real Estate.


Gold - Michael Cook presents Real Estate Investment Theories that can Actually Help You Make Money posted at BloodhoundBlog


"One of my pet peeves about most educational experiences is that there is too much theory and not enough practice. Worse yet, many of the theories do not work in practice. I thought I would spend some brief time outlining a few higher level theories that work and their implications in practice"




Silver - Michael Emilio presents Commercial Real Estate Investing Using Triple-Net Leases posted at MichaelEmilio.com.


"A triple-net lease property is a lease agreement on a property where the tenant (or lessee) is paying all of the real estate taxes (net), building insurance (net), and common area maintenance (net) on the property in addition to any normal fees expected under the agreement, such as rent."




Silver - Craig S. Higdon presents Commercial Real Estate Loan Myth Debunked! posted at Investment Property Insider.


"I’ve been asked a number of times about a certain type of commercial real estate financing that makes me begin to suspect that someone is out there selling investment property “treasure maps” for $5.00 each!"




Silver - Silicon Valley Blogger presents 6 Ways To Protect Yourself From Different Types Of Mortgage Fraud posted at The Digerati Life

"I received a call on Monday night from a woman who found my phone number on this blog. She was looking for a mortgage to purchase a home."




Bronze - University City Landlord presents 6 Highly Useful Tools to Take to a Showing posted at UC Landlord dot Com
