The Coolest Non-Profit in Houston

The votes are in and there's no doubt who the coolest non-profit in Houston is the Fanatical Change Foundation. We just had our Hollywood Halloween Party and it was incredible. There were several obstacles in making event a huge success. Matt and Mark Smith were gentlemen with the Houston Motor Club. In the end we made it incredible. Thanks to great folks at The House of Blues, Verizon Theatre, and Houston Motor Club we rocked that venue unlike any party they've ever had.

The painting of Ali was something so incredible that I was inspired to paint! Okay, maybe not, but I was inspired. Martin is an incredible artist and his work is amazing. Everyone that came out loved the party and we raised enough money to help 6 families. I hope you'll check out the video below that was on Fox who was live at our event and the videos of us helping the families at our website at www.fanaticalchange.org. Thank you to every person who's ever supported this amazing cause. On behalf of the volunteers and the families... THANK YOU!

HBJ Finalist for 2010 Non-Profit CFO of the Year

Hey RICH Club Fans! (The Realty Investment Club of Houston)

You already know we have the most incredible real estate investment club in Houston and in the country. Yes, I'm a little biased because I've spent a good part of my adult life within this great education providing power house of an organization. In fact, I've spent the last 5/6 years volunteering on the Board of Directors and in other areas.

What's my point? Well... I’m proud to share with you that the Houston Business Journal named me as a 2010 Finalist for the Non-Profit CFO of the Year.

The final determination is May 21st and I look forward to attending and representing our great organization.

The RICH Club is surrounded by many other organizations, such as Lifestyles Unlimited, The Wealth Club, The Newbie Club, Gordon Appleby, and several notable players in the Houston real estate market. Despite the various objectives of all of these organizations, the RICH Club has remained the pillar of single family real estate investing, subject-to, short-sales, owner financing, creative financing, apartment and multi-family property investing, and landlording education in the city of Houston for more than 30 years.

As a company, Zeus Mortgage, has been a vendor of RICH for many years. We've been proud to offer real estate investors, including newbies, non-owner occupied investor long-term loans. They requested hard money lending and rehab loans so we introduced our own hard money loan several years ago. We help home buyers also who need Houston FHA loans and Houston FHA lenders and Houston FHA mortgages to finance their homes. Lastly, we work with jumbo and super jumbo mortgages so investors who really want to buy big.

I hope to find out on May 21st if I'm more than a finalist, but I'm extremely honored either way. The Baldest Guy in Houston!

HAFA - Short Sale and Loan Modifications that Work

We've all heard the stories of the family who negotiated with the bank for months on a short sale and the bank makes the buyer and the home owner jump over hundreds of hoops. I was personally involved in one of these about 2 years ago with a Galleria highrise unit that I wanted to purchase. The short version to the story is that the home owner purchased the property for 450k and it was only work 200k. Its funny because I offered the bank 225k (25k more than its worth) and after a year.... 12 months... they finally decided to accept my offer and I had already moved on to greener pastures. The building was an outdated highrise called the Campton on Woodway and Post Oak. Lot's of speculative investors bought in the building after the thing nearly went belly up.

I digress, the Federal government has just finished rolling out the HAFA program which will help families who are trying to sell on a short sale. In an earlier post I mentioned a few of the highlights and I was recently able to share my insights on CBS News with the awesome report Christine Haas. She's interviewed me, on behalf of Zeus Mortgage, for other stories on low rate mortgage, FHA financing, and cash-out refinancing. Here is the recent clip:

CBS has an amazing light (camera) guy... obviously, because he shaded the shinny bald head I have. If you haven't heard, I am the "baldest guy in Houston". That's not somethign I'm necessarily proud of but don't you think bald guys look smarter? Okay, not the comb over bald guys, but the shaved bald guys.

Back to short sales... they looks like the first government program in a long time that is designed to actually work and not just pretend to be a solution to a huge problem.

Until next time!
