After earning a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Minnesota, he began his career as a design engineer at NASA’S Johnson Space Center. Later he worked at Andersen Consulting (now Accenture) where he integrated package software and redesigned business processes for Fortune 500 companies. In his early 20s, despite working long hours in the corporate world, Daniel started investing in real estate. In less than two years, he bought 17 properties. Having made his first million, he switched career paths to real estate investing. Daniel moved to Arizona a decade ago to build Investment Property Experts, which offers brokerage services, renovation, property management, financing, accounting services and more. Today, IPX is the only turn-key, full-service, real estate investment solution provider in Arizona. Daniel shares his insights on 550AM KFYI every Sunday, 10 a.m. to noon. In his free time, Daniel enjoys hockey and traveling - but most of all he and his wife Arcelie enjoy playing with their 5 year old son. 3 WHY INVEST IN PHOENIX ARIZONA REAL ESTATE? The greater Phoenix area's sunny climate, vibrant lifestyle and prospering business community attract thousands of visitors, new residents and entrepreneurs annually. The nation's sixth-largest city, Phoenix continues to grow and remains a desirable destination for travelers and dreamers alike. More than four million people call the Valley of the Sun home, and enjoy its 300 annual days of sunshine, while another 13 million visit Phoenix each year for its outstanding weather, beautiful landscapes and southwestern hospitality. A hub of business activity, the Valley boasts global companies such as Avnet, Republic Services, Freeport McMoran, American Express, US Airways and many more. Residents enjoy relaxed living and numerous outlets for recreation and entertainment, including some 200 golf courses, pro and college sports teams, concert venues and museums. 4 THE PHOENIX MARKET IS STABILIZING When real estate is trending in a positive direction, like the current Phoenix market, investors can make a great deal of money by timing the market with their investment capital. The following summary of indicators and metrics shows why now is an excellent time in the Phoenix market to retire in the next 5 to 10 years through Real Estate Investing. • The phoenix metro market has moved back to a sellers' market due to a decline in supply and because "Boomerang Buyers" want to repurchase homes after experiencing a foreclosure or short sale. Also, Maricopa County has consistent population growth and one of the lowest unemployment rates in the nation, bringing an influx of new buyers into this market. In addition, homes are affordable, interest rates are low, and, as a result, mortgage payments are low. All of these factors will increase demand for the next three to four years, creating great opportunities for investors. • Phoenix is experiencing a decline in supply, with inventory between 20,000 and 25,000 compared with 35,000 in a normal time. Inventory will continue to be scarce in 2016 and 2017 as buyers who have lost their homes during the downturn continue to reenter the market. • Boomerang buyers will increase demand in phoenix over the next three to four years. Between 2008 and 2011, 40,000 to 60,000 homeowners per year experienced a foreclosure or short sale. After a foreclosure, people can repurchase a home after seven years; after a short sale, they can repurchase in three years. That means over the next four years, there's a potential influx of 250,000 buyers because 2015 is the first year they qualify for conventional financing. • Phoenix housing remains as affordable today as it was 10 years ago. A buyer could purchase a 1,950 square foot home today and pay a monthly mortgage of about $1,086 per month, the same payment a buyer purchasing in the summer of 2003 would have had. Also, interest rates are expected to remain relatively low. • Unemployment in Maricopa county is the lowest in the nation. Of course, employment is a large factor in both real estate supply and demand. Employed consumers can qualify for loans and employed homeowners maintain their payments, reducing delinquencies and preventing distressed listings from raising supply. Arizona has an unemployment rate of 6%, while Phoenix is only about 5%. • The housing supply shortage will continue and won't be fixed anytime soon, causing real estate values to increase. Retirees are migrating to Phoenix in greater numbers and, while home development historically follows population growth closely, home builders have not ramped up enough to meet the demand. Lagging new home development is a key indicator of an ongoing supply shortage. Disclaimer: All information and materials are for educational purposes only.

Phoenix is starting to experience the positive after-effects of the largest real estate downturn in the history of Arizona, going back to the Great Depression. As many as 250,000 displaced home owners are anxious to become property owners once again, creating a huge impact on real estate values. • Confidence is increasing for homeowners and builders. Along with hard facts, consumer emotions matter too when it comes to property values. Consumers often base their decision to buy or sell partly on how they feel about the economy, their neighborhood and their job. The Zillow Housing Confidence Index shows very positive sentiment towards the Phoenix market. Disclaimer: All information and materials are for educational purposes only.

All parties are encouraged to consult with their attorneys, accountants, and financial advisors before entering into any type of investment. DEED OF TRUST INVESTING Deed of Trust Investing is where you act like the bank, lending money to an investor that is purchasing property. The IRS requires a specific type of loan, called a non-recourse loan, for self-directed IRA owners to purchase investment real estate. This is a secured loan – in this case with the collateral of the rental property. Not all trust deeds are created equal. At IPX, we’ve designed safeguards into our program. You’re lending on renovated, occupied investment properties - not distressed, empty properties. You’re protected since the rental income exceeds the mortgage payment. Plus we reduce costly management issues with our professional property management. Also, we keep our eye on the end game with a well-defined exit strategy for our rental property investors. We’ll sell the property at the right time or help the rental property investor refinance. For additional protection, trust deed investors can sign up for our Foreclosure Mitigation Program (FMP) where we’re obligated to pay the borrowers’ mortgage if there is ever a missed monthly payment. Also, we’ll pay any outstanding interest and principal of the trust deed loan per the terms of the note. IPX provides trust deed investors with a consistent supply of income. Whether you have $100,000 or $1 million, you earn 9% annual return on your investment capital. We’re committed to ensuring your investment capital continues to work for you – so we have options for reinvesting. Deed of Trust Investor Cheat Sheet • You loan money to another IPX investor • These investors typically use their IRA/401K funds as down payment for their property • IRA/401k investment purchases require a nonrecourse loan so they will not qualify for conventional financing. • Typical down payment for a IRA/401(k) property purchase is 30% of purchase price • 9% annual rate of return • Typical Investment is $95,000 to $160,000 • 24 month note term • You have the option to extend the note after 24 months or get paid off • Interest only paid monthly (interest earned in arrears) • No closing costs • Closing documents are prepared by Grand Canyon Title • Recorded Deed of Trust mailed to your address on record. • Borrower pays a 3rd party (Grand Canyon Title) to service the loan for the next 24 months • Payments are collected by servicer and then sent to investor, typically mid-month • IPX offers a Foreclosure Mitigation Program (FMP) . This program is free of charge. If at anytime the borrower does not pay the mortgage, IPX will step-in and pay the mortgage on behalf of the borrower. You as a lender will be paid in full all the interest + principal owed to you. IPX will take over the property and foreclose on the borrower.

These tools offer unique insight into the current market as well as its future direction. We utilize these tools on a daily basis, constantly analyzing the market, so we are able to better advise clients and help them make strategic decisions to to buy and sell investment properties. KNOWING YOUR MARKET IS KEY.. We frequently publish a summary of our findings at IPX Wealth Workshops monthly. This information is only available to IPX Investors, and has proven to be an invaluable asset when it comes to market insight. The following are several of the key market indicators IPX encourages any investor to focus on when formalizing a Real Estate Investment strategy, and an example of the type of insightful information provided that gives any would be investor an edge in the market. SUPPLY OF HOMES Supply in the Phoenix Metropolitan area has been short since dipping below normal in the middle of 2015. This shift was not noticed immediately until it became more extreme. At that point, demand was still moderate and buyers found themselves in stiff competition for existing properties on the market. Active Listing Counts Maricopa County 14,000 Listings Normal Inventory Levels Hover around 35,000 There are a number of factors that could cause supply to increase: • Migration of homeowners relocating to areas outside of Phoenix • Homeowners selling and moving into an existing household, not purchasing • Increased new home development • Higher than normal delinquency rates that lead to bank-owned foreclosure or short sale inventory • Increase in sellers who must sell immediately due to financial hardship, divorce, unemployment, etc. Supply alone doesn't dictate future price shifts, but it is a very important indicator to watch. When a market is in undersupply, and demand is at normal or high levels, prices will increase. MLS INVENTORY MLS Inventory indicates how many days it would take to sell all the Active Listings if they were to sell at the rate implied by Annual Sales and assuming no new listings became active. It equals 365 x Active Listings / Annual Sales. This indicator can be measured by city or by price range. 85 Days Inventory The advantage of Days Inventory is that it's less subject to seasonal shifts in both inventory and sales, unlike the Months of Supply measurement. As a result, shifts on this chart cannot be explained away as seasonal and it's a more valuable indicator for investment decisions. In a balanced market, this number should be between 120 and 180 days. Disclaimer: All information and materials are for educational purposes only.

Clients of IPX may utilize non-affiliated service providers for any professional services offered by IPX or its affiliates 15 DELINQUENCIES The first indicator of a potential increase in foreclosure inventory is Delinquency Rates, followed by Notices of Trustee Sale, followed by actual Trustee Sales. Delinquency Rate is defined as any home that is past due 30 days or more on their mortgage. Mortgage delinquencies in Arizona have fallen well below the historical 5% average and way below the national average. Fewer delinquencies mean fewer foreclosures and short sales to add to inventory and put downward pressure on home values. Additionally, low delinquency rates remove the “declining market” stigma that Phoenix has endured, which allows mortgage underwriters to offer lending products that have not been available since the crash and ease up slightly on credit requirements. Arizona is also the state with the biggest percentage drop in delinquencies since its peak of 16.3% in February 2010. Currently our delinquency rate in Arizona is 3.5% which is 1.5% below the historical average. In 2016, expect lenders in Arizona to further loosen their guidelines which will make it easier for consumer buyers and investors to purchase real estate. Loosening guidelines leads to easier lending, and easier lending leads to more home sales, and more home sales leads to an appreciating real estate market. This combined with a sellers market denotes a recipe for profits and gains for real estate investors. Disclaimer: All information and materials are for educational purposes only.

Clients of IPX may utilize non-affiliated service providers for any professional services offered by IPX or its affiliates 16 INTEREST RATE AND MORTGAGE PAYMENTS Many articles have focused so strongly on annual price appreciation, that mortgage payments have been overlooked. Mortgage principle and interest payments are as low as they were over 11 years ago despite the price increases. Take our example below of a 1,950 square foot home, which is the typical size of a home purchased in the Phoenix Metro area. Even though the price of a 1950 square foot home has increased over $63,000 (or 31%) since November 2008, the mortgage payment has only gone up by $18. Nearly 12 years ago, in July 2003 the average payment was only $25 less than today for the same sized property. This level of affordability combined with so many additional boomerang buyer entering the home market will continue to drive appreciation in Arizona.

However, while homebuilders downsized and liquidated with the drop in population growth, they have not ramped up enough to meet demand from the rebound. This trend is a key indication that our supply shortage is chronic and will not be solved in the near future. Based on our current and projected population growth documented by local government and institutions and the Census Bureau, builders have been utilizing their acquired land to build more multi-family developments. Within the last 3 years, multi-family permits have already increased to historically normal levels although new construction permits continue to remain at below normal levels Disclaimer: All information and materials are for educational purposes only.

Clients of IPX may utilize non-affiliated service providers for any professional services offered by IPX or its affiliates 18 PRICE TRENDS The long term trend line for real estate prices usually follows an appreciation rate between 3%-5%. The last balanced market in Greater Phoenix was 2001/2002 and then in 2014, had we followed the historical trend our price per square foot would lie between $160 and $180 price per square foot. As the distressed market continues to dissipate, it's reasonable to expect the overall price calculation to enter the long term historical zone within the next year and level out to the current non-distressed annual appreciation rate. Considering Phoenix was in a balanced market in 2014 and then in March of 2015 proceeded to re-enter a Sellers market while boomerang buyers continue purchase homes. It is likely that the price per square foot trend line will catch up to the 2001/2002 market trend in the next 2-3 years. Interest rates remain low, housing continues to be affordable, delinquency rates are well below normal levels, lending guidelines are loosening and inventory levels are low while we have growing buyer demand. Investors are also loosing confidence in the stock market which is causing more investor capital to diversity into the real estate market.

Values below 100 indicate a buyer's market, values above 100 indicate a seller's market and 100 indicates a balanced market. TURNING POINT May 2005 Seller’s Market Annual appreciation predicted to be positive Seller’s Market Buyer’s Market PRICE IS A TRAILING INDICATOR, meaning that it's the last thing to respond to shifts in supply and demand. The first thing to respond will be the Cromford Market Index. As long as values are above 110, prices will rise, below 90 prices will fall and between 90 and 110 they will stabilize. Prices will peak or bottom approximately 6 months after any major crossover of the 100 mark. This is primarily because of a delay in reporting final sales prices by the Maricopa County Recorder's Office and slow moving consumer sentiment regarding market shifts. The overlay above proves this point. The Cromford Market Index peaked in May 2005 and sharply dropped. However prices continued to rise until peaking 6 months after crossing over into a Buyer's Market. Investors who saw this shift (which were few) had 7 months to sell their property while prices were still rising and demand still outweighed supply. Those who didn't see the shift found themselves in a Buyer's Market at the peak of price, with long marketing times, increased competition, few buyers and significant seller concessions to sell. Prices started to gradually fall, but what truly caused the crash was when lending froze. As foreclosure inventory rose exponentially, lending became so strict that few buyers could qualify to absorb it. This sharp increase in inventory, followed by a sharp decrease in buyers (especially luxury buyers over $500K), resulted in the price collapse of 2008. The first-time homebuyer credit acted as a speed bump to this decline, but once it expired both the market and prices adjusted to where they would've been anyway. FORECLOSURES The first big wave of foreclosures was in 2008 and continued through 2011. Starting in 2015 these Boomerang Buyers started to reenter the market. This renewed buying activity will fuel consistent growth in coming years. Wait Year 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 The 7 year waiting period ended in 2015 for 38,000 people that have been foreclosed on in 2008. This began the first wave of “boomerang buyers” re-entering the market after foreclosure. The next wave of another 40,000 people will hit our real estate market in 2016 as illustrated by yellow highlighted area above. This will continue for another 3 years which creates an excellent opportunity for real estate investors to buy and rent their property as demand continues to push real estate values higher and higher. SHORT SALES A large number of Phoenix area home owners went through short sales starting in 2009 through 2012. The waiting period to reenter the market is 4 years for conventional financing which means that many of these buyers will continue to reenter the market in 2016. Because lending guidelines have started to ease and the market has stabilized, these buyers will find it easier to qualify now than if they were trying to reenter the market several years ago. Wait Year 1 2 3 4 The 4 year waiting period ended in 2015 for the 23,000 people who short sold their property in 2011. This added to the other 38,000 people who also lost their property due to foreclosure in 2008. In 2016, it is expected that another 25,000 potential buyers may reenter the home buying market after having sold their home via short sale in 2012.

Clients of IPX may utilize non-affiliated service providers for any professional services offered by IPX or its affiliates 22 FINANCING Financing guidelines have loosened starting in 2015 which has made it easier for buyers to qualify for financing if they have had a short sale, foreclosure or bankruptcy. In fact, a few interesting guideline changes include: down payment requirements for conventional financing changed from 10% to 3%. FHA Mortgage Insurance had been cut by ½ and if you have had a combination foreclosure and bankruptcy you may now qualify for conventional financing in just 4 years. CONTRACT RATIO To determine how hot or cold a market is, look at the number of contracts written in relation to what is currently active. The Contract Ratio does this by comparing listings under contract with active listings. This number can fluctuate if there is either a shift in buyer contracts or inventory. A ratio under 30 represents a cold market, between 30 and 60 represents a warm market, more than 60 is hot and over 100 is a frenzied market. A strong yet stable market is between 50 to 100, in which the 12month price per square foot trend will continue in the same direction. DISTRESSED PROPERTY INDEX Current supply consists primarily of normal sales because there is no longer a large number of lender owned, short sale or trustee sale properties. So it follows that the distressed index is quite low, indicating solid projected return on properties. 24 MARKET OUTLOOK Most investors believe the real estate market is volatile and unpredictable, the fact is, real estate market cycles are very measureable and predictable. By understanding leading technical indicators an investor may better understand where the market is going for the next 12 months. Most predicable market investments yield ultra low annual rate of returns, such as annuities, bonds and CDs. While investments such as deed of trusts and investment real estate are not only predictable but also yield much higher double digit returns. While investment real estate in most cases requires a more hands on approach, deed of trusts are both predictable and yield a great return. In 2004 we saw the Market Index increase to beyond 125 which indicated we were in a sellers market. In 2006 we saw the index go below 50 which indicated we were in a buyers market. This indicator is most valuable when determining to buy or sell investment real estate. 25 MARKET INDEX The market index has increased in 2015 due to the shortage of inventory and moderate demand. With interest rates low, demand will continue to grow. Furthermore, many consumers who have lost their home due to foreclosure or short sale are looking to regain home ownership. The Market Index is much higher than it was in 2014, as 2014 was known as a balanced market, which isn’t bad, just different. We can expect to see much higher appreciation in 2015 and 2016 since the Market Index is now at 140. The Market Index is a leading indicator that determines whether or not the real estate market will appreciate or depreciate in value. 26 MARKET INDEX By overlaying the 2015 Market Index on top of the 2011 Market Index we can see how the Indexes are similar. Since both are seller markets, it is likely the real estate market will appreciate similar to how it did in 2011 and 2012. Do not expect to see the same peak appreciation rates of 30% as we had in 2012 because most properties purchased in 2011 and 2012 were 2011 Index severely distressed and required extensive 2015 Index renovation. In many cases investors purchased a property for $120,000, spent $40,000 on renovation and then sold the property for $180,000. Public records may have recorded the sale as though the property appreciated by 50% but in reality the investor realized an actual gain of 17%. In 2016 most properties sold were not nearly as distressed as properties sold in 2011 and 2012. By understanding the current real estate cycle, we may anticipate a certain amount of appreciation in the real estate market. Like 2011 and 2012 (refer to the left yellow highlighted section below) this year presents real estate investors an unique opportunity to invest in real estate while experiencing a sellers market (refer to the right yellow highlighted section below). Since the Market Index is currently at 132 which is much higher than normal, this is the perfect indicator that communicates the real estate market will continue to appreciate through 2016. 40% 30% 10% The dark black line represents the market index. The vertical blue lines represents percent appreciation In 2004 and 2005 we experienced another increase in the market which resulted in a real estate crash. However our current Market Index is not as high and with new financing guidelines in place, it is not likely we will experience a real estate crash in the near future DANIEL BUTTERFIELD’S ANALYSIS In my 17 years of investing, in both up and down markets, I bring my engineering background to analyze the market. I review even more than the statistics you see in this guide to determine the best strategy, with the most profit for the least amount of headaches and risk. Luckily, right now in the greater Phoenix market, it doesn't take an engineering degree to determine if this is a good time to invest. Indicator after indicator point to the same conclusion – this market has stabilized and will continue growing steadily for several years. One of the top reasons for continued growth is that Boomerang Buyers are looking to repurchase, increasing demand for the next three to four years. That means about 250,000 people who lost their homes due to foreclosure or short sale are now ready to reenter the housing market. Also, homes are affordable, interest rates remain at historic lows, unemployment in Maricopa County has one of the lowest rates in the nation and population is consistently growing. This is the perfect scenario for real estate investors to invest in single family homes. It's the time when you can earn significant profit in three to five years to accelerate your retirement. These are great conditions to enable you to substantially increase your investment capital, create yield, and protect your assets. However, with these profitable conditions comes plenty of competition. That's why my team is out daily scouring properties that you, or even a realtor, might miss. We know how to find good investment properties, even pre-foreclosures which require more work than typical properties. "Before I roll out investment strategies to our clients, I put my own money into each and every one of them. Then I test, analyze, fine-tune and perfect the system. That's the engineer in me. Only after I've proven the profit potential to myself am I ready to offer new strategies to our clients." -Daniel Butterfield Based on current market conditions, my investment strategy calls for acquiring single family homes with positive cash flow. IPX looks for properties with a minimum of three bedrooms, two baths and 1,400 to 2,500 square feet in targeted neighborhoods. We use a variety of indicators to find these properties which our experience has shown have the highest growth potential. Some people think the real estate market is volatile. Instead it is measurable and predictable over the short term. Disclaimer: All information and materials are for educational purposes only. Returns and appreciation rates displayed are estimates only.

What if the market fell? For investors who purchased a good property, renovated it, screened qualified renters, and have it well managed, there's no need to panic. Rental income continues to offset debt because even in a down market, rents typically hold up. You may temporarily lose equity, however time is on your side. Stay cash-flow positive while continuing to assess the market until it's right for you to sell. Or, if you were an IPX investor during the downturn, you didn't even have those considerations. Thanks to the Cromford Report and other data, we predicted the crash of 2007 and advised our clients on how best to manage their investments before real estate values deceased significantly. This illustrates the beauty of the hold strategy (in contrast to a flipping strategy) that I recommend. It allows the investor to be successful in a variety of market conditions. Much of American's wealth has been accumulated through real estate investing – simply by the average American owning their own home. It's time to take that concept and raise it to another level. Many Americans are dissatisfied with the current rate of return on traditional stocks and bonds and are turning to real estate investing. You don't tell a stock broker, "Here's $100,000 – I want you to double it in three years." But I've seen that happen many times at IPX thanks to leverage (and our expertise!). I've helped many clients invest in properties and double their money. It's not a guarantee – it's a goal. I recommend diversifying your portfolio with real estate. As you can see, conditions are ideal to take the next step. Join me and my clients on the path to early retirement. Rule of 72 Albert Einstein loved the power of compound interest and so will you. Here's a simple way to determine how long it will take to double your investment. Divide 72 by the annual rate of interest your money is earning to figure out how many years until it will double. For example, if you're earning 9%, you double your money in eight years. And at 20%, it would only take 3.6 years. Disclaimer: All information and materials are for educational purposes only.

However, it is possible. Look at these four properties, purchased by an actual IPX investor. Note how he developed a portfolio of properties with over $250,000 in equity which currently yields an estimated 14.6% return. This is one IPX investor's success story – there are thousands of others. So the good news is, by following the IPX strategies, this success story is repeatable.

Some investors procrastinated because they were sure the real estate market was coming back. Some investors listened to the wrong real estate professionals and analysts who claimed: • the real estate market wasn't going to recover until 2015 • the real estate market was going to decline in 2012 • it would takes years to clear out the lender owned inventory • we were in another real estate bubble If you would have listened to any of these predictions, you too would have been wrong about the 2011 to 2014 real estate market cycle. In fact the 2011-2014 real estate market cycle ramped up to be one of the most profitable seller markets since 2004-2006. Lender owned inventory cleared out in 2012 and real estate values appreciated back to normal levels by 2014. This market cycle featured high inventory levels and even higher buyer demand from investors taking advantage of low priced cash flowing rental properties. Financing was more of a challenge however many investors purchased their assets with cash to eliminate appraisal and financing challenges. Many investors regretted their procrastination when it came to investing in the local phoenix real estate market often wishing they had a second chance to take advantage of another sellers market. Now comes your second chance! As we entered 2014 the Phoenix real estate market became balanced and for the most part normal until March of 2015. At this time the real estate market index started its steady increase from 105 to 148 which caused the phoenix real estate market to go into another sellers market which caused Phoenix real estate to appreciate again. This time the market is appreciating for different reasons. We have ultra low inventory levels and moderate demand from consumer buyers that have lost their home due to foreclosures or short sales. This organic demand is better then the artificial investor demand created in 2011 and 2012. The 2015 market demand is more predictable and is causing bigger jumps in real estate values than the previous market cycles which is creating more profitable investment opportunities than what was available in 2011.

In this example, we have seen values double over the course of the last 5 years. This investor purchased their properties with all cash, no financing. If this investor would have purchased these properties with 30% down, 70% ltv financing their estimated annual rate of return would have been 73%. The years 2010 and 2011 represented the bottom of the real estate market. However during this time Phoenix had excess inventory on the market and the primary demand were investors purchasing this excess inventory.

In this example, we have seen values nearly double over the course of the last 5 years. This investor purchased their properties with all cash, no financing. If this investor would have purchased these properties with 30% down, 70% ltv financing their estimated annual rate of return would have been 60%. Although the real estate market appreciated in value over the course of the last 5 years value jumps were limited. Appraisers that valued properties on conventional financing purchases often ignored certain high comparables and used lender owned or short sale comparables to keep values in check. Appraisers were more conservative during this time because they were unsure about how fast the Phoenix real estate market was going to recover.

In this example, we have seen values increase by $325,000 over the course of the last 6 months. This investor purchased their properties financing, 30% down, 70% ltv. Their estimated annual rate of return is 173%. Our analysis indicates the 2015 – 2018 Phoenix real estate market cycle will yield higher profits than the 2011 Phoenix real estate market cycle. As we take a closer look at the 2 market cycles we see that real estate values are jumping in value due to low inventory levels and growing consumer demand from people who have lost their home due to a foreclosure or short sale and now they would like to regain home ownership. Their waiting period is over and they can now qualify for conventional financing. This is causing 250,000 potential home owners re-enter the market over the next 3-4 years which is has created another sellers market which will be more profitable and more predictable than the 2011 sellers market. The bottom line: its not too late to capture the upside of this real estate market. Disclaimer: All information and materials are for educational purposes only.
