Very often we have requests for Fort Lauderdale Waterfront Foreclosures and very often I sit down to write personal notes discussing the Fort Lauderdale Real Estate market and how the finest properties in the Ft Lauderdale Real Estate market are simply not sitting on the foreclosure lists waiting for the right buyer to come along.

At Eric Miller and Associates numerous articles have been written about the value of the land in Fort Lauderdale Real Estate.

As ususal I am on my computer very early trying to be just a little bit a head of my competitors as I investigate the activities of the night before. Was it all quiet in the Ft.

I'm sorry I haven't written in while, but contrary to what the media is saying, we are busy. Our business is ahead of last year and people are buying the bargains to be had in the Fort Lauderdale area. We are working harder than ever, and it is frustrating to see how a correction in the real estate market, has caused banks to stick their heads in the sand, run for cover, and ultimately create a run on real estate and their own banks. I am not smart enough to comment on if the bailout being discussed is the right thing to do, but I have enough common sense to know executives who failed to perform should be given a ticket to Florida instead of a paycheck. We have many bargains that I am sure they can afford. Sincerely I don't blame banks solely for this…

There are few people out there who would say that the banks had their eyes clearly on their businesses with an end in sight as they made loans to people who really couldn't afford them with more and more convoluted terms. I am sure it would be hard to find people to stand up and profess " the banks now get it they are in control of what they are doing now". At FortLauderdaleGroup.com our goal is to help you make a good Fort Lauderdale real estate investments and avoid many of the pitfalls of an unloved, foreclosed property.
