St Louis Mo July 12, 2010- With bank owned real estate becoming an unnerving standard in the US economy, many investors have responded by trying to capitalize on obvious potential, but unfortunately running into unexpected obstacles either from a lack of real estate market knowledge or perhaps from being misinformed by the hundreds of questionable infomercials promising millions to new investors.  Mark Bradley, professional commercial and residential real estate investor, begins his new ‘buy bulk REO properties’ campaign describing what events lead up to his discovery of the profit potential in bulk REO real estate, and how he can help other investors easily find significant profit in bulk REO properties themselves.

According to Realty track, the figures below describe the current real estate market:

• 1 in every 399 housing units went into foreclosure May 2010
• 322,920 new foreclosures filed.
• California, 72,030 foreclosures.
• 2,075,563 Foreclosed Homes Nationwide.

44,623 foreclosure sales may 2010These figures indicate that, on average, 278,297 bank owned properties currently remain unsold, and over 300,000 new listings will be added to the bank inventory of REO properties each month.  Bradley, a commercial and residential real estate investor, comments that on his company website, he has posted videos describing his experience of being introduced to the market, and how he has finally found a way investors can take advantage of the back log of bank owned REO properties.

To uplift the economy, banks must rid of the excess unpaid mortgages from foreclosures quickly, and have resorted to market-bottom prices, which ideally promise opportunity to real estate investors.  The problem investors commonly ran into was an unresponsive market unwilling to purchase the REO properties the investors sunk time and money into.

Bradley explains that four years ago, due to mounting tax pressure and suffering from burn out after divesting many real estate properties, running multiple companies, managing 20 to 30 employees within each company, and finding no time for his four children, he chose to downsize from the corporate world to a home office after seeing many TV and Internet ads promising fortunes to those who invested in short sales and foreclosures.  As a current real estate professional, he thought that the real estate market decline potentially meant profit and more time with his high school-aged children.

Bradley, like many in his shoes said, “If they can make a million dollars with foreclosures I can too!”

With college tuitions looming, and a college fund already depleted to the point where money needed to be acquired immediately, Bradley invested in dozens of short sale books, foreclosure courses, and attended expensive seminars from the most popular foreclosure gurus.  Two months into consuming all of the informational resources Bradley found available, the market faced the worst downturn.

Bradley started with a few investment deals buying REO properties.  “Buying short sales and foreclosures was a lot of work.  Emphasize lots!” says Bradley.

On top of the work required, Bradley opposed capitalizing on homeowners experiencing distress and devastation.  Even though real estate investors were providing assistance when buying REO real estate, being under financial strain with his own children’s tuitions, Bradley sympathized with the fear and frustrations these homeowners experienced.  Bradley found himself befriending homeowners and becoming a counselor figure.  Unfortunately, he found that counselors didn’t get the property deals.

After experiencing the same frustration that many new investors do trying to find the best deals, Bradley grew wary of investing in another property should the market drop another 20%, and he found hesitation in the government’s actions in mortgage intervention.  He feared that President Obama would outlaw mortgage interest deduction for homeowners.  Suddenly Bradley faced three college tuition deadlines.  He had to do something quickly, and he still believed that investing in bank owned real estate had the financial potential he imagined from the beginning.

After already having spent tens of thousands of dollars on short sale seminars, courses, and book, Bradley faced financial despair.  The short sale guru’s had failed to mention that the millions promised to him “could take up to one year of more to do just one short sale deal and that’s if the planet’s are inline,” says Bradley.
Bradley took an entire new approach instead of focusing on time consuming short sale deals.
In the next press release, Bradley describes how he broke down the time consuming short sale business into a 5 steps. If you fail to complete any of these 5 steps it is impossible to make any money in short sales.

As a real estate professional who wants to utilize the Internet for social marketing, you can consider starting a blog for your business. In this case you must update your ping list. You must always keep in mind that the bigger is your ping list, the greater will be the chances of generating traffic to your real estate site.

Blogging is always a beneficial tool for social marketing. This is because most blogs generally have the facility to “ping” the servers whenever you post any new content. This, in turn, enables the blog search engines to supply fresh and new information by essentially indexing the updates of fresh content. Having a ping list can thus be very useful.

If you want to locate a ping list, you will be surprised to find innumerable ping lists that simply float around in the World Wide Web. There are many such lists that even have more than fifty ping services. Thus, you can easily utilize such ping lists for your real estate social marketing.

When you are looking for a ping list, you must keep certain things in mind. There are many such lists that contain servers of individual pinging as well as those services that can ping numerous servers. This signifies that if you implement such lengthy lists then you might end up pinging the very same server more than three times. This will make you appear as a ping spammer which is not appreciable.

In order to deal with the menace of ping spams, there has been a development in ping-o-matic. Currently it has the ability to submit in more places and spots than they were able to do so in the last year. A shorter and more effective ping list will considerably cut down on the odds of getting the label of a ping spammer accidentally.

Many experts of real estate ping list owners and users recommend the usage of the Smart Update Pinger plugin. This plugin will typically ping specific services only if you post an article and not when you are editing it. With the help of this tool you can also find out if there are any services that refuse requests for pinging for your website.

Thus, in such situations, you can easily remove them from such a ping list and you will not waste any time by pinging them uselessly. Therefore, using a ping list can be very beneficial for your real estate venture if you know sufficiently about it. These lists can become useful tools for the purpose of online real estate social marketing.

You must always ensure that your blog on real estate is convenient to use and provides a visual experience that is pleasing. You can consider implementing clear titles and spaced out paragraphs to make it attractive for spiders of search engines and human web surfers. Blog tagging will further enhance its value.

Blog tagging will allow you to categorize every blog post that you write. You simply need to add tags to it. These tags will enable you as well as other members to understand the content of the post very easily and even locate related posts. You can also include tags to your real estate even when you are writing it. After you publish a blog post, you can add tags to it. You will have to only click on the link that says, “Edit Your Tags” beside it.

This is because the tags will automatically popup in the form of content on your web pages as crawlers will search through them.

A Tag Cloud with respect to blog tagging is a very common occurrence. You must have seen numerous without even realizing what they are.

Usually, the more popular words are written in larger fonts.

If you click on any word, you can search for blogs having the specific word as keywords that are assigned to every blog entry. Thus, with the tags, labels and keywords users can locate your blogs very easily through searches on specific sites such as technorati or by carrying out organic searches with the help of search engines. These aspects are essential to blog tagging.

Another significant feature of blog tagging is the use of TwitScoop. It works very similarly to the Tag Cloud. It will basically provide you with a group or cloud of words that are popular and mostly used on Tweets in the current situation. These are the ones that occur most commonly on Twitter.com. The bigger any word appears in terms of its font, the more popularly used it is.

You can add it to the bar of your gadget and instantly a window will pop out displaying you the keywords that have been currently discussed. You can note them and follow them closely.

When you implement blog pinging, a signal of XML-RPC will be delivered to either one or sometimes more “ping servers”. This, in turn, will produce a list of blogs having new and updated material. There are numerous tools of blog authoring that can ping multiple servers every time you create a new blog post or update an existing one.

If you wish to utilize blog pinging for enhancing your real estate social marketing advertising, you will find many options that can help you achieve this. There are many open ping servers that allow other web services to gain a subscription of a blog list that have pinged them recently. Search engines of blogs can also produce new results instantly by polling those blogs that have been newly updated.

Apart from open ping servers, blog pinging also involves the use of proprietary ping servers. These servers basically collect information and data only for their individual and personal applications. You will find that a majority of popular search engines activate these types of ping servers.

The distinction between open and proprietary ping servers is that the latter possessing their own applications for subscription, do not feel compelled to share their obtained ping information with the other servers. Since they do not share their obtained data, you might need to ping a considerable number of different servers for achieving your targeted publicity for your business. For carrying out blog pinging in these cases, you can turn to services such as the popular and reliable Ping-O-Matic that will enable you to ping numerous proprietary ping servers.

In order to make the process of blog pinging even more useful and beneficial, Google has made a recent announcement that the pinging service of Google Blog Search is currently accepting pings from all blogs. To ensure that your latest posts get featured on Google’s Blog Search results, you must ping them whenever you create and post a new blog. There are two broad methods of doing this.

The first method of blog pinging is that of Manual Ping. It is a very straightforward method and you will need to visit http://blogsearch.google.com/ping and make an entry of the URL of your real estate blogs whenever you update them. The second method is Automatic Ping. Here Wordpress will ping Google automatically whenever you update your blog. You have to add http://blogsearch.google.com/ping/ to the box of your Update Services in the administration area of your Wordpress.

Therefore blog pinging can be a useful method when implemented properly. You can use blog pinging to establish your online presence in the business of real estate and property dealings. With this all your clients will know if you are updating the list of properties with addition or deletion.
