SilverLeaf Seminars discusses the advantages of buying mortgages instead of real estate. Bonus, they are giving a free house to a lucky seminar attendee!

Salt Lake City, UT--Aug 28, 2009 “SilverLeaf Seminars recently announced they

will start a series of courses in mid September to educate people on how to evaluate, buy, and service residential and commercial real estate mortgage debt. They will also be giving away a house to a lucky attendant.  During these seminars a drawing will be held and the chosen winner will win a house in Indiana or Ohio.  The winner will be able to experience first-hand the process of working out the mortgage debt alongside the instructors.  It will be a fantastic opportunity for the lucky winner.  By attending the seminar all attendees are automatically entered into the drawing.

Tickets for the Seminar are only $20 each.  The seminars will take place on

September 17 and 23, 2009 at 7:00 p.m. at Silver Leaf’s Corporate Office located at 224 S. 200 W. suite 110, Salt Lake City. There will also be a live webinar during the same time.  The courses will educate potential purchasers and real estate investors on the mortgage loan buying process, and guide them step by step from A - Z on how to work out the loan.  Course subjects will include How to Buy a Mortgage, Mortgage Evaluation, The Work-Out Process, Title Law, Financing, and Property Management to name a few.  These courses will be taught by experienced professionals specializing in their individual fields such as law, real estate, finance, investing, and mortgage origination. 

Shane Baldwin, CEO/Founder of SilverLeaf Companies says, “This is a relatively new market for real estate investors.  Buying mortgages can have advantages over buying real estate.  Traditionally you have two options when buying real estate.  You can buy a house, fix it up and sell it in hopes of making a profit, or you can buy and hold, and let it appreciate.  With mortgages, you have many more options.  For example you can service the mortgage by collecting monthly payments for the life of the loan.  You can resell the mortgage to another investor for a profit.  You can foreclose on the property, take title, and then rent or sell the home.  These mortgages can be bought for pennies on the dollar, and the purchaser can use the

strategies we will teach to hopefully make solid decisions.”

Baldwin goes on to say his goal with these courses is to educate people on how to buy mortgages at a discount, and work them out while creating a win/win for both the investor, and the borrowers. The purpose is strictly educational, and it’s really a great way to learn how to acquire real estate through purchasing the debt.  I’m excited to teach people what I have learned to do successfully myself.  It’s also an opportunity to help the borrowers themselve’s stay in their homes by modifying their loan amount, or possibly restructuring a payment plan that will work better for them.”
