Roy’s Rules for 2011: New Year, New Normal

Tuesday, January 4th, 2011
Share|

You might have resolutions; I say let’s just rewrite the rules.  When it comes to surviving the real estate hangover from the past few years of excessive financial abuse, Florida homeowners need to sober up.

Roy Oppenheim New Rules for 2011

Here are my top 10 rules for 2011:

1.      Avoid the use of credit during a deflationary economy… use credit when inflation returns.

2.      Be prepared for when inflation does return, but don’t expect any real inflation while unemployment remains high.

3.      Don’t trust the Federal Reserve; they are here to protect themselves and their Wall Street friends.

4.      Don’t expect any more help from the government. You’re on your own.

5.      Use the existing rules of law and your legal rights to fight the banks.

6.      Only invest in deals that a smart 10-year-old would understand.

7.      Rent instead of own unless you plan on living in the property for at least five to seven years.

8.      Think of buying pre-owned vehicles instead of brand new ones.

9.      Be very careful with municipal bonds. Many cities and states will be doing strategic defaults due to high debt and pension obligations.

10.   Don’t sign obligations for your kids (like mortgages.) Not a good idea.

Most importantly:

Learn to breathe deeply, laugh, and get a good night’s sleep. Stress kills.   Remember… this is the new normal… get used to it.

From the trenches,

Roy Oppenheim

PS:

Tune into my next workshop, The Future of Foreclosures on January 12 from 6 to 7 pm or RSVP via email directly to Jackie@oplaw.net.

In Case you Missed it! Florida Foreclosure Workshop In Review

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

By Roy OppenheimPicture 20

Oppenheim Law marked its 16th Monthly legal real estate workshop last Thursday and thanks to you – our readers  – who attended or brought a friend, we continue to evaluate the real estate market.

For those not able to make the event, I have two pieces of good news for you:

  • Oppenheim Law is already preparing for our next free real estate workshop scheduled on Wednesday, March 3.
  • We have a recap of the workshop’s timely highlights

The most important message: things are changing.

  • 70% of foreclosure cases that go to mediation are settled.
  • Walking away from an underwater mortgage is no longer a moral decision. The banks were allowed to walk away from their monumental debt and write it off as a “business decision.” Why can’t homeowners do the same?
  • The crisis in Haiti will likely have an influence on the South Florida real estate landscape. Florida saw similar results after Hurricane Andrew when folks were searching for new places to live. Black Swan events like these are important to consider and watch.

Oppenheim Law stresses the importance of helping homeowners avoid deficiency judgments at all costs. Ignoring the foreclosure notice or moving out is perhaps not the best possible decision you can make.

While 97% of folks facing foreclosure are not represented by counsel, those who are have a much better chance of avoiding a deficiency judgment and saving their home.

We look forward to hearing your comments on our last workshop and invite you to join us on WEDNESDAY, March 3 (A Wednesday for this next month only!)

From the Trenches,

Roy Oppenheim

Roy Oppenheim and the Future of Foreclosures

Thursday, June 11th, 2009
Share|

Distressed homeowners are not alone thanks to Foreclosure Defense Attorney Roy Oppenheim as the staggering number of foreclosures continues to grow in South Florida.

To help combat this trend, foreclosure defense attorney Roy Oppenheim offers free legal workshops on the first Thursday of each month to present distressed homeowners the newest strategies to keep them in their homes.

The video below is of Roy before last week’s June workshop.  He shared the topics of the workshop including the future of foreclosures and the upcoming Florida Supreme Court Task Force on Home Foreclosures.

“The courts are realizing now that there are, in fact, legitimate arguments and defenses that we have been asserting against foreclosure,” Roy said.  “These issues are beginning to gain traction in the courts.”

Roy also discussed the issue of deficiency judgments and the strategies he is using to protect homeowners. Check out the foreclosure interview from Roy Oppenheim and subscribe to his YouTube channel for more updates: http://www.youtube.com/user/OppenheimRoy
