17,400 Bankruptcies in Maryland in 2017

Over 17,000. That’s a big number.

But, there is one more item that actually got my attention.

It was the fact that this number was an INCREASE (+2.02%) over the previous year.

In fact, this was the first increase since 2010. Most of us remember that tough period from 2008-2010. People refer to it as the Great Recession.

This increase is a reversal of a trend. Small reversal, yes. But it is something to keep an eye on – and if the trend continues, or even gets larger, there could be an opportunity for those of us looking in this little nook of our business.

My point is this – as a well rounded real estate entrepreneur – are you looking for properties in the Bankruptcy Courts?

This is another skill set that you can take with you anywhere across the country. In fact, if you are looking for property outside of the DC area this process might be perfect for you.

I’ve had a lot of discussions with people over the last couple of years. Most people are getting frustrated that they can’t find property.
