“The only constant is change.”

It’s worth repeating again today.

So I woke up to an article about 19 properties moving through the bankruptcy courts all across the Eastern Shore.

In other words, there is a really good chance some, and likely all of the properties are about to take on new ownership.

Owners on either side of the properties are likely concerned, or maybe even interested in buying these properties.

But how many people know how to buy a property tied up in the courts going through bankruptcy?

Maybe it’s possible to buy them before an auction takes place?

Any of you who have attended an auction know that many times you show up and at the last minute a property is pulled from the auction process for any one of a thousand reasons.

Bankruptcy auctions are a little different. Most of these are probably going to the auction market and will be sold.

Don’t worry – we aren’t going to go into details about bankruptcy today.

My point is this – THERE IS OPPORTUNITY OUT THERE!

Sure – maybe we find something in an article, or on the interwebs that is interesting – like this bankruptcy notice.

Knowing about this is one thing. Knowing what to do next is more important.

Just like the times we are living in today.

As I sit here the headline are screaming about the coming recession. Gas pumps are being re-programmed to sell $10 a gallon gas. The Dow Jones Index is down by historic margins yesterday.

Great.

It’s just like the 19 property bankruptcy notice. A lot of people know about it – but what do we do?

Do we stick our head in the sand and hope we survive or do we get up and go find opportunity?

Join us Monday night at WREIA and discover some of the skills I have learned over the last few decades living and working as a real estate investor here in the DC area.

Every once in a while it’s important to step back and re-examine what is going on here in our backyard as well as what is happening across the country, or even around the globe.

It’s a skill you can develop over time. More importantly when you learn to execute with confidence you will sleep much better at night because you know you made the right decision.

Join us Monday night for our May WREIA meeting.

The topic for WREIA this month is:

“How To Invest In Changing Markets”

Bring some questions Monday night.

We have a great group of investors who tune in to watch, interact and help other local DC area investors each month.

Come join us!

My sole focus for the May 2022 WREIA meeting is:

Helping you develop the skills to identify the opportunity in changing markets – and execute on them.
