As Warren Buffet so delicately put, "Wide diversification is only required when investors do not understand what they are doing".

If we had the ability to take a time-machine back to 2004 through 2006, who'd have said that as of August 2008 a total of 274 lending institutions, would be out of business? Industry leaders such as Indy-Mac, Accredited Home Lenders and Wachovia wholesale division (among countless others), have shut their doors, refusing to finance mortgages with the whole real estate "bubble" bursting over and over again.

With top economists predicting the bottom is still a year to a year and a half away, novice investors are running for the hills, many times leaving their wife and children behind (metaphorically speaking), while the seasoned buyers are running for the homes.

In July 2008, a total of 39,507 new and resale houses and condos were sold statewide in California. That was up 12.2 percent from 35,202 in June and up 12.3 percent from 35,185 for July last year. The median price paid for a home last month was $318,000, down 3.0 percent from $328,000 for the month before, and down 33.5 percent from $478,000 for July a year ago. Half of the forecasted drop came from the depreciating marketplace, the other half due to shifts in the types of homes being sold as well as the availability of mortgages.

What does this tell you? While 1-800-CASH-TODAY™ Home Buyers would like to take credit for half of these sales, the truth is that of the homes sold in June, 44.8 percent were foreclosure re-sales, up from a revised 42.5 percent in June and 7.6 percent in July a year ago.

Warren Buffet may actually be right in what he said above!

Held within this charred and dilapidated land, where real estate profits for many appear unlikely, there is a tried and true real-estate investment company which consistently purchases real estate at tremendously low LTVs (loan to value) and has private investors more than pleased with the returns they are yielding. With their established abilities, 1-800-CASH-TODAY™ private investors are realizing 10-15 of value and less with an investment cycle of two to six months.

1-800-CASH-TODAY™ is a California based real-estate investment company that has been purchasing homes throughout Southern California the last two down cycles. Being that they haven't diversified into other facets of investing, they have become the pros in not only purchasing real estate "right" but doing so in both an up and down markets. It takes great skill and proficiency to purchase a combined 300 plus (through held entities) properties per year.

Thanks to their growing base of investment capital, 1-800-CASH-TODAY™ is lodged within the real-estate owned (REO or bank owned) market, is the expert on short sales acquisitions (creating massive profits on over-leveraged properties) and has a base of real-estate agents who feed them properties the banks no longer want to hold within their portfolios.

So what could this mean for hopeful private investors?

First, depending on the structure of the deal, a minimum of 10 return on investment (ROI), the private financier is guaranteed security by the following criteria being met:

1. Funds are held in escrow until a property (or group of properties) fits

our investment criteria.

2. No property is bought that is over 65 return on investment per month, all secured

by a first Trust Deed against the property being acquired.

4. Multiple exit strategies (actually a total of six) are placed into the

evaluation process and returns are based off of short as well as long

term strategies.

Those who are successful understand that success doesn't come to you, you go to it. The 1-800-CASH-TODAY™ Home Buying Team has prepared for this down turn,and has patiently waited for this stage in the market, and is gearing up to take their education, experiences and home-buying skills to the streets.

To your success.
