Divorce Creates an Interesting Situation for Investors

Posted by: reipro, in Divorce

Earlier, I was reading an article discussing divorce and the housing market; the article was from a newspaper in NH, and basically was delving into the fact that these days, the housing market is posing a number of challenges.

According to the article, the housing slump is creating a situation in which couples who would otherwise file for divorce are trapped under the burden of a home; with many situations leaving homeowners owing more on the property than its value, neither party wants to take on the responsibility of the house and, in many cases, neither partner can fully afford the home on their own.

This is why divorce is a topic of discussion for real estate investors: if more real estate investors were aware of these situations, they would be able to start negotiating with the bank and arranging for a short sale of the home. A real estate investor could step in and ensure that, while divorce is never pleasant, moving the home from the market and enabling the couple to pursue their divorce can help to end things smoothly.

By focusing at least some of your real estate investment marketing efforts on reaching out to those couples on the brink of divorce, you just might find that there are plenty of great opportunities just waiting to be discovered.
