Real Estate Investors are in for a tougher time in 2011 unless they adapt their current methods of investing. I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news today but there’s some data I have in my hands that I must reveal to you.

Short Sale flips are tougher to do than ever. There simply aren’t enough people who can get bank loans to “cash you out” once you get your short sale approval from the bank. Plus title companies are very strict on disclosing back to back flips to both the “A” and “C” lenders. Anyone who’s an active short sale flipper knows this is getting tougher to do.

Rehab flips are tougher to do than ever. Title problems and “robo-signing” scandals have tainted the title to many properties and caused uncertainty about the quality of title when buying an REO. On top of that buyers must have a 700+ credit score on average to qualify for a FHA loan plus a down payment. This means there are less buyer’s to “cash you out” using FHA loans.

Most leads that you will generate into your real estate business will be houses with little or no equity. So if you are an “equity” wholesaler you will have trouble getting “equity” leads in 2011. My prediction is that this is just 5% of the deals I’ll do in 2011.80 -100 million people – roughly 30% of our entire population cannot qualify for a traditional bank loan. Cool thing is there’s a “golden opportunity” that’s been created because of tighter bank lending standards.Credit is expected to tighten in 2011, not loosen, according to Inside Mortgage Finance magazine.

Look at these statitics 10.7 million home owners have no equity according to CoreLogic. Another 4.3 million have very little equity. They are 87% – 100% leveraged. The FHA short refi program has helped just 3 people in 4 months. Just ask the FHA. *52% of all HAMP loan modifications “fall out” within 6 months. Just ask Obama. He knows.

So where are the real estate investment opportunities in 2011? What can you do about this and still be a successful investor in 2011? The answer: Go where the money is and diversify into strategies that do not require banks at all.

There are four simple, fast, safe and easy ways for you to make money that don’t require any banks whatsoever that you can profit from any type of property. Houses with equity, houses with no equity and no default (which are most common) and over-leveraged houses in foreclosure (short sales).The investment strategies are proven and have been used by astute investors since 2004. Just now in late 2010 and 2011 they really going to “blast off” because of the current state of the financial markets.

These four techniques will enable investors to continue to profit for many years to come. Some investors are finding that they can get cash now, cash flow each month, and then cash out down the road without ever owning the home. These types of leads are everywhere and require little to no marketing costs on your part to obtain. This is the easiest, fastest way to make money in real estate with no money, bad credit, and no loans for you or your buyers. So position yourself and your business for massive success in 2011 without any banks, FHA loans, private money or government programs using new “Cash Infusion” strategies.

I personally think the jokers at Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and FHA are not all bad guys. They just are in over their heads. A recent Fannie Mae study showed 54% of the people surveyed want to buy a home in 2011. They realize there are lower prices than ever out there. Problem is with the current Fannie and Freddie and FHA guidelines they simply won’t qualify. So how are you going to use this to your advantage?

The booming real estate market has caught the fancy of foreign investors and they have raised their stake in a majority of realty firms listed on the bourses. However, some analysts believe these stocks are among the most expensive in the world.

An analysis of the holding pattern of foreign institutional investors (FIIs) in 22 major realty firms shows a majority of them raised stake in the April-June quarter compared with their stake in the previous three-month period.

FIIs increased their stake in 15 companies, including Unitech, Ansal Housing, DS Kulkarni and Indiabulls Real Estate. However, they decreased their holding in seven companies — DLF, Atlanta, Era Construction, Lok Housing, Mahindra Gesco, Madhucon Projects and Unity Infrastructure.

The real estate sector in India has witnessed a boom in recent times led by an increase in purchasing power of people, relaxed lending norms by banks and housing finance companies and the growth in retail and IT sectors.

The buying of shares by FIIs in these companies comes at a time when a few analysts believe the country’s realty stocks are among the costliest in the world.

Global investment services firm Standard & Poor’s has said real estate stocks in India are the most expensive and give lower returns than most emerging and developed markets such as China, Singapore, Hong Kong and Australia.

A comparison of price to earnings (P/E) ratio of stocks from various countries showed that valuation of property stocks from the US and the UK moved lower, while those from emerging markets such as India continued to grow.

The P/E ratio is considered a valuation benchmark of a stock, where a higher ratio indicates an expensive stock, while a lower P/E ratio signifies a cheaper stock.

FIIs consolidated their stake by an average of 1-2 per cent, except Indiabulls Real Estate, in which their holding jumped 6 per cent to 44.96 per cent as on June 30 from 37.34 per cent at the end of the previous quarter.

FII holdings in Ansal Housing increased by more than 2 per cent to 17.53 per cent, while in IVRCL Infrastructure their stake jumped by 3 per cent to 61 per cent.

Other realty companies such as Unitech, Simplex Infrastructures, Nagarjuna Construction, MSK Projects and GMR Infrastructure witnessed a marginal rise in FII holdings.

FIIs generally sold shares of that company, which is around its all-time high, while they purchased shares around their low levels, an analyst said.

The current analysis confirms the trend as the seven companies, where FIIs decreased their stake, were trading at higher levels than their March quarter price, except Mahindra Gesco, whose price decreased in the June quarter.

The Bombay Stock Exchange benchmark index Sensex has risen by 1,578.41 points and FIIs poured in over Rs 200 crore during the April-June quarter this year, according to the data available on the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) website.
