I was searching homes in and around my area when a friend of mine informed me about Bank Owned homes a.k.a. REO properties, or Real Estate Owned properties. Either way you look at it the homes were an unsuccessful sale at a foreclosure auction. Which means that they are the perfect deal when it comes to buying a home.. minus the fact that most of them are buy as-is homes. So with that in mind I started searching for REO banks and I came across a bunch of banks that have their own Real Estate Owned (REO) property databases. I’ve listed the ones that I know of and could find.. If you know of any others please feel free to leave them with a comment.

I was searching for ways online to “make money quick online” and that was when I came across Lending Club I thought hmmm… this is a perfect way to lend money / invest my money with prime borrowers. and by doing so I can earn from 6.69% to 19.37% on what I lend to people. It’s almost as if I’m a person to person lending bank that people can come to online and i’d be able to lend them money and make a decent profit. This is a great opportunity for any one who is trying to get their stocks out of the market but yet want to still make some profit.

Ehh if you aren’t into making money online and you just want to borrow money from multiple people then Lending Club is the perfect opportunity for that as well. As a borrower with Lending Club you have the ability to borrow up to $25,000 with rates as low as 7.88%

The video doesn’t show too much (i guess that’s why it’s a teaser)… But if you recall a bit back I posted about how you can suggest perks, maps and more to the game developers of the Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 game (Infinity Ward). Just check out this post to see what i’m talking about. You can also leave a perk, map or any other suggestion over on this post as well.
