Apple's NET profit was north of a billion dollars a WEEK last quarter.

You can have 200 Billion AUM and have a return of -50%.

LOL I read the title 457B thinking it was a 457 Billion Dollar cash out and went "what is this guy dealing in anyway".Was going to PM you and see if I can get in on the deal before I read your post lol :)

The $26 billion settlement between 5 major banks and state attorneys general over past foreclosure practices.This agreement further clarifies how foreclosures must be handled, which is supposed to speed up foreclosure processing and put many delinquent homeowners into the foreclosure process.

There is a flip side to seller financing restrictions and that is the possibility of more influence and funding by institutional/corporate broker/lenders in a billion dollar industry.Most of our financial laws appear to be a stab at consumer protection but they are often designed to limit the entry to the financial services industry by small operators, originators and brokers Pulling in the reighns has been a knee jerk reaction to fraudulent and deceptive practices by many small real estate operators and investors.

I just finished writing a chapter about them for my upcoming book, so I'm particularly excited about them right now (don't worry, I won't link to the amazon page or name drop the title here).As of 2005, more than $200 billion of real assets changed hands through the 1031 exchange, and millions of investors have benefited.

More details: This was a less-then-desireable area which is coming back, but wont be back for another 2-3 years when ($1 billion public works in progress, Whole Foods announced quarter mile away, etc).

A move that, some say, led to other lenders lowering their standards to compete.A little-known fact is that the original whistleblower at Countrywide Financial, the man whose suit sparked an investigation that culminated in a one billion dollar settlement between BOA and the Department of Justice, is a real estate appraiser named Kyle Lagow.

They've raised over $13 billion (yes, that's a B) in private equity and they're problem is deploying it fast enough.
