National Foreclosure Institute

How the need was created
In the early and mid 2000s, this country saw a surge in the real estate market the likes of which hadn’t been seen for decades. Real estate has always been a good investment, but this run was nearly unprecedented.

But rather suddenly, the real estate market burst, and home sales nationwide dropped dramatically. In some places around the country, real estate values also dropped. In other areas, they simply flattened out. Foreclosures began to occur.

Scores of homeowners are behind on their payments. They’d gotten in at the top of the market with 100% financing, and now actually owed more on their house than it was worth. Other homeowners had been put into sub-prime loans because of their poor credit histories—and now the rates on those loans were adjusting. In either case, tighter lending standards and non-existent appreciation made it impossible for most people to refinance. Suddenly, it became clear that our country’s housing market was going to face a crisis unlike any we’d ever seen before.

Founding the National Foreclosure Institute
To meet this crisis head-on, we established The National Foreclosure Institute. Founded in 2006, the institute was begun in response to an acute marketplace need for qualified foreclosure professionals. This need is why the investors who have been through NFI’s training have found their services to be in such high demand and their profits to be so impressive.

Low inflation, adjusting interest rates, and the highest foreclosure ratio in history have converged to make this “the perfect storm” for those investing in real estate. The fact is, there has never been a better time to become an expert in—and profit from—foreclosure investing. There is a huge need for real estate investors equipped with the skills, knowledge, and tools NFI graduates possess after their training. Their services are greatly needed and appreciated by homeowners, lenders, other investors, new homebuyers, and anyone associated with mortgages in default.
