Do you sell stuff to loan originators? Are you a mortgage blogger? Do you have something to say? Would you like to promote a product, cause , or event that concerns our industry? For FREE? OK, let’s do it.
Here’s a quick rundown of ways to market through lenderama.
1. Ghost Reviews - If you a have a mortgage industry specific product that you want to promote, lenderama will let you reveiw your own product. Yes, you read that correctly. Write a review as if you were me, a super smart mortgage blogging genius. Here are some examples. Then email it to me at todd@mariah.com. I do not need to be sold on your product to publish it, but I do need to be sold on the quality of your review. If it’s just a commercial, I’m going to pass (however, nobody has failed to date, so it can’t be that hard). For you readers, ghost reviews are always disclosed. I’m not trying to fool anyone. This is just my way of exposing other brokers to products that I simnply dont have the time to review myself. One note. If you are a leads generation company, sorry, I won’t post it. I consider you to be more of a competitor to all hard working LO’s, not a partner.
2. One time guest posts. Most mortgage bloggers focus their site on the general public. Here’s you chance to communicate with your peers. Again, I reserve the right to pass on an article, but I never have before. Email me the article, or pop me a question ahead of time if you want to verify that the subject will fit
3. Audition to become a regular contributor. Same as option two, but I might ask for reader feedback if you want this consideration.
4. Comment on existing blog posts. lenderama enjoys a very strong page rank with Google. You can create your own links back to your site by leaving good, well thought out comments, that add to the conversation. FYI, “Great Post!” , “see my site”, or anything to that effect is not really adding to the topic and hand. I usually delete posts like that, especially if your not a regular commenter. When you leave a comment, just place your website’s url in the “website” box. This will automatically link your name to your website. You leave good comments, I return the favor with link love. A great deal for everyone.

Hello Todd,
I really like what you have created here and I would like some advice. Having worked several years helping homeowners avoid foreclosure via loss mitigation support, my partner and i wrote a book called The Mortgage Survival Guide. We help families that are late with their mortgage payments determine their best option. We have a proprietary software that accompanies the book and we often provide the entire program free of charge at 5000 Families. Our program is unbiased on whether a family should stay or sell; it’s ultimately their choice. However when it makes sense, we recommend refinancing. Can you please comment on how I can best reach mortgage professionals by providing them a tool to work with some of these desperate families? Your opinion is greatly valued!

re: Foreclosure Fraud, Wall Street, FREDDIE MAC, Judicial Corruption
Any representation to Wall Street Investors by FREDDIE MAC that FREDDIE’S reported $$$ billion dollar losses are due to people defaulting on their mortgages must be weighed against the fact that (in states such as Louisiana), Freddie Mac is paying DEBT COLLECTION firms needless, outrageous litigation costs for corporate lawyers to outmaneuver –and even persecute people who file court proceedings in opposition to fraudulent foreclosures. In Louisiana, long before Hurricane Katrina, the entrenched real estate and mortgage fraud racketeering scheme has been in operation. But thanks to federal authorities such as U.S. Attorney Jim Letten and U.S. Attorney David Dugas, real estate racketeers in Louisiana have nothing to worry about. Verification of what I have written is posted on my http://www.lawgrace.org website.

===================================================================
*Also, posted on NEWSBLAZE.COM, see this article: “Mortgage Mess, Foreclosure Fraud and Impediments to Justice:”
Most critical to the Foreclosure Crisis is FORECLOSURE FRAUD, which enables MORTGAGE LENDERS to ILLEGALLY FLIP properties. In Louisiana, 2 particular mortgage companies which benefit from fraudulent foreclosures are Wells Fargo and FREDDIE MAC! It is HIGHLY COMMON for a DEBT COLLECTOR attorney to file a foreclosure: (i) in the name of a DEFUNCT mortgage company;(ii) in the name of a mortgage company which is NO LONGER holder of the security interest (the promissory note); or (iii) file a foreclosure and AFFIX a “ransom” amount (the collector’s fee) far exceeding what the promissory note “Acceleration Clause” authorizes.
Despite a property owner’s entitlement to Challenge CONTRARY-TO-LAW loss of his / her home, most property owners LACK consumer and legal knowledge; the Court System is REFRACTORY; and there are limited attorneys with acumen to pursue Consumer Law. Also, when borrowers sue for “Unfair Debt Collection Practices,” damages, the collector gets to make more $$ through prolonged litigation, as co-conspirators enjoy the foreclosure pie.
Investors need to become more astute about how mortgage servicers’ misdeeds hurts borrowers as well as siphons incalculable amounts of money from what Investors should reap.

Thanks for the opportunity to post here. I have a business I need to promote and dont really know anything about blogging. Do you have any suggestions on how I need to do this? I work for Texas Credit Restoration Alliance. What we do is help people get nagative credit deleted form their bureaus in 30 - 90 days. Things like foreclosures, bankruptcies, credit card debt etc. On average we can raise their credit scores 127 points on all 3 bureaus in 30- 90 days. We are registered with the better business bureau and havent had any complaints in the last 3 yrs. You can visit our website and take a look at our product. Any feed back is greatly appreciated. Please e-mail me with any suggestions.

I have a new movie up (first one on the list), designed to drive purchase-money deals in the worst of markets (or a good market).
I’d love feedback. Be as nice or mean as you like, provided it’s about the first movie on the page (Success Secrets - the movie is about real estate investing).
Bad markets = happy investors. There’s a ton of foreclosures out there, and when people buy them, they get a loan to do it. Are you getting your share?
Thanks!

I have read and seen the stories about post-homeowners destroying homes before leaving due to a foreclosure. (Article in WSJ and a segment on CNN)
My wife posed a good question, why aren’t these people charged for destroying property ?? Isn’t this the same as vandalizing another persons home ?? , in this case, the bank.
Per my conversation with Wade Young, there isn’t proof that these individuals did the damage otherwise pure common sense. Shouldn’t these previous owners be liable for the damages.
