With Help From Mortgage Funds The Real Estate Market Shows Signs of a Recovery

Investor confidence in the financial system has also been so badly shaken that many remain very cautious, with high levels of cash kept on the books by most fund managers as they ensure they are not caught out by a sharp downturn in sentiment.

Santa Rosa, CA, October 08, 2010 — Even big money hedge fund and Mortgage fund investors hate to lose money and many are seeking a more conservative way to make high returns on their capital in a sour economy.

Mortgage fund managers are increasingly embracing private commercial mortgage lending as a way to enhance yield and decrease the overall risk of a portfolio. The credit crisis has greatly reduced the availability of commercial mortgage capital and, at-the-same-time, made it harder for borrowers and buildings to qualify for financing. The result is a glut of good deals that should be funded but can’t be funded.

Some hedge funds and Mortgage funds are stepping in and helping fill this “funding gap”. This unprecedented move by private investment funds into commercial real estate finance was prompted by the demands of unhappy investors. When wealthy business people put several hundred thousand in a fund and pay a hefty management fee, they have the right to expect results. After being promised double digit yields, many investors lost large amounts of money and actually had trouble accessing the money they had invested.

Faced with disgruntled and disenchanted clients, Mortgage fund managers were desperate for a high return investment that offered at least some measure of real security. For many, private commercial mortgage loans have proved to be the answer. Unlike residential lending, commercial mortgage banking is largely unregulated and posed no barrier to entry for private investment funds. The credit crunch was (and is) keeping real estate investors, large and small, from obtaining the capital they needed to refinance their buildings or buy any new ones. Thousands of excellent deals with very reasonable risk parameters were (and are) going unfunded and the lack of institutional credit drove private lending rates high enough to pique the interest of even the most sophisticated and return hungry fund managers.With rates ranging between 10% and 15% interest only payments it leaves building owners a quality source to take their loans for funding.However some of these Private Money and Hard Money companies are recommended more then others.There are some in the Hard Money industry that charge a $25,000 to $ 50,000 retainer fee for their services whether or not they perform.So it is always wise to check the track record of the company you are using.One company that we can recommend for loans in the state of California is http://www.Ourfundsonline.com they have a sucessful track record of closing loans in both northern and southern California see below for the loan types and properties they are financing.

IdealSeat.com Offers Online Invitations that Let Guests Choose Where They Sit

Guest Management Services LLC is excited to introduce a new concept in online invitations: IdealSeat.com.

Chicago, IL, October 08, 2010 — Guest Management Services LLC is excited to introduce a new concept in online invitations: www.IdealSeat.com. The new Website represents a high-tech solution that simplifies the tedious invitation process for event organizers.

“We offer electronic invitations free of charge with the added functionality that the host of the event can create an interactive seating chart using our intuitive tools,” said co-founder Santiago Vazquez. “The host can then assign seats himself, or send the invitations and let the guests pick their own seats-just like when you buy an airline ticket online.”

IdealSeat is an innovative Website that can save time and effort for organizers of events of all types and sizes. Event hosts can use the site for a variety of tasks, including generating online invitations, create interactive seating charts, collecting payments (when required), managing guest lists and controlling the RSVP process. “Organizers of events can leave the burden of seating assignments to the guests,” Vazquez said. “Not only does this benefit the host, it benefits the guests as well. They can choose their ideal seat.”

The Website allows organizers to select from two event packages: Basic and Premium. The Basic package, which is free, allows users to send online invitations with interactive seating charts for up to 50 guests. The Premium package-available for just $9.95-is designed for organizers with more than 50 guests or who are planning a paid event.

Setting up an event at www.IdealSeat.com is easy. Users simply select a category and an invitation design and then enter their event details. They can add a custom URL, images and create their event layout based on the room size and furniture placement. The organizer can then define different sections such as “Family,” “Friends,” “Co-workers,” etc. If the event requires payment, the sections can be price points throughout the venue’s different seating options. If a guest is assigned to a specific section, he or she will only be allowed to select a seat with in that section.

The Website also features a “Poll Guest” option that allows hosts to create both private and public questions. Private questions help the organizer to better plan the event and can range from drink preferences and food allergies to favorite music and expected arrival time. Answers to public questions are viewable by all guests and are meant to stimulate interaction and facilitate seat selection. Public questions can range from sex and age to marital status and relationship to the organizer.

IdealSeat also offers custom developed solutions to give venues a cost-effective way to sell seats online. The Website’s account representatives and world-class programming team work closely with companies to provide hosting, site management, support and continuous enhancements to ensure their venue is optimizing ticketing revenue. With this solution, IdealSeat handles the ticketing, collection and seat assignment process, leaving users more time to focus on managing and growing their business. “We are the next generation of Evite and a do-it-yourself Ticketmaster all in one place,” Vazquez said.

Co-founded by Vazquez and Raul Quino, IdealSeat is supported by a solid management and advisory team with a strong background in startup ventures, event planning, international business, marketing and product development. IdealSeat is a product driven by the need for a better seating assignment system. In the past, creating seating assignments has been a cumbersome task for organizers of weddings, charity fundraisers and other events. In addition, event attendees can be quite finicky about seating arrangements. IdealSeat offers a simple online invitation and seating solution that is both affordable and hassle-free. “There is nothing like it out there,” Vazquez said.

Baby with Limb Deficiency Inspires Unique Book That Offers Hope to Families

Imagine…Amazing Me, a book featuring simple, yet inspiring photos of children engaged in a variety of activities despite having limb and extremity differences.

Valley View, OH, October 08, 2010 — Amazed by the capabilities of her physically disabled daughter, author Libbi Chilia created Imagine…Amazing Me, a book featuring simple, yet inspiring photos of children engaged in a variety of activities despite having limb and extremity differences. This book disbands any misconceptions about people with disabilities. “I feel my book reaches out to all people and teaches about physical diversities,” Chilia said.

Her daughter, Sami, now 6 years old, was born with proximal femoral focal deficiency, a rare, non-hereditary birth defect that affects the pelvis, particularly the hip bone and the proximal femur. Chilia said she looked for books featuring children with similar disabilities to read to her little girl. When she found absolutely nothing on store or library book shelves, she decided to create one herself and began gathering photos of children from across the United States and Canada through online support groups she joined after her daughter was born.

Meanwhile, Sami was starting to walk and get into everything and Chilia was inspired by what the toddler was able to do. The loving mom said she wanted Sami to see children like herself and for other people to see just how amazing children with limb differences are. “I thought to myself, this can be very powerful. So I prayed about it and I wrote it. Well, actually, God wrote it. It was not my plan to be an author. I was going to be a little teacher….. a little mom.”

Since publishing her book, the middle school special education teacher has received emotional responses from both parents and children inspired by her book. Recently, she received a letter from a mom who came across the book while still pregnant. Devastated by the news her baby was to be born with a limb difference, the expectant mother said Chilia’s book gave her light in one of her darkest hours and provided her with hope and inspiration.

“It is these letters that show me how much this book was needed,” Chilia said. “I even received a letter from a mom who visited one of the websites listed in my book which led to her daughter being diagnosed. These letters come from people who, while I don’t know how they were led to my book, I am so thankful that they were because they show me the reason I wrote the book continues to be carried on. It is truly a blessing.”

Chilia grew up in Parma Heights, Ohio where she now lives with her husband of 17 years, Tony, and three children, Nick, 11, Nate, 7, and Sami. She previously taught seventh grade math and recently earned her masters degree at Cleveland State University. The author has made school appearances with her book and has been featured on television and in the local newspaper. Copies of Imagine…Amazing Me ( http://www.imagineamazingme.com ) were purchased by the Cleveland Clinic, Mary Freebed Center for Limb Differences in Grand Rapids, Mich., and Shriners Hospital in Erie, Pa. to give to families of children with limb differences. The Cuyahoga County Regional Library system also purchased copies to feature at various branches throughout the Greater Cleveland area.

With Bank Off America out of the Picture Hedge Funds and Mortgage Funds Become the Preferred Choice

In a somewhat surprising move, Bank of America is ceasing its wholesale lending business amid the ongoing turmoil in the mortgage industry.

Santa Rosa, CA, October 07, 2010 — Recent moves to stamp out wholesale lending have left very few big players in the space, with Chase and SunTrust believed to the be the most popular options left the wholesale market has now turned over to Hedge Funds and Mortgage Funds .In the state of California the obvious choice for a Private Money Loan is a company out of the San Francisco Bay Area – OurfundsOnline.com A private Money Mortgage Funding Unit http://www.OurfundsOnline.com

“We are now faced with the same kind of situation that we were with TARP, where the banks just sit on the money and they don’t get it in the hands of people that need it, then it’s going to be a colossal failure many banks surveyed said that their company is currently hearing from 20,000 people a month inquiring about financing, about a 25-percent increase from pre-recessionary levels.And only about 2% of those eventually are given a loan.”

Rohit Arora, who co-founded the New York-based website Biz2Credit ( http://www.biz2credit.com ) to help small businesses get financing, said credit is virtually frozen right now and the government’s main lending arm – the Small Business Administration – has virtually stopped since the end of May, when TARP-assisted programs elapsed.

“Most of the mainstream banks are not lending money to small businesses in spite of all the announcements they (government) keep making,” insisted Arora, adding 85 percent of small businesses are making getting a loan a priority right now before interest rates start climbing again. “Community banks and smaller banks have started coming back, but there’s a lot of pressure from regulators that if they’re lending money they need to be more conservative.”so they end up denying any loan with a credit score under 720 and at least 30% down payment.Those are the same numbers Hard Money lenders use to approve their loans.Many business owners have given up on the banks ,they figure why wait 45 days to be denied a loan when they can get a Hard Money loan in 7-10 days keep it for a year or two make the interest only payments and just hope that the lending guidelines change when they come around to refinancing their loans.

When your looking for your next loan we recommend trying Ourfundsonline.com ( http://www.ourfundsonline.com ) they do not underwrite loans for the secondary market.And most importantly they make the rules and use their experience to make loans happen.Simply put they are the bank/lender a vast group of investors who have been working with us for the past 20 years and trust us to evaluate the equity position we are taking on.We are a equity based lender ,we care not about credit scores, previous foreclosure and/or bankruptcy with us all borrowers are the same depending on down payment or the equity position ( http://www.ourfundsonline.com ) we hold as collateral.

MDCare EMR / PMS from Vision Infonet Inc RECEIVES ONC-ATCB 2011/2012 CERTIFICATION

Vision Infonet Inc announced today that MDCare EMR, Version 4.2 is 2011/2012 compliant and was certified as an EHR Module on 10/1/2010 in accordance with the applicable ELIGIBLE PROVIDER certification criteria adopted by the Secretary of HHS.

Napeville, IL, October 06, 2010 — Vision Infonet Inc announced today that MDCare EMR, Version 4.2 is 2011/2012 compliant and was certified as an EHR Module on 10/1/2010 by the Certification Commission for Health Information Technology (CCHIT®), an ONC-ATCB, in accordance with the applicable ELIGIBLE PROVIDER certification criteria adopted by the Secretary of Health and Human Services. The 2011/2012 criteria support the Stage 1 meaningful use measures required to qualify eligible providers and hospitals for funding under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).

“We believe this certification validates that MDCare EMR is the leading EHR software. The eligible providers by using MDCare EMR/PMS technology as part of their criteria to qualify for Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) incentive payments to receive $44,000 to $63,750 in federal stimulus dollars by becoming “meaningful users” of EHR Systems.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 is giving millions of dollars to practise under the HITECH Act that promotes the use and adaption of integrated Electronic Medical Record and Practice Management System.

Starting in 2011, eligible professionals can qualify for government stimulus funds by demonstrating “meaningful use” of certified EHR technology.”

The ONC-ATCB 2011/2012 certification program tests and certifies that Complete EHRs meet all of the 2011/2012 criteria and EHR Modules meet one or more – but not all – of the criteria approved by the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) for either eligible provider or hospital technology. Companies offering ONC-ATCB 2011/2012 certified EHR modules may return to test additional criteria and certify their products as Complete EHRs later. Companies certifying products early in the ONC-ATCB certification process must quickly adapt their products to meet the evolving nature of the NIST test procedures, particularly for electronic prescribing. ONC-ATCB product certification updates will be available at http://www.cchit.org as they occur.

“CCHIT is pleased to be testing and certifying products so that companies are now able to offer these products to providers who wish to purchase and implement certified EHR technology and achieve meaningful use in time for the 2011-2012 incentives,” said Karen M. Bell, M.D., M.S.S., Chair, CCHIT.

2011/2012 certification conferred by CCHIT does not represent an endorsement of the certified EHR technology by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services nor does it guarantee the receipt of incentive payments.

MDCare EMR/PMS solution is easily accessible from anytime and anywhere cloud application. MDCARE is a proven solution for front office, administrative, clinical, as well as revenue cycle management. “As a result of the investment made in creating an efficient and robust product, we can offer an integrated certified Electronic Health Record and Practice Management System that adapts to the provider’s practice with customization as our key feature.”

The Make-A-Wish Foundation of America, the largest wish-granting charity in the world that grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions, chooses a line of Virtosoftware’s products and services to enhance its SharePoint environment.

San Francisco, CA, October 06, 2010 — The Make-A-Wish Foundation of America, the largest wish-granting charity in the world that grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions, chooses a line of Virtosoftware‘s products and services to enhance its SharePoint environment.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation of America has selected a line of five products by Virtosoftware to allow its SharePoint environment to be more effective and powerful through adding a variety of new robust features and, at the same time, bringing a level of simplicity to management and development functions. Among the components chosen by The Foundation are Virto Password Change and Password Reset web parts, ( http://www.virtosoftware.com ) Virto Active Directory User Service, Ajax Calendar as well as Virto Ajax Data View. The line of Virtosoftware web parts and services helps the Foundation to achieve a new level of efficiency in very different sectors of its work ranging from user account management to web site development.

Virto Password Change and Virto Password Reset Web parts provide a self-service facility for more than 1,000 users of the Foundation working SharePoint-based environment to manage their enterprise credentials. These Web parts benefit the Foundation by reducing helpdesk requests and administrative overhead as well as helping the information technology staff support a robust password policy. Virto Active Directory User Service ( http://www.virtosoftware.com ) allows the users to manage their Active Directory contact information via a web interface, as well as providing a convenient tool for information technology helpdesk of the Foundation to manage Active Directory accounts.

Virto Ajax Calendar ( http://www.virtosoftware.com ) for Microsoft SharePoint provides a feature-rich interface for managing dates on the Foundation project sites. The users no longer need to use a SharePoint form to adjust project tasks: they can edit them directly on the calendar Web part. The dynamic and colorful interface makes it easier for them to identify and manage tasks. Virto Ajax Data View for Microsoft SharePoint allows developers of the Make-A-Wish Foundation to rapidly create feature-rich interfaces in SharePoint for managing data in SQL tables, without using the SharePoint Designer (SPD). The Web part reduces both development and deployment time by allowing developers to design interfaces for SQL tables and views directly in SharePoint.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy. Founded in 1980 when a group of caring volunteers helped a young boy fulfill his dream of becoming a police officer, the Foundation is now the largest wish-granting charity in the world, with 65 chapters in the United States and its territories. With the help of generous donors and nearly 25,000 volunteers, the Make-A-Wish Foundation grants a wish every 40 minutes and has granted more than 188,000 wishes in the United States since its inception.
