Two bands march to state finals By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com
Hope for “A Break in the Clouds,” or enjoy a “Masquerade.” High school marching band season is in full swing. Two East Allen County Schools bands earned Gold ratings Oct. 11 in Indiana State School Music Association regionals at Homestead High School. Both now advance to the Scholastic Class finals Oct. 25 at Lawrence Central High School in Indianapolis. Robert Slattery directs the Woodlan band, whose 52 members presented “Masquerade.” Jim Widmer directs the Heritage band, whose approximately 30 members presented “A Break in the Clouds.” Both advanced to the state finals in Scholastic Class B. Todd Caffee directs the New Haven band, whose 29 members presented a show on “The Music of the Beatles.” New Haven competed in Scholastic Class A for larger bands, earning a Silver rating and concluding its competition season. Leo competes in the Open Class C division. Director Bob Myers will lead the 75-member band to present “Roar of the Lions” at ISSMA regionals Oct. 18 at Lafayette Jefferson High School. Qualifying bands advance to the semistate Nov. 1 at Decatur Central High School in Indianapolis, and to the state finals Nov. 8 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

from other area schools. Also performing at the Lafayette semistate will be 2013 Class C champion Concordia Lutheran High School, and 2011 Class A champion Homestead High School. Homestead’s 311-member Spartan Alliance band will present “Dance of the Wind Spirits.” Steve Barber directs. Concordia’s 70-member Marching Cadets will present “Walk by Faith, Not by Sight.” Dianne Moellering directs. Concordia’s show, arranged by Kent Klee, encompasses three numbers: “Earth and All Stars,” “Be Thou My Vision” and “Ascending.” Continuing its tradition, Concordia’s show follows a spiritual theme. “I think it’s a good scripture for us in this stressful world,” Moellering said. “Everybody says they believe in Christ, and this is a great reminder that we should trust in God. The main shape in the ballad is the cross, which is where our emphasis belongs.” “The kids this year are just nice young kids. They want to do well, work hard and take correction well, and it’s just a joy to work with them this year,” Moellering said. “And my band parents this year are just outstanding, working really hard to get our field props working.” The band tradition is rich throughout the area, according to Moellering, who said, “Fort Wayne has a lot of great, enthusiastic bands.”

Three organizations are pooling their energy for Hoagland Street Fest 2014. Catch the games and markets Saturday, Oct. 18, in and near downtown Hoagland. The festival grew from idea to firm plans in just a few weeks, according to publicist Sally Holle of the Hoagland Area Advancement Association. “The HAAA, the Chamber of Commerce and the Hoagland Youth League are going together for this event,” she said. “Thrivent [Financial Greater Hoagland Group] is offering to match the funds, and they wanted a street festival, so we’ve been working on it about three weeks now,” she said Sept. 24. “It’s going to be a really fun day. These three entities are working really hard to put on the street festival, and it seems like it’s being very well received,” she said. “We’re working on enough money for our parking lot because it’s falling apart,” Holle said. “The Chamber has been putting in sidewalks and trails. And the ball diamonds need improvements. So this is a really good chance for the three of us to come together and help promote Hoagland and hopefully raise enough money where we can have a nice slice of the pie.” Jon Niemeyer represents the HAAA and the
Chamber. Roy Sorg represents the youth league. Sorg said a free-throw contest will be open to different age groups, from youth through adult, with a winner every hour. Bounce houses will be set up for children to use free of charge. Chalk will be available for sidewalk art on First Street. “The adults are going to have a bicycle poker run around town on bicycles,” he said. “Or they can use golf carts, or they can walk it.” “For the kids,” Sorg said, “we’re going to have a bingo run, and they will get bingo numbers at each stop. I don’t know if that’s been tried anywhere before; we’re going to pilot the program.” For details, visit hoaglandin.com. Sponsorship opportunities are available. A farmers’ market and a flea market will operate from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Other activities will include live music, pumpkin painting, face painting, and a live duck race. A 2014 Yard sport utility vehicle will be raffled. The Hoagland Street Fest 5K Race/Fun Walk steps off at 10:30 a.m., at a location to be announced. Race-day registration is from 8-10 a.m. Early registration ended Oct. 11. The fee is $20, which includes a T-shirt. Late registration, after Oct. 11, is $25, and does not include a T-shirt. Find a registration form and mailing address online at hoaglandin.com.
Monroeville memories flow at Pour House auction As spectators shared memories of Monroeville, Don Gerardot focused on the town’s future. Gerardot, on behalf of the town, bought the Pour House restaurant and bar at auction. The $60,000 price includes attached buildings that date to 1900 and 1905. Combined, the buildings dominate one of the two downtown blocks. It was an investment in
Monroeville itself, said the town council president. “It’s really hard to get the properties cosmetically appealing to the eye, and that’s what we’re working on right now,” he said. “We’ve purchased another three-story building, which we’re getting ready to tear down.” “I don’t know exactly what will happen with this building, for sure,” he said. “I had some other people actually interested. But we want to be sure
that the building’s fixed up to where it looks nice. When you come into town you look at it and you say ‘That’s a place I’d like to be.’ “ Visitors entering the downtown from the north see the Pour House on their left. Visitors arriving from the west see the Pour House off to their left, and the shuttered flower shop on their right. That empty building is coming down. The building that housed the flower shop
might have a future “if it was all fixed up,” Gerardot said. “But, fiscally, you couldn’t spend that much to fix it up to where it needs to be.” The restaurant
continued serving and the bar continued pouring last week, as the post-auction paperwork began. On auction night, though, the Pour House was filled with patrons
who hoped that the restaurant and bar continue. Claudia O’Shaughnessey and Rosemary Richard and their See POUR, Page A5

Enjoy treats, music, more By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com
Diane Scranton knows how to prepare for a cold Halloween night, and hundreds of zombies, ghosts and monsters. “One of my employees gets the hot dog costume on, with her hot dog hat, and she stands out there and passes out treats,â€? Scranton said. Scranton has kept the grill at Jeff’s Coney busy through nine Georgetown Halloweens. Scranton will join her business neighbors once again Friday evening, Oct. 31, to welcome an estimated 1,800 children to Georgetown Square. “The New Haven Alumni Band plays right in the breezeway between us and Zife’s [Rib Bar], so we get a lot of people in here,â€? Scranton said. “And
we sell a lot. I just put more dogs on the grill. I just know I have to be prepared for it.� “It’s the longest running trick-or-treat event like this in the country, going on for more than 40 years now,� said Maureen Partee, the Georgetown marketing specialist. She said her father, the late Tom Jehl, started Georgetown Halloween in 1972. A costume contest is open to all ages. “We have prizes for different age groups and categories — homemade costume or scariest or cutest,� Partee said. “It’s infant to adult. We have a lot of adults dress up, too. The band is part of the tradition, returning year after year. “It’s cute, because they dress up and play Sousa style music,� Partee said.
Carol Whitner directs the band, which — despite its name — is no longer either exclusively or predominantly alumni of New Haven High School. Today, it’s just a group of about 25 people who enjoy playing music. Expect to hear “The Mickey Mouse March� or “It’s a Small World� or Looney Tunes themes. “We play things like that, that the kids would know,� Whitner said. At any other concert, except the Christmas concert, the selections would be more traditional band and patriotic music. “We’re playing for the kids at this particular time,� Whitner said. Georgetown Halloween trick-or-treat hours are 5:30-8 p.m. Partee said the stores will hand out candy, plus maybe coupons or other treats.

Cedarville Elementary on National Blue Ribbon list Cedarville Elementary School has been recognized as a National Blue Ribbon School. Selection is based on academic excellence and progress in improving academic achievement. Nine Indiana schools made the list of 337 schools earning the honor nationwide. Cedarville Elementary is the only Allen County school on the list. The 287 public and 50 private schools will be recognized Nov. 10-11 in Washington, D.C. “I’m so elated and proud to be the leader of such a great school and I really appreciate all the hard work and dedication from our teachers and staff,� Cedarville Principal Brad Bakle said. “This is awesome! It’s such a great honor to be named a National Blue
Ribbon School and I’m extremely proud of our students and staff at Cedarville Elementary,â€? said Ken Folks, the East Allen County Schools superintendent. U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan announced this year’s winners. In its 32-year history, the National Blue Ribbon Schools Program has bestowed this coveted award on nearly 7,900 of America’s schools. “These great schools are fulďŹ lling the promise of American education — that all students, no matter their name or Zip code, can ourish when schools provide safe, creative, and challenging learning environments,â€? Duncan said. U.S. Sen. Joe Donnelly applauded the honored schools.

POUR from Page A1
PHOTO BY GARTH SNOW
Sherry Klotz tends the noontime bar at the Pour House. She said out-of-towners stop by for lunch and to say hello to the owners.
The Pour House ďŹ lls two century-old buildings on Main Street north of Monroeville’s main downtown intersection, at South Street.
husbands bought the business in 1980. Daniel J. O’Shaughnessey died in 2013, at age 77. Neal “Pee Weeâ€? Richard died in 1994, at age 65. “I’m 78 and Rosie’s 83,â€? O’Shaughnessey said. “We need to get out of here. We’re old ladies, very old ladies. And I think we’re the only old ladies still in the bar business.â€? “But they don’t act like it,â€? said bar patron Luther Mock, facing the mirror in the 18-ft. rosewood back bar. “We’re young old ladies,â€? O’Shaughnessey said. Mock listened as O’Shaughnessey described the Pour House as a restaurant ďŹ rst and a bar second. She said the Greek salads and the chicken gizzards are the best around. “They have a good burger, too,â€? said Mock, his hands lifting an imaginary burger. “It’s handpatted burgers on the grill — crispy on the outside.â€? Asked whether a new owner would have to keep those burgers to keep his loyalty, he said, “I guess I hadn’t thought about it. I wouldn’t not come.â€? O’Shaughnessey said the restaurant’s future won’t be up to her and business partner of 34 years. “No one knows what’s going to happen,â€? she said. Even as bidders gathered on the north side of the building, business continued on the south side. Richard stayed in the kitchen. She had planned to take the night off. But a stafďŹ ng problem arose. She kept busy preparing her well-known chili. O’Shaughnessey, too, was chasing coffee and questions as the bar approached its capacity of 46. “I’m sorry it’s so busy,â€? she said. Mike Pruden ďŹ nished his dinner and waited for the auction. “I have drunk a lot of beer in this place. Tonight it’s coffee,â€? said the Adams County resident and former Monroeville welder. A restaurant has been in that location for as long as he can remember.
“It was the Cove and the Muskrat Slide. That’s two of the names. And then this,� he said. “It’s just comfortable,� he said. “You know what the food it. You don’t have to look at the menu. Almost all of these people I know. I don’t remember their names right off. And the food’s good. It hasn’t killed me.� He praised the Thursday spaghetti special, and fondly recalled the Tuesday chicken special. The town does have another dining option, he said. “But it’s kind of stuffy.� Nita Bergman said she was born the same year the Pour House opened. “I was coming in when I was 16, into the family room, the game room,� she said. “I would hang out with my friends. And all of us teenagers would come in and have french fries and play pool and video games. And I would watch the old ladies playing euchre in the back room.� The euchre is gone today. The game room is gone. “They had to choose between smoking and family,� Bergman said. Pruden was prepared to say goodbye to the Pour House. He spoke of it in the past tense. “This was an Irish type place, and they have the best corned beef and cabbage on Saint Patrick’s Day, and I’ll miss that more than anything,� he said. He predicted that bidders would come forward, but questioned whether the offers would match the minimum sale price. “I doubt anyone will buy it,� he said. Sherry Klotz knows the owners from another perspective. They have been her employers for six years. “They’re very nice to work for,� she said. “They play a big role in running this bar. They’re here every single day, both of them.� “Everybody who comes in here knows each other,� she said. “Or they’ve heard about the Pour House from someone who’s been here. Or they know Rosie or Claudia. We’ve got people who live down in Florida — every

time they come home they come in to see them.� The most popular beer brands have changed and changed again over three and a half decades. “We’ve switched around over the years,� O’Shaughnessey said. “We’ve got a lot of Pabst drinkers. It’s a small town. We don’t sell the highpriced beers.�
O’Shaughnessey said her friendship with Richard began before they bought the business and will continue after the formal sale. “We ran around for years,� she said. “Our kids grew up together. One of Rosie’s sons and my son Mike were born the same day. We call them our twins. We’ve been friends forever.� Jerry Ehle called the auction for Schrader Real Estate & Auction. He introduced “a once-in-alifetime opportunity.� The alcoholic beverage license is included, he said; the pool table and jukebox are not. The bidding stalled at $40,000. Ehle persevered, raising the bids in increments of $2,500. Potential business partners conferred. “Put your cartel together,� Ehle cautioned. “Luther and Barney’s. I’m just thinking of some names for this place here. 60, gotta beat 60.� But no one offered $62,250.
Good news for your neighborhood.

Nightmares await at Hysterium By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com
The Haunted Cave took a real cave-cleaning. Now it’s the Hysterium Haunted Asylum. Brett Molitor bought the attraction in southwest Fort Wayne just before the 2013 Halloween season. “We opened with the crew that was there,� he said. And he finished the season in keeping with The Haunted Cave’s 15-year run. “After the season was over we evaluated what we had, and the season, and we decided that we needed to let Cave fade away and rebrand it with the Haunted Hysterium,� he said. “It had started out totally a cave theme and over the years they put some different rooms in,� he said. “But we’ve gone through and changed every room but
one and one hall.� “Dumpster after dumpster went out the door, and we brought in some new stuff,� he said. The Hysterium Haunted Asylum is at 4410 Arden Drive, just off Engle Road. Hours are Thursdays and Sundays from 7-9:30 p.m., and Fridays and Saturdays from 7 p.m. till midnight. The season ends Nov. 1. General admission is $12. A VIP/Fast Pass is $20. Buy tickets at hysterium. com. “It looks like a doctor’s office or hospital waiting room and that’s where people start their adventure,� Molitor said. “The medical staff and patients are interacting with them in the lobby setting.� “There is some gore involved,� he said. “We recommend ages 10 and above. The actors are trained to scare, and they’re trained to follow the story line.� Molitor will reduce the fright factor for kids for one night only — from 5-7 p.m.

Art director Tom Scheer says the Hysterium Haunted Asylum has better lighting than its predecessor The Haunted Cave, so visitors can see the detail of his work.
Wednesday, Oct. 29. “We will have trunk or treat in the parking lot,â€? he said. “We will have a costume contest, and they can walk through the Hysterium with the lights on. We’ll let them do that.â€? And then the Hysterium opens to adults for the rest of the evening, from 7-9:30 p.m. Hysterium art director Tom Scheer worked down to the wire, replacing webbing and adding other special effects on the eve of the venue’s debut.

Cave, Scheer learned his craft working in the convention industry. In a quick tour through the winding halls, Scheer pointed out the many changes to the attraction. “It’s amazing what you can do with wood stain,â€? he said of the “bloodâ€? spatters across the walls and oors. “I’ve gotten away from the old-school haunted houses,â€? he said. “We’ve added detail and added light. We want to show off what we’ve done.â€? The moving room still moves, but Scheer said even familiar visitors should expect the unexpected. Tastes change, and so do attractions, owner Molitor said. And parts of the Hysterium will get yet another look next year. Molitor knows something about trends, and about Halloween. He has managed the Haunted Hotel in Huntington since 2003, and bought the business in 2006. The Huntington Jaycees started the Haunted Hotel in 1968. The attraction occupies the 13th oor of an old apartment building, he said. “It took on the Haunted Hotel name in 1999 because general haunted houses started changing to more elaborate story lines and themes,â€? he said.

Sitting before Allen County voters on Nov. 4 is a decision on whether to restructure their county government — a decision that is stirring debate among residents about what defines fair, efficient representation. The current structure of Allen County’s government — a county commission board with three members to govern — dates back to 1824. At this time, the county’s population was 996, according to a panel discussion at Park Learning Center in New Haven, hosted by the New Haven Chamber of Commerce. The panel debated the pros and cons of the proposed reorganization. The change would replace the three commissioners with a single county executive, and expand the county council from seven
members to nine. In emphasizing his belief that the current structure is outdated, Matt Bell, speaking on behalf of the Regional Chamber of Northeast Indiana, noted that 1824 is the year the first steam engine was introduced, Beethoven’s 9th Symphony premiered and the leading medical treatment of the day was blood letting. Since then, advances have been made in the medical and technology field, and Bell suggested during the panel discussion that the structure of Allen County’s government is impeding progress and is in serious need of improvement. “Will we fit in or will we stand out?” Bell said. “Do we have the courage to be great? Modernizing local government is an opportunity to say yes to economic development, it’s an opportunity to say yes to job growth. It’s an opportunity for Allen County to be a forward-looking community and not a back-

Hadley said the changes “would reduce representation for every single citizen of Allen County while consolidating power in the hands of a single county position.”

Sons of Legion donates to charity for veterans Sons of the American Legion Squadron 330 New Haven has designated Shepherd’s House as one of its veterans support charities. Squadron 330 Commander Paul Rush recently presented a check to Shepherd’s House co-founder Barb Cox to help with the agency’s programs. “We are thankful for Squadron 330’s financial support as Shepherd’s House relies on contributions from individuals and groups to support our programs,” Cox said. She said the contribution will be used toward construction of a handicapped accessible kitchen at Shepherd’s House. “Squadron 330 is honored to be able to support an impressive program like Shepherd’s House as it helps veterans with substance abuse problems remove their addiction and return
to active participation in the workplace and community,” Rush said. Shepherd’s House is a faith-based Christian not-for-profit agency offering a long term, residential/transitional housing center for veterans who are alcohol and chemically addicted. The Sons of the American Legion consists of male descendants of war veterans. The organization’s goals include fostering patriotism and offering support for veterans. In addition to Shepherd’s House, Squadron 330’s fund-raising is used to provide college scholarships for graduates of New Haven High School and to support the Wounded Warriors project. Squadron 330 is the SAL unit attached to American Legion Post 330 in New Haven.

The Stuff-A-Bus holiday food drive will be held Nov. 3, 4 and 5. “This is the 19th year for the Stuff-A-Bus campaign,� said Chris Diddier, program manager at WLDE radio, which sponsors the campaign. The public donates nonperishable food items for the Associated Churches of Fort Wayne and Allen County food banks, and medicine cabinet items for the Fran-
ciscan Center. The drive averages about 9,000 to 10,000 pounds of donations each year. “We’re working around people’s schedules. With the holiday rush, we’re going to see if we can catch people at a time when they can donate,â€? Diddier said of the earlier campaign dates. Once again, drop-off points will be set up at three shopping areas. The agship
operation will be at Georgetown Square on East State Boulevard. Buses also will be set up at Connolly’s Do It Best Hardware at 515 E. Dupont Road at Coldwater Road, and at Midwest American Federal Credit Union at 6005 Bluffton Road in Waynedale. Drop-off hours will be 5:30 a.m.-7 p.m. People may drop off food after those hours, too, in barrels set up beside the buses.

Congregation Achduth Vesholom’s 13th annual Corned Beef on Rye — Sure to Satisfy fundraiser also offers the public a chance to visit the campus at 5200 Old Mill Road. Dine-in hours are 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 30, at the Rifkin Campus at 5200. Pickup and delivery are available. “Just sit down and chit chat and have a nice lunch,� said Bonnie Pomerantz. The project is the temple’s largest annual fundraiser. “It takes about a hundred people to pull this off — all volunteers,� Pomerantz said. Proceeds go into the general operating budget for everyday expenses, including many programs open to the general public. “It gives us an opportunity to share what we could call a taste of Judaism, to share it with the community,� said fundraiser co-chairman Kris Gray. “It also invites the community to come to our facilities.� Gray said the Rifkin Campus at 5200 is designed to consolidate different Jewish entities, including expansion to accommodate the Fort Wayne Jewish Federation. That organization’s move to the campus
became ofďŹ cial on June 1. He said the fundraiser is consistent with an ongoing effort to identify with the 46807 neighborhood where the temple is located and with the broader Fort Wayne community. “Hey, come on down and share some corned beef, in a cafe style,â€? he said. Find fax-able order forms through the Corned Beef Fundraiser link at templecav.org. The boxed meals include an overstuffed one-third-pound corned beef deli sandwich, coleslaw, dill pickle and brownie and drink. Meals are $14 if ordered by Thursday, Oct. 23. Meals are $15 after that date and at the door. Orders of 12 or more sandwiches can be delivered for a charge of $6 per address. Delivery orders must be placed by Oct. 23. Also this year, the public may order corned beef at $12 a pound, or extra rye bread, pickles or brownies. The temple traces its roots to 1848 as Indiana’s ďŹ rst Jewish congregation. Learn more about the congregation’s history and programs, its fundraising campaign, and the Jewish Federation of Fort Wayne by visiting templecav.org.

(ALLEN COUNTY) The nationwide credit
crisis may have turned “the American dream” into an extended nightmare for many Indiana home buyers and sellers. Banks and mortgage lenders (who are not going out of business) have tightened up their lending requirements to the point where many home buyers today can no longer qualify for a mortgage. Record foreclosures, rising unemployment, losses in the financial markets and the current credit crunch have not only reduced the number of buyers who can buy but have also increased the number of houses that sellers need to sell. Prices are under pressure as home sellers lower their asking price to attract a buyer, and as lenders resell their foreclosed homes below market value. And it’s turning into a vicious cycle -- as many buyers need to sell their current home first -- and many sellers (unless they plan to rent) need new financing to get into their next home. As a result, a sea of real estate agents, mortgage brokers and home builders are going out of business. These professionals are in the business of serving buyers and sellers. But that’s hard to do with the credit crisis when the entire real estate industry traditionally relies on mortgage lending to finance buyers and get houses sold. What can homeowners do to sell their homes? How can buyers get financing if they can’t meet the tougher lending criteria on credit scores, income verification, down payment amounts and debt ratios?
There’s one local real estate professional who has found a way to make things work even with the present banking crisis. Mike MacDonald is the president of Summit City Investments, Inc. Since 1999, his private investment company has been buying houses throughout the Allen County, IN region without ever relying on banks. MacDonald’s company takes over existing mortgages or brings in private lenders allowing him to pay homeowners all cash for the properties. He then offers his properties for rent or “for sale by owner” using a variety of unique seller financing programs. By taking a long term approach and never relying on banks, business has never been better for MacDonald and his company. “Most sellers are unaware of the options we offer. What they need most is a qualified buyer... and we might just be that buyer. We can buy houses in as-is condition, pay top dollar and close in just a few days… or whenever they’re ready.”
Mike says it’s normal for people to think
they must be desperate before calling him to buy their house. “It’s a very common misconception. But until I look at a house and do some research, I won’t know my game plan for the property or what I can offer. But after a single visit to the property and meeting with the homeowners I can let them know exactly what I can do. My offer is good for 7 days and it’s only at that point, with my offer on the table, that a seller can decide if I’m going to become their buyer.” In fact, price is not an issue for MacDonald. As an investor, what’s important to him is the determination of what income the property can produce. “It’s easy to determine. I also do an appraisal and look at the recent comparable sales. Then I do whatever I can to offer a seller up to full price today -- or about what they might net sometime in the future pursuing a more conventional route. What I can pay depends on the condition, location and financing options available for that type of property. It only takes about 10 minutes to prescreen a property over the phone and to set an appointment. We typically buy 1 out of every 4 properties we see. In fact, for about half of those I have purchased, the seller pursued their other options and then came to realize that my offer was the best all along.” MacDonald believes the three biggest reasons a house doesn’t sell are: 1) it is overpriced, 2) it is poorly marketed, or 3) it is not fixed up to show well. “I can pay a fair price on a home that needs work. I might even plan to increase the value or marketability by adding a bedroom or bath, finishing a basement or installing a new heating system. Brand new carpet and paint will go a long way to attract a qualified buyer. But I understand that many sellers don’t have the time, inclination or money to remodel a house... just to get it sold. We solve that problem for sellers.” Overpricing a home could be the biggest mistake. Listing agents sometimes suggest (or a seller might decide) to ask for a higher price than needed. This might be to test the market or leave wiggle room to negotiate. However, this can backfire if the seller wants (or needs) a quick sale, or when the “days on the market” stacks up causing buyers to wonder what’s wrong with the property. Another misconception about how Mike MacDonald buys houses is the idea that he’s probably looking for sellers in financial distress. “Look, when a seller is out of time or out of options, then I’m usually their best solution -- if their property is not over-financed. But most people headed for foreclosure are either overleveraged or actually looking to save their house. If I buy the house the seller must move. They really need to get into a more affordable home... but sometimes I can help by swapping properties.” MacDonald warns about companies and real estate investors who target distressed homeowners. “Recent laws have been passed in Indiana that apply to any business and investor who targets people in foreclosure. Be cautious, do your research and perhaps seek legal advice when anyone wants to charge you an upfront fee for helping to get your loan modified, or... if they’re promising to lease the home back to you. That rarely works out like the borrower expects and can lead to accusations of fraud. Perhaps rightly so.” What does a real estate investor like Mike MacDonald do with the houses he
buys each month? What about the hundreds of houses his company has bought throughout Allen County, Indiana over the last 14 years? Simple. He rents them out or resells them. “We’re usually managing 80 to 100 properties at any given time -- making us one of the largest owners of single family homes in the area. Each month we may have 10 to 15 houses for sale. Some we’ve owned for years and others we have recently bought.” With a reasonable down payment, MacDonald says he can sell you one of his properties using his popular owner financing programs -- even if you have damaged credit or a short job history. His most popular owner financing “If you can afford a first month’s rent, a last month’s rent and a security deposit, then I can probably sell you one of my houses.”
out some sellers who have found themselves in over their head.” “We do everything we can to get our buyers permanent bank financing. It’s a win-win because we pay sellers all cash and fund our deals with private lenders. Our lenders are mostly local individuals seeking alternatives to low bank CD rates. They earn 8 to 10% interest on real estate notes well-secured by our properties. When we get our buyer cashed out, we finally make our money and can payoff our investor. These investors usually want to reinvest allowing us to buy even more houses.” Unfortunately many of the mortgage programs once available are now gone. It’s reported that 75% of the available lending disappeared when FHA changed their rules last October and again early this year. But, if you have money to put down and can prove your income, there are still loans available now. In fact, some rural development loans and VA loans still allow qualified buyers to borrow with no money down. “We help all of our buyers get a bank loan as quickly as possible... or we finance them ourselves. But we’ve never relied on banks. That keeps us in control and maintains our sanity. But we get those loans done every chance we get. In fact, sometimes a buyer can qualify and doesn’t even know it. Other times they can qualify but need a flexible seller. We’re one of the most creative and flexible sellers you’ll ever find,” says MacDonald. Does buying or selling a home have to be difficult? Maybe not! “President Obama says today's economy is the worst since the Great Depression and it may take many years to recover. Unfortunately I think he’s right and so do many sharp economists.” Interested in selling your property quickly and easily? Looking to buy a new home without bank qualifying? It may be worth checking in with Mike MacDonald and his staff at Summit City Investments, Inc. Call them at (260) 267-0760 or visit them online at www.SummitCityInvestments.com. They’re in a unique position to help buyers and sellers overcome the new challenges created by the recent mortgage market meltdown and credit crisis. And if you’re looking for a conservative way to earn 8-10% interest on your idle cash savings or retirement funds, call and ask for info on becoming one of their private lenders.
program includes the opportunity to build “sweat equity.” Before repairing or remodeling a newly acquired house, MacDonald offers it in “as-is” condition to his buyer’s list. This allows his client to do the work (to suit their own preferences) in exchange for all or part of a down payment. “I have a lot of buyers who check my website each week looking for these ‘fixer upper’ deals. But if the home is not under contract within 10 days or so then I’ll hire my contractors to fix it up completely.” His next most popular program is a down payment assistance plan. Many buyers turn to MacDonald’s company because they don’t have the down payment required by today’s cautious lenders. Mike helps buyers build up equity or a down payment over time with his rent-to-own (or lease with the option to buy) program. In this program you can rent the property you’ve decided to buy, but have the option to close anytime over the next 1, 2... or even 5 years. A portion of the rent each month is credited toward buying. Additional amounts can be paid monthly for more rapid equity build up plus other promised amounts can be made later... like proceeds from the sale of another property or a pending tax refund. Once the buyer has enough “skin” in the deal, MacDonald can close with owner financing at the predetermined, mutually agreed upon price and terms. Or the buyer SUMMIT CITY INVESTMENTS, INC. is can close with a new bank loan.
