Bankruptcy Filings Remain Virtually Unchanged / Team Thayer #realestate #market #housing #news #oregon

Since 2010, bankruptcy filings have been on a steady decline, for the most part. In February, however, the number of filings nationwide remained virtually unchanged year-over-year and shot up by nearly 24 percent over-the-month, according to February 2016 AACER bankruptcy data reported by Epiq Systems on Thursday.
Bankruptcy filings totaled 64,662 for February, only 402 lower than in February 2015 (a decline of less than 1 percent) but more than 12,000 higher than January 2016’s total (52,522), and February had only one more filing day than January (20, compared to 19).
February’s total brings the year-to-date amount of filings for 2016 up to 117,204, down from 124,052 reported for the first two months of 2015 and the combined total of 140,542 for January and February of 2014. The peak for any month of February occurred in 2010, when 117,989 filings were reported.
In February 2016, bankruptcy filings per day totaled 3,233 per day over 20 filing days, which was down slightly over-the-year from February 2015’s total of 3,421 filings per day. For the full year of 2015, filings totaled 3,264 per day over 251 filing days, for a cumulative total of 819,240 (an average of 68,270 per month). So far in 2016 in 39 filings days, filings have averaged 3,005 per day.

Successful real estate house flippers have one trait in common: they place an emphasis on proper planning. Once you’ve secured a deal, you must decide what kind of rehab you will perform.

Will you focus on implementing environmentally friendly renovations  – also known as “greenhabbing” – so that you  qualify for certain tax benefits ?
