Discounted Cash Flows - purchase wealth at a discount!
Posted by admin on August 16, 2008 in Finance :: Mortgage & Debt
I've been surfing the web for links related to discounted cash flows - there are many websites on this and related topics, such as mortgage notes, foreclosure investing, business notes, and so on and so forth. The concept of the discounted cash flow (or DCF) is not new, but in today's economic climate it is coming back into vogue. One of the biggest topics on people's minds these days is all the news about foreclosures. This situation is miserable for many, but for those with cash to invest, foreclosure investing stands to make quite a bit of money. However, many people are still making money with discounted notes in very creative ways, such as mobile home notes and various nonstandard discounted cash flows such as lottery payouts. Basically, with some creativity, many things can become a discounted cash flow and thus be bought and sold on the secondary market. Remember, even if you purchase an annuity or discounted cash flow, you can often sell it again to another buyer (or an institutional buyer) if you need a quick payout of cash!
