(Reuters) – The number of homes taken over by banks topped 100,000 for the first time in September, though foreclosures are expected to slow in coming months as lenders work through questionable paperwork, real estate data company RealtyTrac said on Thursday.
Banks foreclosed on 102,134 properties in September, the first single month above the century mark, RealtyTrac said. There were 347,420 total foreclosure filings in September, 3 percent higher than August and 1 percent higher than a year earlier.
Some say there will be a dip in the 4th quarter, but only because on Wednesday, all 50 states launched a joint investigation of the mortgage industry after widespread reports of mortgage industry officials signing foreclosure documents without knowing their contents.
For the quarter, there were 930,437 foreclosure filings, an increase of 4 percent over the prior three months and 1 percent lower than a year ago. One in every 139 homes received a foreclosure filing in the third quarter.
Nevada had the nation’s highest foreclosure rate, up 1% from earlier, for the 15th quarter in a row. One in every 29 Nevada homes received a foreclosure filing during the third quarter.
Looking at total numbers of foreclosures, California was worst, with 191,016, followed by Florida, Arizona, Illinois and Michigan. Combined, the five states accounted for half of all foreclosures last quarter.
Let me ask you, have you ever read through Craigslist ad’s? Were you astounded at the dull headlines and weak text copy? You probably know what I’m talking about. The same old lame headlines that you wouldn’t click on if it were the only ad on the list. Or if you do click on a sharp headline, the ad copy suddenly dies a thousand deaths. Here’s the bottom line… Most ads on Craigslist make creating your own ad the easiest process ever. There is simply no competition when you learn the secret process I’m about to share with you.
Here it is…when you create and write an ad on Craigslist or other online ad, keep CURIOSITY in the forefront of you mind. Remember you are not selling anything in the ad. You are simply after a click through to your website. Curiosity is the only tool you will use. It is the secret of forcing people to do what you want… click through to your webite. First what NOT to do… don’t just copy other people advertising, think outside the box. What you want to do is to create a drama that plays out from the headline, to the text, to your website.
What do I mean by “Drama”? This is why a perfume commercial on TV never mentions the perfume until the last 5 seconds of the commercial. The whole commercial explores some drama of a beautiful girl meets handsome boy and strikes up a romance etc. It ends with a picture and name of the perfume. You can use this same secret. Create a drama that begins with your headline, which bridges into your text copy and leaves the reader curious how it ends which of course requires they click on a link taking them to your website, sales page etc.
Let’s look at an example: Keep in mind that the headline needs to have at least one word that makes that headline be acceptable in that subject. If you are advertising in the Job/Sales area, the word “marketing, marketer, sales, salesperson etc”, needs to be in the headline.
So we could say something like: Only the Best Salesperson will survive… (Dallas)
Text Area: Only the best salespeople will survive in these times. Even if you aren’t the “Best” we can help you become one when you market our one of a kind product to a new emerging demographic that has never existed before. The end is near for many but for our salespeople, it’s the beginning. Find out why and what we market by clicking HERE.
Now, picture yourself totally dominating Craigslist with a non-stop series of compelling ads, each with its own little storyline. Envision being able to create a non-stop flow of leads that come from your free craigslist ads. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week leads going to your website, then capturing that lead in your opt in form.
When writing ads, just think “Curiosity”! Build suspense at every step which leads to the next action. You are now armed and dangerous. Go get em’.

Jobs may be coming back, but they aren’t the same ones workers were used to.
As efforts to plug the ruptured well in the Gulf of Mexico continue to fall short, the stakes for the region’s economy grow ever higher.
Think Greece and Spain are drowning in debt? Look a little closer to home. Seven U.S. cities recently had their municipal bonds downgraded below investment grade. Their debt is now, junk, considered more worthless than that of the so-called PIIGS.
