Don’t Spend Thousands to learn how to Wholesale Real Estate

Featured

Posted on by

Let me share what I have learned from my experience. A wholesaler is a deal finder, an expert in his market that networks,advertised,researches and keeps up to date with the ever-changing real estate trends.

He or she researches online, places street signs, newspaper adds, flyers, brochures, gathers information, then goes back to research and evaluate a property by using the newest comparables “Comps” then calculate the cost of repairs.  After running the number he or she would have a very good idea of what the after repair value “ARV” for the property . This is done over and over because the success of a wholesaler is measured by the number of offer he or she makes in a daily basis.

How do you, as a real estate wholesaler, find great bargains?

First, we places street signs, run newspaper adds, flyers, brochures and network non-stop.

We  identify what is a possible deal, then we start evaluating each possible real estate investment scenario.

All Cash.  When you pay all cash, you must buy at a significant discount. Here are three examples when a seller could accept your all cash offer, (1) your seller owns the property free and clear from any loans or liens, (2) your seller has enough equity that you can buy below market value or (3) your seller has a lender that is willing to accept less than what is owed – also called a Short Sale.

Terms, or existing financing to purchase the property. Here are a couple of examples of where these types of real estate investment deals can be found

(1) The seller realizes that by selling on terms, they can make more money over time than they could by taking all cash today and putting the money in the bank at a low rate of return,

(2) The seller owes too much on the property for an all cash offer to work and is more interested in covering their payments and stopping the bleeding than they are in getting all cash today or

(3) The seller wants someone else to deal with the property

You are seeking for Motivated Sellers, people that have already decided that they need to sell and are ready  to make decisions to move on with their lives.

Always negotiate an offer that will work for you and will

help the seller solve his problem—-Win-Win solution.

Remember, as a real estate investor, you are either solving property problems or you are solving people problems.

Pick a Farm Area When you first start, pick just one or two small areas, neighborhoods or square block regions. Get to know the streets, the types of properties, the values and whether you can resell or whether you must rent the property to profit. Your neighborhood selection is critical to your success – don’t try to flip in a hold area and don’t try to hold in an area where rents don’t support values. In other words; become an expert of your working area.

Drive for Dollars After you have chosen your farm area, go drive the streets. Look for tall grass, boarded up and vacant properties, utility notices in the windows, disconnected gas meters and other signs of distress. Write down and create a list of the addresses of each house that appear to be “beaters” – the uglier the better, vacant the best.

When you’re driving the streets, you’ll find the beaters. Next, go back to your home or office, or down to the county courthouse and search for the owner of the beater. Send them a letter or call them and let them know that you are interested in buying their house.

Market your area Now, as you develop in your skill of understanding your farm area you should begin to market your message. If people don’t know that you buy houses, it’s impossible for them to call you and sell you theirs. You must market to your farm area and tell the people what you do. Use

flyers, postcards, street signs, business cards and just talk to people when you’re out driving the streets.

Be consistent. If you have never tried to market a business, let me tell you, a lack of consistency kills. You can not expect that if you distribute 200 flyers that you will buy 3 houses the first time.

Network, tell others what your intentions are. Let others know what you are looking for, how you will pay and how quickly you can close the deal. Really your goal is to be everywhere, all the time – that is within your farm area. If it’s a great real estate deal, you want to know about it. So, tell everyone what you do.

In the role as a real estate investor, you must be able to fix the property problem or fix the financing problem. When you get motivated sellers calling you, you will buy more bargain real estate deals than you can handle. It’s really that simple – try it!

The wholesaler is the investor that controls the “wholesale” Being
the wholesaler can be the way to earn quickly cash, without using
any of your own money or credit.

The wholesaler could use a real estate agent to help or could simply use a generic real estate purchase contract to control the real estate deal.

To pull off the quick sale to investor/rehabber, the wholesaler uses
either an Assignment of Contract or to orchestrate

the closing and give the investor-rehabber exactly what he wants – a Sweet Real Estate Deal.

Getting Into The Real Estate Game

Featured

Posted on by
Real estate has made more millionaires than anything else in  the US and one of the safest  investment option you probably have in any economy. We just need to know the rules of the game. In my opinion there are many ways of investing wisely. But for now, I will only mention three of them:
The first one is to educate yourself by reading real estate books, attending real estate seminars, webinars, real estate club meetings.  And if you are willing, you can invest from  $25,000 to  $80,000 in guru mentor-ships. In addition to countless hours of working and testing different markets. Making the prospect, analyzing the properties and performing due diligence for each. Creating strong relationships to create a dream team. And, going through the invaluable lessons of getting burned because of bad decision making and misjudgment the character of some individuals.
I am not saying this to discourage you in any way from getting into the real estate investment world.  I just want to give you inside information that many gurus don’t  mention when offering their books, CD’s and mentor-ships.

 

“Do not confuse motion and progress. A rocking horse keeps moving but does not make any progress. —Alfred A. Montapert “

 

The second option would be to partner up with an active and experienced  investor. as a contractor, bird dog, real estate broker or agent. You want to look for an investor who is in the game in a daily basis, who knows the ins and outs of the local market…
In other words. Some one that has been through the good, the bad and the ugly in the real estate game.

 

Good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgment. —Barry LePatner”

 

The third but not least, is to be the private money source ” the passive investor” the ” Private money” ” Hard money Lender” You just need to have very clear terms in writing and  to always have the other party put some skin $$$ in the game.  And, he or she needs to be an experienced and savvy investor, with a good reputation and a team that includes contractors,agents,title, escrow, property inspectors, bookkeeper, at least.

What is right of Rescission?

Posted on by
The Right of Rescission lasts for a period of three complete business days (72 hours from midnight the first day to midnight the third day) from the first day following your signing your loan contract. The Right of Rescission applies only to refinance transactions on a property that is used as the borrower’s primary residence. The Right does not apply on a purchase transaction or property that is being used for investment or a second home. The borrower may not waive his Right of Rescission.Subsequently the lender will not fund any loan until the Rescission period has expired. Be sure to check with your title company or settlement agent to determine when your rescission period ends because no funds will be disbursed prior to the end of the rescission period. This can affect paying off your previous mortgage as well as any other debts consolidated into the new mortgage. When trying to figure out when your loan will fund or when your rescission period is over you will count the 3 days beginning the day after signing. Monday-Saturday are all included as a rescission day however Sundays are not. Also legal holidays are not counted as rescission days. Rescission means the ability to cancel the contract. In relation to mortgage refinancing the law gives the homeowner 3 days to cancel a contract once it is signed and if the transaction used equity in the home as security. There is no Right of Rescission on primary residence purchase loans. With Non-owner occupied homes there is no rescission period.In certain states such as Texas rescission may be for a longer or shorter period of time. Your loan officer can help you answer this question for your state. You must exercise the right of rescission within three business days of signing the loan papers receiving all the loan disclosures and getting a copy of the notice that there is a right of rescission. The Right of Rescission is a federal law granted in the Truth-in-Lending to the mortgagors. It is meant to give the borrower a “”cool off”” period and to review the mortgage documents. In a refinance funding takes place after the 3-day rescission period. This period of time starts from midnight of the day of signing and goes until midnight 72 hours out. This means if you sign on Monday the loan will not fund until Friday. The rescission period is a federal right. You have 72 hours. However some lenders have decided to increase the rescission time. This is often done after getting the hand slapped for unfair lending practices. There are lenders now that will give you a 7 day rescission period. If a lender is offering you 7 days to rescind read your HUD 1 carefully for loan charges etc…Please note that most refinance transactions require that the lender provide you with a 72-hour time frame after the closing during which you may cancel the transaction. The money cannot be disbursed until after the 3- day “”Right of Rescission”” expires.””

Pump-Up Your Willpower!

Posted on by

“What does not kill us makes us stronger”

By constantly challenging ourselves we build an enduring character, which is essential for high achievement. To build your willpower muscle, start by taking on new, unusual activities in your daily life, things that are out of your comfort zone, like: Getting up an hour earlier every day, taking cold showers, reading an instructional book instead of watching your favorite show, taking on a new hobby, driving a different route to work, getting to know your neighbors, volunteering, try new foods.  Or just take care of what you have been putting off on the back burner (fixing a leaky faucet, adopting a bookkeeping system, getting rid of the clutter…etc). Do you get the point?
