There is More Than One Way to Skin…a Real Estate Deal With Seller Flexibility in Selling Property

Jack and Mary were desperate. Mary received a big promotion in another state and Jack was looking for a new job in the same city. It was just too good to pass up. Mary was a rising star in the health care industry and with the huge pay boost and promotion it was a job she had dreamed of ever since leaving graduate school armed with her MBA. Jack was a natural born salesperson and could work anywhere selling just about anything. He liked high tech sales in the high ticket electronics field and was close to catching on with a company in the same city as Mary’s new job. One problem, they had a large house to sell in a very slow and slumping real estate market.

Jack and Mary counseled with the local real estate ace that had long been the resident expert Realtor for their community. They had been in their home for six years and with the past real estate surge they had lots of equity now. Because this was happening so fast, Mary moved to a small apartment near her new job. The relocation price offered by the company was way too low for what they felt they could command in the market. This option was rejected. With ongoing brain storming with Tyler the Realtor, the scenarios included, lease options, lease purchase, and a seller held second. The lease scenarios would be the iffiest of the three. Jack and Mary instructed Tyler to hold the price and offer to pay the selling Realtor a selling fee plus a bonus of $2,500 and agreed to pay the closing costs and prepaid expenses (pre-paid interest, tax and insurance escrows) up to an offered $14,000. Likewise, Tyler was instructed to offer through the MLS selling terms to include a seller held second of 5% to 10% of the purchase price. The list price of $475,000 would mean that the Jack and Mary were willing to hold a second mortgage of 5% Loan To Value (LTV) or $475,000 x 5% = $23,750 or 10% LTV at $475,000 x 10% = $47,500.
Tyler, the listing Realtor, had been in discussion with a mortgage broker active in their area and had some clients that could only get a 90% to 95% LTV first mortgage. They had some credit dings, which were holding them back. Each had fully documented income and was making good money. There were valid reasons for their rocky credit history and both needed time to rebuild their credit. Tyler showed the home to both the prospective buyers who had credit challenges. The first couple didn’t like the kitchen layout or the back yard size. The second couple liked the house and had similar reservations but with the flexible financing they figured they could live with it and make changes and improvements down the road when they could refinance down the road and get sufficient monies to do some home improvements.

Jack had closed up the house and had moved with the furniture in tow to join Mary at her new location. The furniture was put into storage in hopes that it wouldn’t be there long with Realtor Tyler on the case. Jack had been actively working on his job hunt in the new city for two weeks now. Tyler was now on the phone presenting the offer from the buyers who needed seller help. The buyers would need Jack and Mary to pay $15,000 in closing costs and prepaid expenses. Tyler was making the deal himself so there was no bonus involved. The offer was based on a seller held second mortgage of $47,500 with an interest rate of 10% with a 30-year term and a three-year balloon. The payments would be $416.85/month. At closing, Jack and Mary would payoff their first mortgage of $200,000 and would get somewhere around $188,000 in cash at closing and the seller held second of $47,500.00 paying $416.85/month. Tyler went on to explain that the buyers were putting very little of their own money in the deal and explained the downside risk involved if the buyers defaulted. The only way they could protect their 2nd mortgage equity would be to buy in the first mortgage or just take the loss. Tyler and the mortgage broker, with the buyer’s permission, indicated that Jack and Mary were in essence underwriting the 2nd mortgage loan on part of the buyers. It was up to them to pass or deny.

On weekends Jack and Mary were looking at new homes, which might meet their needs. One in particular, due to the soft market, the builder was offering major concessions and sales inducements including paying all the closing costs and prepaid expenses. With potentially $180,000 cash available for any purchase they were looking at a builder deal loaded with incentives for a home worth $750,000, which they could now buy for $650,000. The nagging fear was what would happen if the 2nd mortgage payer defaulted. Since, it was up to Jack and Mary to pass on the buyer’s credit worthiness, with the buyer’s permission, they went over their entire credit package and personally interviewed them on the phone to find out something of the character of the buyers and the back ground of the of how the credit dings had taken place. It turns out it was a temporary medical problem that had put them behind the eight ball and precipitated their credit dings. Jack and Mary decided to take the deal. Since the buyers had been already pre-qualified, the sale took place in two weeks.

Jack and Mary, with closing funds in hand, closed moved into their new home. Six months had passed and the buyer’s of their prior residence had made their second mortgage payments on time as agreed. The home had everything they wanted in a home except a pool and spa. The dilemma for Jack and Mary, even though they had got an incredible interest rate in the soft market they were reluctant to incur any additional debt with the 2nd mortgage paying off in now 2.5 years. Jack received a letter in the mail from an investment note buyer who was offering to buy the note at a discount since the note now has some “seasoning”. Running the math, with the investor getting a 15%+ yield on a 10% face rate ballooning in the next 30 months were offering to buy the note for $42,900 cash. Just for grins, Jack being the super salesman and dealmaker had been working on construction quotes with a pool contractor. He had managed to negotiate a $5,000 reduction and could put everything they wanted for $40,000. Pool contractors were slow right along with the rest of the real estate market. Jack and Mary showed the documentation to the note buyer that indicated six months of on time payments together with copies of the note and mortgage. The note was sold netting out $42,000 in cash. The pool was built the following week. Life was good.

Soft markets can lead to flexible terms which can help complete real estate deals. Keep and open mind. There is more than one way to skin a…real estate deal.

Real Estate Investing Options For Novices

There are various options and strategies that yield different results. Given below are a few strategies that can help you in your real estate investing mission. It is important to understand the risk factors before committing your hard-earned money in any such venture.
Real estate investing is an easy way of getting quick and assured returns on your investment provided you know what your goals are and how to do it properly. With inflation cutting into your regular income, it is always desirable to earn that extra bit of money in order to be able to meet emergency financial requirements, college education of your children or for building up a financial reserve for your retirement. Real estate investing can help you in all these objectives once you know exactly which investment option would suit you best.

Beginners in this field need to be extra careful as they can lose their hard-earned money if they make real estate investments without getting professional advice and making a thorough research. There are many strategies that can help you in making the right decisions and going for the right options.

Buying And Selling Strategy

This option enables you to make some fast cash by buying a bargain house and disposing it off to another investor. The trick lies in locating such a property and finding another real estate investor who would pay you for locating such a bargain deal.

Rental or Residual Income Strategy

This strategy enables you to get monthly income from your investment. You need to look for a property that you can obtain at a bargain value and that would fetch a good rental income. As long as you are able to get a monthly rental amount that exceeds the monthly mortgage payment, you are in business. This can prove to be a double-edged tool if you are not able to get the rent that you had anticipated or if the mortgage interest rate is high, thus escalating the monthly mortgage payment.
This option is ideal if you have a good credit rating that will enable you to get a low mortgage interest rate. Moreover, you can get good returns in a few years as the rental income moves up and the mortgage payment remains the same.

Property Investment Strategy

If you do not want to deal with tenants and your goal is to make long-term profit, you can buy a property, refurbish it and sell it at a profit. You can also buy a property, transform it and then sell it.
Apartment buildings can be transformed into condominiums and old houses can be transformed into luxury villas. You can also indulge in speculation by buying land cheaply at an undeveloped site and then waiting for the area to develop before selling it at a profit.

Flipping Option

This strategy can be used to great advantage and profit. You need to look for a property that is in a bad shape and available at a bargain price. You can then start refurbishing this property using all your creative skills and transforming it into an extremely attractive house.

The next step is to find a buyer who would be attracted by this property and who would be willing to pay you much more than what you paid for it and the refurbishing cost. However, it is necessary that you have the financial resources to go through with this process and be able to hold on to the property until such time that you are able to find the right buyer. A lot of hard work and risk of speculation is involved in this strategy.
Although, hard work is needed, knowledge will be your key to profits.

4 Steps To Real Estate Investing Success!

 

Real estate investing is always good and sometimes it’s red hot. When it’s hot dozens of real estate seminars begin rolling across the country and thousands of people spend thousands of dollars for investing education.

It’s startling to learn that of all those thousands of eager folks who attend these seminars only about 5% buy even one investment house. Why? The real estate gurus sell the “sizzle” and make profiting from real estate sound easy. The truth is that it’s simple, but not easy.

Here’s a quick plan that will enable anyone to begin building financial independence.

There are basically four steps to investing in single family homes:

1. Buy homes below full market value. Yes, people really do sell homes for less than the home’s full value. The key is to understand that most home owners will only consider a purchase offer that is all cash and within 5% to 10% of their asking price.

The successful investor learns to find financially distressed home owners who have no choice but to sell for less than market value. They have lost their job or been suddenly transferred; they are divorcing; they been living beyond their income; the family has been overwhelmed with medical bills and, not uncommonly these days, their money has gone to support a drug habit.

Those are examples of motivated sellers. They have to sell and they will accept something other than a conventional, all cash offer.

2. How do you find motivated sellers? You work at it! Like any business it is important to develop a little marketing plan. One that is simple, yet very effective, is the one that was proven 75 years ago by the Fuller Brush company; door to door sales.

You are selling your skill as a home buyer to people who must sell. Your are there when they need you and you have the skill to help them solve at least part of their problem. With door to door prospecting you will learn more and buy more homes quicker than any other method. However, most people just won’t walk door to door for three or four hours per week. OK, there are other ways.

You can watch public notices for the announcement of foreclosure sales. Meeting with a home owner right after they’ve received a notice that they are about to lose their home allows you to deal with a very motivated seller. Other public notices that provide buying opportunities include probate, divorce and bankruptcy. You can follow the Homes For Sale listings in your local newspaper or Internet site.

You can telephone the names found in these notices or, and this is the least time consuming, send a postcard expressing your interest in buying their property. It will produce buying opportunities, just not as many as personal contact.

3. After you’ve found a motivated seller you must understand how to frame offers that provide benefits for both you and for the home owner. A good real estate investor quickly learns that this is not a business of stealing property, but of solving problems in a way that benefits the seller.

The home owner is in a tight spot of some kind and you can save them from public embarrassment and, in most cases, give them at least a little cash to get a new start.

No investor can afford to leave cash in every deal. No one but Bill Gates has that much available money. You must use creative techniques like, leases, option and taking over mortgage payments. Little or no cash is needed for those deals. You can find plenty of reasonable priced educational material on those subjects in book stores or on EBay. The same education that seminars sell for thousands of dollars.

4. You make your profit when you buy! Never make a purchase until you’ve carefully determined exactly how you will get to your profit. If you hold it as a long term investment will the monthly rental income more than cover the monthly mortgage payment? Will you sell the deal to another investor for fast cash? Will you do some fix-up and sell the property for full value? Will you quickly trade it for a more desirable property? Have a plan before you buy.

There you have four steps that even a part-time investor can execute in three to four hours per week. What’s the missing ingredient? Your determination and perseverance. If you will unfailingly follow the plan for a few months you will be well on your way to financial independence.

Making Simple Repairs On your Property Will Bring Bigger Profits

Selling your home can be a challenge, especially if you want to sell it fast. You also want to get the most money for your home. There are certain ways to increase your chances without spending too much.

If you have been taking care of your home while living in it, then repairs should be at a minumum and you can hire a handyman to do most of the work for you. A handy man can be found locally, if you can’t get a family member or friend to do the work for you.

One of the first things a potential buyer will notice when viewing your property is the condition of the other properties around it. Encourage your neighbors to clear away children’s toys, junk cars, or other unsightly objects before buyers come looking.

You can even make an offer to mow the neigbor’s lawns on either side of your house or take their trash to the dump as an incentive. They will thank you for it. You can also make a deal with your neighbor to compensate them with a small cash offer as soon as the house is sold and you will most likely get their cooperation.

At the same time, show them you’re getting your own house in order. Mow the lawn carefully and repair any bare spots. You want to create curb appeal. The first impression is the most lasting impression to any buyer that will see your house. Trim the edges and invest in a few dozen inexpensive flowers and plants if the season permits it.

Since a home inspection will almost always be done prior to a conclusive bargain being struck, take the opportunity to make those inexpensive plumbing repairs BEFORE showing the house. Some of the more expensive ones might wait, to be used as a bargaining chip. But fix that leaky sprinkler head that sprays the sidewalk and replace that dripping bathroom faucet.

Make sure that there is no visible flaws. Replacing carpeting throughout an entire house, or even one room, can be expensive. But getting it cleaned costs very little, typically. And repair any small damage or try to cover it with a piece of furniture. Eventually, you’ll have to show every flaw when you have a concrete deal. But it needn’t be the first thing they see. Replace those old welcome mats and small entrance rugs with new ones.

New screens are low priced and can make the exterior look fresh and new. To save even more, you can remake the screens with mesh and rubber kits, provided the frames are still in good shape.

Replace any cracked or broken windows. You’ll usually have to do this anyway as part of closing the deal. Of course, all the windows should be cleaned thoroughly to give that shiny new feel. Even a brand new house that’s dirty will fetch a lower price.

If you have air conditioning and heating ducts, replacing defective or worn conduits can get very costly. But many parts in a house that are not seen use silvered duct tape anyway, so patch any holes carefully to give a professional look. Replace old filters to give the appliances a newer look and the air a fresher smell.

A bit of spackle and a coat of paint on those rooms that have seen accidents needn’t cost a lot and don’t take a lot of effort. Be sure the work is done carefully, though, or it can come out looking worse than before you started.

The interior must have a good odor. Painting some of the rooms will help to create a sense of newness and a desire that will prompt the buyer toward making a quicker decision to buy.

A buyer that sees that you’ve made efforts to keep the property up will be more inclined to offer a better price. Think of the last time you bought a car. Didn’t you favor the one that was well maintained? You were probably willing to pay a little extra to get that one. They will be too. Take the steps to make your home more desirable for sale. You will attract more quality buyers who will appreciate and fall in love with your home.

Sell your Home Fast – Helping a Buyer Buy your Home

In the past, a family saw your house, it was just right for them, and you had a sale. Today the decisions are more based on financing options available to them rather than the considerations of neighborhood, style, or space.

Real estate brokers agree that the most important questions are,”How much will this property cost me per month?” and, “What kind of financing can I qualify for?”

There are many ways to finance the purchase of a new property. The first is to pay cash, but most people can’t afford to do this. The most common route people chose to purchase a home is by making a down payment to the broker or seller, followed by monthly mortgage payments of principal, interest, taxes, and property insurance.

The buyer also can agree to pay the remaining mortgage debt on your current mortgage loan. This would cause the closing costs to be considerably lower, the interest rate on the old mortgage might be lower than the current rates for the new mortgage, and the transaction can be closed quicker.

The buyers are usually required to place a deposit of five to ten percent of the price of the price as earnest money. The home is then taken off the market while financing can be arranged. Of course this deposit will be lost if the seller isn’t able to carry out the contract.

Mortgage is basically a loan for purchasing a piece of property. A lender provides cash to buy a home, at a price. The mortgagor signs a legal document which obligates them to repay the mortgagee in regular installment for a multiple of years, racking up money on interest.

Mortgages are commonly provided by savings banks, commercial banks, savings-and-loan associations, mortgage bankers, insurance companies, and occasionally home sellers.

If you plan on selling your home to a family member or friend, make sure you make everything on a firm business basis, and leave nothing to verbal agreement. Keeping strong documentation not only prevents problems, it saves you in the event of a problem.

Mortgage sources may offer a conventional mortgage loan without any guarantee, or one insured by HUD or guaranteed by the Veterans Administration.

A buyer who is able to qualify for a conventional mortgage, but isn’t able to make the large down payment might be able to qualify using HUD-insured financing. This makes it possible for the borrower to make a smaller down payment, and often lower monthly payments. HUD and FHA have guaranteed the mortgage for thousands of people. HUD insurance means that a down payment required might be as low as five percent, or in Veterans Administration guarantee there might be no down payment whatsoever.

If you want to trade your home for an older home that needs some fixing up, you might be able to purchase and renovate your second home by obtaining a HUD-inspired mortgage loan in an amount that includes the necessary repairs. HUD’s commitment is based upon the value of the home after improvements are made.

The most popular types of creative financing are: the wrap-around, the balloon, the negative amortize, the long-term closer, the shared-appreciator, the equity participator, and the graduated payment, long-term adjustable. Real estate experts have estimated at least 100 new kinds of mortgages are designed for your specific needs in mind every day.
