Now isn’t the time to improve anything. It’s time to change everything.

 

Are you aware that over the course of the past few weeks, almost all lending for the investment community has dried up? Not only that, but it’s uncertain how long it will be before these products become available again.

But this doesn’t mean the end of the road for investment-based businesses who rely on funding to complete their deals.

 

Why should banks control us and our financial future? If they choose to close their doors and refuse to lend money to investors, then so be it. It’s time to change how the lending world works. 

 

Just because the economy takes an unexpected nosedive doesn’t mean our investments need to. When the banks say no, we can remain in control of our financial futures by turning to personal funding partners. 

 

OPM- or, Other People’s Money – funding is one of the best ways to gain and keep control over your finances as an investor and gives you the freedom to continue your business, even as the banks batten down the hatches.

 

Want more info on how to make the switch to funding your deals using OPM? Join us for our next weekly webinar! Whether you’ve dabbled with this way of doing business before, or you’re on the fence about how and when to get started, we’ll make sure you’ve got the information YOU need to thrive during these uncertain times.

Just remember: Keep it legal, keep it safe, keep it honest.

Everyone knows that you kill a business by cutting off their credit/finance. Once the credit is cut off, we are all in trouble.

 

Or, ARE we?

 

Did you hear the lending markets just explode/implode in on the investor market?  What felt like overnight (within mere weeks,) the traditional funding faucet was virtually turned off. Lenders across the country are pumping the brakes on loans for investment properties due to COVID19-related closures, job losses, and resulting economic uncertainty.

 

What does this mean for folks who rely on that normally steady stream of capital for investment real estate funding? The existing and would-be landlords? The fix-and-flippers? The fix-and-holders? The short answer: Without credit or funding, investing in properties becomes problematic. Therefore, MAKING money becomes much tougher. 

 

Notice that we said ‘tougher,’ and not ‘impossible?’ There IS another way…

 

Now is the perfect opportunity to create your very own banking system.

 

“What does that even mean,” you may find yourself asking? It means finding PEOPLE, not banks, with money—money that they would be willing to invest. This could be your mom, your best friend, your neighbor, or anyone else who has some extra funds that they want to put to work for their future financial benefit.

 

Don’t allow the banks to socially distance you from your investment income! Learn how to keep your business running steady now and in the future by having a consistent stream of OPM- or Other People’s Money- funding. 

Join us for our next weekly Webinar, where we’ll be going over market updates and the basics of how to transition your lending stream from traditional lenders to OPM funds, all while keeping it legal, keeping it safe, and keeping it honest for you AND your funding partners!

Wholesalers: 4 Ways to Find Them

Categories: ,

How do I find wholesalers?

This is a key question many real estate investors ask…and it’s a great question to ask! A key part of the BRRRR method (buy, renovate, rent, refinance, repeat) includes finding and buying under market properties. Although there are many ways to go about buying under market properties, one of the best is via wholesalers.

Who are wholesalers? 

Simply put, they’re companies whose sole focus is finding undervalued properties, negotiating the sale, and offering them to real estate investors like yourself. Most of the houses that wholesalers find do not have the margins for traditional fix and flips. However, they work great for rental investments.

Wholesalers have two basic rules of thumb when selling their properties. The buyer must:

  1. Purchase it as is.
  2. Purchase it quick.

They will not wait around for appraisals, inspections, and loan approvals. If you want one of their properties, you have to be able to close fast. (Check out our Quick to Buy, Quick to Refi Strategy to learn how you can close your deals fast.)

Where do I find wholesalers?

One of the biggest hiccups investors experience when it comes to wholesalers is finding them. So, we’ve listed out 4 simple methods to try out:

Finding wholesalers is key to capturing free equity.

  1. Search Google for “wholesale properties” or “buy my house.” Most wholesalers are advertising to buy properties AND sell them quickly to investors.
  2. Search Google for “investor carrot” in your local area. This is the #1 website template for wholesalers.
  3. Check in with “Ugly Homes.” They buy and sell a lot.
  4. Call your local realtor office and ask who is working with investors.

Buying under market properties is key to capturing free equity and multiplying your cash flow. So, what are you waiting for? Learn more about rental investments and how to get the most bang for your buck by contacting us or downloading one of our free investor tools!

Whether you’re just starting to flip houses or you’ve become an old pro, it never hurts to read about other people’s experiences and learn about tricks of the trade.

We’ve all seen those “reality” shows on TV, where they showcase a house flipper who makes a ton of mistakes, yet somehow still manages to turn a profit. It makes for nice TV, but it certainly isn’t part of any reality I’ve ever experienced.

Check out this post from Mindy Jensen on Bigger Pockets. She offers 11 expert tips on flipping homes, from beginning to end.

2 Key Pillars of BRRRR

Categories: ,

BRRRR is great, but did you know there are 2 key pillars of BRRRR that most investors don’t know about? Whether you’re just starting out with real estate investing, or you’re an ol’ pro, you should consider taking advantage of these crucial steps to ensure you don’t miss out on cash boosting opportunities.

Take a look at this video and learn about the two key pillars of the BRRRR method.

Rental Investment Tips: How to BRRRR and Make Money

If you invest in rental properties, then you need to:

  1. Buy under market properties (i.e. wholesale).
  2. Use the Quick to Buy, Quick to Refi strategy.

These steps help you maximize your loan amount while limiting the cash you need to put into each deal. They also ensure you’re able to buy more deals and build your portfolio at a faster pace.

Through research and conversations, we discovered many investors are confused about how to get going on a deal with little to no money. So, we’ve taken a step back and tried to figure out why that is.

We found out many investors don’t understand the power of the appraisal/ARV. When you get into a long-term loan, you get to use the appraisal value/ARV.  It doesn’t matter what you originally paid for the property or the amount of money you put in to fix it up. As long as you set up the loan properly, then you should be able to use the appraised value/ARV.

If you’re ready to maximize your cash flow, capture lots of free equity, and live the life you want, check out the full video.
