Short Sale Expert: Syndicating Equity Funding

The newest game in Short Sale transactions is getting your deals funded by equity partners.

This is supposed to eliminate the difficulties associated with “1-Day Transactional Funding”.

As a master syndicator you can do both:

Option A: You can syndicate your short sale business with Transactional Funding.

Option B: You can syndicate certain deals with equity partners.

What is the difference, and what should you do?

Transactional Funding is usually available for only one or two days.

That means the funds have to be paid back on the same day or the next day.

The difficulties you can run into are:

  • Seasoning requirements of the lender in the B-to-C closing
  • Difficulties coordinating the A-to-B and B-to-C closings so they can happen back-to-back.

These are good reasons to use equity partners instead.

Listen to this: “Syndicating” deals is a mind set of not doing everything on your own!

OK, so being able to tap into an existing source of Transactional Funding and an existing source or pool of equity partners can be a crucial piece of the puzzle for your real estate investing.

Stay tuned as we ramp up our short sale and REO activities.

You can get profitably involved as a deal finder, agent, or mortgage alliance in our Syndicated Short Sale System.

How To Become a Short Sale Syndication Expert

How to Become a 6-Figure Short Sale Syndication Expert and dominate
your market with less effort and more success.

I’m excited today!

Because I am taking the steps to allow you to become
part of my Short Sale Syndication Business model.

But first, let m tell you about our block party…

Last night we had our annual
block party on the street where
we live.

We all went – my wife, Nancy,
and our children (the younger
5 came with us, the 2 oldest
joined us for dinner…)

And we met old neighbors, and
the newest neighbors and their
pets and children…we got a lot
more new phone numbers for our
babysitter base!

One of the first people we talked
to was Linda, the local real estate
agent.

She lives on our street, too.

So I asked Linda about short sales.

And like MOST agents I ever talk to
about short sales, she said:

“Oh, I generally try to stay away
from them, because they are hard on
the buyers and on myself, and they
rarely ever close.”

Bingo!

Among the many different niches that you could focus on in real estate,
short sales are one of the hottest niches today.

Banks desperately need short sale syndicators to avoid
having to take back even more homes in foreclosure.

So what does a short sale syndicator do?

A short sale syndicator has the knowledge and vision to
put together several different people who – together – can
process an extended pipeline of short sale deals.

Syndication means you set up a system for multiple
use of the same type of deal.

In this example of a short sale syndication business,
the key component that the syndicator might bring
to the table is the precise knowledge of how to
structure the deal, legally and ethically, so that
these results will occur:

  • High acceptance ratio of short sale offers
  • Most if not all accepted deals are being re-sold immediately for a profit
  • Dedicated and specialized individuals are recruited for the different tasks in a short sale
  • Deal finders (agents and investors) keep the deal funnel filled
  • Selling agents list and locate end buyers
  • Top notch negotiators get the deals accepted
  • Transactional Funding source is always available to close deals

All the short sale syndicator needs to do is setup and monitor this team
and system structure.

This can be done locally or in any market you wish to enter.

Where do you come in?

Leave a comment on this blog post and engage in the conversation!
Then watch my blog post in the next few days carefully, and
I will show you how you can get involved.

This is for licensed agents and mortgage brokers, as well as
beginning and experienced investors as well!

Top 5 Must-Dos in Real Estate Market Research

Have you been wondering why it seems hard to sell properties in a slow or down market?

Maybe you have not updated your market research to include this Top 5 List of Market Research Must-Dos.

This Top 5 List applies to any market, and any type of real estate investing.

Download your copy of the “Shock And Awe Real Estate Report“:spread3

** How to GET UNSTUCK and rapidly accelerate the
growth of your business…

** How to get clear and focus only on the most
results-oriented activities…

** How you can connect to a network of proven
50/50 investment partners who do deals with you
again… and again… and again…

** And FINALLY… how to avoid the 8 common
mistakes that cause 92% of investors to fail…

Top 5 Must-Dos in Real Estate Market Research

Top 1: Find out which market segment is selling more and faster than others.

This can apply to a certain neighborhood, a specific price range, a specific size and type of home, and a specific condition of the home. You can find out this information from your agent and/or title company.

Top 2: Find out what type of buyers are active in that market segment.

In many markets FHA buyers are covering a certain price range and type of properties. If that is the case, pay close attention to the condition of these properties, and the price ratio between FHA buyers and other properties on the market, particularly bank owned listings! If you want to focus on flipping deals to rehabbers, find out which properties were cash transactions or closed with non-traditional financing.

Top 3: Take a closer look at the sold comps of only the last 3 months.

If you see a declining tendency in this time frame, make room for further price drops in your offers. Older comparables are more likely to be out of date and should not be considered.

Top 4: Compare inventory levels and emphasize active listings in your overall analysis.

If inventory levels are rising, you can expect longer marketing times and possibly lower selling prices. You can predict inventory levels by considering your foreclosure filings. If you have a large increase of trustee sales in the specific area, inventories will likely go up by a similar ratio, after a certain lead time (about 2 months).

Top 5: Make sure you are aware of any outside influences that may be important.

At times, your area may be affected by certain government or other programs that have been announced, or are going to expire. These programs, like the “First Time Home Buyers Credit” taht is currently in effect can strongly influence buying behaviour – sometimes only in specific market segments.

Having a list like this is very important and can also be used to estimate “BPO’s” for short sales etc. Always do your homework, and you will be able to leverage this competitive market insight to your or your clients’ advantage.

Please let me know if you have anything to add to this list, or if you have any question or opinion about this list! – Just leave me a comment!

6-Figure Syndication – The Shock and Awe

“Shock and Awe” is originally a military term that stands for
a surprise attack tactic.

This real estate investor has remained in the background to build
his world wide real estate syndication network.

Now he is ready to release his brand new report,
“The Shock and Awe Doctrine“.

In it, the quiet, and personable real estate investor ruthlessly
disarms everything you thought you knew about real estate
investing with armor-piercing bullets.

He squelches the 7 Greatest Fears that are holding real estate investors
back with knock-out blows, and yet, in his training videos he appears
as harmless as Clark Kent.

Could it be that this is the Syndication Superman that can get YOU to
step out of your comfort zone?

And finally do what you need to do?

Stop thinking about what you could do?

And be the resourceful syndicator you never knew was
hidden deep inside of you?

You will never know – unless…

…you get this Shock and Awe Doctrine NOW!

(to be continued…)

Investor Buyer Needs Property

“How can I go about looking for a property for a buyer that I have on my list without being a licensed agent?” This is a question that I get a lot – and I notice a lot of different answers are given by experts, gurus, real estate agents etc.

First, let’s be very clear. Real Estate is an area of commerce that is far more regulated than many others. Only licensed real estate professionals are allowed to REPRESENT buyers and sellers in a real estate transaction.

In order to get involved in buying and selling real estate as an investor, and working with buyers and sellers to flip properties or assign contracts, you need to become a PRINCIPAL in the real estate transaction.

That means you need to be either the buyer, or the seller in the transaction, or you need to be affiliated with either the buyer or the seller by way of a partnership or joint venture agreement.

Now, I am not a licensed real estate professional, or practicing law or accounting, but from my personal experience I can share with you here.

Several methods of wholesaling are fairly well known and easy to do when you start with the property. You put the property under contract (you are the BUYER in this contract), then you find a buyer to assign the contract to (your buyer steps into your position as the buyer in your first contract), or sell the property immediately after you’ve closed on your purchase.

But how can you do this for an investor buyer who needs a property? I have used a simple joint venture agreement that has specific provisions for ending the JV at the time the property is purchased.

You could also just build your buyers list and then look for properties for YOU to buy that match your buyers’ buying criteria. Then you will still go through the same paperwork and deal structure as when you’re starting with the property.

Please let me know how you handle this and share your experiences by leaving a comment below! I really appreciate it!

By the way: I’m looking for a wholesale property of up to about $200,000 in a good rental area, LA or Orange County preferred. Could also be land, small units, or small commercial building…
