Who else wants to hear about Government Grants and Funding Options?

Posted by Marshall on April 14, 2010

While our U.S. Government may be misguided in some of it’s programs and re-distributing the wealth ideas, some of the programs still make enough sense to pursue them.

Many big time commercial real estate investors have used government grants and loans to build ENORMOUS commercial real estate empires.

If you would like to hear about some of these programs and what YOU might be able to do with them, enter your e-mail in the form below to subscribe to my free “Government Grants and Funding Solutions” newsletter.

Over the next several weeks, I’m going to be gauging how much interest we have. Once I know that, we will finalize the schedule for a private, free webinar with THE top Government Grant getting expert I know.

So, make sure you sign up for the newsletter and I will keep you updated on our progress.

P.S. If you don’t sign up, you will likely not be reminded about the webinar once it is scheduled. Then you’ll be sitting around one day thinking, “Man, whatever happened with that government grant webinar I wanted to see”. Come on, you don’t want to miss this! :)

Hedge fund profits webinar

Posted by Marshall on February 10, 2010

________________________________________
UPDATE: Since we couldn’t do the webinar last Thursday due to the weather, see my next post regarding what is now available.

http://rapidreiresults.com/wordpress/?p=553

This latest post explains how to get the special report on funding commercial real estate deals with hedge funds, both for your own deals and for finding funding for other investors.
________________________________________
Thursday Feb 11th at 9pm eastern time. You MUST register
and I’d do it RIGHT NOW:

Check out this video from Marcus and Millichap president Harry Green where he weighs in on the state of commercial real estate.

Back to our webinar info:

Here’s what you’ll learn:
UPDATE: **************************
Sign up now and get access to the replay webinar.
You will be automatically sent the information to get to the replay, plus the special report will be sent to you.
*********************************

* How to enter the secretive realm of the
hedge funds, to connect them with money making
opportunities right in your neighborhood right now

* How to benefit from the commercial real estate
crash, without investing a dime in buying or selling
properties

* How to find deals with almost no work, so you
simply introduce someone to a private equity
fund or hedge fund and get a guaranteed
commission that can be enormous

* How to find a lender as opposed to yet another broker.
The difference? You’ll have access to the direct
decision-makers on the loans you want funded. And
they’ll have access to private equity and hedge fund
investors because everyone is participating in the
loans, not brokering them to someone else

* How to submit a deal so that there is no further work
required on your part

* A simple “back of the envelope” way to know
that a deal is likely to fly, and when it’s not.

* What makes a good deal or a bad deal

* How to go to networking meetings and find deals
right and left

* How to connect applicants with lenders with a simple
two page form guaranteeing you will get paid, so that
is ALL you have to do, you’re done, and someone else
makes you money while you move on or pursue your hobbies
and spend time with family.

* How to make the big money in “commercial
loan modifications” and “workouts”

Register for the webinar here:

BTW. This training webinar alone is easily worth thousands to a
person who is willing to take the action steps and there MAY not
be ANY replay:

Full Disclosure: While Richard and I are covering a ton of great
stuff on the call, he can’t possibly teach you everything you
need to know in a 1-2 hour webinar.
There is an offer at the end to get further training and support
from Richard and his team. If you decide to purchase his program,
my company will be compensated and you’ll be helping me feed the
children (The Moreland Children, 4 with a 5th one on the way :) .

Get this though, if you decide to purchase the program, I’m going
to include a very special bonus to help you with your online
marketing as well. You’ll be able to apply this bonus to ANY
type of business you are doing online.
Remember though, there is no obligation to purchase anything
and the webinar alone is going to be worth some serious money.

Bad News… More Bank Failures

Posted by Marshall on January 30, 2010

Hey, did you hear the news?

Unless you get direct updates from the FDIC, you probably haven’t heard this yet. SIX (6) banks went belly up on Friday. That is a total of 15 for the year!! Last year, we only lost 140. Yeah right, ONLY 140. That was a HUGE number. This year is going to be an even bigger year of banks closing. I’ll bet that we see between 200-250 banks get shutdown.

So… WHO do you think is the most motivated seller out there right now? They don’t want you to know it and they put up a great front, but the banks and other lenders are the MOST motivated sellers for today and likely for the next 2-3 years. Why are they so motivated?

It’s simple actually, but not intuitive. The banks are getting hammered by the FDIC right now, so much so, the FDIC can not even keep up with the numbers of banks that they need to close. If the FDIC had the manpower and a way to handle it all, they would likely get it all over with quickly like ripping off a band-aid… but they can NOT handle all of the volume.

The Office of Thrift Supervision is one of the agencies that goes in and examines the banks’ books. If the bank is found to be out of compliance in the number of performing loans to non-performing loans and the amount of cash on hand, they have serious consequences.
So serious in fact, if the deficiencies are not corrected quickly, they come in and close down the bank. That is why you can bank on at least 2-5 banks closing on any given Friday right now.

What’s even worse, to help correct the issue, banks are calling commercial loans due to build up their cash reserves. The strange thing is, they are calling the PERFORMING LOANS due!!! They are then taking significant discounts on even performing loans just to raise cash. The reason the call commercial loans due is because they CAN. It is written into most of the commercial loans out there that the bank can call them due.

So, how can YOU take advantage of this situation?

If not more importantly, how can you HELP in this situation? Well, you and I are not going to fix this problem ourselves, it is just too big. However, there are several ways to help sellers, the banks and your own wallet in this economy. First, you need to arm yourself with the knowledge and the capital to get it done.

Good news!! If you are already dabbling with commercial real estate, or you think you’d like to, there are many ways to get involved. I suggest start small, learn the language and get relationships.
I will be hosting some webinars over the next several weeks to help you in that education process.

Also, if you missed my webinar on Thursday night, go below for the encore call.
You’ll see why once you get a chance to see it.

My guest has a way to accelerate your involvement in commercial real estate by hooking you up with funding straight from Government agencies that MUST lend this money out. In fact, they added an additional $4.5 Billion to this amount in 2009… Tons of it is still available.

If you tried to get on the call Thursday and couldn’t get connected, I would like to apologize. We had an issue with the original webinar link so we had to create a new meeting. A few people e-mailed me to let me know they connected but only saw a blank screen. So, I’m very sorry about the issue. To make up for it, Tuesday night I’m hosting an encore webinar.

Anyway, enter your name and e-mail address below for the replay.

***************************************************
Enter your name and e-mail address here for access to the encore of our webinar on Government Funding Solutions for Investors and Developers. It happens Tuesday, February 23rd at 9:00 PM EST, 6:00 PM PT.


***************************************************

We covered a TON of the questions that everyone sent in during the registration, and some of mine, too.

Of note, Sean went over:
• Low Income Housing Tax Credits

• Section 8
• The effect of the economic stimulus bill on us investors
• What the foreclosure bill has done to the market
• How much government money is available to us
• Soft financing programs

Full Disclosure: While Sean covered some great content on the call and there is no charge for the webinar, he can’t possibly teach you everything you need to know in a 1 hour webinar. There is an offer at the end to get further training and support from Sean.
If you decide to purchase his program, my company will be compensated and you’ll be helping me feed our children. :)
Just need to let you know that.

Affordable Housing Demand at an All Time High

Posted by Marshall on January 25, 2010

Guest article written by: Sean Carpenter

Foreclosures, Foreclosures, Foreclosures. That is a very popular term these days and yet folks are queasy about the investment real estate market.

Where do homeowners go when they lose their house?

Market rate housing or subsidized housing?

Traditionally, people do not have anything upon foreclosure and market rents are staying high in competitive markets. This leaves the affordable market as a great source for former homeowners.

A recent Associated Press Article outlined this crisis but also warned of another pending crisis.

The value of tax credits – what us developers are often given by the government when doing large deals – is worthless.

Keep reading…

“The government knows there is a crisis” and are looking for ways to fix it.

In fact, as I have been saying quite frequently, the Stimulus Bill is actually providing for holders of tax credits through the tax credit exchange program.

This isn’t bad, this is good!

So instead of working your tail off to get the tax credits, then getting your award, you now may not need to seek a investors.

Why? Because they are buying the credits back!

It’s time to figure out what deals are working and how best to get that next deal structured. Look for areas hard hit by foreclosures and see if you can put a larger scale project together.

The tax credits come through and you can either search for an investor or seek government assistance.

Easy enough? Don’t forget your developer fee – yep, that’s cash at closing!

Sean Carpenter is the nation’s leading expert on Government Deal Funding for Real Estate Investors and Developers and has spent the last 12 years both consulting and getting funding for his own deals. I hosted a special webinar with Sean a few weeks ago. Currently, I have a replay of the webinar available. On the replay, you will find out about what’s involved in getting funding for your deals courtesy of Uncle Sam.

Enter your name and e-mail address below to reserve your spot for the webinar replay and find out more about what we covered. This is a very hot topic with all of the bail out money being thrown into the economy. The replay is available as soon as you verify your e-mail address. You will be able to watch it right away.

Your Team IS Your Deal

Posted by Marshall on January 23, 2010

By: Sean Carpenter

You have found your perfect deal. Now you are looking for a government grant or program to help you out.

This all requires a great team. Who is on your side?

My most common response to many who ask the question is that make sure you have a lawyer and accountant who know more than you.

Don’t get into a position where you need to educate your vendors.

Having a quality lawyer can get your deal closed that much quicker, while having a quality accountant can make sure your finances are in order.

A few questions for your potential staff:

Are you familiar with Government Financing?
Have you closed any subsidized transactions?
Do you know anyone from the allocating agency?
At least 2 of the three questions should be “yes” and should help you to make an informed decision. You may also want to inquire about the program you are seeking as well.

Count it as a bonus question!

Sean Carpenter is the nation’s leading expert on Government Deal Funding for Real Estate Investors and Developers and has spent the last 12 years both consulting and getting funding for his own deals. I’ll be offering an encore webinar of a special interview with Sean coming up on Wednesday, February 24th at 9:00 PM EST, 6 PM PT where I’ll be asking him about what’s involved in getting funding for your deals courtesy of Uncle Sam.

Funding Options For Real Estate Investors

Posted by Marshall on October 16, 2009

One of the biggest issues most Real Estate investors are facing right now is with finding funding for their deals. What have your experiences been over the past year? Have you figured out a way to still make it happen.

Please leave some feedback on what you are doing to get deals done. Also, I’m working on finding a way to help you to get these deals done and will hopefully have a webinar over the next several weeks.

My favorite exit strategy right now is to sell properties to owner occupants below full market value. However, this presents a challenge if you are purchasing and trying to quickly turn the property over. (There is nothing wrong with doing this as long as the value of the property will support the price you sell it at. Do not sell your properties for more than they are worth. You are setting someone up for failure if you do this.)

If you have a property you have held for 90+ days, your options are much more open. However, if you are still trying to rehab and then sell to a retail buyer, you have some challenges in this market. Some lenders are requiring you hold the property for a minimum of 30 days and FHA is requiring at least 90 days of title seasoning (you, the seller needs to be on title for 90 days before reselling to an FHA buyer). Do you have the funds to hold this long if rehabbing or doing short sales? I have found a solution to this problem. Let me know if you want more details.

Here is a list of many of your options.
(This list is not a comprehensive list of ways to finance a home and you can use combinations of different methods as well).

1) Use your own cash
2) Use your own credit
3) Use someone else’s cash
4) Use someone else’s credit. (No not identity theft type stuff, credit partners).
5) Find your own sugar daddy to fund (LOL)
6) Use retirement funds from a self directed IRA account. Now this is a really cool way to do things but there are some very specific rules you MUST follow or get pummeled by the IRS.
7) Use someone else’s retirement funds and pay them a fixed rate on a note secured by a mortgage on the property. (This is one of my favorite ways to do this but again, you need to know the rules, and there are many)
8.) Get the owner to hold the financing until you can resell.
9) Find a BIG money 50/50 partner. Now this is great if you can find someone or a company/institution that will do it. This is definitely a more expensive option than some of the others, but what if you could do 3 deals instead of 1 per month and still make the same amount per deal because you could move quickly?

You see, success loves speed. Your most important quality in business and investing is speed of implementation. If you act slowly, someone else is going to beat you to it. That’s why it is important to have ready access to funding for your deals.

I’m going to elaborate on these topics over the next few weeks. If you want to stay on top of this or would like more information about one of these methods in particular, let me know. I have tons of material to help you out.

-MM

P.S. Sign up for our membership site below so you will be notified when I have a new post and when we have our next webinar. You don’t want to miss these webinars, you will learn a ton of great information on them that you can begin implementing right away. Some of the webinars will have something to buy at the end, but they ALWAYS have extremely valuable free info.
