Rapid Real Estate Investing Results

If you do a property launch the right way, you will build your buyers list by 100-300 buyers per launch or more.  These are buyers that are VERY interested in the type of property you have to offer.

Not only that, then you have a list of buyers you can show other properties to.

This is a way to stack your property sales one on top of the other.

You have to do this the right way though for it to work correctly.

I have done several of these on my houses over the last year and it really does work.

If you would like to hear all about how the property launch formula works, you need to check this video out.  It’s available as soon as you register for the webinar that we are holding on Monday.

Go to this link right now to learn all about how to build your buyers list fast, sell your property fast and get top dollar for it while doing so.

The other real estate investors and real estate agents in your area will be left confused and not knowing what just happened right under their noses.

If you are in real estate in any capacity, you do not want to miss this video and webinar.

Well, if you read my post from early Friday, you will see I was shocked to find that the FDIC closed a bank on Thursday.

I honestly have not seen that happen since I started tracking the bank closings more than a year and a half ago.
Well, there might have been a couple, but it would only be caused by a Friday holiday, and then I don’t even remember if there was one.

So, I half expected there to be either a really big bank closing Friday with a few billion $ in assets, but there were 3 smaller banks that were closed.

Nevertheless, we have now totaled 30 bank closing on the year and it is very early folks.
At this rate, we will definitely beat last year’s total of 140 bank closings.

If you want to see the list, just search for “FDIC failed bank list”
You will likely see the link at the very top of the rankings on your favorite search engine.
They have the list since 2000 right there.

Keep an eye on these closings.
If I were you, I would look to see if any have occurred somewhat near your farm area where you buy and contact the acquiring bank.
Let them know you are interested in their REO properties.
Sometimes you will be able to get direct access before they turn them over to a realtor.
It just depends on how motivated the bank is to get rid of them.

Anyway, happy and profitable investing.

By the way, do you want to see what the only niche I know of in real estate investing that over the past 2 years has actually increased in value?
It’s crazy too, around 30%.

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!

Guest article written By: Sean Carpenter

Are you finding deals are getting tougher to close with the new restrictions banks are pushing on applicants?

Is it taking longer to get a deal done? Have you stopped looking for new projects to acquire?

The last year has been a very difficult period in real estate history. Some markets have declined upwards of 50% in value with no light at the end of the tunnel. Not very good news if you started your “buy and hold” in 2007, but will certainly work better for you now in 2010 as you pick properties up for a fraction of their price two years ago.

Not to mention cap rates are heading into the two digits in larger metropolitan areas. For some, this is an area of the market they have never experienced.

So what can we do to get some of these declining assets?

The banks that were lending up to 125% a few years back have either left the market or cap an acquisition at 70% loan to value. The remaining 30% is up to the investor. But raising the 30% slows down transactions and your friends in Congress have attempted to help.

In July 2008, the President signed the Housing & Economic Recovery Act (HERA), which among other things, provided $4.5B to all 50 states, some territories like Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, and the District of Columbia, to combat neighborhood declination by foreclosure.

These funds, known as the Neighborhood Stabilization program, were supposed to help investors, both for and non-profits, buy and rehabilitate foreclosed buildings in order to prevent the stable households from losing too much value. In February 2009, Congress added an additional $4.5B to the program, now known as NSP II, to further carry out the NSP mission.

This is nothing new. The federal government has been investing in real estate for years, at least since HUD was conceived during the Johnson administration in 1965 as part of the Great Society initiative.

HUD allocates through the individual States and territories upwards of $20B per year to facilitate economic development and housing activities. Additionally, many states have programs of their own that can match federal funds in addition to over $5B in tax credit programs available to stimulate acquisition, rehabilitation and new construction of real estate projects.

Buying and holding certainly isn’t what it used to be, but now the government wants to help you out more than ever. You just have to know WHERE to find the money and HOW to get the funds.

This is great news!
While I’m not an attorney, the legal speak in the pdf below tells me that FHA is now going to allow a buyer using FHA financing to purchase it even if the seller has not been on title for a minimum of 90 days.

http://www.hud.gov/offices/hsg/sfh/waivpropflip2010.pdf

The 90 day seasoning rule was instituted to try to keep “Illegal flips” from occuring. I have “illegal” in quotes because it is only illegal if someone is committing fraud by getting an appraiser to appraise the property for MUCH higher than the real value of the property.

This is totally illegal and I’m pretty sure you can be put in jail for that. Again, I’m not an attorney so don’t take my word for that.

However, the way most of these transactions are happening is this. An investor purchases a property either from a bank or from a homeowner in distress at a substantial discount because of the distressed situation.

Banks do NOT want to spend money to fix up foreclosed homes.

Homeowners that are having trouble making house payments do not want to make repairs either. They are struggling just to pay their bills.

Why would they continue to repair a home they are likely going to lose in foreclosure anyway?

So these properties NEED an investor buyer to step in and buy the home and rehab the home back to move-in ready condition.

Well, in these times of tight credit, it’s next to IMPOSSIBLE to get a decent rate on a long term loan for an investor. So, rather than holding the property as a rental, the investor fixes up the home using high interest loans.

The investor then turns around the property and finds an end buyer that wants to live there. Typically, the end buyer still gets a really good deal on now an updated home rather than a distressed property.

Well, when FHA decided to implement the 90 seasoning rule, that eliminated a TON of buyers, especially first time home buyers that typically rely on FHA programs to get in with low down payments.

They don’t typically have extra money to fix up a home.

So, I welcome this change for everyone involved. It is going to speed up the acquisition of these distressed properties because now the investor will have an easier time finding a buyer.

What do you think of this plan?

Most everyone thinks that there is NO WAY to get a “No Money Down” loan.
Well, there are still a few programs out there that offer either low down payments or in the case of the USDA rural development program, no money down.

If you are an investor, you can’t use these loans to purchase investment property, however, if you have a property you need to sell, this is a great way to open it up to more buyers.

Check with your local lender to find out if the home qualifies. It must be located in a “Rural” area as defined by the USDA.

There are several requirements that a buyer needs to meet including income limits and total debt limits, but this is a great program to help more people afford a home.

http://www.rurdev.usda.gov/rd/pubs/pa1501.pdf

Check out the requirements at the link above. Be patient, it is a slow download because the PDF is filled with several pictures. You may be able to find out if your property is eligible by visiting the link below, but you should also verify with a local lender or your local USDA field office.

http://eligibility.sc.egov.usda.gov

http://www.rurdev.usda.gov/rd/pubs/pa1501.pdf

The loans are attractive to lenders because the government is guaranteeing them. In fact, the Freddie Mac website even has a description of the program to encourage lenders to offer the program. See their description below.

Kick off 2010 with a bang by learning this program.
