📢👀Which Is Better? A Foreclosure or Short Sale of Your New Jersey House?🏡

By Cardwell Thaxton

We all have rough times every now and again. As a property owner, having a rough time may mean losing the biggest investment of your life: your New Jersey house. If you are unable to make your mortgage and insurance payments, you are about to be facing foreclosure with your lender if you miss a certain number of payments; this all depends on your mortgage document.

Foreclosures Happen To The Best Of Us

In most cases, the foreclosure process will not begin until you have missed between 3-6 payments. First of all, it is important to understand that foreclosure is a process. The first step is called pre-foreclosure. This means that the property is in default and the bank may or may not foreclose on the property. The second step is a short sale. This is where the owner is trying to sell the property before the bank forecloses, but the market value is a little short of their balance due on the loan. Depending on the bank, they may or may not accept offers less than the balance due at this point. If the owner can get the bank to short sell, it is much better for their credit. The third step is the foreclosure auction. This is when the bank is trying to get the most money for the property in a short amount of time. The fourth step is an REO, which stands for “Real Estate Owned”. If the property does not sell at auction, the bank then repossesses the property and places it on the market for sale. 

Based on the process outlined above, “foreclosure” is the bank taking title or “possession” of your New Jersey house. This would impact your credit score and would also show up in any reports that future landlords would run. The foreclosure stays on your credit for at least 7 years before falling off, sometimes 10 years. Depending on your situation, you may have more time to live in your home if you let it go to foreclosure because of the statutory redemption period. This time frame depends on whether you took title via mortgage or deed of trust. If you have a mortgage, then the process may take as quick as 30 days, or as long as 2 years. At the end of the redemption period, if you have not reinstated your loan and are still not able to make your payments, then you really have to move out. If you took title through a deed of trust, there is typically no statutory redemption period, and you have to move out immediately.

Is A Short Sale Really The Answer?

During the foreclosure process as described above, you have the opportunity to list your New Jersey house as a short sale. The best time for a short sale is the time period when you realize you are unable to make your payments as outlined in your loan agreement, and before the lender files legal action against you and officially owns your house. You will be able to list your house on the market and try to get an offer that will satisfy the balance of your loan or get really close to it. This might be a difficult process because you will have to be in constant communication with the lender about the offers you receive and will have to wait for them to approve or counter offer the offers you receive. If you do have an offer that the bank is willing to accept, selling your house to that buyer would relieve you of some of the credit damage of having a foreclosure, although it would still negatively affect your credit. 

The best option would be to avoid the foreclosure process altogether and negotiate a sale of your property before you get to the point of missing payments on your loan.

Flip Real Estate Virtually with Paul Lizell & Jay Conner

Jay Conner

00:02:57

My guest is a good friend. We’re in a mastermind together. Well, he is the founder of The Virtual Investor. That’s right. He is a virtual investor and virtual wholesaler. He’s been flipping properties all the way back since 2001. And he actually is the original virtual wholesaler. And he’s purchased all over the US since 2009 virtually. In addition to that, my guest has bought and sold properties in 44 out of 50 states and continues to look at expanding into new markets. Now, in addition to that, he contributes his success to utilizing systems and processes that simplify the online buying process. He’s focused exclusively on online auctions bank REOs, buying off of the MLS, and wholesalers across the country since 2013. I’m so excited to have my friend and fellow mastermind member, Paul Lizell. Paul, welcome to the podcast.

Paul Lizell

00:04:32

Thanks for having me, man. I really appreciate it.

Jay Conner

00:04:34

Absolutely. I’m excited to have you on here, Paul. And of course, we’re going to be seeing each other again here pretty soon at one of our upcoming mastermind meetings. And today we want to hear all about what it’s like to be a virtual wholesaler. What in the world does that mean? And what’s that process look like? But before you get started on all that, tell us, how’d you get into real estate?

Paul Lizell

00:04:58

Interesting story. So let’s go back to the 1990s when I was in college. I was working for my uncle who’s a general contractor and he bought a quadplex, a 4-unit building. We fixed it up, renovated it. He turned around and rented it out. He was making pretty good profits on this property, too, and still had a lot of equity in it. So that kind of stoked my interest in real estate. And that point on, after he bought a few more and we renovated them and I was going through college, I decided this is something I got to get into. It’s gotta be my long-term goal. So I did and basically in 2001, I started my first property. Unlike his, it was a fix and flip. I got into that so I could build up some cash. Eventually, I did build up, got some rentals as well, but stuck with the wholesaling, the fix and flip game owner-finance game, and I’d been doing that ever since.

Jay Conner

00:05:46

That’s awesome. So, were you doing fix and flips a while before you started doing wholesaling? Or were you doing wholesaling and fixing flips simultaneously, like right out the gate?

Paul Lizell

00:05:59

Well, I really started in the fix and flip game and then when I had too many flip deals going on, I did a couple of wholesale deals. And I started to realize it was kind of easy doing these wholesale deals. So after the crash of 2008, 2009, when all the marketing was just tanking, and you probably remember that well, I’m sure, I decided, all right, let’s go more to the wholesale game and turn them and burn them, and we did that. And we still did fix and flips, don’t get me wrong. We kept those good deals, did fix and flips on them, kept some good deals, rentals, some owner-financing, but we basically became virtual wholesalers at that point. We started expanding. We started in Pennsylvania where I was originally from. I just moved here to Florida this past month, but originally I’m from about 45 minutes north of Philadelphia. And so I started in that market, expanded out, went to Pittsburgh, New Jersey, Delaware, Ohio, Indiana, the Carolinas, which I love and where you’re from. And then I started going down to Florida, Texas, before you know it, I bought and sold in 44 to 50 states.

Jay Conner

00:06:57

First of all, let’s make sure everybody understands what we’re talking about when we say wholesale a deal. There’s more than one way to wholesale a deal. So, what’s your definition of wholesaling? And what’s that look like?

Paul Lizell

00:07:11

So for most people, they think wholesaling is getting a property under contract from a seller and assigning that contract and collecting assignment fee. So for us buying bank-owned properties, and we do a few of those, don’t get me wrong. We do a few of those deals, we get some of those referrals. But, primarily, what we do with auction properties or bank-owned or HUD properties, we have to buy them, take them down and then resell them. So, it’s a wholesale, it’s just we actually have to take down the property. So we do need the funds to be able to purchase it, whether we use transactional funding, private lending, as you’re great at, at raising money, we do as well. We love the raising money game and using private lending for that. But yeah, it’s kind of the same deal as it is with assignment of contract, it’s  just we actually take it down so we show ownership at one point.

Jay Conner

00:07:59

So, what’s the advantage of actually buying the house instead of getting it under contract and then collecting an assignment fee?

Paul Lizell

00:08:09

You know in certain states there’s been a crackdown, I think Tennessee and Illinois have had a crackdown on wholesalers where they’re making them become licensed realtors. So I think this kind of negates that because you’re actually purchasing the property, right? You’re showing you have the vested interest, not just the vested interest or equitable interest, you actually purchased it and took it down. So you have the right to do what you want to afterwards, and nothing can come back. So from a legal standpoint, we’re probably the safest and best. I am licensed in Pennsylvania. I probably will get licensed in Florida. And occasionally we’ll do some of those assignment deals, but for the most part, we just take them down, resell them. And in this market, as you know, wholetailing has been unbelievable, just getting the property in decent enough shape to be mortgageable reselling it, not sitting on it for 6, 7 months while the rehab is getting done, while the showings are going on. It’s much quicker, you’re in and out 30 days at the most, and you’re hopefully selling it in 30 to 45 days in this market right now.

So, it’s been much quicker and better.

Jay Conner

00:09:08

Right. So the reason you actually buy the house and take ownership of it is, that way, regardless of where you’re doing business, you don’t have to worry about there being issues with just collecting an assignment fee. Am I hearing you right on that?

Paul Lizell

00:09:27

Yeah, absolutely. I mean, we would prefer to do it without having to have all the cash and buy it, but the banks don’t allow you. So if you buy a property from the bank, you can’t just assign it to another buyer, you must take it down in your name and you can do things with it. We’ve done things in trust. You know trusts are great. But the problem with that is, unless it’s an investor that’s a buyer investor, that trusts in you and understands what you’re doing, that they know what you’re doing, they usually don’t want to buy your trust, or if you put it in an LLC and sell them that LLC, they don’t usually want to buy it. And I totally understand that, they’re going to want to put it in their own name. We’ve run into that in the past with Fannie Mae. Fannie Mae had that anti-flipping where you couldn’t sell it for more than 20% of what you paid for. I think it was 90 days after the deed was recorded, not when you purchased, but when the deed was recorded. So with those properties, it either had to do something off the HUD, or we just had to wait those 90 days and then just sell it to them at that point, which has other risks. But, overall, if you’re making profits, I’m alright with that.

Jay Conner

00:10:26

There you go. So when you’re buying the houses in today’s market, are you primarily selling them to other real estate investors at a profit? Or are you selling them to people that are actually going to move in and own the home themselves and live in it?

Paul Lizell

00:10:44

In this market, we’ve done more to end-buyers. More people are going to live there than in the past. Typically, we sell to other investors for the most part, but in this market, the way it’s been and the kind of properties that we targeted, we’ve kind of pivoted and go on into less of the trainwreck properties, the ones that need everything and more to the ones that just need a little bit enhancing to get it back to become mortgageable and then resell them. So we’ve kind of pivoted a little bit just in this market to try to take advantage of what’s there. Go after the low-lying fruit rather than everything else.

Jay Conner

00:11:14

I got it. I know it’s going to depend on the market. I mean, you’re in all kinds of markets all over the nation, but what kind of profits are you seeing in today’s market doing the business the way you do it?

Paul Lizell

00:11:26

So our wholesale profits are generally around $12,000 per deal, and that’s your standard wholesale. If we’re wholetailing it, we’re around $32,000 and the full-scale fix and flip we’re into anywhere from probably close to your number, the $67,000, but we’ve had plenty of that have been $80,000, $100,000, even $120,000, especially in this market over the past year. So it’s been nice, but those are your full-scale rehabs. And those were the home runs, obviously, they’re not your average.

Jay Conner

00:11:55

Right. And we’ve already said it, but I want to make sure our audience understands it. Tell everybody what wholetailing is versus wholesaling.

Paul Lizell

00:12:05

Yeah, great point. So wholetailing is more or less where you’re getting a property and it just needs some paint, some carpet, it doesn’t need a full kitchen gut. Maybe you just repaint the cabinets. Maybe you put new cabinet poles on them, or maybe put countertops on them. With bathrooms, you’re okay with them but maybe you just put a new toilet in, or a new vanity or even easier sometimes, just a new faucet on a sink. And then you’re reworking your painting and carpeting. Usually, you don’t have to do roof siding, windows, things like that. So wholetailing has really just been super profitable. It’s more so than the fix and flip, believe it or not, for us. When you look at it from a time standpoint, we’re selling those so quickly, as quickly as our full-scale fix and flip, but we’re putting less effort in, and our holding costs are so much lower. It’s been worthwhile for us and less management of contractors because it can be one of the most difficult, taxing things in this business.

Jay Conner

00:13:00

Do you think that wholetailing, or in other words, “not doing a full rehab,” but you just make it okay and nicer? Do you think wholetailing is so much more popular now and working so well because there’s just no inventory?

Paul Lizell

00:13:16

That’s it. You hit the nail on the head with that, Jay. We go back to 2009 when I was doing fix and flips. If I didn’t do a full-scale, redo everything, you didn’t have that many buyers interested in the property unless it was the first-time home buyer. But as the market has gotten hotter and hotter and has lesser and lesser inventory, people are being less picky figuring they’ll do some of the work themselves. So it’s really just kind of taking what the market gives you. We follow it in our business. We follow the “Keep it simple, stupid” theory, and I think that’s the best thing to do in any business. Whatever the market is giving you, take that, right? If you don’t need to do the full-scale rehab, don’t, unless it’s going to warrant you getting an additional $50,000 or $60,000 where it becomes worthwhile, just take what the market gives you.

Jay Conner

00:13:56

Yeah. So how do you determine how to price? Like if you’re wholetailing a house to an end-buyer, what’s your criteria for pricing that home at the stage you got it in versus a complete rehab?

Paul Lizell

00:14:15

So basically what we do now with the wholetailing, we’re discounting it at 10-15% off what the normal end, full-scale rehab would be, which is still giving some equity to the buyer, should they want to do something there. And still it makes them fly off the shelves, I tell you, they don’t last very long when you’re just doing the basics and people see it’s clean and easy. I can change the carpet. I can change the paint color or whatever, I can do this or that. So people aren’t as picky as they used to be because there’s just no inventory. It’s hard to be picky. You take what’s there, basically, more or less.

Jay Conner

00:14:50

So in this market, as long as it’s clean and it smells good, if it’s dated, that’s okay, right?

Paul Lizell

00:15:03

Yes, dated, okay. You go do the ’80s, ’90s style. People can live with that as long as things aren’t broken, right? As long as you don’t have holes in the roof and things like that. Roofing is definitely a big issue, HVAC system for people. We just did one in Laurinburg, North Carolina, and unfortunately it did need a new HVAC system, so we did install that. We’re still gonna do pretty well. His property is still gonna net around $32,000, even though we had to do the roof and the HVAC system and the rest of it was a wholetail.

Jay Conner

00:15:32

Gotcha. So when you’re wholetailing to an end-user, are you finding the buyer by listing it with a real estate agent in the MLS?

Paul Lizell

00:15:42

We are. So, 90% of the time we do that. And occasionally like we did in one in Charleston, Tennessee, which is a very rural area, I had my disposition manager reach out to a bunch of agents in that area to just let them know we have a property and we offered them 2% commission. And the only thing we had to do was put it in a hot water heater in that one. That was literally it.

Jay Conner

00:16:05

That’s amazing. So first of all, to be virtually wholesaling, you have to find these deals and there ain’t no inventory to speak of. So everybody wants to know, well, if there isn’t any inventory, how in the world are you finding the deals?

Paul Lizell

00:16:27

Well, we got a little bit of an advantage over a lot of other people in the market. Most real estate investors out there stick with certain territories, maybe one or two markets out there. Occasionally somebody does three or four, but for us, the whole country is our oyster, really. That’s what we look at. We got inventory anywhere. We have preferred states where we’d like to do business, don’t get me wrong, but if there’s a great deal in another state where we don’t typically do business, we will go there. Just to give you an example, we’ve done 5 deals in New Mexico this year. We hadn’t done a deal in New Mexico in I think the previous 6 years before that, so we just kind of take what the market gives you. If there’s a deal there, we’ll take it. And we also hit those tertiary markets, and the second-tier markets that if you’re looking at a town or a city like Charlotte, go an hour outside, like a town like Kannapolis, Gastonia, and then go another hour outside that loop there. And then you’re in like a third-tier market. We target those markets because people do want to live there, especially now with what’s going on with the pandemic and everything. People are looking to be more and more rural. So it kind of fits right into what we’ve done all these years, which is a big advantage for us.

Jay Conner

00:17:33

Right! So how do you get the leads?

Paul Lizell

00:17:35

So for us, it’s our own time. So we pay no marketing fees, right? We don’t have any marketing costs whatsoever. I had turned off the direct mail marketing in 2013 and I just buy exclusively off of these auctions. For me, it’s really looking at what’s on the auction sites right now. We use VAs. We have several VAs that do this for each different auction site, whether it’s Auction.com, Xome, the Hudson & Marshall, Hubzu, Realty Bid, Auction Network, HUD Home Store, Fannie and Freddie. We have them go through and they do what I call “First-level fig.” They look at it and we give them the criteria of what we look out for – square footage, repair amount – and then they’ll send me a spreadsheet on Excel. Yes, yes, no, no, no. So, let’s say there’s 250 properties on this particular auction that’s coming up.

We might weed that down to about 20 to 25 that we’ll actually bid on. And then as the bidding process goes, if we’re getting out there and we just let those go off and again, we pick the low-lying fruit there. We’re not going to get into a bidding war. Today, for example, there’s a property in Florida that was in Sarasota, which is a red-hot market. It’s a nice market. My maximum allowable offer is 141 because there’s a buyer’s premium on this property. So the most I would spend was 150 because the ARV was 350 tops. This thing ends up getting bid up to 203 with a buyer’s premium. It was over 210 that that person is purchasing a property for, plus it needed everything. This thing needed at least 125 and work. So basically whoever bought this is probably an end-buyer, but they’re going to be upside down when all is said and done. So we fall off that, we have our maximum viable offers that will go up to, and you can’t get emotional with it, right? That’s a nice market. I would have liked to have been in there, but it didn’t fit our criteria. So I let it go.

Paul, in case we’ve got some listeners that need to leave the show a little early, go ahead and let folks know how they can get in contact with you and continue the conversation.

Paul Lizell

00:19:38

Sure, absolutely. So we have a couple of different websites. www.REOAuctionAcademy.com is one of them. And also FlipRealEstateVirtually.com is another one. Both URLs work. You can contact us, and if you want to learn more about our coaching program, which we teach people how to do exactly what we do. As a matter of fact, we teach a lot of other investors who do direct mail, postcards, and PPC. They want to learn this aspect of the business. They actually hire somebody or have somebody who doesn’t have as much going on and let them handle this whole new arm of the business for them.

Jay Conner

00:20:13

Again, those 2 websites are REOAuctionAcademy.com, and the other one is FlipRealEstateVirtually.com. All right, so you got the leads coming in. You got your VAs researching all the houses that are coming up on all these different auction sites. How in the world do you have boots on the ground, eyes on the ground, in all these different markets, taking a look at these houses to even know what a close estimation of repairs would be that you need to do? Because, obviously, you don’t want to bid on a property until you know what kind of repairs you’re looking at.

Paul Lizell

00:21:02

Absolutely. And this is one of the most important things. So how you develop these kinds of relationships and these relationships end up blossoming and give you more deals throughout the years. I’ll give you an example of it. So in Tucson, Arizona, there was an REO agent who I bought a bunch of properties through over the years from 2010, all the way through now, we still currently do. Basically, he saw I was a serious player in Tucson, Arizona. We wholesaled a bunch of them. And then he was starting to bring me deals and bring me leads and bring me properties. So he was my boots on the ground. And how that started was I just reached out to him initially after I was bidding on some properties, and this is what you need to do if you’re entering any new market, you need to contact the realtor or the REO agent for that property.

If it’s a bank-owned property, get some details. You’re trying to get the BPO, which is the “Broker’s Price Opinion” of the property. And if you can get that, that’ll tell you basically what they think the “as is value” is, the 30-day sale price, the 90-day sale price,  the 120-day sale price. And they’ll show comps on there, and that’s like, that’s gold. That’s gold when you get that. So you utilize them for that. You also try to get additional pictures from them. And then you’re trying to get what kind of repairs are needed because they generally know, again, the utilities usually aren’t on, but they know what repairs were needed. They know if the roof’s leaking, they know if the air conditioner or heater looks really bad and it looks like it needs replacing, the hot water heater. They’ll tell you if the kitchen needs to be replaced. And the best referrals I get for contractors, hands down, is from these agents.

And the big reason is these contractors who work for these agents get referrals and they get a lot of referrals. So they do not want to screw over these agents when they’re giving them, basically, free marketing. So the guys that we’ve used from all the agent referrals have all been good, and I’m going to knock on wood when I say that, the ones that I run into that have been bad are ones that I picked on my own. I’ve also gotten great ones, but the best referrals from people who are there, who have boots on our ground and have local people, you know how to do those repairs. So we relied big time on the agents on these properties. If there is no agent, we use a company called BPO Photo Flow that’ll go out there and take some pictures of the property.

And if we have a lockbox, they can usually get inside, take more pictures. And we kind of tell them what to look for, like take pictures of the exterior, make sure there’s no cracks in the foundation, take a picture of the basement, the systems, make sure the HVACs are right, hot water heater, kitchens and bathrooms are important. You know, anything that they noticed cracks or issues with flooring, whatever, anything off-level. We want to know that kind of thing. If there’s moisture in the basement, just so we know what we’re in for an aid, generally do a pretty good job and they’re fairly inexpensive to utilize.

Jay Conner

00:23:49

And what’s the name of that service? One more time.

Paul Lizell

00:23:54

It’s BPO Photo Flow, like “Broker’s Price Opinion.” BPOPhotoFlow.com. And they do a really good job. They’re not in every market, so sometimes we actually have to reach out to other local agents and send them out there. And then we just pay them basically more or less to go out there and take some pictures for us and then tell them if we buy it, we’re going to list it through you. We do offer that. And if we do buy, we do end up listing it with them or having them help us sell the property if they know some investors.

Jay Conner

00:24:20

So these REO real estate agents, also known as bank-owned real estate agents, have the listing for these properties that are going up for auction. So obviously if you buy it, you don’t have to pay them anything for the purchase because the bank, the REO, is paying their commission. But do you compensate these agents in any additional way other than when you make a purchase, the bank pays them?

Paul Lizell

00:24:46

We do at times, like if we know they’re going to be doing above and beyond, and they’re not going to get the listing, we will definitely pay them. We’ll say, “What do you want for this? Or what free one for that service?” They usually are very, very fair with the prices and we’re glad to do it. We just Venmo them most of the time. I’ve never really run into any issues with that. Most of the time, they’re really happy to just hand the listing for you. I even have thought of them managing my rehabs for me because they know the contractors, they kind of manage, oversee, and take pictures. They’re happy to go do that. They see the progress and they want it listed so that they can get their permission when all is said and done.

Jay Conner

00:25:21

Awesome. And how do you find these REO agents? I suppose one way you could find them is, well, your VAs are looking at auctions coming up. They go research the property and right there, they see who’s got the real estate listing on it. Right?

Paul Lizell

00:25:37

Absolutely. And you get a lot of these agents who will have 5, 10, 15, 20 different properties. And they’ll cover a huge geographical region, which is crazy. I mean, they’re running around all the time. Nobody works harder than an REO agent, that I can tell you. Those guys and gals, they work their butts off and they are good. Their numbers are so spot on. For example, on a property we had in Ohio a few years back, I was talking to the agent, “What do you think the value of this property is, as is?” And she’s like, it had to be somewhere between 17 and 20. Sure enough, we picked it up for like $7,500. We sold that for $17,500. She was just right on the money with it. And that happens time and time and time again, the only time, if you’re in with a newer agent, that’s where you want to be careful.

If it is a newer real estate agent, they’re not going to be as experienced. You’re going to want to try to lean on a secondary agent. Hopefully somebody that’s in one of these towns that has their own brokerage that’s been there for 10, 20 years and really knows the market. Well, those have been our best sources. Far and away, the people that are in small mom & pop shops, they just know the market. They know everybody in town. They usually know who lived in that property, especially if it’s a smaller town, like you live in, Jay, they know people, right? And they’ve been our greatest source all over every market that we’ve ever been in.

Jay Conner

00:26:55

Let’s say that you make a bid and you win the bid at the auction and all these auctions are online, right?

Paul Lizell

00:27:04

Yes. They’re all online.

Jay Conner

00:27:05

So you win the bid. So now you’re the winning bidder. On average, how long do you have before you get close? In addition to that, do you sometimes, or always get a home inspection before you take it down?

Paul Lizell

00:27:22

So, Jay, I’ll answer the first question first. 30 to 45 days usually is what you got, time-wise. Sometimes a little bit longer. If the title is a little cloudy or there’s past issues or where something wasn’t done right at the Sheriff’s sale. That’s the answer to the first question. The second one, we never get a home inspection. We’ll just send a contractor out there. I don’t have too much faith in the home inspection field, business, people. Most of these guys learn out of a book and never swung a hammer a day in their life. So the people I rely on are the contractors. I try to find general contractors that really know everything, as many aspects of it. And yeah, if they miss some stuff, sure, they’re gonna miss some stuff here and there, but they’re going to see the big stuff. And they’ve been a great source for me and are far less expensive because you’re just gonna pay $400 or $500 for these home inspections when I can send a guy out there for a hundred bucks to give me a pretty good inspection, you know.

Jay Conner

00:28:14

And again, as you said, you find these general contractors by referral from the bank-owned real estate agents, right?

Paul Lizell

00:28:21

Yup. And about 95% of the time, they don’t charge you a penny to go out there. They’re hoping to get the work.

Jay Conner

00:28:26

That’s fantastic. Well, this is a fantastic business model you’ve got, Paul. Any parting comments?

Paul Lizell

00:28:35

I love it. It’s a great business model. The one thing I really like about it is that I can turn a business on or off anytime I want, unlike the direct mail marketing or the PPC where you gotta be on those calls right away. On a PPC lead or direct mail, it’s constantly going. If I want to go on vacation, I shut down for 2 weeks or a month. If I want to go overseas, I can do that and just stop operations and start right back up when I get back. So I do love that. That is my favorite aspect of the business. I also don’t have to deal with home sellers 99% of the time. So those are 2 facets. I really like how it’s really simple. It’s not turnkey, but your time is your marketing costs, right? Your time and energy, which is your most valuable asset. Your time is all your costs involved.

Buying Houses: Types of Bargains to Find

To make a good profit in real estate, you must buy right. Check out all property types available to find the best transaction for your specific situation. Consider fixers, distressed sales, repossessions, multiple listings, for sale by owners, and vacant properties just wasting away.

Distressed Properties

Recognize the difference between a fixer and a distressed property. Distressed properties may be fixers or just unwanted houses. Divorce, job loss or transfer, death, financial difficulty, and other problems often force a sale for less than market value. Just because an owner's problem causes a distressed sale does not mean the house requires fixing.

REPOSSESSIONS

Although the repossession market seemed dried up last summer, houses are beginning to appear on foreclosed lists again. Lender Rob Kramarz with Nationwide Mortgage (https://www.webuylancasterhouses.com) says that this may be the beginning of another real estate investor boom.

Look for great bargain properties for sale by HUD, VA, Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, and Bank-REOs (acronym for real estate owned). Real estate agents try to discourage you from repos and switch you to multiple listed homes. Do not listen to negative remarks about how hard it is to find a good deal property. Find another agent. Even in the hot market at the time of this writing, when the average house sells in less than three weeks, we found two properties for at least forty thousand dollars under market value.

Paying a listing service to mail you lists of repossessed properties is a waste of money. Actually, by the time you get these lists, the houses are already sold. Many web sites listing foreclosures thrive on the web for no charge to you.

Take a flashlight with you to view a repossessed property. With no electrical service and boards covering windows, viewing dark rooms is tough. A good real estate agent will have her own flashlight, but you want to see what you want and not what she wants you to see.

HUD

In our area, new HUD listings post online late Thursday night or Friday morning. New "Daily's," homes previously sold which fell out of escrow, post Saturday morning. Properties not sold during the bid time stay listed as daily's. Bids, due by the following Tuesday at midnight, must be submitted by a real estate agent who has completed HUD registration. Don't waste your time using a Realtor who is not familiar with selling HUD homes. Any mistake causes the bid to be rejected. Don't use an agent who says you must bid way over minimum bid. Find an agent specializing in HUD homes who wants to work with you on your terms. Many bargain HUD homes do sell for far more than the minimum bid. Hold out for the one property which doesn't get way overbid. (I bid about $40,000 under minimum on our second home owner-occupant mountain cabin.)

We submit many bids and win enough to make it pay us well. HUD only allows one repo purchase as an owner-occupant every two years from the date of closing.

Rely on your gut instinct and don't let your real estate agent unduly influence you. It is not a difficult process for your agent to make a computer bid. You need an agent willing to make a few bids to get a successful bid. This is like winning a lottery, with the odds in your favor.

Bids must have a lender's loan commitment statement. Lenders unfamiliar with HUD requirements also waste your time. Any mistake causes you to lose the purchase. Not all lenders understand HUD's bid, finance, and purchase process.

When placing a HUD bid, raise your offering bid to cover some of your closing costs. This means you get HUD to pay your closing costs and save out-of-pocket expenses. Also, the higher sales price impacts the market comparable sales in your favor for sale later. Your purchase price influences the values of the market area. Keeping prices higher for active sales during your renovation time protects your investment potential.

Tips For Wholesaling Houses With Tenants

Many new investors expect to wholesale vacant homes when entering the business, yet quickly find that a lot of property is occupied today, even foreclosures and REOs. So how does this change the game and what tips can help those wholesalers navigate the process more profitably with tenants?

While many, especially new real estate investors, may find it easy to wholesale the sale of vacant homes, there are many advantages to flipping tenant-occupied property in this market.

First-time home buyers still make up a small percentage of the market in most areas and certainly do not provide a consistent amount and momentum that makes home sales to hungry investors hungry for rental units.

Assets that sell a house with tenants in San Diego already own eliminate speculative work for end investors and give them the confidence and benefits that come with an asset that is already providing a positive cash flow and return. This can help create higher profit margins and move homes faster.

Of course wholesale properties that have been seized require extra reasonable diligence and can come with a few challenges. First and foremost today it means finding out who is occupying the property and what the deal is.

In many cases today, even when a property has been foreclosed on and classified as a bank-owned REO over the years, previous owners are still seen living there. This is a big problem for investors. While this may not seem like much of a concern for those wholesale or flipping real estate deals, it does mean that no one else who is stuck in such a deal wants to be touched.

Before closing, make sure the property is free from previous owners and squatters or be prepared to stay with them indefinitely.

Even in the case of actual tenants, it is essential that the rent, the status of the rent and the deposit be properly verified. Never accept the seller's word for it, not even their agent or occupier. Official letters should be obtained from all units and statistics verified.

Place it on top when closing to ensure that all funds provided are proportionate and the appropriate amount has been transferred to the new owner. As a buyer or intermediary, keep in mind that the deposit is not a cash return at the time of closing due to credit and advance rent. Some are proud to walk away from the closing table with thousands of cash, but in fact what needs to be kept for a refundable deposit or forwarded to new buyers.

The buying-selling process can be very stressful and annoying for tenants, especially when there are multiple sales in a short period of time. Be friendly, be as transparent as possible, and make sure they understand the benefits so they don't get bogged down or block potential contracts.

Which Is Better? A Foreclosure or Short Sale of Your Mercer County House?

By Cardwell Thaxton

We all have rough times every now and again. As a property owner, having a rough time may mean losing the biggest investment of your life: your Mercer County house. If you are unable to make your mortgage and insurance payments, you are about to be facing foreclosure with your lender if you miss a certain amount of payments; this all depends on your mortgage document.

Foreclosures Happen To The Best Of Us

In most cases, the foreclosure process will not begin until you have missed between 3-6 payments. First of all, it is important to understand that foreclosure is a process. The first step is called pre-foreclosure. This means that the property is in default and the bank may or may not foreclose on the property. The second step is a short sale. This is where the owner is trying to sell the property before the bank forecloses, but the market value is a little short of their balance due on the loan. Depending on the bank, they may or may not accept offers less than the balance due at this point. If the owner can get the bank to short sell, it is much better for their credit. The third step is the foreclosure auction. This is when the bank is trying to get the most money for the property in a short amount of time. The fourth step is an REO, which stands for “Real Estate Owned”. If the property does not sell at auction, the bank then repossesses the property and places it on the market for sale. 

Based on the process outlined above, “foreclosure” is the bank taking title or “possession” of your Mercer County house. This would impact your credit score and would also show up in any reports that future landlords would run. The foreclosure stays on your credit for at least 7 years before falling off, sometimes 10 years. Depending on your situation, you may have more time to live in your home if you let it go to foreclosure because of the statutory redemption period. This time frame depends on whether you took title via mortgage or deed of trust. If you have a mortgage, then the process may take as quick as 30 days, or as long as 2 years. At the end of the redemption period, if you have not reinstated your loan and are still not able to make your payments, then you really have to move out. If you took title through a deed of trust, there is typically no statutory redemption period, and you have to move out immediately.

Is A Short Sale Really The Answer?

During the foreclosure process as described above, you have the opportunity to list your Mercer County house as a short sale. The best time for a short sale is the time period when you realize you are unable to make your payments as outlined in your loan agreement, and before the lender files legal action against you and officially owns your house. You will be able to list your house on the market and try to get an offer that will satisfy the balance of your loan or get really close to it. This might be a difficult process because you will have to be in constant communication with the lender about the offers you receive and will have to wait for them to approve or counter offer the offers you receive. If you do have an offer that the bank is willing to accept, selling your house to that buyer would relieve you of some of the credit damage of having a foreclosure, although it would still negatively affect your credit. 

The best option would be to avoid the foreclosure process altogether and negotiate a sale of your property before you get to the point of missing payments on your loan.

Contact Cardwell Thaxton today at 0908-456-1593 to see what options we could offer you so you wouldn’t have to decide which would be better, a foreclosure or short sale of your Mercer County house.

REO PROPERTIES ALWAYS A GOOD REAL ESTATE DEAL?

REO properties or real estate possessed properties have a place with a bank or another loaning organization. How does the establishment in the long run gain responsibility for properties? It starts after a borrower defaults on a home loan and his/her property gets dispossessed. The moneylender attempts to sell it by means of a short deal or at an open closeout to cover the obligation. On the off chance that this doesn't occur, nonetheless, the bank claims the property and attempts to sell it through traditional channels, for example, real estate postings and specialists.

The inquiry is, are REO properties a decent arrangement? It relies upon a great deal of elements, obviously. You should look at the cost, yet at different expenses and its capability to bring returns as a rental. Some real estate financial specialists manufacture fruitful portfolios from such properties, however this doesn't mean each REO is a decent real estate bargain.

In this article, we see how to analyze real estate bargains so as to make effective speculations. There are two steps to choosing whether or not a REO property is a decent arrangement. To start with, comprehend the overall upsides and downsides of purchasing this type of speculation property and gauge them against one another. At that point, take a gander at the quantities of the real estate bargain.

The Pros and Cons of Buying REO Properties

There are a couple of explicit things you should know before putting resources into REO properties.

Pros

Likely the best thing about bank REO properties is that they are normally sold underneath market esteem. This is on the grounds that the loan specialist that possesses them needs to recuperate however much of the obligation as could be expected and be finished with the property. They have no enthusiasm for making a benefit from the deal. They simply need to sell quick, which is an or more in the event that you need to finalize the negotiation at the earliest opportunity. So you may ask, are REO properties less expensive? Typically truly, contrasted with similar properties sold by private proprietors. However, there are a couple of downsides.

Cons

A dispossession takes around year and a half all things considered. During this time, the loaning organization ordinarily doesn't take generally excellent consideration of the property. They would prefer not to pay for property management or support since that implies significantly more costs on a terrible obligation property. This leaves REO properties beaten up pretty bad – they frequently look like deserted properties. So you should spend a ton on redesigns and updates despite the fact that the price tag is acceptable.

Another detriment of the REO market is that no one can really tell where a property may come up. On the off chance that you are searching for a speculation property available to be purchased near and dear – like the house nearby to rent out – it may never occur. You will probably need to contribute out of state. This isn't so awful in the event that you are set up to deal with a rental property remotely or to enlist a property supervisor to do it for you. Be that as it may, you must be adaptable about the property's area.

That is the reason purchasing REO properties can be a twofold edged blade. It is ideal to glance around and contrast with ensure you are meeting your own real estate contributing objectives.

The most effective method to Analyze REO Deals

Investment property analysis

The following stage to assess if REO properties are a decent arrangement is to do a venture property investigation. Mashvisor does it consequently for any property recorded in its commercial center or you can even transfer property from another site also.

The speculation property calculator quantifies the arrival on venture dependent on the value, contract subtleties, loan cost, and charges. It utilizes verifiable data to gauge as precisely as possible the support, protection, HOA charges, and different expenses to give you the full picture. Also, you can info and play around with the expense of fixes you intend to complete as "one-time startup costs" to see how this would impact profitability.

On head of that, the calculator shows you a rental strategy investigation so you can see which type of renting – traditional versus Airbnb is more suitable for this specific REO property. It shows what rental income, money on money return, and top rate you can anticipate. On account of real estate comps (data from similar rental properties), it can disclose to you the occupancy rate also.

Recipe For a Successful Real Estate Investment

There are a few wants that house buyers perceive as needs when shopping around for a house. As you're looking for your next home, you might have no idea how long you'll live there because you might need to sell sooner or later. With that in mind, consider some practical attributes potential home buyers look for when buying their next home. 

That way yours will be set for quick sale if or when you decide to place it to the market later on. As you progressed into other houses, however, it likely became more evident that certain offerings in a house are basic to your family's needs. Functions such as air conditioning, a cellar, a back yard/fenced lawn are often aspects that buyers searching for their next home need. 

Other basics you will want included in your next home purchase are a newer roof and central heating and air system. Bypass a house with any system over 15 years old, unless it is a deal and you can afford to upgrade. Even though ten years will do, five years or less is the perfect, which will help mitigate discussions from the upcoming sale of your dwelling. 

Stellar Storage Do not know if you've noticed it, but buyers enjoy their storage space. That includes a dual - or triple-car garage, walk-in master closets and extra storage areas - the storage the better. If your next home does not have plenty of storage space, but fulfills the different demands of your loved ones, build a large shed in the backyard. 

That may suffice for additional storage needed by the upcoming buyers of your own home; although, attics are also changed into living room and storage. Green Living If you are going to be building your next home, rather than purchasing an existing one, consider home builders that build green. Eco-friendly trends receive high marks from nearly half of the country's consumers shopping for their next home. 

There are green products which may be used to construct the structure of the house. Central heating and air units arrive in conservative models that restrict emissions. Solar panels absorb energy and translate it into energy to be used in the house. 

Energy efficiency is the order of the day, and the trend appears to be taking off. Location, Location, Location Sorry, someone had to mention it. Although living beside a railroad tracks might not bother you, it isn't the ideal for many of the home buyers. Does the house sit on a four-lane busy city street or back up against businesses? 

Does the neighborhood consist largely of neighbors, or are there mostly younger households residing there? Are there any huge power lines or airports in the immediate area? These are some of the questions you will want to ask while looking for your next home.

 Consider security, neighborhood amenities and close proximity to schools and local parks. A family often has different demands than seniors or one person in regards to services offered in the immediate location of a house. Ask your realtor queries about accessible services, the market of the neighborhood and local amenities.

Learn from your realtor what the most sought-after features are in the housing market in which you're shopping. Always consider resale when purchasing your next house, and research the area. Do it efficiently, and you will set the stage for a recipe for a successful property investment.

Where to Start Your Real Estate Business in 2009?

Especially in today's market? Can anyone actually make money in real estate now? Well, the response to these questions is. . .it depends. If you get the item and like 80 percent of those buyers never open it, rather than put it to use, I have terrible news for you - it won't take you any closer to wealth or retirement. Sorry, but that is the reality. 

However, if you purchase it, study it and this is the important one - execute it, then yes, you can certainly improve your cash flow and wealth. The implement it part is the hard one for many. There are a lot of things that hold people back from taking that next step and putting things into action - panic, lack of money, time restraints, natural tendency to make excuses and procrastinate, lack of confidence, and the list continues on and on. 

However, in case you REALLY need to take action and begin working towards achieving your dreams there are some things you can do to help ensure success on the way. 

1) Have a business plan. It does not have to be long and complex but make some decisions on how you are going to earn money in your business. Are you really going to wholesale properties to other investors; are you going to rehabilitation? What is the typical price range you will work in? What markets are you going to go after - REO's, pre-foreclosures, etc.? Define a few of the basics so you've got a starting action program. In our training program the first thing we do with people is help them define their business model. This requires a little knowledge of your market and what is and isn't working at the moment. If you're considering holding properties do you've got money to pay for the inevitable vacancies? 

2) Define Your Dreams. Regardless of what you see on t.v. this is not simple money. They are good times and bad, the same as any business. There'll be days when you'll have to fall back on why on earth you are doing this. Know your reasons. Have them clearly defined, written, and perhaps even pictures. I look at it every single day. It reminds me of the important things in my life and why I do what I do. Studies have proven that written goals are 80 percent more likely to be attained than non written goals - write them down! 

3) Plan for achievement but prepare for hard times. What I mean by this is that I believe in positive thinking and living your life"like" you have the things you need and are doing the things you would like. But it's also important to get ready for the"what if's." Although you can purchase property all day long with no money down, it does not mean it doesn't require any cash. Even if someone offers you a home today, there's fix up and holding costs, marketing expenses, and a lot of other little things that creep up. Be ready for the what-if's, but do not let them prevent you from moving ahead. 

4) Know Where The Money Is. Unless your sole business model is wholesaling you are going to want some money. Start lining up private creditors and cash partners once it is possible to talk half way intelligently about the business. This is a continuous process and something you will do from now on, but begin early. 

5) Teach Yourself but avoid analysis paralysis. It's essential to be educated and have general overall understanding of the business. But, the truth is that if you wait till you know all you will NEVER do anything. Get the basics down and then find out the rest as you go. I have been in this business 20 years and I am still learning new things. Just imagine if I had waited until I knew everything - I'd still be waiting. Do not fall into that trap. Learn then put it to use! 

6) Find a mentor. Look around. There are most likely a great deal of successful investors locally. Find someone to help mentor you. Call them up and ask them if you can shadow them for a day. Request to take them to lunch and discover how they got started, what they'd do differently, what they're having success with. Heck, in the modern social media world you do not even have to leave your living room to find someone to speak to, but do pick your mentors carefully. Use your gut instincts and wisdom. 

7) Be sensible. I met a girl about a year ago in a bootcamp event who had never purchased a home and just began learning the business. When she was asked what her goal was her answer was,"to create a billion dollars in 2009." Granted, I am all for defining your targets and being positive, but a bit of realism is in order also. 

In case you've got no money for marketing, you perform a full time job, your credit is taken, and you are just beginning then it is realistic that you could do 2-3 deals this season and earn an additional $20-40,000. Or, you can purchase and rent out 2-3 homes this year and increase your monthly income by $600/month while increasing your net worth.
