How'd I do that?
I'm using a combination of "Subject To" and "Seller carry back". So, theoretically $775k - $680k = $95k gross profit for me. Not sure what my net profit is yet, but it's pretty good. I'm satisfied with it.
That's all just a fancy way of saying I found a motivated seller without using a real estate agent, that hadn't listed on the MLS. Happens all the time across the USA.
This one responded to a stupid, ugly, yellow postcard. Not one of those beautiful fliers that people throw away before they look at them.
And I have someone with a 9 to 5 job using their SDIRA on the deal to make money as a private lender.
“What a country”, as Yakov Smirnoff would say.
So, if you have questions on "Subject To", "Seller Financing", "Private Lending", SDIRA, Off Market,
or "Why in the heck would they do that",
or "How do I add that to my list of tricks", and so on, ask away.

Excellent question. The husband passed away, the house is in Phoenix and the wife wants to move back to Tennessee. There needs to be some updating to the property, she doesn't have the money or desire to do the updating and it wouldn't sell for value on the MLS "as is".
Plus, there are no realtor fees, so she can sell for $40,000 less. I can close quickly, no waiting for a buyer on the MLS.

@Account Closed Here's another popular one for you: "What list did you mail?"
You're a smart guy! That's the most important question, isn't it. A few year's ago I sent out 5,000 nicely designed 5" x 8 " post cards, at about $1.00 per postcard for $5,000 to a general list. I received zero (0) calls.
This one I sent out 500 ugly, 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" yellow post cards for $500 to a list I pulled for "Liens". I got several calls. This property I bought.
They say you have to mail to the same address 7 times before they call. That has not been my experience. I've had people hold onto my mailers for a couple of years before they call "out of the blue". But then, I send out really ugly postcards.
