How To Find Off Market Deals Below Market Costs and Make a Million ;-)
For finding deals and reaching early retirement, new investors can get help in their financing by utilizing Creative Finance like Wraps and Subject To. Wanting to buy that second property? Tired of not finding deals and then when you finally locate one, the bank wants 20% down? On a $400,000 property, that's $80,000, Crazy isn't it.
Here's how it works:
Instead of putting 20% down and having high lender costs, you can find deals below market, take over the loan, and save all of those costs. On top of that, when you turn around and sell it on a Lease Option, you get all of your money back right away , make a ton on money and have money to buy the next one. Okay, it takes a little learning but here is why it works.
Here is what one of the new people I coach from Socal did with a property in Phoenix I helped him find. He has taken his training seriously. It’s a Subto (Subject To) that I helped him buy “off market” and he chose to sell on a Lease Option. This also works in CA, TX and GA. I’ve broken it into sections so it’s a little easier to follow.
He is into it for a total $15,828 cash, has some cash backup just in case, and nets $106,745 when all is said and done. Using a traditional bank he would have a 20% down of $55,000 plus $3600 in closing so roughly $58,600 in cost to buy this property. That's what the average investor does. Boring, and expensive. Cash flow averages $100 a month. Yawn!
Now we use a technique that's been used for decades, you just aren't aware of it. It's called Creative Finance. Buying below market price, not on the MLS, you can take over the seller's existing 3.5% interest rate mortgage. How cool is that! No down payment! no lender fees! Low payment! The cash flow is $700 a month. WoW!
That’s a difference of about $42,000 to buy a property. That is money he can use to buy the next one, and the next one. It’s 3 times as efficient to do the (BOMSTSLO) ™ Method
Don't get it yet? That's okay, we provide a spreadsheet that lets you, run your numbers and learn how it works. Just connect.
