I always get people asking me about wholesaling, many times they are newbies looking to get started in their Real Estate Investing Journey.  I put together 12 Simple Steps to wholesale real estate.  I created a blog so you can see the steps involved, if you want to take a real deep dive, you can check out the book!  If you have any questions for me please feel free to ask!  I would also love to know what you think!

We don't offer that, we only charge interest payments.  There may be other lenders out there that do.  Its not good business in my opinion.  You may also find Private Investors that like your deal that could also Joint Venture with you being the money of the project. 

I have some clients that will use this strategy. They will use us for the 1st and either JV or get a private loan for the Down Payment. It's common when they have a family member loaning them the rest. I'm not 100% sure but I believe they usually pay them back a set amount when the property closes or if it's a private money person typically you'll pay higher points on the 2nd because it's not secured.

One of the biggest question I get asked is not about FLIPPING a house, it is about BUYING a house.

When someone plans to Flip Houses, the biggest question I get is "Should I buy the house under my name or create a business entity?"

Recently there has been an abundance of those questions so that prompted me to call upon one of my Power Team members, Attorney Meaghan Hatch to discuss a few of my strategies at our next House Flipping School MeetUp on Thursday February 26th.

YOU WILL LEARN:

  • How to choose the proper corporate structure
  • How to control the Purchase from the P&S to Close
  • The importance of a title examination
  • What Title Insurance is and why it benefits you
  • and Much More!!!

MeetUp Information:

  • When: February 26th, 2015
  • Where: Radisson Hotel Plymouth, 180 Water Street
  • Room: Kingston / Duxbury Room Main Floor (2nd)
  • Time: Networking Starts at 6:30
  • Parking: Park behind or on the side of the Hotel

Thanks @Mike Hurney it has been a great year.  How is everything with you?

Time flies when your having fun...

We can't believe a year has gone by already. 

Last year, we decided to start a monthly meeting, free of charge, that would give investors, contractors, realtors and really anyone interested a place to go for networking and education on House Flipping.  

www.houseflippingschool.com/meetup

With meetings varying between 50 and 100 people through out the year, we feel it has been a huge success. 

If you are in the Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Maine or New Hampshire, come and Celebrate with us!

We have had topics from Marketing, to Private Money to how to Rehab / Renovate properly.  This months topic will be very interactive as we bring up 3 members of House Flipping School who just got started with in the 1 year, where they are at now and the attendees get to ask any questions they may have about House Flipping.  

Come Celebrate with us at the Radisson Hotel in Plymouth Massachusetts

185 Water Street

Plymouth MA, 02360
