Hi friends,

I'm a licensed realtor in the Denver area looking for real estate attorneys that have experience with creative financing, foreclosures, & wholesale transactions. I'm looking to keep someone on my side for advice & drafting of particular contracts.

Any positive referrals for a good real estate attorney would be appreciated.

Thank you & please have a blessed day!

Hi Lily!

Thanks for posting this.

My one question is this:

Do we minus repairs, liens, judgements, etc BEFORE the discount that's applied for the cash buyer? In my head I see that the property value must come down to it's actual value (minus all liens/rehab) before discounting it for the cash buyer and then taking your assignment cut. Any clarification would be appreciated! Thank you.

Hi Hayden,

I'm also just starting in wholesale.

1. You've got to be transparent that you're helping them get a cash offer on their property by bringing them (the seller) together with the buyer for a fee.

2. In your contracts make sure it states that they're aware you're going to assign the contract to a cash buyer for a fee. You don't necessarily have to tell them the spread you're making but they will see it on the HUD sheet upon closing most likely. THAT'S when people groan that they got ripped off. They agreed to the price so what does it matter what you made when you pulled the deal together. There wouldn't be a deal without YOU.

You can pull lists from batch leads, list source, propstream, deal machine, tons of sources it's up to you to figure out what tools you need & for what price.

Get after it!

 For some reason I foresee them coming back with AI taking lots of jobs. After this election (& their false tampering of CPI/Unemployment) I think inflation will ramp back up. Combine the loss of jobs with continued pressure on inflation & cost of living, there will be lots of folks to help out of sticky situations in 2025. What're you specializing in nowadays Michael?
