Quote from @Russell Brazil:

Once the lender receives the new insurance policy to properly insure the new owner, that is what triggers thr due on sale clause. The reason lenders do not typically call the note due, is because the insurance is never updated to properly reflect the new owner of the property. So 90% of people who are moving the property into an entity are for all intents and purposes, uninsured. 


Can someone expand on this comment? How is the buyer to ensure their investment is properly insured if insuring the property in the buyers name/LLC may trigger the DOS?

In my Humble Opinion of 30 years of doing Subject To, one should Never

  1. Never Over leverage Subject To
  2. Never do Subject To without adequate liquidity
  3. Never do Subject To without adequate reserves
  4. Never do Subject To without training
  5. Never do Subject To and try to take out a second
  6. Never do Subject To without proper disclosures
  7. Never do Subject To with a foreclosure
  8. Never do Subject To with a “protected class”

There are other “never do’s” but they seem to be ignored in the general discussion of Subto and people will find out why they should not ignore them, if they are even aware.

Get “properly” trained on what is safe & legal about Subject To, before jumping in.

Hey Mike, 

Thanks for the screenshots. Can you share the actual YouTube links? I'm sure there's additional context. From what I can tell, with Pace he's shared how he's dealt with those due on sale clause ones. 

Mike have you been in Subto?

(Link)  Here is the link 

No, haven't been a part of his Subto Community. Have only been to the Facebook page.  I have been to the US Court of Appeals though, litigating some of these issues and won. I simply teach Subto and have done so for 30 years, legally & safely. That is not what he does. (No, an Executory Contract does not stop a Due on Sale call) I'm not here to bad mouth him, I'm just answering your question. And yes, over leveraging a Subto and using "gator" lenders is not only bad practice, but it's going to lead to law suits.

He is wrong on so many levels that I have posted extensively on it and it gets boring. Investor beware. 

What should give you pause though, to reflect upon, is his losing his contractor's license to fraud.

It's one thing to have your contractor's license revoked for 7 legal actions, it's even worse when you don't make amends when you clearly can. That shows there is no change in character. No remorse. He will do it again. BIgger group this time.

I don't follow that type of lifestyle and I stay away from people that gloss over it. Nothing personal. 

If that doesn't bother you, we live in different worlds. But, I wish you well.

Newbie here with one LTR. My friend has multiple STR's in Pigeon Forge /Sevierville area. 1br/2bth mostly. She told me recently that she might put 2 of them up for sale this spring. She retired and looking to slow down. I told her to let me know. She's Real estate savvy so I don't think she'll leave money on the table. Most likely in the 499k. If all the due diligence checks out, what are some creative financing options I can present to her? I wouldn't mind acquiring an STR, if it makes sense.

Explain to her that using a real estate agent on the MLS on a $500,000 sale will cost her $30,000 in fees.

Quote from @Henry Clark:

Not that the box doesnt need replaced but it probably not going to be solved by moving up to 200 amps.

As mentioned have an electrician look at.
Look on the box and see what is connected to each breaker.   Also ask the tenants what they have turned on when the breaker blows and which breaker.  

You probably have several large draws on the same breaker.  Should have all of these going to different breakers.  Oven, frig, freezer, washer, dryer, heating, cooling, dishwasher, etc.  Number of plugins per.

If you have several of these wired together you will still blow breakers with 200 amp.  

What has likely happened is someone has spliced a line or two from another line for "convenience" (likely in the attic).  The draw on the breaker exceeds it's limit, just barely and when certain lights/outlets/appliances start up, it trips the breaker.

Hi all!

Just a quick question today! I'm planning on buying my first rental property in the next 6 months (see my previous posts for more info on this), and in the meantime I'm looking for ways to boost my credit. I currently only have one credit card in my name that I pay off in full each month. Firstly, I receive mixed opinions on whether or not getting additional credit cards going will help/hurt my credit, so I'd love any feedback with that. Secondly, what are other ways I can build up my credit? To give a little context, I'm 22 and finishing up my degree at the University of Utah. I don't have any current debt. If there's more information that would help answer my questions please let me know! Otherwise, I'm looking forward to hearing all of your thoughts. 

Ryan

Your quickest way to build credit is to have a co-signer on a big purchase like a house. Their credit qualifies for the credit side and your income qualifies for the income side. There are other caveats but that is it in the simplest terms.

Post: Need Financial Advisor (Retired) - Real Estate, stocks, annuities, advice

Quote from @Mackal Smith:

I have been retired for 7 years. My current financial advisor deals well with my stocks, 401K, Roth IRA, and Annuity but I also need help figuring out the most tax efficient way to get out of the small multi-families I own across 2 companies and a partnership with small multi-families. I don't want to leave a burden for my wife when I pass so I need to work with someone who can look at all my assets and provide me my most tax efficient way to structure an exit plan.

I own some properties outright and am open to selling some to loosen up equity with a strategy of owner financing others to provide a steady stream of income over the next 15 to 30 years but this needs to fit into an overall plan including all my existing income streams ( social security, a fairly large annuity, substantial 401K, substantial non-401K investments, and a real estate portfolio worth a couple million).

I can find financial advisors that deal with investments other than real-estate, but I have not been successful finding someone that is willing to deal with the complicated overall financial picture I have including real estate.

Any help would be very much appreciated

What I've learned is that financial advisers don't usually advise on real estate, they don't make money on it. ;-) However, a sophisticated investor in real estate may be able to help. What are you trying to accomplish?

Quote from @Richard Anderson:

I have one remote STR. The biggest challenge in furnishing it was getting the furniture there. We bought a few things where it is located, ordered things through Minoan to be delivered directly, or stacked furniture in my garage, rented a U-Haul and took it down. Unfortunately, Minoan (at least when we used them for this property) doesn't always have the most accurate delivery info from the vendors. I found that out when I had bunk beds delivered to the property and I was not there to receive them. That made for an interesting day! Once that happened, I had the remaining furniture sent to my house and used the U-Haul.

From a previous post you responded on:

@Richard Anderson: You've piqued my interest.

Do you happen to know if there are guidelines in the banking industry as to how to handle the Due on Sale Clause when a seller sells on Executory contract to another individual?

I’m very curious how many Due on Sale clauses are invoked on a yearly basis in the industry or by state or by bank that can be extrapolated.

That is the same as the "control prong" in banking beneficial owners. I work in banking AML compliance.

I am not sure where to find or what the title of who I am looking for is called. Looking for someone to analyze my real estate holdings and determine best /worst ROI for each property. I have alot of properties and want someone who is very good at this and experienced to help me figure out which properties I should sell because the returns are not good

Keep in mind you have costs when you sell and there could be a tax hit as well.

Hey BP folks!  

I bought a single in 2020 for 175k (almost doubled in value since) and a condo a year later (50k equity built).  

I'm self employed, my DTI is gonna scare away any bank and my liquid capital is minimal. Where do you go from here? Is it time to scale? Cashflow is good on the single (1200/mo) and ok on the condo (400/mo).

Was thinking of building an arbitrage portfolio and putting all profits in a side account to pursue DSCR loans on semi rehab properties but its such a long game.

Am I missing the obvious?  Scale into commercial?  Hold and be happy with where I’m at?? 

We need to know what your goals are to best direct you. Then a lot depends on your total picture. How much capital you have to work with, how much you have to work with on a yearly basis, if you are willing to look at creative finance, what markets you want to invest in and so on. We can help you sort that out, but that's where it begins.
I think I am after the golden 10k/mo net income from real estate.  I’m not at all in the “passove income” pipedream.  I like managing amd being hands on.  

The initial plan was to build the portfolios equity until I could sell off the whole thing and get i to a 12 unit or bigger in the Tampa Bay area.  

Liquid capital is minimal right now and my income is from live music so not much to show.   Creative financing my way into another single or condo would be great.  Maybe a big move, cashing out 150k selling a couple places?? 

Thanks for the pointers!

In order to do creative financing safely, you need access to about $20k - $25k. Credit doesn't matter and you don't have to qualify at a bank.
