If they list with her and the property sells, we get a referral check so it's a win for everyone.One question though...does anyone know if I have to disclose that my wife has a referral license when speaking to buyers?

Also it is my way of making a positive different in someone life by setting an example by providing good housing, to being an employer, and proving the good guys can win outside of a fictitious movie role.

We have a saying in the business that attorneys can be "deal killers". lolHow to win attorneys over

I have never targeted college students I simply try to make a win-win situation when they  (or anyone in a unique situation where they might have 3, 6, 9 months of cash for rent) apply for a property.  

Everybody wins.

You can register for more than one auction, but as soon as you win one you cannot bid anymore.

When you win it, sounds like you'll have enough room to throw a party for all of us to come celebrate with you!

lease options are a better option for all parties.For the Owner of the property is just a lease with the option to buy not seller financing so you don't have to worry about the Frank Dodd law and for example in AZ you can evict them if it is just a lease and if it is seller financing you have to foreclose if they don't pay which takes longer more expensive.For the buyer a lease for the state written for the state will protect the tenant buyer and give them more rights and i try to do a  three year term to give them enough time to get prepared to qualify for a new loan.You can still set the future price but make it a win-win for all parties to avoid problems later, also in the addendum I add if the home has not reached the set purchase price by the end of the term the term will extend up to an additional three years or until it reaches the purchase price.The owner benefits because they get the purchase price they want and the tenant buyers are living in the home they are going to own and have more time to improve their credit and save more for a down payment to get a better loan.A win-win

Realtors are your best source of business but they want to get paid just like everyone else, they deal with owners everyday that don't want to pay commissions, don't want to short sale and want a better investment.Also Realtors deal with buyers who don't currently qualify for traditional financing and they are walking away from these potential opportunities.Our company LeaseOwn Homes charge a minimum 5k or 3% of the purchase price for the option fee upfront and we pay realtors up to 50% of that depending if they bring the buyer or seller or both.Also we charge 2% per year as the balance of our option fee paid at time of purchase of the property and give the realtor 25% or 50% see above.This motivates realtors to work with you and by taking care of realtors they will give you warm leads and will help you close them.Again a win-win.

Being able to converse with the tenants and create a WIN-WIN-WIN is where the money is MADE on this deal!
