It will be re-assigned to another broker/agent on their list.Listing residential REO ship sailed long ago.Many of my broker friends have stopped listing for banks and work on the buy side more as they pick up a bonus.On the REO side you get hit with BS certifications from asset companies wanting hundreds of dollars a year to be a MEMBER and POSSIBLY land a listing.When you do it's a POC (piece of crap) and you have to outlay a money with rekey and trashout,cash for keys etc. in some cases and wait for the money to be paid back to you.If you have a buyer for the property try to deal with FNMA.If you are just after a listing you need to go with a big reo brokerage already established and be a buyers broker.As local and regional banks have told me they get calls almost everyday from agents wanting to list their REO's.I am more valuable as I focus on the commercial side so they don't get as many of those specialized types.If you are the broker you can go to the local banks and offer to do it cheaper for volume and land business that way.Thanks

Newbie here and suspicious of a "great offer"Hippoze is the primary LLC formed for the purpose of purchasing, managing and selling real estate.Smaller feeder LLCs managed by GM's will have their own LLC under the mother ship HBI.Smaller LLC's run by a GM offer this "opportunity" to friends and family.Hippoze LLC would be the title owners.They are "Hoping" to refinance in 1-3 years but an investment period of 10 years is desired, It is up to the discretion of the GM what to do with the returned moneys, 1) reinvest with HBI 2) reinvest with another NON HBI investment 3) return to the individual investors.Depreciation and profit will be passed down to the LLC and investors through K1s.This is the small of it, our investment would be around $10K and each LLC will be $50K to 250K, supposedly the GM for our LLC has a substantial investment ready to go.

Unless it's a corporate tenant with a long term proven track record that would mean nothing to me as an investor.The reason is businesses fail everyday.Even if the business has thrived for the last few years they might have been only going out of the home or a small space.Now they are going bigger in space and they may or may not grow as expected and the rent might take them down.They could be down sizing in space and carrying a ton of debt and fixing to go under.So as an investor the track record and seasoning and performance of the lease is critical when doing an income approach.You also have to analyze if rents are dropping in the area.Even if the tenant has been there awhile they might be jumping ship for a lower rate elsewhere and the lease is coming up soon.I think FSBO really isn't going to get you a higher price.The agent bringing a buyer will now have to do 2 jobs with the buyer and the seller for one fee.Also the buyer will see you are saving on the listing commission compared to other properties listed for sale and will reduce the offer to you.It's a classic mistake of the seller thinking they are saving the listing commission and the buyer reducing in the offer.

And I receive about 300 plus emails daily with webinars that promise secrets to niches no one knows and free info then you are being offered $500 programs and website member ships. now if your mailing to about 5,000 people for 6 months straight advertise constantly(which if you don't no is all set on a timer there auto responder trigger automatically), image odds 5,000 people $500 a program if only 20 people join that's $20,000!

Although I prefer to offer points to be paid upon refinance (back-end) as an incentive for the debt partner to not jump ship, you might find it a useful tool to incentivize your partners to hang in there for the full-term.3) Offer some sort of equity offering.

For example, wellsfargo will my lend to us but they have no problem buying our loans from the broker ;) so I would recommend you ship around.

I have the seller sign a Letter of intent to Lease and To OptionThe letter of Intent covers...Address, Rental Term, Renal Payment per month, Security Deposit, Possession Date, Option Sales Price (could new appraisal), Option Money (usually 3% or $5K min), Representations, Warranties, Covenants, and Indemnification, Legal Effect, Notice of Intent to Assign, Option Period (45 - 60 days)I have them sign the letter of intent (LOI), it goes to my attorney, and the attorney prepares the paperwork.There is an option release disclosure document that discusses that the buyer will be responsible for the following fee’s to be paid out of escrow at closing, which are for the release of the recorded notice of option, the assignment of negotiated purchase price, and the negotiated rent.2.

I'd say it's the investor's responsibility to run a tight ship, but this kind of issue should be something that the title company knows about and insists upon solving prior to closing and transferring title.

Or is it better to have a solid foundation of dependable income before jumping ship?

forget it...that ship sales years ago!
