Whether or not you've ever dealt in real estate, you can easily imagine the most common obstacle to selling a house: Getting interested buyers who can qualify for a loan, right? It's just not good enough to have somebody interested in buying a house . . . if they can't get approved on a new loan, chances are they can't close and actually end up buying the house. ~me after time banks will find ~ to deny the loan. Let me tell you, after an owner/seller has been through that mill two or three times with ready and willing buyers, he or she is ready for somebody with a better idea. Someone who can create a way to get their house sold without forcing the buyer to jump through all those bank loan committee hoops. Somebody like you! Your solution: create financing that requires No qualifying, No banks, No loan committees... where only you decide which buyer will get the wonderful house you're offering. It's a winning solution for the seller and the buyer.. . and, when you include your profit, it becomes a win-win-win situation! We call this lucrative technique owner financing. You'll find the houses for this part of the business in nice areas all around you . . the sellers have a simple sign in the front yard to let you know . . . it says, For Sale By Owner (or better yet, they call you!). In these transactions you're a different kind of matchmaker. You're dealing directly with private sellers (instead of with agents or banks or auctions), and you're literally creating the financing with their help. In the process, you're matching this financing with buyers who just can't quite qualify for a bank loan to buy a house. No, they aren't deadbeats, unemployed or former
ax murderers, they're just working people with good incomes who,
through divorce, self employment or relocating or some other
minor technicality, don't fit into a bank's narrow description of
"acceptable". What they can do, however, is afford to
pay you a down payment that becomes part one of your three-way or
four-way profit picture. But I'm getting a little ahead of
myself. Once You Master The Secrets
Of Owner You'll be able to get in with little or no investment and produce several "profit centers" at different times during the life of the transaction. Yet, surprisingly, you're working with beautiful houses in great condition, that are ready to ~ they are. Better yet, sometimes the owner helps you buy the house, willingly! The secret is in your ability to structure new financing... using skills very few entrepreneurs have mastered or are even aware of. Those who are good with financial concepts and enjoy working with people, are able to pull down tremendous profits concentrating on these For-Sale-By-Owner houses (or FSBO's, normally referred to as "fizzbo's"). |

Sometimes, you solve the sellers problem by agreeing on a small down payment and monthly payments to buy their house. A lot of times I can arrange this owner-financed purchase at zero interest! Next, you simply turn around and create the same type of no-qualifying financing for your buyer with payments that go directly from the buyer to you with no bank in the middle. You become the bank, by collecting a monthly
payment from your buyer and paying your seller each month,
keeping the difference. Believe me, there are millions of people
who can afford to buy a house but can't get qualified because of
the red tape rules and most banks. So when you ask for a modest
down payment and monthly payments, your buyer is only too happy
to buy the house from you it's the only way they can buy! Buying And Selling A House
Using 1) Your first profit center is the difference between the down payment you paid the seller, if any, and what you collect from your buyers as their down payment. This can be anywhere from $500 to $30,000 net profit you collect within days of finding the deal. 2) Your second profit center is the monthly spread on your incoming loan payment from your buyer and your outgoing payment to your seller. This can run from $100 to $1000 per house each month. This is money coming in whether you are working or not, sick or well, at home or on vacation even if you're dead and buried! 3) Your third profit center is the
difference between your purchase price and your sales price,
which can be from $5,000 to $150,000 on each deal. These cash
paydays can come immediately, or later in the deal . . . But the
best part is, you have nothing more to do to get them. You Get Paid Several Times Sometimes the deal can be even simpler than creating new financing, when you find a house with an assumable existing loan. In these transactions, the loan does not have to be paid off when the property is sold. These assumable mortgages can be taken over by anybody, regardless of credit, right from the present owner. You've probably seen "no qualifying" in house ads before ... well, it might surprise you to know that some of these people still have a hard time selling their property! They may have too much equity (that they want
to get paid for), or they may owe slightly more on the house than
what it's worth in today's market, or any number of other
problems. So their nice, assumable loan sits, and their nice,
pretty house sits, and it's all there waiting for you to come by
with a solution to their dilemma. In lots of cases you can
actually buy high, like at full retail, and sell high, and still
make a strong profit . . . and do so with no credit, little or no
money or risk, no partners, and very little training. You see... The Loan You Create Just how many assumable mortgages are out
there? Well, every FHA loan before December 15, 1989 is fully
assumable, as is every VA loan before March 1, 1988. In addition
to these, many owner-financed loans are (or can still be)
structured to be assumable. There are literally millions of
properties out there that, because of these loans, can be taken
over with a signature. You make your profit by simply finding a
buyer who couldn't normally qualify for new financing . . . but
who has some money to put down on the house... and placing them
in a home within just a few days The difference between the money
you collect from your buyer as down payment and what you pay the
seller down, is your profit. It's simple, quick, easy, and very
profitable! There Are Three Keys First, the house must be in good condition. Second, you must be able to get into it with only a very small cash investment. Third, the property must have an assumable non-qualifying loan, or else an assumable loan that you create. We go into each of these in great detail in my Cash-Flow System, telling you exactly how to assure that each one of these factors is in place and your profit is guaranteed. Does it work? I wouldn't be writing about it if didn't. Take a look at some typical successful students. For Phil Barnes, it took a little determination to find the seller, but you' can see how it paid off: "I recently bought and sold a home that I saw For Sale By Owner'. The owner was a truck driver and hard to find (is it any wonder he hadn't sold the house yet... you not only had to want this one, you had to chase down the owner, too!). The house was an assumable, non-qualifying loan with a $27,600 balance. After putting $3,500 in repairs, I sold for $47,900, making a net profit of $16,800." You notice that Phil didn't have to go out and get anybody's approval to make the deal except the seller. No banks. No loan approval process. He just made the deal with the seller and assumed the loan. And guess what? When he resold the house, the buyer was able to just take over the same loan, all over again. No qualifying. No qualifying. Glen Staples, from Maryland, did the same thing on a $150,000 property, only his profit was $25,112. Glen "quick-turned" an assumable mortgage he created on the property involved in his deal. No loan application, no credit reports, no points and no long drawn-out closing times. Glen's deal closed in a few days after finding the buyer. No hassle, just a cash profit. Remember, the loan itself is what makes these deals great deals. I know this owner-financing area might seem just a little complicated at this point, but believe me, once you understand how to structure these deals, and have the right forms and agreements available everything falls right into place. My complete For-Sale-By-Owner Cash-Flow System takes you through every step and every variation of this tremendous money maker. By the way, if you're looking for a house for
your family to live in... DO NOT under any circumstances buy one
before you get my course! It will cost you thousands of dollars
more than necessary . . . that I can absolutely guarantee you! You Do Not Have To Trot Down To
Your I'll show you several ways you can be in a lovely home in an area of your choice, with payments you'll love with little or no cash required, no banks and no credit: I don't care if you have a negative net worth, lousy credit, and are bankrupt. In fact, let me tell you about Bobby Sessions, my long-haired, guitar-banging, rock star son-in-law. He and my daughter purchased a lovely 2500 square-foot "For-Sale-By-Owner" home in a gorgeous area of Jacksonville. Now, that's no big deal except for a few neat little goodies they got with the deal:
My friend, for your own good, don't even consider buying your next home without letting me show you how to do it... the right way. You can do the exact same thing, get all the same benefits and live in the home of your dreams a lot quicker than you think . . . regardless of your financial condition. I can show you how to do everything I've described here even if you've filed bankruptcy or have just been released from jail! It's just not important when you know the secrets. Here are a few of the important things you can learn in the "For-Sale-By-Owner" Cash-Flow System:
Here's one more profit center that can easily make you $10,000 on the very first deal and the best part is there are literally hundreds of them available in your city right now. Here's an example to help clarify this opportunity. Suppose a seller calls you with a house, in excellent condition, worth $100,000 with a non-assumable loan balance of $92,000 and a payment of $800. He's just lost his job and is two payments behind. The seller isn't too concerned about his equity because he simply doesn't have any to speak of. He's more concerned about a potential foreclosure ruining his credit. If he lists the house with a real estate agent and pays a commission, he'll have to continue making payments he can't afford while it's on the market. When and if it sells, he'll be lucky to break even. Most sellers in this situation are simply looking for a solution, any solution. If you can provide one, you'll be a hero and make money on a deal not one out of a thousand investors would even touch. Solution number one: Get the seller out of his payments and clear of the house by finding a buyer to take over the loan. First, the seller deeds you the house for no money or perhaps $500 "moving money". You agree to make up back payments when and if you find a buyer to take over his loan. I always get the seller to sign a CYA (cover your assets) letter to make sure he understands I made no promise to do anything except try to solve his problem. Of course, the actual letter I use is included in my FSBO Cash-Flow System. Don't forget, this seller is about to be foreclosed by the bank, so he has nothing to lose by selling his house to you. Either you provide a solution or he loses the house anyway. Remember, the house has a $92,000 non-assumable loan which most people would think is a problem and would prevent a sale. This simply isnt true! and those who believe this conventional wisdom are walking past a fortune as the listen to so-called experts! Anytime a homeowner want to deed you their
house there is absolutely nothing to prevent them from doing so.
The loan is only a lien against the house. It does not have to be
assumed to transfer the title. Of course, the $92,000 loan is
still attached to the house, but you now own the home. You are
not liable for the debt unless you assume the loan, which would
be foolish and would screw up a perfectly simple, risk-free deal. Your Objective Is Very Simple: Take the deed you've obtained for little or no money, and pass it on to a new owner/occupant for several thousand dollars. The seller deeds to you. You deed to your buyer. The buyer starts making payments on the loan and owns a house without having to qualify. The whole transaction shouldn't take more than ten days to complete. At least none of the 50 or so I've done took any longer than that! To recap the deal:
Note: I usually pass all closing costs to the buyer in these no-qualifying deals. In the above example, the $92,000 loan
contained a "due-on-sale" clause. This wording, in a
mortgage, gives lenders the right to call the loan due in full
when ownership is transferred without the lender's permission.
The good news is, even though they have that right, it is rare
for a bank to force a conforming asset into a nonconforming asset
and refuse payments the buyer is ready, willing and able to make. Why Is This So-Called "Lethal" Clause Your Friend? The perception of most people is that if the bank has a right to call the loan due it will do so. That very perception keeps unschooled investors away from these deals and creates an enormous opportunity for those who understand how to make them work. Nothing is hidden. I teach students to make
sure all parties in the transaction are aware and accept the
minimal risk involved. I will teach you not only how to use the
due-on-sale clause to make a lot of money, but also how to insure
youre never at risk. Could You Buy A Home This Way? Of course! We've just discussed how to buy with little or no money, no credit, and no personal liability. Meanwhile you're getting free equity from a seller whose main concern is getting rid of a problem. You will be absolutely amazed at how many people would love to just give you their house and walk away if you give them the opportunity. Of course there are a few things you'll need to know and a few forms you'll need to use, and I've included everything in my System. Everyone who has bought a house in the last five years with a small down payment and gotten 90% to 97% financing is a candidate for this type of deal! They have very little equity and a real problem when it comes time to sell. My friend, I've got students who specialize in these deals and make a killing. The deals are easy to do, very plentiful, and require no credit and little or no money. The best part is the houses are very easy to sell because you make it so simple for a buyer who can't qualify anywhere else. If you are wondering about these non-assumable loans, forget it. You can make all non-assumable loans assumable! No bank will control your income or tell you what to do. It's all legal and moral and you'll be providing a service to your sellers and buyers that will make you look like a hero. In fact, youll even be helping out banks by saving sellers from foreclosure. Everyone wins. No one loses. You may remember I mentioned two solutions. In our example, the seller may not want to deed you the property, in which case you'll switch to the Lease/Option mode which we'll cover in the next section. Whatever problem the seller has, I'll train you to become a "transaction engineer", and provide solutions that are always win-win. There are a lot more details than I can go into here, details about which Ive written and taught extensively. Once you get into this System, youll be able to go out and find beautiful homes located in great neighborhoods, houses that the owners are having problems selling, and solve their problem! Its a terrific feeling to make somebody happy while youre making several paydays and putting thousands into the bank. But theres another advantage... This is a business that works everywhere, and it's especially great where you have a bumper crop of those mid-to high-priced beauties just aching to be bought. For-Sale-By-Owner homes are all around you right now, and you can find plenty more wherever you go just waiting for someone with the right combination . . . the matchmaker with the way to solve their problem. I get goose bumps just thinking about the fat checks that are waiting for you when you master the owner-financing secrets I can teach you. In the next section I'll cover yet another way you can make money with real estate, Lease/Options and Options. Sincerely,
Ron LeGrand
