Group Q & A 900170

Question:

The reason for this note is to inquire how to handle this wonderful situation I have pending.  We have a $269,000.00 house currently in the owner financing rent to owner category.  We have an interested couple with $15,000.00 to put down and able to pay $1,500.00 per month.  As you can see, the down payment fits our program perfectly and the $1,500.00 payment is about $500.00 to little to actually cover the payment on the underlying loan.  Please advise how you would structure this one-year deal.

The couple Charles Sr. plans to cash out within 6 to 9 months once their credit issues are resolved.  I was told that their son Charles Jr. has crummy credit and it has ended up on Charles Sr.’s credit report.  Can credit wiz help straighten this out?

Question:

Joe was asking a question; I’ve looked through everything I have but I didn’t notice the answer if it was there.  What percent of the monthly rent and option fee go toward the payoff of the house?  I’m working on a lease-option deal now for one of our houses.  The house is worth $250,000.  He’s willing to pay a 5% option fee, but wants to know what percent goes toward the purchase price.  Thanks.

Question:

The first question comes from William Edwards who says:  How do you start part time.

Answer:

Well William, here’s what I’m recommending.  I understand that you’ve got all these commitments and all these distractions in life particularly when you’re working with someone else, so what you want to do is be able to calendar and commit a certain amount of time on a daily and weekly basis to allow yourself to be able to have the time to build your business.

Question:

How would you suggest a rookie get their first deal?

Answer:

This is such an important question for so many folks.  Because whether you been in business for a long time or your just getting started.  It is so important that you really rev up your buying machine.  That means that you have to do a significant amount of marketing in the beginning in order to get the attention.  In order to get the leads coming in.  In order to get the momentum in your business.  So, I recommend that if you do not yet have your marketing ordered.  If you do not yet have your marketing placed that is an appropriate use of time.

Question:

We’re going to go with getting started.  James McClendon says, no investment money, bad credit; how can I get started?

Answer:

Well, James that’s a fantastic question and the answer is, follow the system.  It’s just that simple.  If you follow the system, generate the leads…and of course, if you don’t even have money for generating leads, then you’re going to have to spend energy.  It’s an energy-money exchange.  The more money you have the less energy you have to give to get leads.  The less money you have the more energy you’re going to have to give, James.

Question:

Lou, I am a new investor.  I want to wholesale properties to begin to generate a little cash flow.

Answer:

Which is exactly the way a lot of us start out.  We have to do that cash flow situation so that we have enough to eat on, and live on while we build our portfolio of holding properties.  One of the best ways to do that is to find properties for other people and flip it to them.
