Is Anyone Still Flipping Short Sales?

Monday, March 5th, 2012 | Real Estate Investing, Real estate short sales, Short Sales | No Comments

Answer: Yes and No

Let me explain.

A few years ago EVERYONE was flipping short sales and making gobs of money doing it. Today there are still investors making a killing with short sales BUT THE RULES have changed. The game is not being played on a level playing field anymore. The banks, underwriters and feds have weighted the game in their favor and hurt the entire financial system in the process.

BUT…..

There are still many ways to profit from short sales. In just the past 2 weeks I’ve received checks for $13,950, $4995, $4947 and $4947 = $28,839 from 2 closings.

There are 9 different ways to make profits from short sales be EXACT.

This week I’ll show you step by step how to negotiate short sales in today’s investing climate. I’ll also show you how to position your business to profit from short sales 9 different ways.

Bad news for real estate investors – Buyers can’t get loans.

Saturday, February 11th, 2012 | Real Estate Investing | No Comments

So I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news today but there’s some data I have in my hands that I must reveal to you. Read this carefully please.

*Short Sale flips are tougher to do than ever. There simply aren’t enough people who can get bank loans to “cash you out” once you get your short sale approval from the bank. Plus title companies are very strict on disclosing back to back flips to both the “A” and “C” lenders. Anyone who’s an active short sale flipper knows this is getting tougher to do every day.

*Rehab flips are very profitable but they can be risky for a new investor without experience. Contractors aren’t always “upstanding”. Buyers “flake out” or can’t get approved for loans even though they are pre-approved.

*Buyers must have a 700+ credit score on average to qualify for a FHA loan plus a down payment. This means there are less buyer’s to “cash you out” using FHA loans.

*Most leads that you will generate into your real estate business will be houses with little or no equity. So if you are an “equity” wholesaler you will have trouble getting “equity” leads this year. My prediction is that this is just 5% of the deals I’ll do this year.

*80 -100 million people – roughly 30% of our entire population cannot qualify for a traditional bank loan. Cool thing is there’s a “golden opportunity” that’s been created because of tighter bank lending standards.

*Credit is expected to tighten this year, not loosen, according to Inside Mortgage Finance magazine.

*11.2 million home owners have no equity according to CoreLogic.

*Another 16 million have very little equity. They are 90% – 100% leveraged.

So where are the investment opportunities right now? What can you do about this and still be a successful investor today?

The answer: Go where the money is and diversify into strategies that do not require banks at all.

I put together a training class to show you my system for taking advantage of this opportunity.

Register here.

Here’s the best part of what he’ll be showing you:

*There are 4 simple, fast, safe and easy ways for you to make money that don’t require any banks whatsoever.

*You can profit from every type of property. Houses with equity, houses with no equity and no default (which are most common) and overleveraged houses in foreclosure( (short sales).

*The investment strategies are proven. We have been using these strategies since 2004. Just now in 2012 are they really going to “blast off” because of the current state of the financial markets.

*You get paid within 60 days. Often in as little as 16 days. No waiting for 7 months to get a short sale approved and flipped or a house rehabbed and sold.

*You get paid between $500 to $20,000 up front.

*There is one set of paperwork you use to execute all 4 techniques.

*With one of these techniques there is three ways to make money. You can make some cash now (between $500 to $20,000), cash flow each month (between $100 to $1,000) and then cash out down the road (between $7,000 and $40,000) without ever owning the home.

*These leads are everywhere and require little to no marketing costs on your part to obtain.

*This is the easiest, fastest way to make money in real estate with no money, bad credit, and no loans for you or your buyers.

So position yourself and your business for massive success in 2011 without any banks, FHA loans, private money or government programs using 4 “Instant Cash Infusion” strategies.

We’re smack dab in the middle of the biggest market shift we’ll ever see in our lifetime. It creates challenges sure. But it also creates new profitable opportunities.

After reading up on the news about how no one can get bank loans and reading your survey responses last week, I decided to show you EXACTLY how to take advantage of the biggest market shift that’s going on right now.

I put together a video training where I’ll share with you exactly how to take advantage of the hidden goldmine waiting for you!

*There are 4 simple, fast, safe and easy ways for you to make money that don’t require any banks whatsoever in today’s new market. I’ll show you how these 4 strategies work for you to close transactions way easier than you doing them now.

*I’ll show you how to profit from every type of property. Houses with equity, houses with no equity and no default (which are most common) and overleveraged houses in foreclosure (short sales).

*Proven investment strategies. My students and I have been using these strategies since 2004. Just now in 2012 are these strategies really going to “blast off” because of the current state of the financial markets.

*You get paid within 60 days. Often in as little as 16 days. No waiting for 7 months to get a short sale approved and flipped or a house rehabbed and sold.

*These leads are everywhere and require little to no marketing costs on your part to obtain.

*This is the easiest, fastest way to make money in real estate with no money, bad credit, and no loans for you or your buyers.

*Even if you work full time, 10-14 hours a day or more at your other job, you can do this.

The Economy Needs More Buyers and Borrowers

Saturday, February 4th, 2012 | Real Estate Investing | 1 Comment

2011 was a bad year for home prices. As a matter of fact, it was the worst ever. As a real estate investor looking for bargain properties that can be scooped up, fixed, and either sold or rented – that has to music to your ears. There’s only one problem: Mortgage bankers have gotten a lot choosier about giving out credit and approving loans for buyers.

Many experts believe at a time when the economy needs more buyers and borrowers there are much less than ever because banks are pickier about lending money. The Federal Reserve recently surveyed a group of mortgage brokers to get their inside scoop about mortgage lending practices. The Fed’s survey found that lending standards went up sharply after the credit crisis in late 2008. Since then credit hasn’t gotten any easier as banks maintained their strict requirements about mortgage qualification.

As you read into this, an obvious conclusion can be drawn. Finding distressed properties is the easy part. According to Inside Mortgage Finance, 46.1% of all home purchase transactions are distressed properties including short sales, damaged, and non-damaged REOs. Getting credit is the hard part.

So my advice to you is this… Focus on 3 things :

#1 Raise private capital. Every rehab I do today is funded by private lenders from my network I’ve been building for years.

#2 Invest in distressed properties at bargain prices. There are REOs and short sales everywhere to buy. There are also 26 million homeowners who cannot sell because they have no equity. They want to sell but can’t sell through traditional methods using bank loans for their buyers. Using a lease option assignment strategy fee is the fastest and safest way for investors to profit in today’s market. This is where a real estate investor takes over the property using a lease with option to purchase agreement and then wholesales that contract to a lease option buyer for an assignment. The average profit on a transaction like this is about $6,000 for a $150,000 property.

#3 Have multiple exit strategies including selling without bank financing (lease options or owner financing). Rent rolls are higher today than they’ve been since 1999. Consider selling on a rent with an option to buy or with owner financing. Often times, properties will sell in 1/10th the time if they are sold with a large deposit and monthly payments with a 2 year option to purchase. When we market a property on Craigslist “No Bank Qualifying, Rent to Own”, we will typically get 50 calls within 1 week. Real Estate Investors can expect that 3-5 of those buyers will have good credit (600-700 score), 3-5% to put down, and a stable job. They, for multiple reasons, can’t get a bank loan in today’s market. Maybe they have a small bruise on their credit from a late payment or too many open lines of credit. Once they clean that up over the next 18 months they will qualify for a traditional bank loan and cash the deal out.

There just aren’t nearly as many buyers who can cash you out of your properties using bank loans today. If and when bankers start to ease up and loosen up credit then the market will be primed for the real estate investor to make a killing. When there are still bunches of REOs and short sales and there are buyers who can get credit, profit spreads will shoot up 25%, 50%, or even double. I expect that to happen in the 3rd and 4th quarters of 2012.

~Always expect the best outcome~

Even You Won’t Be Able To Qualify for a Mortgage Any Time Soon

Monday, January 23rd, 2012 | Bank owned, Commercial Real Estate Investing, Foreclosures, Real Estate Investing, Short Sales, Wholesale properties | No Comments

The other night I was lying in bed reading an article that blew me away…

It’s called “Prime Mortgage Borrowers: Then vs. Now.”

It was comparing the prime borrower in 2007 to the prime borrower RIGHT NOW.

Check out how ridiculously easy it was to qualify for prime only a few years ago…

In 2007 Requirements for a “PRIME MORTGAGE LOAN” to buy a house were:

• Loan Values up to 125% of the property value
  • Meaning you could borrow $200,000 on a house only worth $175,000
  • Debt to Income ratios of up to 45% of incomee
  • Minimum FICO Score of 620
  • e1 Past W-2
  • 2 months of fallback reserves
  • Employment corroborated one month out prior to closing

Fast forward to the requirements to buy a house TODAY:

• Loan Values max out at 80% of house value
  • *Which means buyers have to put down at least 20%*
  • Debt to Income levels are lower at 33%
  • Minimum FICO is 680 to 720
  • 2 YEARS of W-2s must be provided
  • 12 months of fallback reserves must be available
  • Re-verification of employment within 10 days of closing is required
  • A foreclosure, short sale or deed-in-lieu must be at least seven years old

So what does this mean for us investors exactly?

Well according to watchdog credit rating agency DBRS…

“Based on the minimum FICO score, maximum loan-to-value (LTV), and the requirement that a foreclosure, short sale or deed-in-lieu be at least seven years old, it is likely that most of the U.S. population will not be able to qualify for a mortgage any time soon,” DBRS says.

“Consequently, DBRS expects the housing recovery to continue to lag for many years to come unless there is a loosening of underwriting criteria by the major lenders,” the DBRS concluded.

This changes the game for investors, big time.

If you’ve been following the free material I’ve been sending you about how to profit from recent housing trends with INSTANT CASH INFUSION, you realize this information from DBRS mightily supports the investing strategy Instant Cash Infusion is built on, and will allow investors like you to thrive for the next 2-5 years…

But only if you know how to sidestep the new bottlenecks of banking. Without available credit, we must invest in strategies that do not require bank loans for ourselves or our buyers.

So I am hosting a webinar to show you EXACTLY how to thrive in today’s market – that will instantly put $500 – $20,000 in your pocket in as little as 16 days.

• You get paid within 60 days. Often in as little as 16 days. No waiting for 7 months to get a short sale approved and flipped or a house rehabbed and sold
• You pocket between $500 to $20,000 without needing a loan for any of it

Not to mention the 80 – 100 million hungry buyers who cannot qualify for a bank loan. I’ll show you how to flip them over to the buyer for a very handsome fee
• One technique with three ways to make you money. You can make some cash now (between $500 to $20,000), cash flow each month (between $100 to $1,000) and then cash out down the road (between $7,000 and $40,000) without ever owning the home

Don’t avoid the 900% increase in foreclosure activity in 2012

Tuesday, December 20th, 2011 | Commercial Real Estate Investing, Foreclosures, Pre-foreclosure, Real Estate Investing, Short Sales | No Comments

2012 is  going to be HUGE.

Up to 9 million homes may enter foreclosure in 2012 period,
versus one million in a typical year.

This will send shock-waves through the stock markets and world economy.
It may well be the “dark ages” for homeowners and lenders alike…and the wave of mortgage re-sets will continue in a relentless onslaught…with no mercy!

This can equate to 500 billion in lender losses…

Check out this chart from a huge Euro Bank that shows when
the resets are happening for all the exotic mortgages:

As you can clearly see, we are entering the last (HUGE) wave
of foreclosures right now. All of these resets will cause
foreclosures in 2012.

CLICK HERE to find out how to make money from this
situation

The ARM’s, Option ARM’s, Subprime and Alt-A will be the main
casualties – but will spread into the prime classes too!

The “Too Big to Fail” banks are under the gun for the shady
practice of “robo-signing,” which covers a wide range of
foreclosure paperwork abuses. This serious “mess” has
launched massive legal probes around the country, including
an investigation led by an angry hive of state attorney
generals which reportedly could end up costing banks upward
of $20 billion in settlements to ripped-off foreclosed
home-owners.

The big lenders will be in the “hurt locker” and desperately
seeking investors willing take distressed residential and commercial
properties off their books…as soon as possible!

As you know, 60% of all Option ARM and ALT-A mortgages that
were originated in the “Sand States” -California, Nevada,
Arizona, and Florida began to adjust in 2009. And I’ve got
news for you…

It’s not over yet by a long shot…

In 2012, it’s going to go through the roof, impacting the
entire nation with pre-foreclosure and foreclosure activity.
Many of the major lenders will hold vast amounts of toxic
foreclosures…and are on the edge of extinction. They are
doing a wild spin into C-, D- and finally E- credit ratings
– and that’s end-game.

This massive shift has created a huge opportunity for real
estate investors in 2012. Now is the time to tap into this
massive opportunity.

Go here to get the rest of the story.

Do not ignore this opportunity or you may regret it for the
rest of your life.

Happy Holidays,
Josh
