Today more than ever is an excellent
opportunity for transactional engineers to buy subject-to. There
are many exit strategies to work your deals, but today’s focus is
on fixing and selling. Buy a house for as little as possible, make
small fixes, and then sell. These could be starter homes, which are
experiencing high demand. These deals don’t demand much work, and
the houses sell quickly!
In this episode, hear about three deals Blair
and Jeff are working on with different exit strategies. Learn how
to buy subject-to, fix and flip, and how to get an $80K payday just
for writing out a check to bring a loan current. Discover the
difference between finding a buyer for a house versus finding a
house for a buyer.
Finally, hear how wholesaling works in
Illinois, how to deal with wrecked houses that have been rejected
for short sales, how to deal with eviction processes and LLCs in
Iowa, and the importance of having rental comps when doing
terms.
