Today builders and homeowners are again operating in a soft market. The “paper business” is a great way to make deals work. With the advent of corporate note buyers in the market place the deep discounted opportunities can be limited, however, there are still opportunities. If you end up with paper on a deal, hopefully at a discount, many creative practitioners using them at face value to put together purchase and trade deals. There is more than one way to put real estate sales together. If a buyer has a car, truck, semi-truck, semi-trailer, boat, mobile home, motor cycle, vacant lot, gem stones (the appraisals are varied), diamonds, collectibles, personal property loan, business note, judgment award, lawsuit pending on a traffic accident, life insurance annuities, inheritance, business inventory, chattel mortgages on equipment or any number of combinations can be used to make deals work. Yes it is sometimes sticky, but if you can stay within your comfort zone and two parties agree after utilizing professional appraisers and such, give it a go. The alternative is to do nothing and let the market roll over you like a run away freight train, or you can make something happen. Déjà vu. written by Dale Rogers
Many buyers who have jobs and means to make monthly housing expenses have for what ever reasons have lousy credit. Sometimes bad things happen to good people. It could have been a recent forced job change, family illness, auto accident, death in the family causing a one or two month interruption in the family cash flow. Credit FICO scores plummeted in the lower 500 range. Things are turning around now, but the challenged credit history remains. What to do? If a family does not wish to wait five years to turn their credit around there are several possibilities. With these lower scores many B/C Subprime Mortgage Lenders will allow anywhere from 80% to a 95% Loan To Value Mortgage. At the same time these mortgage lenders may allow a 100% Combined Loan To Value (CLTV) mortgage with the seller holding a second mortgage for the difference. Mortgage markets change all the time based on secondary mortgage experiences with foreclosures and slow payment histories. Right now, this scenario is possible in this current slow real estate market. In addition, the lenders will allow the seller to pay in many cases up to 6% of the buyer’s closing costs and prepaid expenses such as the annual hazard insurance premium and escrows for the taxes and insurance. In some cases, these credit-challenged buyers using this financing technique can buy a property with little out of pocket. In the past, these buyers may have been kicked to the curb and told to come back when they have some money saved and improved their credit. Not today, at least by mortgage brokers who know their products. Buyers need to seek and qualify Realtors and Mortgage Brokers who are willing to go to the wall for them to get the deal done. written by Dale Rogers
Jack and Mary were desperate. Mary received a big promotion in another state and Jack was looking for a new job in the same city. It was just too good to pass up. Mary was a rising star in the health care industry and with the huge pay boost and promotion it was a job she had dreamed of ever since leaving graduate school armed with her MBA. Jack was a natural born salesperson and could work anywhere selling just about anything. He liked high tech sales in the high-ticket electronics field and was close to catching on with a company in the same city as Mary’s new job. One problem, they had a large house to sell in a very slow and slumping real estate market.
Soft markets can lead to flexible terms which can help complete real estate deals. Keep and open mind. There is more than one way to skin a…real estate deal.
