Real Estate investing video training www.localmentor.com Michael Jake discusses how to simplify wholesaling houses. Simple Steps to Wholesale a House for Cash in less than 2 weeks (more)
If they owe more than it’s worth (synonymous with negative equity) your only option to help them is to short sale it (get the lender to accept less than what owed to avoid foreclosing and liquidating the house themselves). Ideally this is the lesser of many evils the seller faces. It will ideally stop them from going to foreclosure and help their credit recover quicker, however many lenders still won’t give them a loan within 3 years (same as foreclosure) for another house.
I got a whole lot of foreclosed properties, and some buyers. My question is, what if the owner(in a pre-foreclosure) owe more than whats the house i worth? also, what if their equity is also in the negative? whats an LLC?
makes alot of sense and well explained. It answers alot of the questions I had. It does seem that there is alot of work to be done, from finding the property, turning detective to contact the owner, seeing if they want to sell, then trying to get a very low price (50% off in your example) then title check, finding your buyer. It sounds like it would take weeks todo. But very little risk, I like that part. Thanks for sharing. Appreciated.
You’ve posted several comments on my videos and you come across very confrontational, whether you mean to or not. Wholesaling like all business is about relationships. If you focus on building relationships with buyers you will find that selling your deals gets easier and easier.
If you can’t communicate well and don’t have a good relationship or if people flat out don’t like you, they won’t do business with you.
My buyers deal with me because they know I have THEIR interests at heart. . . .
Title companies do charge for closings. Call one locally for fees. some states also have transfer taxes/fees. The title co. can give you an idea of what it costs in your area. If you are wholesaling, then you don’t pay any fees if assigning, if double closing you can dump them one way buying and another way selling, but they are there.
I use a purchase and sale agreement with the seller and an assignment of contract form to assign to my buyer. I have all my forms included with my wholesaling course.
never had a deal I couldn’t wholesale – key word is “deal”. If you have a buyers list and know what buyers will pay and how quick they can close, you’ll never have a problem getting out of a deal.
IF you goof up, you need an ‘exit’ on your contract – “subject to. . . . ” something then you can exit, BUT, I’d renegotiate first, if you haven’t sold it, you should have at least gotten offers on what you COULD get for it, so go back, renegotiate and get it for a price you can wholesale.
Hi Mike! Terrific video, although I do have a question. Have you ever been in a situation where you are assigned a house but no one on your buyers list takes the house? What do you do in that situation since you are already under contract?
that’s the basics of the ’steps’. Easy? Depends on your definition – it was hard for me to figure out all the details, but once you get it, yes, it does seem easy.
Most of my mentoring clients are in CO, but I’ve trained investors in many states. Folks like someone close, but the fundamentals work anywhere.
most states require some type of “consideration” to bind the contract. State Approved agreements typically expect an earnest money check – most of my wholesales I do I find by direct marketing, so I have sellers calling me. In this case I use my own agreement and give a promissory note.

Renegotiating is that part I may still be willing to learn. My last seller just backed out. “NOT selling anymore”

This info is very helpful! Thank you! Does the title company charge a fee for doing this service? If so how much is the fee usually?
