real estate investing: Wholesaling Real Estate Explained! - 11/25/12 11:13 AM
 
Today I am going to share with you the answers to the top seven questions most folks have about wholesaling real estate for profit.

When I was a little kid I wanted to be a rockstar!  I loved the fact that they get to do what they want…however they want...without any fear of the consequences.  They get to live their wildest fantasies while getting wealthy at the same time.  I only had one hurdle to overcome if I was going to be a rockstar, too…I can’t carry a note in a bucket or play any instruments (except the cowbell).
That’s … (8 comments)

Myth or reality...it is possible to flip a house for good profit with no money down up front? Keep reading to find out the answer!  When I first started educating myself on investing in real estate I thought that you needed a lot of money or at a very minimum really good credit so you could get a loan from a bank.

real estate investing: Acquiring Properties Subject To - 09/10/12 05:11 AM
Subject To, also known as “subject too” or “subject2” refers to acquiring a property subject to the existing mortgage. This means that you agree to make the payments but you do not formally assume the loan.
Acquiring a property subject to the existing debt allows you to get into a deal without having to go out and get new financing. This saves time and particularly saves money. You can avoid the closing costs that are associated with new financing as well as application fees, underwriting and all the other bumps in the road that come with new financing.
Another benefit that … (0 comments)

real estate investing: Wrap Around Mortgages - 09/07/12 12:43 PM
Wrap around mortgages (known as wraps) are a form of owner financing where the new buyer pays the seller directly for a property and the seller continues to make payments on the underlying mortgage.
There are many advantages to using a wrap-around mortgage. First, your buyer doesn’t have to apply for new financing. This means no appraisals and second appraisals, underwriting, red tape and bank delays. Second, you are still making your mortgage payments. This gives you control and you can be sure that the payments are being made in a timely fashion. If your buyer doesn’t pay you, you can … (3 comments)

Blogging Is The Most Important Form Of Online Advertising You Will Ever Do!
When I first began real estate investing I knew that the Internet and technology was going to be my main source of leads.  I built a website and naively believed that people would find me online and walla...they would contact me.  Oh how wrong I was.  My site was lost in a competitive online world of "cash for houses" websites and no one found my site or tried contacting me.  So I started to research and learn about getting my site to the top of the search engines...I … (2 comments)
