- Dealing With "toxic-homeowner" Syndrome In Subject-to Investing
By: peter V | - Once you work with a homeowner to show them just how good a subject-to investing deal can actually be for them as well as for you, you may find that the homeowner becomes a little more demanding. After all, now that you have convinced them of the wisdom of handing over their payments (and their deed) to a third party, they may feel and understandably so that you owe them. This is a frequent problem that I encounter when I do subject-to deals, and I used to find it extremely frustra ...

- Mortgage "red Lights" In Subject-to Investing Deals
By: peter V | - As you can probably imagine, when you are doing a subject-to deal you need to examine the terms of the mortgage agreement very closely. After all, there are a lot of advantages to doing subject-to deals, but all of these can go right out the window if you end up with a mortgage that does not meet your needs. While every situation is different, you have to be able to review the mortgage yourself and possibly with your lawyer to be sure that the lending documents and terms meet your requir ...

- How To Flip A Subject-to Property
By: peter V | - Flipping and flippers are getting a bad name lately because many economists and a large portion of the general public blame the process of flipping real estate for driving prices up so high before the housing market gave out. However, you should not believe all the bad press you hear. Flipping is a legitimate way to make money in real estate and it is a great way to generate money fast. However, since getting a loan is much harder now than it was when people first started flipping en masse about ...

- Subject-to Investing For Your Real Estate Portfolio
By: peter V | - When it comes to building your real estate portfolios, subject-to transactions are a great way to start building without major financial outlay. In fact, many people who are afraid of mutual funds and the market in general at this time are putting their money into real estate instead because they can actually acquire one or more valuable properties at very low prices, sometimes for less per month than they were putting into their other retirement plans.
Please note, I am not recommending ...

- Finding Buyers For Subject-to Properties
By: peter V | - At this point in time, you can definitely get some great deals on subject-to properties. After all, there are frankly just more out there that are decent values than any one real estate investor could ever handle. However, if you are looking to make some money on your subject-to deals fast (and I need to emphasize that I do not mean overnight when I say fast, regardless of what some real estate gurus are still teaching), then you will need to do some prep work before you ever start b ...

- Dealing With Potential Sellers In Subject-to Deals
By: peter V | -
Just as every real estate investing strategy is different, every motivated seller is different too. Of course, in one way each seller is different because each is experiencing a slightly different situation that is making them want to sell their house in short order. However, if you can learn to differentiate between types of motivated sellers, you may be able to shortcut a lot of unnecessary work and research when you are trying to do subject-to deals.
You have probably read a lot ...

- Getting Started With Subject-to Investing: Finding The "right" Motivated Sellers
By: peter V | - While many people understand the basics of subject-to investing, they may not really have a very good idea of how to get started on the process. Subject-to investing is actually pretty simple in concept, but many new real estate investors or just investors new to the process can easily get bogged down because this is not necessarily the simplest type of real estate investors to implement. For this reason, we will take a little bit of time to go over the basics of how to actually get star ...

- Getting Creative With Subject-to Investing
By: peter V | - Imagine this scenario (it is very similar to something that an acquaintance of mine dealt with not that long ago):
Bob is a real estate investor. He has been very frugal with his money and has had good results from the real estate properties that he has been investing in for the past decade or so. In fact, he has had such good fortune (thanks to careful planning, analysis and management of his properties, of course) that he is ready to cash out and retire. However, as we all know, the time ...

- The Role Of Creative Financing In Subject-to Investing
By: peter V | - When it comes to subject-to investing, a legitimate argument can certainly be made that the whole thing, from start to finish, could be considered creative financing. Creative financing is a term used to describe any type of financing that falls outside the traditional lending process (find a lender, show them your credit score/employment record/pay stubs/etc. and then wait for them to determine if/how much they will lend you and what rate). Given that subject-to investing basically involves tak ...

- Making Subject-to Investing Work In Any Economy
By: peter V | - Many people think that subject-to investing and other types of creative real estate are only good when the economy is also good. They may believe that they need easy credit or lots of available money for down payments in order to insure that they will be able to make money on subject-to properties. However, in reality, a bad economy can be just as good, if not better, for creative real estate investors than a good one.
In fact, I know several investors who were good at subject-to in ...

- The Subject-to Investing Pitfall That Many Real Estate Investors Miss
By: peter V | - Imagine that you have located an available property that is just perfect for your requirements. You have a motivated seller who is willing to work with you in order to get the property off their hands. You also have a buyer who is interested in the property, and they are eager to get their hands on it. Best of all, you are going to be able to do this deal with basically no money down because the seller just wants a few thousand to get the property out of their life, and your buyer is paying you ...

- How To Deal With Creative Lending And The Lenders Behind It
By: peter V | - When it comes to creative lending, you are likely most familiar with the conventional forms of non-conventional real estate investing: the subject-to deal, the lease-option deal and owner financing. Many of the gurus promote these types of real estate deals as a way to get around traditional financing issues like bad credit, no credit, no cash for a down payment and the need for speed in order to save a property from foreclosure. All of these types of deals can be done to good ...

- Buying Foreclosure Properties In Today"s Real Estate Auctions
By: peter V | - Real estate investors have been getting great deals on properties at bank auctions for years. However, in the past decade, the entire nature of the real estate auction has changed dramatically. I remember personally when a real estate auction was a subdued, simple affair with only a few people in attendance and the properties were sold from the courthouse steps. (No, not because Im so old, but because the nature of the game has changed completely in the past 10 years). Now, however, these auc ...

- Creative Real Estate Investing Through Non-traditional Lenders
By: peter V | - As a real estate investor, you are probably pretty clear on the value of having a source of private money and funding. Many real estate investors work very hard to develop relationships with private capital lenders so that they do not have to rely on traditional lenders like banks and mortgage companies. Having a source of private funding enables real estate investors to work quickly to secure good deals and obtain properties that otherwise might be out of reach if they had to wait on traditiona ...

- Bulk Reo Insights Into The Reality Behind Purchased Proof-of-funds Papers
By: peter V | - If you pay attention to real estate investing trends, then you probably already know about Bulk REO Investing. This type of investing is huge right now both literally and figuratively. Bulk REO investing involves buying large numbers of foreclosed properties (Real Estate Owned or REOs) from banks or other lenders. Often, you can get these deals at a steep discount because the lenders have been unable to use the properties to recoup their losses on the loans and are mainly focused just on get ...

- Investing In Foreclosures Successfully In A Changing Real Estate Market
By: peter V | - When I first got started in real estate investing over a decade ago, foreclosure investing was a very different type of real estate strategy than it is today. I would show up at bank auctions with a pretty clear idea of how much money I was willing to spend on a given property. Then, when that property made it to the block, I would maybe compete with one or two other investors if that to get my hands on properties that I believed represented potential profits for me and my business.

- 3 Factors That Can Make Or Break Short Sale Negotiations
By: peter V | - If you have been involved in real estate investing for very long, then you have probably heard of short sales before. A short sale is the term used for a transaction between a lender and a buyer in which the buyer pays a discounted amount for a property and receives the title and the owner of the property is not compelled to go through foreclosure. Everyone wins. The buyer gets a great deal. The seller does not have to go through foreclosure and no longer is owner of the problem property that th ...

- An Introduction To Short Sales
By: peter V | - Short sales are a great way to make money by negotiating with lenders to get discounts on properties. In many cases, you can buy properties for literally half the price of the property, which means that even if you sell at a steep discount, you can generate a great deal of income off of just one property.
As you can imagine, short sales are an extremely popular strategy in real estate investing especially when foreclosure rates are high and lenders have too many properties on their bo ...

- The Perennial Buying Option That Real Estate Investors Often Overlook
By: peter V | - You have probably heard before that the real money in real estate is made when the market is bad. Now, we have to say up front that we count all money as real money. We dont care whether you are making it when times or good or when times are hard. If it is money, then it counts as being real as far as we are concerned.
However, it is true that while fewer people may make money during hard times, those who do generally make a lot of it. This is because especially in real ...

- 3 Keys To Success With Creative Financing
By: peter V | - Creative financing describes any way outside of the traditional home-buying experience that you can buy or sell real estate. However, over the years the term has come to be used largely to indicate atypical types of sales agreements, such as when the seller agrees to set up a payment system with the buyer and finance it themselves (owner-financing), when the buyer takes over the mortgage payments but does not actually assume the mortgage (subject-to financing) or when the buyer pays rent for a p ...
