Do you want to get started in Real Estate Investing? Wholesaling is a great way to get started since it’s a win-win-win deal for all those involved. You find an unwanted property, put it under contract to buy from the seller, then sell it immediately to a cash buyer. The seller gets rid of an unwanted property that needs repairs, and the buyer gets a property that they can fix and flip or rent out. The money you make in the middle between your buy price and your sales price is a nice paycheck for you!
Wholesaling is a great way to generate quick cash while learning today’s highly competitive real estate market, making contacts in the business, and building your cash buyers list. You can get started without using your credit, you don’t need a lot of cash, and you won’t take big risks when you do it right. Build a good name for yourself as a wholesaler, and you’ll have no shortage of cash buyers eagerly waiting to buy your good deals!
Join us this month at the Wild West Real Estate Event as we excitedly bring you a powerful panel of very mature, knowledgeable, seasoned investors who are ACTIVELY wholesaling single family houses in the Atlanta market, right here, right NOW! The Panel will be composed of Rock Shukoor, Peter Vekselman and Vince Ohasiligwo and is being hosted by Leslie Mathis.
If quick cash with little risk sounds great to you, then you definitely want to attend the Wild West Meeting this month!

For the real estate investor, knowing how to capitalize on what others commonly overlook can be the key to success. And to that end, probate real estate has become a profitable investing niche for many successful investors.
Probate is the governing process for the distribution of a person’s assets after they pass away. Many investors stay away from probates because of their lack of education. This breeds fear—a fear of the unknown. However, a fear of the unknown is the same as going into a dark house. If you turn the light on, the fear goes away.
Years of television, movies and the media have established the belief that if one goes to law school, that individual knows all there is to know about the law. But that isn’t the case. If your neighbor is a brain surgeon and your child falls out of a tree and breaks his arm, would you take him to your neighbor or to the emergency room? Just like doctors have specialties so do lawyers. However, very few would specialize in probate. Instead, they specialize in personal injury, corporate law, tax law or something more traditional. Attorneys usually take one probate course in law school… estates and wills. As a result, the majority of the attorneys of record that are handling probate cases are doing so because they hand-led other matters for the deceased, such as, divorce, corporate matters, traffic tickets-etc. Probate is not their area of expertise.

Existing Loan Stays In Place – No Liability To You!
“In order to carry a positive action we must develop here a positive vision.” ~ Dalai Lama
A Subject-To deal simply means that you get the deed/title to a property and take control over the property. The existing loans stay in place in the original homeowner’s name, negating the liability to the purchaser. The mortgage is not being paid off through a Subject-To contract transaction, just taken over by the purchaser. As long as the purchaser of a Subject-To deal makes the mortgage payment to the existing mortgage lender, there are no consequences to either party. However, if the purchaser stops making the payments on the mortgage, the seller’s credit will be damaged.
Most sellers are in a situation where they may have to relocate quickly, have no equity in the home and just “want out,” or are about to go into foreclosure and want to save their credit. These folks are motivated to sell on a Subject-To deal to get the payments caught up (or maintained) and stay on time to help their credit.
One reason you would purchase on Subject-To is to utilize a seller’s lower interest rate than that is on the market at the time. For instance, if the market rate is 7% and a seller has a 5% fixed rate, the 2% difference can make big difference in your monthly payment. You are able to purchase the home in a 7% market at 5% interest! For instance: Read More→
Last month I talked about how I created a near disaster for my family because I got too big for my britches and thought I could buy 100 houses in one year when I truly was not prepared to undertake a monumental task that large that has so many tentacles I had no idea I had to deal with.
I now realize that every one of these people provide a service I desperately needed if I had any chance of buying anywhere near 100 houses in any year. Without the services of these people there would be no way I could have achieved my goal of buying 100 houses in any year
Each of the ten deals I did in that one-week period were good deals and bought at prices that would have given us a good profit. I had bought each of the ten properties with Hard Money loans from local private money lenders who knew and trusted me. Because I couldn’t get the repairs completed, I quickly ran out of the money I had borrowed in a very short period of time. To keep my name good with my lenders, I had to take out personal loans to make the individual monthly payments for each property that was sitting empty and not bringing in any money. I had to borrow money I needed quickly to make those monthly payments. It didn’t take long for me to realize I was out of money. I was scared to death I wouldn’t be able to continue to fund these empty houses and ruin my name and reputation with the lenders. Read More→
