Is Flipping Illegal?

Posted on March 26, 2013 by

I regularly get phone calls asking me “Do you do Flips?” and my response is always the same: If done correctly I am willing to do a Flip. While many people, even some lawyers will tell you that any Flip is illegal, in fact there are legal ways to do Flips in Georgia.

The simplest way is when everyone in the transaction is using cash. If the A to B closing is cash and the B to C closing is also cash, then a Flip transaction is not illegal.  Even if you used the funds from the B to C closing to fund the A to B closing, you are all right in an all cash transaction. Disclosure is still generally a good idea. A lot of buyers are having their own attorneys review the title exams or a title commitment. They then will freak out when they see that the B seller is not on title. Let your C buyer know “I will be buying this property on the same day,” and you will save yourself a lot of trouble in the long run. You are not required to disclose your purchase price. I will suggest as a rule of thumb making more than 10% may cause hard feelings. Remember that your customer today may buy more houses from you if you deal with them openly and directly. Read More→

We had a great May Meeting last night at the W Hotel in Dunwoody. Attendance was high, participation was high and the energy was high! We had a great panel discussion with 3 attorneys (John Maurer, Fred Cross & Doug Shaddix) as well as 1 CPA (Eric Nicoll). They answered many excellent questions from the audience and now serve as a valuable, ongoing source of professional advice for our members and guests.

We also had a really fun “meeting after the meeting” at the Tilted Kilt Perimeter. Attendance was so high, we overwhelmed the wait staff, as we networked late into the night. Many did not leave until they turned the house lights on.

Atlanta REIA is helping make real estate investing fun and profitable once more for both new and seasoned investors. We want to thank all of our volunteers, members, guests and panelists who made it such a great night! We look forward to seeing you all the next Main Meeting and Late Nite Networking or at a subgroup meeting soon! Read More→

Atlanta REIA Main Monthly MeetingOur next Atlanta REIA Main Meeting is on May 2nd at the W Hotel Atlanta Perimeter starting at 5:30 PM. Because of our high attendance, this meeting is the perfect opportunity for you to get together and network with vendors and other real estate professionals; participate in our Speed Marketing Session to promote your properties or business; catch up on what’s happening and coming soon at Atlanta REIA; and to hear and learn from some of the best real estate experts in the industry. If you are a serious, active real estate investor or professional, this is the one meeting of the month you don’t want to miss.

Because our Main Meeting is our “Member’s Main Meeting”, we take member feedback for our meetings very seriously. This is one of the reasons our meetings are so well attended. We are constantly asking our members what they would like to see, hear or do at our main meeting and we have consistently been getting these two requests that we are fulfilling this month:

Question #1: “Can we have a town hall style discussion with real estate industry experts in addition to the keynote speaker presentations we already have?”

Expert Legal Panel DiscussionAnswer #1: YES! On May 2nd, we are having an Expert Panel Discussion with 3 Attorneys who are all real estate investor friendly, who know GA law inside and out and will help keep you compliant with the ever changing rules and regulations such as the SAFE Act, MARS Rule, etc and keep you out of legal trouble. We are also having a Certified Public Accountant sit on the panel who will help you earn and keep more money by saving you money in taxes. Our Expert Panel will include:

Question #2: “Can we go to the Tilted Kilt for the meeting after the meeting?”

Tilted KiltAnswer #2: YES, ABSOLUTELY! Atlanta REIA volunteer, Lee Budden, is making arrangements with the Tilted Kilt Perimeter located at 1155-B Mount Vernon Highway in Atlanta (about 1/2 file from W Hotel) to accommodate as many of our members and guests as possible for the Late Nite Networking Meeting After the Meeting on May 2nd at 9:30 PM until late. We hope you will come eat, drink and network with us until late into the nite!

Avoid Agreement for Deed in GeorgiaA lot of investors have come to me asking about agreement for deeds. Apparently they have been to seminars or heard from fellow investors that they are a great way to transfer property while still holding title. In Florida, this is certainly the case. Florida Courts specifically recognize Agreements for Deed and has legal procedures that make the use of that document smooth.  In addition, Florida is a Judicial Foreclosure state and Agreements for Deed allow you to avoid the lengthy foreclosure process in Florida and simply evict the prospective owners for non-payment just as you would evict a tenant here in Georgia. However, here in Georgia, such documents are not given official legal recognition and we have a Non-Judicial Foreclosure process. These two reasons make Agreements for Deed impractical in our state.
