    Flipping America 626, Note Investing, with Fred Moskowitz

    Flipping America 625, Creative Deal Structures with Wendy Patton
    If you want to make money on a flip, you must buy at a discount. Many sellers can’t afford or don’t want to accept a low cash offer for their home. When you understand the possibilities with creative deal structures, you’ll be able to present multiple options to sellers and greatly increase your chances of getting a deal done. Wendy Patton is joining us today. At the age of 21, Wendy started investing in real estate. Like most young adults she was single, broke, thinking “Corporate America” was her only future. She graduated from college, was hired for that corporate America “dream job”, but was $20,000 in debt. She found real estate investing and realized that Corporate America wasn’t the golden path to what she wanted. When Wendy began investing in real estate, she didn’t fully understand her financing options, so she started purchasing real estate investment properties on her credit cards. In her own words: “At that time I didn’t know of any better way to invest. I did not have the assistance or availability of coaches and instructors. I wish I knew then what I know now about investing in real estate and creative seller financing. By the time I was in my early twenties, I had more than $200,000 on my credit cards (for my real estate deals)! I then got married, had twins, got divorced and found myself to be a single mother, all within a short time span. Over the next few years I accumulated more properties while working full-time in the corporate world. I needed to make a living, and make it fast to pay off the credit card debt I had accumulated. I came to specialize in creative seller financing techniques like: Lease Options, Subject-Tos, Land Contracts and other seller financing. So why these techniques? Because like many of you, I didn’t have the money or the credit I needed to buy in a conventional way. Now, with the lending industry the way that it is, most real estate investors can’t buy properties without being creative. These techniques are crucial for today’s real estate investor.

    Flipping America 619, Slow Flips with Scott Jelinek
    In the end it’s all about cash flow. Flipping is a business that requires your time and presence. Landlording comes with its own set of challenges. How about something that provides cash flow from real estate, but is truly mailbox money? Since 2019 I have been buying super inexpensive houses that need a little work and selling them as-is with seller financing. I’m talking about buying for around $10,000 and selling for $40,000. This model was the rationale for forming the Flipping America Buyers Club. By 2022, with no bank foreclosures for 2 years due to the pandemic, inventory was running low and prices were going up, so it was time to re-think the process. Due to the short pay-back schedule on the previous model, the numbers just didn’t work any longer. So I began to look at the alternatives. The idea is fairly simple. If I can buy a house at a substantial discount and sell it with financing for close to a retail price with seller financing, my actual return will be higher than the interest rate I’m charging. For example. Let’s say you buy a house for $30,000. If you were to sell it for $30,000 and charge 9% interest, your return would be…9%. What if you sold it for $50,000? Your return on that $30,000 investment goes up to around 15%. So I tried a few of these and guess what? It works! And there are buyers out there. Then I found a guy who has been doing this for years - he has even written a book on the subject. His name is Scott Jelinek and today we are going to talk about this fantastic way to make income in real estate.
