Your job will be to find good deals in your local  area 

in order to

make large sums of cash in a very short period of time


In order to do that you want to have at least 4 or 5 

cash buyers that you can pick up the telephone 

and call at any moment  to buy  deals from 

you subject to verification

To find cash buyers

go to

www.google.com then search for 

www.backpage.com or
www.craigslist.com  or
www.ebayclassifieds.com

look in the real estate section for ads that say

"cash buyers"

write down their contact information 

then call them

tell them you ran across wholesale deals from time to time

and you want to know his/her buying criteria so if the 

next deal meet their criteria you will send  some business 

their way

They will send you their buying criteria so you can structure 

your  next deal to meet their criteria should you choose to do 

that .. 

 buying criteria are a set of requirements.. example 

selling price , loan to value and arv (after repair value)


                                  



NEXT


Get acquainted with 1 or 2 realtors in your local area

Go to 

www.google.com

TYPE ' realtor " and your city in the search box

from the names that come up

call a few of them

tell them you are a wholesale buyer and you are looking 

for sfr and 1-4 units fixers and junkers to buy

leave them your contact phone number and tell them 

to call you when they find something that meet your buying

 criteria

Later we will go over buying criteria in detail



                                      
                                                        


Next

You need a reliable title company to work your deals

We recommend first american title  & escrow company

for title insurance

They are top of the line when it comes to 

insuring your real estate property

first american title company also have  escrow department 

within their company. so you get escrow services as well as 

title insurance from the same company 

under the same roof .. 

how ever this is our recommendation

you may choose your own third party services ...

 you have that option


Next


                           


Motivated sellers ..

 these are the people that you should

spend most of your time looking for

You can find motivated sellers by going to 

www.backpage .com or www, craigslist .org

look in the realestate section for ads that say "motivated

seller" and fsbo  {for sale by owner}

You  can also find them by drive by where the lower price

homes are in your city and write down addresses of homes

that need work.

Place ads   that say " i or we buy  houuses"plus your phone

number on craigslist and in your local news paper

You can also find motiveted sellers by joining 

investors club.

To find investors club

go to www.google.com

then

TYPE "investor club"plus your city in the search box

from the list that show  up select one or two and call 

them

they will give you info over the phone on what you can   

expect if you join their club.

Do not waste your precious time talking to people 

if they are not motivated sellers

But  you may say

how do i tell if my seller is motivated or not?

Well

if you ask your seller how fast they want to sell

and they say 30-90 days

then

they are not motivated

they are  wasting your time

go find another deal where the seller is motivated 

and want to sell

A motivated seller have issues right now and will want 

to sell within 30  days

Since you will be buying these properties in their AS IS 

condition  for all cash, these sellers 

 must be willing to give you a 25 to 40 percent 

discount. 

simply put you are buying a property that 

will have to be rehabilitate to bring it up to market standards

we will go into details what you must  do to repair

 these properties   later in the program 



KNOW the price of properties in your area..and in

certain zipcodes



PAY  close attention to zip codes where cash buyers are

buying properties and make sure your deals are within

their criteria

You can check comparable sales of any area by

using any of the reliable websites listed here

www.realtor.com
www.zillow.com
www.remax.com

Go to any of the website listed above

then

TYPE"address city or zip code " of your motivated 

seller's property  in the search box

The search will provide you with data on sale prices 

and square footage of houses in the immediate area

YOU  will need to look thru this data and pull out the comp

arable sales for the past 6 months for those properties

that are located within a 1/2 a mile radius from your

subject property

YOU will need to have this information in order to do 

your due diligence


Lastly your local county recorder's office is a good place 

to find motivated deals/sellers.

You will find pre foreclosure recording trustee sale 

recording probate and tax sale recordings

This is a good place to find good deals HOWEVER if

you choose to use this  method to find your deals 

you will have to go down to the local county recorders 

office and tell them what you are looking for

They  have  a trained staff that knows the system well 

and will help you to get the information 


we answer all of your question via email

How long will it take to sell your home?
The market has been picking up steam and it’s considered a seller’s

market in California right now, which means you’re more likely to

get top dollar for your property. Yay!

The 60-day estimate is based on data on the average length of time


for a home sale in California.

However, there are a vast number of factors that can impact the

speed at which your property sells…

Factors impacting the speed of a home sale:


Neighborhood Desirability


Availability of Financing


Time of Year


Property Condition


Appraisal Value


Market Inventory


List Price
And that’s just naming a few.

Timeline also varies dramatically based on the overall health of the

real estate market, so what’s true right now may not be true 6

months from now.


That’s why it’s important to keep your finger on the pulse of the

local market to understand outside factors that may impact your

home sale.

Multiple Listing Service:
More commonly known as MLS, the multiple listing service is the

central hub for all active real estate listings, broken down by region.

To access the MLS, you must use an agent or a service.

Contingencies:
Contingencies are specific criteria that must be met in order for the

finalized home sale to be completed. These typically fall into 3

major categories – appraisal, home inspection and mortgage

approval.


Earnest Money:
Earnest money is a deposit made to a seller that shows the buyer’s

good faith in a transaction (to confirm the contract with the seller). It

is typically held jointly by the buyer and seller in a trust or escrow

account.


Assessed Value:
Valuation placed on a property by a public assessor for the

purposes of taxation.

Comparative Market Analysis (CMA)
Also commonly known as comps, CMAs are the best tool to

determine property value. They contrast criteria from recently sold

properties in a neighborhood – such as sale price, house age, size

and square footage.


Appraisal:
A written justification of the price paid for a property, primarily

based on an analysis of comparable sales of similar homes nearby.

Appreciation:
Increase in property value as a result of changes to the local real

estate market conditions, inflation or other causes.

California Law:
Dealing with Disclosures:
California has some of the most comprehensive disclosure

requirements in the country.

Required disclosures force sellers to reveal specific information to

buyers prior to closing. This includes things like house defects (a


leaky roof), information on any deaths that occurred in the

residence and neighborhood nuisances. California also requires

disclosures of potential natural hazards, such as floods,

earthquakes or fires.

There are rules around what types of things you have to disclose

based on a number of factors, so it’s best to work with a


transaction coordinator


to make sure all your bases are covered.

Common Hurdles


Common Hurdles: Be Prepared: As with most things, there are a handful of situations that could pop up and derail your home selling progress. Be proactive by learning how to overcome two of the most common seller hurdles. HURDLE # 1: Slow Buyer Volume To increase buyer traffic, make sure your photos are high quality, your listing description is compelling, you’re consistently marketing your property and your contact info is easy to find. There’s one other thing to consider as well… HURDLE # 2: Price Too Low or Too High If your pricing is off, your ideal buyer may never even your home! Why? Because most real estate list properties based on a desired price range. Once buyers get a good idea of what they’re looking for, they typically search for a home within a pretty narrow range. Be sure to keep that in mind when pricing your property. 14 KEEP CALM AND SELL ON.

measurements and add them together to get your entire
home’s square footage.
