by Richard Warren | November 16, 2009
Thumbnail image for Are You Really a Real Estate Investor?

At a small lunchtime gathering of real estate investors last week someone made an interesting comment.

How to Close REO Wholesale Deals (Part 5 of 5): Using a Land Trust

by Stephani Davis | October 8, 2009

Today I am bringing you the final post in my five part series where I have explained the various methods available to wholesale REO deals and get around the “No Assignment” clause that most banks include in their addenda.

So far, I’ve discussed simultaneous closings (my preferred method), double closings, using a quitclaim deed, and using an LLC.

Using a Land Trust to Wholesale

In this post I will be talking about using a Land Trust to get your REO wholesale deals to the closing table.  This strategy is similar to the LLC method that I discussed in last week’s post; in both instances, you will not be selling the actual property to your end buyer, but rather, the LLC or the Land Trust which owns the contract to purchase the property.

If you decide to wholesale your deals in this manner, you will be making your offer to the bank in the name of a Land Trust (which you will create once your offer has been accepted), and signing the offer as the Trustee of the Land Trust.

How To Make $70,000 Off A Real Estate Wholesale Deal

by Jason Hanson | September 16, 2009

I’m currently working on my longest deal ever. So far it’s been about eight months in the making. Let me show you how this deal evolved so you can learn how to make $70,000…with only a few hours worth of work.

About eight months ago one of my partners got a lead from a guy who owns a beachfront condo in Virginia Beach, VA. It’s a gorgeous condo in perfect condition. The owner is an “eccentric” individual who travels a lot and didn’t want to have to deal with the property anymore.

I met with this owner twice in person to negotiate the deal. At first I thought it was going to be an awesome lease option deal. The mortgage balance was relatively low and the place could be rented out for $3,000 a week during the peak season. My partner and I were looking at over a thousand dollars a month in cash flow.
