I coach cash or terms investing
I believe that you need to understand the following types of investing
Wholesaling where you control property with a sale and purchase agreement or option agreement and sell the contract; I believe you won't do well in wholesaling unless you have some cash buyers already
Retailing where you actually buy the property fix up and resell it to a retail buyer; you should have Hardmoney lenders and joint venture partners, cash partners, credit partners before you do retailing
Seller financing which encompasses usually low equity deals. Types include
subject to existing financing or sub to,
lease options where you enter into a lease and option and assign the deal for a fee,
sandwich lease options were you enter into a lease and option and sublease and sub option,
Buy on contract for deed and then lease out,
But free and clear houses on installment sale and lease out,
Buy on wrap around mortgage and then lease out
You make your profit at the purchase so either you have really good terms or really good cash price
I hope that helps

Anyone who has studied joe's course have any recommendations?
Scott you're in Maine and I would go to a major city in Maine like Portland and then go to the Chamber of Commerce and talk to the Chamber president that you need a good mortgage broker for residential loans
That I would use the chamber president's name and call the Mortg broker up and taking him her to lunch
With Dodd Frank a lot of mortgage brokers are worried about lease options so you need to reassure them that you're just trying to get an idea of present borrowing ability if they have the down payment, check DTI if everything else is okay
F ICO is changing to include people with no credit such as paying their phone bill on time, their rent on time, etc
I would write out a written agreement with the broker saying that if the mortgage broker gives a written opinion on a possible borrower they will be compensated a fee for their time and they will be able to originate a home loan and get a commission when the time comes
This is not easy and it may pay for you to get your mortgage brokers license in Maine so that you can do a minor origination on all your time buyers if you're doing a lot of them

Hi @Rob Beland
Buying on terms includes a few things
Subject to existing financing, wraparound mortgages, land contracts, installment sales, etc
No selling on terms includes all the above but you go be really cautious about if the buyer vendee does not pay you how do you get them out?
A wraparound mortgage basically creates a brand-new mortgage it that wraps around the existing financing and it is common in many parts of the country
An example would say that you had an $80,000 mortgage that's worth 100,000
The payment on the 80,000 was 800 a month just talking numbers
The wraparound mortgage we create $100,000 mortgage with a payment that's based on a 30 year amortization of some interest rate
Dodd frank limits the number of deals you can Sell On Terms
Finding a lawyer that understands these and particularly a lawyer that knows what the judge would say if you had a problem with the person in the property to get them out is important
My blog covers these "buying on terms"and Dodd Frank
http://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/3-reiskills-and...
What the biggest thing about Dodd Frank is you can buy all the terms deals all day long from landlords as long as the person you're buying it from is an investor, Dodd Frank is about selling to owner occupants
Pm me if you have questions

Lease Purchase then is much smarter
Lease and Sale and Purchase
Buyer forfeits 3 % if they do not close and get financing, California maximum EMD
