What are these techniques and how can I apply them? My mentor Trace Trajano provides brief explanations regarding these techniques.
Rent to own
In rent to own you buy a property and then you sell it to a tenant/buyer. You ask for a downpayment (more precisely known as the “non-refundable option consideration) which gives your buyer the right to buy the house for a certain price at a certain time in the future. Meanwhile you get to collect rent from the tenant/buyer which is higher than the mortgage and expenses you pay out.
The nice thing about rent to own on an existing property is you get money real quick. I’ve leased houses as quickly as 2 weeks and I love the good upfront downpayment I receive. If you structure it right, you should make money every month as well. I can usually structure rent to own deals with no money upfront and I don’t buy them from foreclosure auctions - contrary to some so-called gurus will tell you.
The only downside of rent to own is you still have to deal with tenants. And sometimes, no matter how good you are at pre-screening tenants, you still end up with tenants from hell or professional tenants. If you don’t have a good cash reserve, DON’T DO RENT TO OWN - again, contrary to some guru will tell you.
Retailing
In retailing, you buy a house cheap, then you fix it and then re-sell it. You get a lot more cash than rent-to-own but it takes several months to get the house sold. You have to know what you’re doing - how to estimate repairs, how to manage contractors and you have to familiarize yourself with selling properties to end-buyers or owner-occupants. Getting financing for end-buyers or retail buyers can be difficult specially in todays’ market.
The downside of retailing is that if you don’t have your systems for estimating repairs, managing contractors, selling and getting financing for buyers set up, you CAN lose money. For example, if you don’t sell a house in 6 months, chances are you will lose money on a retail deal. Why? No matter how cheap you buy a property, every 1 month it remains unsold is profit you will not recover forever. If you don’t have good cash reserves and you’re not a hands-on, detail oriented person, DON’T DO RETAILING either.
Wholesaling
This is my favorite strategy. I don’t care what your experience is. I don’t care how much money you have. You have to learn wholesaling and have it as part of your investing tools. Why and what is wholesaling? Wholesaling is nothing more than putting a property under contract and then, you sell your contract to another buyer for $3,000, $5,000 sometimes $10,000 more than what you’re going to pay for. One of my students is working on a deal right now in which she is putting the house for $1.4 Million and she has a buyer lined up for $1.8 Million. I am raising the capital for her.
With these strategies, it is possible to make money in real estate with no money and no risks. Currently, wholesaling strategy is what I am applying. This gives me ways to build capital for better and bigger investment in the future.
