  Financing Options - Be Creative!

Probably the best way to finance real estate purchases is with OPM - other people's money!  That way you let the property pay for itself and while your own cash supplies are unaffected.  Creativity is often the key for real estate investors.  Experienced real estate investors know how to use a variety of financing options, often combining methods to achieve the most bang for the buck. 

The Traditional and best know route is with the use of banks, credit unions, and other home mortgage companies.  This can be a great was, as it is stable, predictable and works especially well for the buy and hold investor.  Mortgage rates vary, but once the mortgage is finalized, the rates are known and the real estate investor knows his/her numbers. 

However, because of the current mortgage turmoil, traditional lenders have tightened their lending criteria. Most require a 680 credit score or better for approval as well as full documentation of income and debts to be qualified. For those who do qualify, a down payment of at least a 10% will probably be required. If you are able to get approval, now is the time to invest in real estate.

Private Lenders may be a cost effective way to finance your real estate investing.  These lenders are the personal lenders, people with money in low return investments such as bank CDs and savings accounts.  Terms and conditions will vary from lender to lender, depending on that person's comfort level with you and your real estate investment.  Often these lenders fall into the friend and family category.  They may have IRA money they do not need for a while, but need a reasonable return on their investment.

Hard Money Lenders are businesses in the business of lending money.  Terms are often short term with higher points rates higher than traditional loan rates.  The typical real estate borrower presents a higher risk than a bank wants to take.  Many real estate investors also need money for the short term.  The higher points of a hard money loan may actually be cheaper than all the costs banks put into the equation.

As a real estate investor, creativity becomes a critical factor in financing.  Creative financing can be almost anything a buyer and seller agree to in the transfer of real estate.

One of the simplest creative-financing methods is a Seller Carry Back.  This method is a form of owner financing in which the seller agrees to carry the note for your purchase. If the seller owns his/her real estate free and clear you might be able to finance the whole purchase with seller financing. Other times, the seller may still owe part of a mortgage on the property, but may be willing to finance the equity portion. 

Essentially, the seller doesn’t want the property anymore, but also doesn't mind receiving a monthly payment on it. Don't be surprised if the seller wants/needs the balance in 1-5 years.  However, this is a great way to finance a real estate investment as it gives you time to improve the value of the property, to improve the terms of a refinance later. Remember: It's easier to qualify for a refinance loan than a purchase loan.

The subject-to method poses a significant risk to the seller, though it can be a great way to finance a real estate investment quickly.  It will be a short-term solution, due to the fact the seller keeps the loan, but the buyer has title to the property and makes the payments. Most lenders will not be amenable to this arrangement, so title may need to be held in a trust.  Experienced buyers will use this method when they don't want to come up with a down payment and know they can refinance or resell in six months relieve the seller of the liability.

This method is commonly used when buying real estate that in heading into the foreclosure process. at this point in the seller knows he/she will not be making any money on the sale of the property if the lender forecloses, so keeping a foreclosure off the credit report can be beneficial to them. Using this method requires the buyer to be ethical by making the mortgage payments as promised and paying off the loan as soon as possible. 

Finally, if you can't find any other way to finance a real estate investment, you may want to try a lease option.  Essentially, you lease the real estate from the seller and have an option to purchase within a specified length of time.  You need to be sure the lease allows you to renovate or rehab the property, giving you the opportunity to increase the value of the real estate, facilitating either a future sale or permanent financing.

Tips For Buying Real Estate With Nothing Down

Attending real estate networking meetings is a good way to find out about real estate investing.  There are investors who are succeeding and those who are not.  A wide variety of real estate topics are usually presented throughout the year.  I personally belong to several clubs and have learned a lot about what to do and more importantly had the chance to learn from others mistakes and misfortunes.

Phyllis Rockower runs the Real Estate Investors Club of Los Angeles – REIC of LA (http://www.realestateclubla.com/).  She has been a real estate investor for over 20 years.  One of her areas of expertise is buying real estate with nothing down.

Here are 13 of her creative tips for accomplishing purchasing real estate.

1. Find the real estate deal, tie it up with a contract containing a weasel clause, and assign your rights under contract to another real estate investor for cash.

 2. Find the real estate deal, tie it up, and get a partner to put up the money.  You do all the work and you and your partner share 50/50.

 3. Find the real estate deal, tie it up, arrange for a long closing, find a real estate buyer, and do a simultaneous closing.

 4. Find the real estate deal; use your credit cards to pull the cash needed for the down payment and fix ups.  (Get a home depot credit card for repairs).

5. Find a motivated seller with no equity.  They will give you the keys to their real estate.  Find someone to take over your real estate deal for a few thousand.  People who don’t have to qualify will pay 10% more than market to get a house.

6. Find a motivated seller with a free and clear real estate.  Trade your fix up skills for the down payment and get the real estate owner to hold the balance.

7. Find a motivated seller with free and clear real estate who needs some but not all cash.  Borrow the money needed for the down payment from a hard money lender.  Most hard money lenders will lend you 50% loan to value with no credit or qualifying.

8. Find a motivated seller who has real estate in need of fix up and is behind on credit card payments.  Instead of giving them cash, offer to pay off the credit cards.  You can then negotiate a discount on these amounts.  Use your credit cards to pay off these debts.

 9. Find out what the seller needs the money for.  It may be something you can charge on your credit cards.

10. Control the real estate with a lease/option: Sublease the real estate to cover the payments and then sell your option or do a simultaneous closing.

11. If you have to put up a down payment, and the owner is holding the mortgage, call the money advance payments.  That way you won’t have to come out of pocket for a while.

12. Make the seller your partner.  If there is a lot of equity and a second mortgage on the real estate it would give you a negative cash flow and you don’t want to give the seller the cash, make him your partner.  Tell him you will split the equity with him when the deal actually closes to the new buyer (not you).

13. Get a straight option from the seller at a discounted price and then re-sell.  Tell the seller they can even list with a realtor, and just exclude you from the listing agreement.

Do you get the message that you need a MOTIVATED seller of real estate?  Usually this creativity will not work with a realtor.  You need to deal with the real estate owners directly.

Modification News April 15, 2010
Reported by Digital news April 2010

Digital News Report – This week the Obama Administration explained how the new version of the loan modification program will work. The plan is to use $75 million of money already set aside by the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) to help families that are “Hardest-Hit” by the recession.

Homeowners that owe more than their house is worth are targeted for this program. The government will also use another $600 million for “innovative measures”. The unemployed can get a 3 to 6 month suspension of their mortgage payments

While there are 10 to 12 million homeowners in trouble, the goal is to help 3 million to 4 million borrowers avoid foreclosure by the end of 2012. So far the program has only helped 170,000 homeowners but the banks have been aggressively modifying loans over the past three months. If the trend continues the Administration may meet their goal.

Homeowners need to be underwater and owe 115 percent more than their house is worth. Initially the loan will be temporarily modified to keep the homeowner above-water but if the payments are made on-time for three years the modification can become permanent.

The loan modification service is free. Servicers are paid by the government, but you will need to choose one that has been approved for the program. There are incentives for the banks to modify the loan as well.
