Success in a real estate business depends on good transactional engineering. You must be able to handle any seller situation and choose the best exit strategy. Whenever you buy a house subject-to that needs a lot of work, don’t ever hand out money. The only time we consider doing so is when you want to help the seller move out of the house!

In this episode, learn how to approach sellers who: have private loans, are behind on payments and are in foreclosure, and those who want cash to cover the work that needs to be done in their house.

Hear how to buy a subject-to in bankruptcy. Discover how to approach banks in regard to the reinstatement of loans for prospects with homes in foreclosure. We discuss how to buy as-is on terms and sell on terms. Be aware of the risks and responsibilities of trustees on land trusts.

Finally, gain skills on how to do settings and action plans in Mojo to follow up with leads.
