Case Study: Half Million Dollar La Jolla Condo For Only $30 Out Of Pocket

This past Tuesday night I held my Foreclosure Master’s Coaching Club monthly call.  For only $7.95 to get started (and then a measly $49.95 per month thereafter) there’s no question that it’s the best value for those looking for help with their real estate investing business.  On Tuesday’s call I reviewed my day, which consisted of:

1. A BPO for another short sale deal that we’re working on, where I met the appraiser (who was actually a W2 salaried employee of Bank of America) who told me that my offer price of $460,000 “sounds about right for this property” (SMILE!).  During Tuesday night’s call I also reviewed some basic but important things that you have to do ANYTIME you go on a BPO appointment.

2. The fact that we closed on a half million dollar condo in La Jolla, CA, and to close the deal I came out of pocket $30. This is a renovation/flip deal in which I have a partner on the deal.

3. LIVE Q&A and answering of questions by people (note that if you want to join my Foreclosure Masters Coaching Club, you get to chat with me live, 1-on-1 about your real estate investing business. This is the last time I’ll mention it’s only $49.95 per month. You can get a trial membership for only $7.95 here: www.BestForeclosureSystem.com/oto)

I decided to post the audio replay to the this month’s coaching call, because it was full of great information, and I want you to see how you can personally get on the phone with me once a month and get your real estate investing questions answered.  You can listen to this month’s training call here.

On the coaching call this past Tuesday night I outlined (VERY QUICKLY) how we structured the La Jolla deal, and then answered a few questions. However it dawned on me that a LOT of people in our community (even the ones who aren’t in my Foreclosure Masters Coaching club) might want to learn more about how this deal was structured, and how I can close on a $500,000 property with only $30 out of pocket (and NOT flip it right away, but hold it so we can do the renovations and make a $125,000-140,000 profit on the backend).

Oh yeah, and I’m not doing ANY of the work related to the rehab (my partner is doing it ALL).

So what I’m going to do is host a special teleseminar (audio only) next week to break down this deal.

Here’s what we’re going to cover on this special “Case Study” teleseminar:

- You’ll get to meet the person who FLIPPED the deal to me.  (I was actually the “CASH” or “C” buyer on this deal).
- He’s going to break down how he found it, how he negotiated it, and how he flipped it to me.
– He’ll share with you why I was the PERFECT buyer for this deal.
- I’ll share with you how I got the cash for this deal (hint: private money).
– I’ll tell you how I structured the deal so I only had to put $30 into it.
- I’ll let you know how I structured the partnership with the person who is going to do 100% of the rehab work on the property.
– I’ll share with you some killer resources and ideas for how you can raise private money (for your own deals).
- I’ll talk about how having access to private money TOTALLY changes the way you can approach real estate investing, making offers, and closing on deals that you never could have in the past.

All of the call-in details can be found here: http://instantteleseminar.com/?eventid=18763446

Make sure to add this to your calendar. You can put questions in the chat box on the teleseminar page, and we’ll also take LIVE Q&A questions about how we structured this deal on the call as well.

You’re Invited To My [PAID] December Coaching Call

Posted by justin_lee | Posted in Uncategorized | Posted on 20-12-2010

Hi

As a special holiday gift I’m inviting you to my December
coaching that only my paid coaching students have access to.

It’s tomorrow night, Tuesday December 21st at 5pm PST/8pm EST,
and you can register for FREE right here:

https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/662526794

I’m going to share with a new "secret strategy" of getting &
finding short sale deals that no one else ever has access to.

In fact this strategy has allowed me to:

- Get short sale approvals at 30% of ARV (no, that is NOT a typo)
- Compete with NO other buyers, real estate agents or investors
- Have the homeowner thanking me for helping them (instead
of viewing me as someone trying to get a cheap property
from them)

Register for December’s coaching call now:

https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/662526794

I’ll even have a copy of the short sale approval letter, and
walk you through exactly how we flipped this property for a
$40,000+ profit (it needed repairs but we never did a thing
to the property!)

You might be wondering, "why the heck is he letting me
attend a paid coaching call for free?", and to be fair,
that’s a great question.

And there’s a few different answers:

1.  This information is POWERFUL and should be shared with
the ENTIRE REI MarketingTips community (it can make 2011 your
best year EVER!)
2.  I’m shamelessly trying to get you ADDICTED to my
Foreclosure Masters Coaching Club, which is simply the best
value for money (only $7.95 for a 30 day test drive) online
today for real estate investors who want to learn more…

3.  It’s going to be live, with no replay…so if you want
to join us, you’ll need to set aside some time tomorrow night.

You can join us at 5pm PST/8pm EST by registering here:

https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/662526794

I hope you can join me.  It’s easily the best coaching call
of the year and I can’t wait to share this strategy with you.

I’ll "see" you on the webinar tomorrow night,

Justin Lee

It’s an interesting theory/debate. I’d love your comments on it below. Enjoy the video:

60 Minutes On Strategic Defaults

Posted by justin_lee | Posted in foreclosure, Freddie Mac, preforeclosure, real estate investing, short sales, Strategic Default, video | Posted on 10-05-2010

Did you see CBS’s 60 Minutes last night?  They did a piece on “Strategic Defaults”.  Here is the 12 minute news piece in case you missed it (my thoughts on this below):


Watch CBS News Videos Online

So what are the perils of strategic defaults from the investor’s perspective?

First, you should NEVER suggest to your prospects to stop making payments.  EVER.  Of course, once someone decides to no longer make mortgage payments, and they are already late, then by all means I would engage them about a short sale.

Second, I would strongly encourage you to educate people who are considering just “walking away” on the numerous advantages of a short sale over this strategy.  I actually wrote a blog post about this about a year ago, that you can read here.

Third, you need to be aware of the potential allegations of fraud when working with a strategic default.  Freddie Mac recently came out with an article titled “A Perspective On Strategic Defaults”.  This goes back to point #1, which is you should NEVER be telling a homeowner to default on their mortgage.  My friend and colleague Ron Ballard also has come great insight on this topic on his blog.  And my friends at Old School Title have suggested that investors should start asking for a copy of a homeowner’s credit report to ensure that they short sale they are working is not a plan for a strategic default.

In closing, I would think that we are going to start seeing more strategic defaults.  What I do find interesting, however, is the notion of “just walking away”.  To me, this seems silly, to let your home go into foreclosure, instead of finding a short sale buyer.  I understand that some people don’t want the disturbance of potential buyers looking at their property, but this to me seems a small price to pay in exchange for only having a short sale, and not a foreclosure, on your credit report for the next 7 years.

I would love to read your comments below on this very controversial topic.  Please remember to let us know if you’re addressing it coming from the point of view of an investor, a homeowner, or someone else.

Short Sale Panic?

Posted by justin_lee | Posted in Freddie Mac, preforeclosure, real estate investing, Short Sale Flips, short sales | Posted on 19-04-2010

After a very fun weekend up in Vancouver, I was catching up on some emails last night before I had to get up early to head to the airport this morning.

I was sent an email about a Freddie Mac update on their website that apparently has put a lot of people into a panic. Naturally, I did some more research online, and found that my good friend Ron Ballard had taken the time to eloquently summarize the many problems he found with the Freddie Mac website page.

Incidentally, as Ron notes in his blog post, the Freddie Mac update actually occurred on April 12th.

So why all of the panic all of sudden?

I think that the best advice I can give anyone is to take a deep breath.  I have seen a number of “emergency webinars” scheduled for this week, and if you can attend them, by all means, do so.

I’m going to wait a few days and then let the dust settle.  I actually spoke to Ron on the phone a few hours ago and he and I will be chatting later this week.  We’ll do a summary for you so that you can get the key, salient points of the what is going on without committing to an entire webinar.

As for me, it’s business as usual.  In fact, we have already picked up 2 new files this week, and we have 2 big meetings with other well known San Diego attorneys this week to discuss strategic partnerships.

As soon as I have more concrete information about what is going on, I’ll be sure to pass it along to you.  For now, take a deep breath, relax, and go out and find some more deals.

Oh yes, and be sure to attend my Debt Settlement webinar on Wednesday evening, April 21st, at 6pm PST/9pm EST.  You’ll be amazed at how you can quickly and easily build a new revenue stream from debt settlement, and it doesn’t involve buying a single property.

A Short Sale & Loan Modification Video That Should Get Your Blood Boiling

If you’re working on a deal with Indy Mac, or you’re curious about lender buyouts and the FDIC really work, watch the short video below:

Feel free to leave a comment, I’d love to know what you think.  For me, in a word, I’d describe it as “sickening” (especially knowing how Indy Mac has rejected certain short sale offers)
