2009/09/21 :: CT REIA Monthly Meeting with Lou Brown – Grant Money Secrets to Selling Fast

Grant Money Secrets for Selling Fast

Guest Speaker: Lou Brown

Thanks to the “stimulus package” and other, little known grant money, it’s EASY to turn just about anybody into a buyer with a fistful of cash—even when they think they’re “broke”!

Lou Brown and his students have been using these methods to sell houses in days—not weeks or months—and collect big down payments straight from the government. In fact, Lou has collected over $100,000 this year from this “Limited time” opportunity, and is now ready to show you how to do the same.

You’ll find out:

• How to collect big checks from buyers before they even buy — and how to guide your prospects through this process, ’cause THEY don’t even
  know About it
• How to get access to government grants that your competition hasn’t even heard of
• How to get massive, passive income AND cash upfront, with no management hassles or ownership responsibilities

Louis Brown is a 30+ year veteran of the real estate business, and has done commercial, residential, and paper deals. He lives and works in Atlanta, Ga.

2009/09/03 :: Real Estate Rehab Subgroup and Ribbon Cutting Ceremony

September 3rd, 2009
68 Connecticut Ave
New London, CT
http://www.ctreia.com/events.php?a=v&i=197

CTREIA Member Jay Feldman has just completed the renovation of a 3-family house in New London. Come find out how he purchased the property, what he renovated, and how the rehab process worked out for him. Then apply his experience to your real estate investing career!

This Rehab Subgroup is part of a Ribbon Cutting ceremony with the Chamber of Commerce.

Here is the story
Previous Mortgage: $325,000
Short Sale: Phoenix Solutions negotiated a sale price of $56,000 cash, no contingencies.
Rehab cost: About $150,000 (Still adding it up)

Work performed: This property had extensive water damage. Jay and his crew gutted the entire structure, replaced the roof (including the sheathing).

It used to have two 2-bedroom and one 3-bedroom  apartments; now it has three 3-bedrom apartments with a combined living/kitchen/dining area. Building is now totally insulation, has replacement windows, all new plumbing and electrical. Lot has been landscaped for minimal maintenance but still has curb appeal.

This project took longer then Jay wanted and cost more than planned but it is now the pride of the block and with the 2 houses he owns next store (which are in the process of being rehabbed), he has totally transformed the neighborhood.

Why You Will Love Doing Short Sales by Jeff Kaller

Why You Will Love Doing Short Sales
written by Jeff Kaller

Negotiating Short Sales is a great way to supplement your income, or even replace your full-time job with a more lucrative and less time-consuming alternative. But the unlimited potential income is just one of many reasons that you’re going to love doing short sales. Here are some other reasons that you may not yet have considered:

1. The “Win-Win-Win” Situation
When you work with a lender to find an acceptable compromise on a price for a distressed property, you not only are obtaining a great investment property for yourself, you’re also helping a distressed homeowner move on with their life without the burden of a foreclosure on their credit and their mind and helping a lender recoup money that they otherwise might have had to wait months or even years to recover – if they ever recovered it at all! Of course, the investment property for you is the driving motivation here, but the other aspects aren’t so bad either. The other two parties may not thank you every time (if ever), but you are helping them both make the best of a bad situation, and you should feel better about that the more deals you do.

2. You’re Solving Other People’s Problems
And what’s more, you’re doing it quickly, efficiently and effectively! Obviously, if a person has just agreed to a short sale, their mortgage is not their only problem, but once that particular problem is resolved, their stress-load is ten’s of thousands – if not hundreds of thousands – of dollars lighter. And that relief can spur them into the next stage of their life where they’ll be able to clean up their messes and start over fresh – and all this without the taint of a foreclosure on their credit.
