2010 INVESTING IDEAS!


Many have asked me where I get my ideas for the unique investment opportunities I send out. The answer is I find them because I am looking for them for my personal investments. I am an Investor first and a Broker/Realtor second. I share the same opportunities where I invest with you! Do you want to work with a Realtor who rarely ever invests or do you want to work with a licensed Broker who is an active, experienced investor investing his/her own money alongside you in many cases?


Let me tell you about some new opportunities I have found for investment in 2010. I have some unique and creative opportunities to potentially make GREAT RETURNS in even the slowest market!


The current bank lending environment (or lack thereof) has presented some unique opportunities for us as investors. Me and many of the investors reading this have made good money doing select Interim construction loans and Model Home Leaseback Investments with builders. You may not know a lot about either of these very creative ways to make money investing in real estate. I can teach you the pros and cons if you are seeking some new and exciting opportunities to make money in 2010. There is risk but the best news I give you to start the New Year is that my advice and experience is always free!


The two opportunities we are focusing on to start the New Year are:



Model Home Leasebacks - Probably the least known and least troublesome ways to make money in real estate that you have never heard of.


Interim Construction Loans - Perfect for investors who can't qualify for a traditional real estate loan OR simply don't want the hassle of going through the mortgage loan process.


It is important to look beyond the advertising clutter in real estate investing in 2010. Today's advertising mantra for investors is "Foreclosures, REO's, Foreclosures, REO's". I would challenge you not to follow this herd in the coming year and get caught up in a "high maintenance" investment of this type. There are many other creative opportunities to invest without exposing yourself to all the unknown expenses Foreclosures and REO's can bring.


Take a look at some NEW investing niches that are out of the main stream that can provide you higher return investments with good monthly cash flow streams and LIMITED expense risk.


With that said, I wish you a happy and prosperous 2010. Below are some investments we currently have available. Send me a separate email with your interest and I will get you the information about risk and potential returns.


As always, I am available by phone at 972-897-6190.


My motto for 2010 more than ever is: Let's Be Investors Not Landlord's!

WHAT I DO TO MAKE MONEY IN THIS REAL ESTATE MARKET!


Many have asked me what I personally do to make money in this market. Well, here is my secret!


I have a builder that I personally do interim loans with. He pays $1,200 per month for 4 months to do this. These homes are already sold to buyers, they just need to get built. 

Banks simply are not lending to builders in spite of the demand in North Texas.


Here is how it works:


The builder submits draws to you as he builds the home, for example:
1st Draw $29,000
2nd Draw $41,000
3rd Draw $26,000
4th Draw $4,000
$100k Total - Some are $90-$95k


The homes sell for about $150k-$160k typically - so the Loan to Value is good.



If you would like to do this YOU can make $1,200 per month for 4 months and then you are paid back your initial investment and you can turn around and do it again if you like. Rate of return is SUPERB! Remember, these homes are already SOLD!


NOTE:
YOU are in FIRST LIEN position
Secured Note is in Your Name or your company's name
Personal Guaranty from builder - plus corporate guaranty
Deed of Trust in your name or your company's name (LLC or ?)


You will need $90-$100k liquid. If you would like to consider doing this let me know. I can send you the legal documents to review.


If you do not have access to $90-$100k I have other projects where you can invest for less, just let me know.



Homes will be built in Arlington, TX (Home of the Dallas Cowboys) or in Sherman, Texas (Home of Several High Tech Companies).


Let me hear from you!

Investor Wanna be? Think Again About Tenants and Toilets!




Today we begin a series on some unique and perhaps non-traditional real estate investment opportunities. When you think about investing in real estate what is the first thing that pops into your mind? If it is buying a rental home and finding tenants to occupy it then you’re not alone. It’s the way I started and perhaps the way most of the other Realtors on this site got started building their real estate fortune.

I want to challenge you as an investor or potential investor to look at some other options for investment that could save you years of “OJT” and thousands of wasted dollars. Keep an open mind and I promise you will learn something that will make you money and then help you make money easier than ever before.  The goal, if you are interested, is to “bunny hop” the learning curve in real estate investing.  But first, let’s look at why the traditional way to invest in real estate may not work for you.

There are not many joys in the typical “tenants and toilets” style of landlord investing. This is the typical “landlord approach” to getting rich in real estate that you hear about on late night TV infomercials: “Buy a foreclosure, tax sale, short sale, or any distressed property then rehab it, flip it or put a tenant in it, then do it over and over again.” If you have the time, energy and patience it can work well. But what if you have a day job, kids at home and sports to play or need to work out and school events to attend and a life that needs a break or a vacation?


The truth is that buying a traditional rental property is like taking on a second job. You can get property management to handle it but if you are like most investors trying to squeeze every nickel out of their investment then you will manage it yourself. And it does take time, especially if you do it correctly.  I recommend property management in almost all cases to my investors who buy Texas Real Estate, but it does take away a percentage of your profit. And many times you end up managing the property manager anyway so there are times when you must know how to do it yourself. And if you have never done it yourself it can be scary.


Ok Ron, So what are some of the alternatives to the traditional buy it and rent it approach to investing in real estate as there are thousand of opportunities out there. The beauty of real estate investing is that no one has the magic rainbow. There are a 100 ways to buy or sell the same house. One of the best ways I have found for passive investors is the “leaseback investing” approach.  This term may be strange to you but basically it is the sale and immediate lease back of the property from the seller. There are several forms of leaseback investing. We will deal with only one for now, Model Home Leasebacks.

What are Model Home leasebacks? Model home leasebacks in most cases are homes that are occupied and maintained by the builder’s sales staff. They use the home as a tool to sell and showcase their products. The model homes include all the amenities, features and upgrades available by the builder to entice potential buyers to build in their community. Typically, the upgrades can add an additional 20-30% to the base price of a home. You can buy the model home as equipped and then lease it back to the builder for a period of time, usually until the development is completed several years down the road. At the end of this article is a nice video tour of some model home leasebacks that have sold over the past year.



Why model home leasebacks? Hopefully you are seated while reading this because these facts will astound you. With most model home leaseback programs there are no property management fees, no maintenance costs, no repair fees, no tenant turnover, no utility deposits or payments, immediate tenant, reliable rent payments, fully loaded homes at today’s prices, exquisitely maintained home, easy exit strategy, and in some cases…NO TAXES or Home Owner’s Association fees to pay! Is it any wonder why many long distance investors lick their lips when they hear the term “model home leaseback”? If you are looking for a simple way to invest long distance it will be hard to beat model home leasebacks. It’s really a very simple and more secure way to invest in real estate, especially if you are risk averse.


If you have ever taken a pencil to the fees and expenses you incur for a typical rental home over 2 years then you know where most of your cash flow actually flows…right out of your pocket. With model home leasebacks the cash flow you earn is the cash flow you actually keep. Some of the builders also pay taxes and home owner’s association fees in addition to above average market rent. Those deals are rare but are out there if you dig deep enough, or better yet, know someone who has those connections.

Part 2 of this series is coming shortly. If you would like the full series in advance, just email me and I will send the White Paper on Leaseback Investing Secrets. Have a Great Week!
