The question is why this is so very important to us and why has no one spoken about it? Here goes from a non tech person.

The utility allows filing of all documents in one place. Let’s take single properties. Imagine a hanging file with various paper folders. Each hanging file has a property identifier and the paper folders could be marked 1. Tenant’s, 2. Expenses, 3. Insurance, 4. Mortgages/Loans, 5. Contract/Deed/Closing and 6. Pictures and Photographs.

All of these are useful when out in the field and can be accessed from practically any device. The important part is being able to access the photographs at any time. It is these selfsame photographs that are going to be used for A. Advertising, B. Move-in condition confirmation and C. Move out confirmation of condition.

What this means is an easy and painlesss way move to a paperless and more importantly mobile office.

Eddie Speed’s


Investor Stages – Where Are You?I had wasted hours of time being confused and by perusing the incorrect strategy more than once, not only with a specific property, but more importantly, when not being clear in my mind about the different stages of my investment career.

When starting out all one sees is a huge amount of confusing information. How does to get into property? Where do to money to get started? I feel so fearful about making offers.

How does one get a property under contract for less than 65% of the after repair value (ARV)?

Added to all this, is the conflict within one's mind about buying property to hold and generate cash flow or sell immediately for instant cash.

So let's have a look and see if there is a natural progression to the development of a typical successful investor.

First off and easiest way is to start is driving for dollars.

Find the buildings, put them under contract, and sell them to an experienced rehabber or investor. The goal here is to make fast cash to help build your business. And that we shall call wholesaling.

Once you have a cash hoard and you know how to generate funds from various sources it is relatively simple to move into the area of rehabilitation of broken properties. The strategy is not for the faint of heart. One has to deal with all sorts of things including contractors who may or may not be reliable. One has to understand there is an inherent conflict between what you need and what the contractor needs. You need the least lowest price, the contractor needs more money to live and he needs cash right now! Contractors are notoriously bad at doing/controlling their own budget. If they were good at doing their budgets, the contractor would be doing what you're doing. Logic 101.

The upside of this stage in the development cycle is often where we make the most ready cash per transaction.

We have now rehabilitated a building and we have choices.

You may elect to as I alluded to the previous paragraph, sell on the open market or turn this property into a keeper. The keeper by definition will generate an income over a period of years with the possibility of great appreciation in value sometime in the future. Often this requires a clear understanding of where you are in the market and we intend to be in the near and long‐term future. To illustrate the point, if you are in your 20s you do not want to retire, collecting keeper property is not that important.

Experience tells us that in our 20s and 30s we need a much higher cash flow simply to live and pay for our families. Later in life, one's personal maintenance costs seem to be reduced and steady monthly income becomes a high priority.

Running on from this last thought, I come to the concept of “subject to” property acquisition. Many courses have been written about this way of doing business.,

My recommendation is to spend a long time learning which one of these is going to work for you.

The issue is not getting the properties, but draw your

attention the what happens if and when the person you have put in to take over the responsibility, fails to meet his/her obligation. You absolutely do not need to be caught in a legal quagmire therein the buyer and seller turn to you to remedy the inevitable financial fallout. It is my view that you really need to be hugely experienced and understand the implications of doing this type of business.

It would be far better to partner with an experienced investor until such time as you fully understand the ins and outs.

As a warning, be very aware there are some attorneys who sell a specific brand of “subject to” and they may not be working in your best interests.

And now we get to the really profitable side of the business, and this should not be attempted by anyone until they really know what they're doing, they are exceptions of course.

What we are talking here about is the financing of property, is the creation of notes. We buy the property first and then sell and take back the financing.

You will be the bank.

You will be buying good older properties at huge discounts and then selling them for higher price by providing the financing.

Let us itemize the stages here a. become a wholesaler b. become a rehabber c. become a landlord d. become a bank

================================================

Is It A Job Or Is It Wealth Creation? Leverage is a wonderful tool to create wealth, provided the market doesn’t turn. Assuming someone’s loan on a property can render wonderful results.

Here’s the basic premise. An underlying loan of $100,000 will be reducing principal at over $1200 in the first year. This grows annually, tax‐free, at the underlying interest rate. For example, it may be 6%.

Next year the $1200 would now magically become $1272. These seem like small numbers. We all know instinctively about volume increasing profits. 10 houses is $12,072 and by the same token, just 20 houses is $24,000.

Look around you and see how many people are actually putting $24,000 per year into their retirement account, tax‐free. The magic really happens when the mortgages are older.

It is now very difficult to get new loans for a rental property. The accepted limit at a regular financial institution is four (4) and going to the bigger commercial loans, you have to have a minimum of 10 properties.

Next time you have a few moments of quiet, think on this and add to your future planning.


By: Jenny Fields (if you like the article)and Harry Borders (if you don’t)

As most of you know, Congress passed the Dodd Frank Act in 2010 in response to the mortgage meltdown that began in earnest in 2006‐2007. The purpose of the act was to create an agency that, through regulation and enforcement, could prevent a similar crisis in the future.

As a part of its obligation under the Dodd Frank Act, the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau (“CFPB”) ‐ the agency created to carry out the Dodd Frank Act ‐enacted several regulations, some of which became effective January 10, 2014.

These regulations impact the real estate investor in several ways. We will look at a few of the highlights of the changes and how they impact the potential buyers of your properties and how they impact the real estate investor directly.

Impacts to Potential Buyers:

Under the new regulation, there are several elements that significantly reduce the homebuyer ability to qualify for a mortgage particularly the first time homebuyer’s ability.

First, and most important, is the new debt to income ratio. Under the new rules, the lender must consider the borrower’s ability to repay (something we hope most lenders have always done).

In new loans originated after January 10, the borrower cannot have a total debt to income ratio that exceeds 43%.

This will be a hard hit to most first time homebuyers. In addition, there will be a requirement that the total costs of the loan cannot exceed 3% of the loan value. That will be easy for a lender on a $400,000 loan – they only have to keep the total loan costs under $12,000 – but it will be hard on an $80,000 loan amount – lenders would have to keep the loan costs under $2400.

There is a strong belief in the industry that lenders will eventually stop originating loans in low dollar amounts because it will be hard from them to comply with this law

and remain profitable.

On the higher end of the sales prices spectrum, there are also plans for the Federal Housing Finance Authority to reduce the maximum loan amount, which in Kentucky is currently $417, 000 for Fannie and Freddie loans.

Direct Impact to Real Estate Investors

As if getting a loan for a real estate investor hasn’t been challenging enough recently, the new changes under Dodd Frank will make it even tougher. All self employed individuals (which many real estate investors are) will have to show adequate cash flow to make loan payments. That means that either the self employed person receives regular income from their employment or from investments to order to qualify for a loan.

The Moral of the Story

Although it is too early to tell for sure, it seems like most of the new regulations will make it harder for a first time buyer to get a loan (and therefore buy that gorgeous flip you just finished!).

It will also be harder for you to get financing yourself. But the most successful in our industry are the ones that adapt the best and the quickest.

We might be moving into a time of more creative financing on transactions ‐ such as contract for deeds and lease options.

Those are tried and true tools we have become familiar with. I also believe that local banks will play a critical role in increasing our financing options in the future.

KREIA is great at keeping us appraised of these new changes and the best ways to adapt to them and with filling our tool boxes with new skills when the old methods get significantly limited and changed.

Let’s keep the conversation going!
