You`re very welcome Jim! It looks like you have yourself a great opportunity to create a Win, Win for all stakeholders. Good Luck! QUOTE (JimWhitelaw @ Jan 8 2010, 01:59 PM) I just wanted to note for the readers that I had a great meeting with Tony yesterday where he generously gave of his...

David, both John and Antay are correct!It can take a LOT longer to foreclose than evict a Tenant! Since I started utilizing the "Lease To Own" strategy almost seven years ago, I have come full circle. I started off by utilizing the "Residential Lease with Option to Purchase" strategy, then I...

Hey Jim, I trust you had a wonderful Holiday Season and a great start to the New Year? I would be more than happy to review this particular deal with you. If that is of interest to you please let me know? QUOTE (JimWhitelaw @ Jan 5 2010, 08:58 PM) I have been in discussions with a seller...

CONGRATULATIONS Mark! I wish you every success with your new book! QUOTE (markl @ Jan 4 2010, 09:58 AM) I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who helped make this book a possibility. I think the real success is we are #1 in all 3 categories we are currently ranked in Check it out...

David,I transacted on a similiar (mobile home on its own lot) deal a few years ago. I helped a "motivated" seller with their problem. I pocketed $1,650 per month in positive cash flow for two years, and made $165k on the deal! I also helped somebody realize "the ultimate dream of owning their...

Ed, my recommendation would be to keep it simple and structure a "Residential Lease with Option to Purchase" contract. I would start by requesting a small (non-refundable but apply to initial down payment if approved) application fee. After you receive this commitment you would then need to...

Brett, I recently helped one REIN member negotiate a "Creative Real Estate" deal that should net him somewhere in the range of $100k - $140k! The purpose of sharing this story is to demonstrate to other REIN members that these types of deals actually DO exist! I will not share the member`s...

Hey Mark, This is a GREAT way to crank-up your (Lease To Own) marketing machine! But as I mentioned to you before (and for the benefit of other forum members), you should consider increasing your finder`s fee for Realtors. I would personally recommend you increase your finder`s fee to a minimum...

Jim, To answer your question: An Agreement For Sale (AFS) is really a glorified "Residential Real Estate Purchase Contract" with the addition of some "creative" terms. These terms can include "Seller Financing" and or a "Deferred" (sometime in the future not 30 or 60 days) closing date. Does...

I know this doesn`t feel good, especially at this time of year, but you MUST get the clock ticking!If not, you will be the one that loses out! How do you think I know this? I have been in this position before, except I tried to be compassionate. The brutal reality is this; while being...

Gerald, As always, Barry and Donna did NOT disappoint! This is the second event that I have attended, and it was equally as fun and rewarding as the first! Barry has a great sense of humor, and coupled with his vast array of real estate and legal knowledge, he delivers workshops that are...

I couldn't agree with Joe more! What members of this real estate group have achieved speaks volumes for what Don Campbell, Russell Westcott and the entire REIN team have, and continue to promote. I have personally attended MANY different real estate seminars (and I AM talking about the...

Hey Rob, I think Barry`s response supports the advice and guidance I provided you with in my e-mail correspondence. On another note: Please be sure to close the loop on this post by providing us with an update when and if you move forward with the deal, as this will benefit all forum members...

Hey Dave, thank you for your vote of support with respect to my posts and ongoing contributions. As you can tell, I have learned a lot since attending Ron`s event back in 2003. Have you cranked-up your "buying" machine yet? If so, have you experienced any success? I have taken care of your...

Congratulations Carrie! I know you have not finalized the deal yet, but you have taken a HUGE step as you have now proven to yourself that these types of deals DO EXIST! If you stick with the program, there are a LOT more deals out there just like this one! How do you think I know this...

I am glad to hear you found the "Creative Real Estate Investing" material interesting. I trust it opened your eyes to the fact..."there are MANY ways to BUY real estate, and there are MANY ways to SELL real estate!" Not to mention acquiring a few "toys" along the way! Regarding the "black...

Jim, you are on the right track! As I ALWAYS say..."you can make more money doing things the right way, than you can ever dream of making doing things the wrong (stealing houses from people) way!" How do you think I know this? I would be happy to provide you with a few ideas / pointers. If...
