A duplex deal with no money down - as it happens - Podcast 13
This is a really fun episode. Joe was on his way to negotiate a deal with a seller he’s worked with before and decided to pull out his recorder and give you a “before and after” behind the scenes look at the process. The seller had a duplex with one side rented to long term tenants that he wanted to sell. Joe had bought a similar property from him a few years ago and felt that this would be a good deal just like the last one. Listen in to find out exactly what happened as Joe talked with the seller, negotiated a deal, and walked away with $15K in his pocket.
Buying investment properties with no money of your own in the deal is possible.
In this scenario the seller is getting older, has these properties that he’s had for a very long time, and wants to get rid of them. He’s willing to bring $20K to the table as a buyer’s incentive for Joe and is happy to get a 4% return on his money. His cash will serve as the down payment on the loan, the bank will finance the rest, and Joe will put absolutely no money of his own into the purchase. With $15K of renovations, Joe will have a great income producing property for the long haul… and owns a property that he didn’t have to spend a dime of his own cash to purchase. It doesn’t get any better than that. Listen in to Joe’s comments to find out how he structured the deal and how it’s going to work.
Never assume what your seller is thinking. Ask.
That’s one of Joe’s rules when it comes to working out deals with sellers. The first time Joe met the man selling these properties he simply asked the man what he wanted to do, and the man told him with no hesitation. It was less than Joe was prepared to do so the deal worked out great both ways. You never know what you’re going to be offered. You never know what sort of arrangements a seller might be willing to make. And you won’t know until you ask. In this case, the seller offered to drop the price without Joe even having to ask. It pays to listen. It pays to ask… literally.
Let the seller make an offer of what he’ll sell it for.
What happened with this property is a great example of why you want to wait on the seller to give you their desired scenario. Joe had already seen the property on a walk-through with the seller. During that walk-through Joe mentioned a few things that would need to be fixed, in a casual way. He didn’t say he’d need a lower price. He didn’t ask for one. He just mentioned things he saw. When it came to the negotiation the seller said, “I was thinking to sell this for $175K.” Joe said, “What are you thinking now?” The seller said, “I think I would be happy if I got $160K.” Joe got a lower price without even asking for it. The seller had convinced himself to lower the price. You can do the same thing if you learn to be calm and wait on the seller to explain what he wants. Great deals often come Joe’s way from doing exactly that.
The power of good rapport created a relationship into the future.
The seller Joe worked with in the situation featured on this episode of The Flip King has been easy to work with. Joe’s been able to strike up a great rapport with him. That kind of concern, courtesy, and care for the seller’s situation opened the door to a long term relationship, even though the seller has no more properties to sell. How? The seller mentioned that he’d be willing to be a part of future deals as an investor. Did you get that? The seller brought up the idea without Joe having to broach the subject. It all came about because of the relationship that’s been built one deal at a time. Learn how you can build those kinds of relationships too, on this episode of The Flip King!
