On this Episode we interview our fellow listener and investor Mike Cowper. Mike bought his first rental 5 years ago. Since then he has owned 15 rentals, was a partner on a 40 unit apartment building, and has wholesaled hundreds of homes. Mike became interested in creative financing because he got tired of being a Landlord especially because of the rise of property taxes and insurance costs, and the market just got more competitive for wholesaling houses.
Mike wanted to earn passive income without being a Landlord so he recently started taking his rentals and selling them on Land Contracts, (Contract For Deed), and has proven he can make residual income, not be a Landlord, and make huge profits in the form of interest and the arbitrage of marking up the purchase price to his Buyers. Now he can get a down payment, not a deposit, amortize the loan over 30yrs and earn interest (11%) over that period. He does not transfer title until the purchase price is paid in full and he no longer has the burden of being a Landlord. Listen closely to the specific details on how Mike does this, AND as a bonus Jeff walks Mike through an alternate way of creating terms on a lead that Mike already made an offer on. This is GOLD because Jeff shows how Mike can make more money by just adjusting the structure of the offer! Enjoy!!!
