January 16, 2021 Episode 178: How to Find Off Market Real Estate Deals with Zack Boothe
Finding Off Market Real Estate Deals Can Lead to Untold Riches
Real Estate Investing is a transactional business. You have to have a source of deals. Better still is a source of Off Market Real Estate Deals that you can buy, renovate and make a profit. DFD Mastery founder Zack Boothe joins me on this real estate investment podcast to discuss his method of finding investment property.

Zack has a history as a long term real estate investor. His primary strategy was to buy rental property and lease to Section 8 tenants. You probably know of investors following this same strategy. He found that over time he didn't really make much money on his portfolio. Tenants caused damage and the yearly property inspections racked up repair bills. Maybe you can relate.
Zack made the transition to becoming THE SOURCE of Real Estate Deals in his market-Salt Lake City, Utah. Since he controls the deals, he gets to set the terms and prices of his deals. Some get wholesaled to other investors and he collects a fee. Others route to fix & flip partners who step in, fund the deal, do all the work, then split the deal 50/50. Can you see how this sets you up to become rich?
Digging through the Multiple Listing Service MLS is for Real Estate Agents, NOT Investors
The old way real estate investors found deals was to dig through the MLS. The MLS is the same system used by real estate agents to find listings for their clients. Now, there are some deals on the MLS-even in this market. However, those deals usually come with serious competition. Serious competition leads to bidding ways. Most real estate investors are averse to paying more for anything-especially real estate deals. So the key to lowering competition on your deals is developing a source of Off Market Deals.
Find Off Market Deals in YOUR Market
Finding off market deals in your market takes work. You actually have to set up a business with lead generation, marketing expenses and hiring and managing a team. To some, this is a nightmare, or even a diversion. For example, if you're good at rehabbing and have plenty of cash lined up, your time might be better invested in finding solid sources of off market deals-like Zack-and focusing on the business of rehabbing.
On the other hand, if you're interested in doing the work and investing the time & money to generate deals, you'll definitely want to listen this show. Zack describes his laser focus approach to building a team and developing the HIGHEST R.O.I mailing list in his market. Imagine having a list of property owners who own the exact types of real estate you'd like to buy. You can do the same in your market using the same software that Zack uses: The REI Deal Machine.

What Software is Used to Drive an Off Market Deal Business?
As mentioned, Zack uses the REI Deal Machine to develop his list and manage his mail. The deal machine will research addresses in public record, skip trace, and even offer push button postcard and letter campaigns. Oh, and the best part, you can actually trace your driving routes and manage your driver team using the Deal Machine.

Investing in Real Estate with No Money Down

You might have heard people say that investing in real estate with no money down is impossible. The first thing to understand is that investing with "no money down" does NOT mean "no money at all". My guest, Chris Prefontaine, has developed an entire system to consistently buy property with no money down. We are NOT talking about house hacking or buying a primary residence. These no money down deals generate cash flow over the long term.

There are a few financing options to invest in real estate with no money down. The first way is by using seller financing. You find a seller willing to accept payments on the purchase price. In other words, the seller is the money lender in the deal, not a bank. For example, you agree to pay $400,000 for a house by making monthly installments of $2,000 per month. The second way is to use a lease option where you pay the owner a certain monthly payment. Additionally, you lock in a purchase price for a certain period of time. Let's continue using the $400,000 example. First, you lock in a monthly payment of $2,000 with the seller. Second, you lock in the purchase price of $4,000. Third, you agree to pay that $400,000 price within 36 months.

You make your profit by finding a buyer willing to pay $2,400 per month and $440,000 within that same 36 month period. Of course, this is an oversimplified set of examples. Every no money down real estate deal is unique. You can negotiate monthly payments, credits, the purchase price, & the term of the deal. Your options are endless!

Has Covid Improved the No Money Down Real Estate Market?
Covid has affected many real estate markets throughout the U.S. I'm a real estate investor and I personally buy rental property in Atlanta, Chicago, & Philadelphia. These markets have become superheated through 2020 which caused inventory levels to drop. The lack of houses for sale has caused purchase prices to rise. I imagine your market is similar. This low inventory can make finding a deal more challenging. However, your opportunity to make money is better because the prices are rising. Any deal you make has a higher chance of selling at a profit since the market is moving up. In other words, deals are more valuable now than they have ever been. So how do you find no money down real estate deals?

Which Sellers Will Accept a No Money Down Offer?
The real estate investing business is based on making offers. Newbie investors often avoid making offers for a variety of made up reasons. They blame their credit score or interest rates. There are two reasons newbies don't buy real estate. First, they don't ever make offers to buy investment property. The second reason is usually the cause of the first reason. They don't know how to make the offer. The price, the terms, the closing date. These are confusing.

To make things worse, newbies often make their offers to the wrong seller. Banks selling REO property will NOT accept a no money down offer. They expect cash. A seller who needs the cash to move to their next house cannot accept a no money down offer. They need cash.

On the other hand, a seller who is seeking to avoid paying taxes on the sale of a house is the perfect seller to offer a no money down deal. Those sellers are the perfect candidate for a no money down deal. The next challenge is finding those sellers. The best method for attracting deal flow is through marketing. All volume investors know this secret. Get good at advertising and you'll never be without a deal. How much advertising budget is needed to succeed? Much less than you think. You'll have to check out the episode for full details.

January 01, 2021 Episode 176: How to Buy Land with No Money Down with Mark Podolsky
Mark & I Discuss How to Flip Land Deals with No Money Down:
How to Profit from the Current Bubble in Land
Where the Best Land Deals are Located
Finding the Best Buyer for Any Land Deal
Knowing Which Land Deals Have Little Competition
How to Invest in Land in with No Money Down-Podcast Episode Highlights

Mark Podolsky, aka, The Land Geek, has been buying and selling land for more than 20 years. On this episode Mark & I discuss how to invest in land. Specifically how to buy land with no money down. His specialty is buying vacant land very cheap-in the $5,000-$20,000 range, closing using quit claim deeds, and then reselling to buyers on terms at nice profit spreads and strong interest rates.

In other words, buy a parcel of land for $5,000, close, then resell immediately for $20,000. The trick is the terms-to that same buyer, Mark would collect $5,000 down and accept payments of around $200 until paid in full. Oh, he also charges interest on the $15,000 balance, so there is some additional profit in the deal long term as the payments roll in.

Mark uses direct mail & software to fire off automatic offers in bulk, allowing the seller to simply sign the agreement should they accept the offer. Using his system, which he shares with his students, he's been able to build a substantial passive income while systematizing the business to run on near automation. Mark's goal is to do a deal per day-or somewhere around 200-300 deals per year.
Buying Raw Land is Only a Good Real Estate Investment Strategy When

The way I see it, there are really only two ways that land investors make money. The first would be to buy land at a low price and then sell at a higher price at some point in the future. This is Mark's strategy as we discuss in depth during the episode. The second way to profit from raw land is to buy the plot of land and then develop the land to increase value-build a house, rezone, or maybe construct a commercial property. This podcast does NOT focus on development, however we have had many commercial real estate developers on the show.
How To Profit from the Current Land Bubble

Covid has superheated the land market. People have been racing to buy land as outdoor recreation, safely away from any virus danger, has become very popular in 2020. What better place to camp, ride dirtbikes, or have an RV than on your own land. There is something seductive about owning land, it always has been.

Mark's buying and selling of land, the strategy of leaving no money in the deal long term-is the perfect way to profit from the current land market. It's all about velocity: buy & sell as quickly as you can. In my own experience flipping houses, the good deals are those that profit. The best deals are those that profit and close quickly! The less time you actually own the land in between the purchase and sale, the lower your risk of losing money or other liability.
You Gotta Avoid the Land Losers...

Some land is simply worthless. Areas such as Pennsylvania & New Jersey are often laden with environmental clean up sites. Old industrial properties with EPA superfund sites which could place the unsuspecting buyer into a huge financial responsibility. You can do quick due diligence on a potential land deal at EPA.gov

Another issue which could make land worthless is no road access. Think about it-you've gotta be able to get to the land you bought without encroaching on someone else's land. I've personally passed on a large number of very cheap land deals because there was no access road.

If you were focused on land that you were going to build, you'd also need to be aware of flood zones, but the deals Mark and I discuss aren't really affected by flood zones. Most of the buyers are using the land for recreation, not development.

Gregg & I Discuss:
Why Invest in Jacksonville, Florida Real Estate

Turn Key Rental Properties Offer Easy Scale

Build to Rent-Brand New Assets

Why a “Focused Approach” Beats a “New Markets Approach”
Investing in Jacksonville, Florida Turn Key Rental Properties-Podcast Episode Highlights

What are Turn Key Rental Properties? Why Should I Invest?

Gregg Cohen, founder of JWB Real Estate, joins us on the show today to discuss turn key investment properties. Real Estate investors in the olden days were limited to investing in their local market-where they could physically manage the tenants, repairs, and any other issues that arise from owning property long term.

In today's world, with the internet and property managers like JWB who offer fully renovated houses with tenants in place, out of state, or even out of the country owners can enjoy cash flow in any real estate market. With so many markets available, let's talk about why I like Jacksonville, Florida, and the reason I sought to invite Gregg onto the show.

How to Scale a Real Estate Investment Portfolio:

My main business is buying & selling houses as quickly as I can. Sometimes completing renovations, sometimes selling nearly as-is, with only minor cosmetics done after we buy the property. Even though I close close to 300 deals per year, when it comes to passive income, I prefer buying turnkey investment properties. I also have no issue with long distance ownership.

The bottom line is that I can scale quickly when turnkey companies are placing tenants and managing the details for me. The extent of my involvement is the heavy lifting on the front end to actually close the purchase: the loan application, signing documents, and providing the 20% down payment.

Why Invest in the Jacksonville, Florida Real Estate Market?

The Jacksonville, Florida real estate market is attractive to me first for location. There are jobs and population from all over the U.S. migrating to Florida, and Jacksonville's pricing hasn't gotten detached from wages. Normally I prefer market's with 5 Million people or more living in the metro area, but Jacksonville has about 1.5 million. Even though it's smaller than I'd normally prefer, Jacksonville is among the fastest growing large cities in the US.

Why Does the Age of a Home Impacts the Value and Maintenance Cost?

On this episode, Gregg and I also discuss his brand new construction homes which are built to rent. Turn key rental property investing normally focuses on existing houses: buy a house, renovate a house, then rent to a tenant, before selling the house with tenant to an investor like me. JWB actually began buying lots and building brand new homes for the same purpose: to provide investors with a brand new turnkey rental investment. One note-I have since attempted buying the brand new offering only to find out that they are in very short supply. Somewhat disappointed...

Anytime I consider buying a turnkey rental property, the biggest variable, after location, which affects price is the current condition. I love the idea of a new home-since the entire house is new. That's not usually an option, so I evaluate the home based on it's current condition. Unless you're an expert in construction, the best bet is usually buying recently renovated turnkey real estate investments from the property management company who actually completed the renovation. You still need to to due diligence on the company, the house, & the market before you close the deal.

Many of the houses I've bought "turn key" were simply occupied rentals bought from mom & pop landlords. In those instances, I expect a risky tenant, many repair issues, and a significantly below market price to account for the risk. I understand that long term, my maintenance costs will be very high-when compared to a turnkey investment property purchased through a full service turnkey rental property provider, such as JWB real estate. Please check out the full episode & come up with your own conclusions
