Sold My First SubTo Property

Thanks to John Cash and John LV for all the help in my SubTo deal!
I purchased the property at $219K after negiotation. The price included the $208K loan and $11K for equity (paid as $2K at closing and 3 payments of $3K every 45 days). Spend some money for cleaning, handy man repairs, transfer stamps, news paper ads etc and closed yesterday at $255K/ 20K down. The seller pays the remaining $235K as monthly payments to me and when they refinance I get the remaining 16K.
Good deal for my first one! Also, this was my first seller presentation and I have learned a lot since then!
So, Hang in there .... Success is around the corner .....
God Bless!

    SKrei,

    The best part of the deal beside the money you made has been left out.

    This property was sold to a Realtor, so anyone who thinks we don't deal with people in the Real Estate Profession this just proves we do, only on the selling side, however.

    The paperwork was reviewed by the Buyers attorney, yes there were some minor changes, like instead of "they" it was changed to "he/she" I mean the attorneys Mercedes payment was probably due so there had to be some changes to justify the fee.

    Aren't you closing your next deal in a few days?

    You are more than welcome my pleasure.

    Congrats! I was wondering where you get the $11k to the seller,,,is it from your buyer or ? How much do you think you can get down from a buyer yourself...I can't wait till I do my first...Congrats!!!

    mjdreal,

    He got $20K down from the buyer which covered what he is giving the seller.

    He will admit he overpayed for this one, but it was his first one and everyone wants that first deal. Nothing, however should be taken away from him he did a great job.

    So he got $20K down because you can, plus a monthly passive income and money coming on the back end of the deal.

    Your turn is coming up.

    Congrats!

    I can't wait to post on my first sub2 deal, too.

    Questions: about how much monthly cash flow are you getting? How many years does the buyer have to refi? Did you follow John's course? What was the sellers situation? NOD? Moving? Divorce?

    I have a couple of prospects and need to learn the points quickly. I need to order John's course asap. Thanks

    The buyer called from my Bandit Sign and I was there the next day, since I had nothing else going on! I read John's SubTo manual like taking a test in school; also reread it in the car before I entered the house!
    The buyer had just lost his job and son wanted to move out of town for another job. So far I have paid the buyer $2000 at closing and his first installement of $3000. At closing I figured I could make enough money for the remaining payments in future and I did. I will make about $160/ month.
    I just came back from closing on buying a TownHome. For this one I paid $2400 and will take over about $150K loans. The next door TH was sold for $168K.
    I paid too much for these properties, but both were a result of my initial presentations after getting done with John's course. I am wiser now! <IMG SRC="images/forum/smilies/icon_smile.gif">
    Thank you all![ Edited by SKrei on Date 02/06/2004 ]

    A sell close on Wednesday and a buy close on Friday.

    Now you can afford to buy a calendar to keep these deals straight.

    Sounds like you are on a roll. Great job.
