INSIGHT

Real Estate's "Dark Side"

  • The investment side of real estate deals mostly with distressed properties and sellers.
  • Success requires analyzing hundreds of properties and submitting many offers to find the right deal.
ADVICE

Close Deals Concurrently

  • Avoid assignment contracts because they expose you to risk and less control.
  • Closing concurrently on deals provides control and seller confidence.
ADVICE

Build Relationships for Deals

  • The best off-market deals come from strong relationships with realtors, wholesalers, and investors.
  • Use comparables sold within 3-6 months and a 20% sq. footage margin to assess after repair value (ARV).
