NOTES FROM BILL'S BOARD

D B Henderson wrote:
I have worked a deal with a couple RE agents. In pay them 1% to field the calls from my yard signs. He explains how the NEHTrust works, how they can become the RB, sells the dream of homeownership and sets an appointment with me at my office so I can explain the program. He gets lots of referrals for his real estate business (most of his RE commissions come from the contacts that call on my signs). He also gets 3% buyers agent commission from the seller when we buy properties. We buy pretty regularly because I get partners with money to become the settlor beneficiaries on the properties we partner on. Try it you'll like it.

NOTES FROM BILL'S BOARD

This string is based on emailing offers to MLS listings.

How do you make an offer w/o that info? He wanted it all added as contingencies.

Scott_L._Moyes wrote:
First of all remember that even if they like the offer they will have to furnish all the documents necessary to answer your questions. But, you do not need ANY of those things to make an offer using the NEO.

In the "Terms of the Offer" you should already have what is their asking price which you will put as the MAV. As far as the "Relinquishing Parties" contribution or equity just write, "Difference between all current encumbrances and MAV". What I like to do on the payment part if they don't or won't give you that information is this. I'll guess. I always "guess" what I know is going to be low. So if they give me an asking price of $200,000, I know that a mortgage payment of say 6% with 20% down would equal approximately $1200 PITI, so I'll put a payment of $1200 with, and listen to this, $200 month being paid by the Offeror/Seller.

Ok, so why do I do this? Because I'll get a call from the Seller or their Agent telling me they can't do that because the damn payment is $1400 not $1200 and they don't want to pay anything. Ok, so now I know.

Or, if you want you can just write in, "Current PITI". What that does is forces them to tell you what that is. Sometimes they will ask, "why only PITI, don't we get any cash flow too"?

Anyway, don't get too caught up in needing to know all the dollar figures upfront. Sure it's nice but not necessary to make an offer.

A good post for dealing with listing agents on Bill's Board

The original thread can be found here.   But below is the cut and past for the link clicking impaired.  

Overall, I like the advice since I am struggling a wee bit dealing with a few realtors.

Anybody else have some input one dealing with realtors if you find yourself dealing with them?


----

I got this idea from Scott (and I think Alvin also posted it too), that you can get the RB to give you addresses of houses they want to buy. Now, I've gone and done it. I've got an RB who's given me numbers for FSBO's and realtors to make offers for her. How do you make the NEO if you don't have all the numbers? I realize having a ready "buyer" is leverage for a stagnant listing, but I know a realtor isn't going to tell me what the seller owes on the mortgage, or whether the loan is in default or what the payments are, etc. HELP!

Debbie

----

Just make the offer based upon the info you have from the Agent. Call the rest "tbd"

----

Who said the Realtor won't tell you what you want? They will never tell you unless you ask, that's for sure. You don't just call and start asking what people owe anyway.

Make your call just like you would any other call. If you are calling the Realtor just tell them the same thing as you would the Seller.

Call and say,...

You: I may be interested in your (or your client's) house, can I ask you a few questions?

Them: Sure, what

You: Let me tell you what I'm looking for. I've got a client who is interested in your house and is willing to make you a Full Price Offer if you (or your client) would be willing to stay on your loan and leave your equity in tact for a few years while they cover 100% of the Payments and all the Maintenance. They will refinance in a few years, pay off your loan and give you a check for all your (your client's) equity at that time, Fair Enough?

And let it go from there. Most won't, so what. Some will. Your RB may give you 12 phone numbers to call and all you have to do is call them. What if two of them say yes. Now you have two deals. One to close now and one to find an RB for.

Ask the agent if the seller is willing to help the buyer finance the property by leaving their loan in place. Tell the agent that you have someone who's interested in the property but isn't able to get conventional financing today but can do so in a few years. For the meantime, this person will take over the seller's taxes, insurance, mortgage payments and assume the rest of the responsibilities of maintaining the home. In other words, ask the agent if this property is available for lease.

Tell the agent you'd like to make an offer but you need some numbers and information in order for you to formally write it up. If the agent doesn't give you the some of the information, just as homesaver said, put TBD. At least you made an offer! Who cares if the agent says NO even he/she hasn't consulted with the homeowner. Move on to the next FSBO or listing.

*Ah Scott beat me to it. Do what Scott says.

Alvin, I like what you said also. You are pretty smooth. 

I come from the school of not saying anything about staying on the loan. I'd rather let the NEO do the talking. For a couple of reasons: I think when you mention you'd like them to stay on the loan . . . . , you are forcing them to make a big decision with little information and you haven't left anything with them so they know how to contact you back in a couple of months when reality sets in (no good offers coming in) and they become more motivated. If you email an NEO they have 12 pages of how it works and it usually is stored in their computer.

Homesavers, I don't like to use TBD (no pazazz)! I put numbers in even if I don't know them. They can easily be changed and I've had calls back because the numbers were wrong. If someone will call back because the numbers are wrong you've got a pretty interesed party that is worth talking to because he listens. I get my numbers for the NEO by assuming that nobody has any equity anymore so I would assume a 10-15% down and the payment would be 8.5% of the balance after subtracting the 10% and then dividing by 12 for the monthly (example: $300k house less 10% = $270k loan @ 8.5% = $22,950 divided by 12 = $1,913 monthly payment) if the house is almost paid for don't you think you might get a call?

I agree with Scott. I don't have a problem getting that info from a RE agent (especially if I've already got an RB/buyer). I just ask! I also ask if he's got any turn downs or expired listing he's lost that he'd like to resurrect? By the way, I email the offer to the Realtor, he has to show it to the client by law and it gives me a good contact to build a relationship with for future business.

I will admit I don't have to ask for loan or payment info much, because I have access to RealQuest and can easily find it if I have the address. So all I need is the asking price and what realtor is not going to give you that?

I think it all depends on your market. What is going out there? If you have a lot of Over-emcumbered deals coming in with arrears then that is what you have to deal with. Unless you have the marketing muscle to find the jewels. Us newbies go for low hanging fruit you know.

Scott Moyes wrote:
Sorry but I disagree. I have never used or had need of formulas or a spreadsheet.

Here's the deal. If a Seller is willing to "take payments" (stay on the loan) and someone else is willing to "make the payments" (take over the loan) then who am I to tell them they can't?

It costs me $10 to make my offer to find out. What am I out if I don't find an RB? Not much. So you ask, what about all the costs of marketing? I don't pay that, the Seller does. Yep, you heard that right, the Seller does. And that's part of my offer.

Who cares what the value or monthly payment is? As long as someone else is willing to pay for it, who cares?
