Selling a House that's Out Dated

 If you have ever walked into Grandma or Granpa's house and thought..."how can they live here?" then you will know exactly where I am coming from. Years ago I walked into a house that a lady built back in 1977. She was meticulous about cleaning and preparing things so the house was in pristine condition. 

But, You Should Have Seen the Carpet...

I walked in and was instantly greeted by the original 1977 construction. The same avocado green carpeting was lying throughout the living room with the orange carpeting in the kitchen and bathroom. She had kept up the house so well that it didn't show it's age besides the cosmetics. 

So what do you do in a situation like that when it comes time to sell? Well, my opinion would be to either list it on the market and try to find someone wanting a project, or to sell to a real estate investor. 

The first option of using a Realtor will give you the most amount of money. But, the tough part about selling a property like that is the individual needs to have $30,000-$50,000 saved to stick into the house. The renovation will cost a significant amount of money & unless they are well-capitalized it might be more than they are anticipating.

How to Wholesale Real Estate - Appleton WI

If you are just looking to get started in real estate investing, wholesaling houses might be your best option! You can do this with very little to no money down & make huge profits! So, how do you get started?

The first step in wholesaling real estate is to become educated. You don't want to be known as the investor who says you are going to close & then at the last second you have to back out because you realize the property is not a good deal. If you say you're going to buy a house & have a contractual obligation, you better go through with the purchase.

Now, how do you become educated? The biggest resource nowadays is either online via Youtube, or actually attend or sign up for other Real Estate Investors courses on how to get into the business. Most of the time the courses are $500-$5000 but they will teach you everything you need to know to get into the business. Personally, I went the course route & believe it was the best investment I could have made.

After you learn the basics then you need to start marketing for homeowners & cash buyers. The homeowners to actually make a deal happen & the cash buyers you will be assigning your contract to once you have a deal. If you don't have at least 150+ cash buyers, I would recommend using the tool called propstream.com 

This is a great resource to build your cash buyer database at a rapid pace. Once you get the deal under contract you will need to schedule a time with the owner to bring your investor partners through aka your cash buyers. Make sure you disclose to the seller what you are doing so they are fully aware of what is taking place. The last thing you need is a lawsuit because you didn't disclose the right information.

If you want to be mentored 1 on 1 & the cost of mentorship is the splitting of your first 3 deals please reach out to us at 920-215-4201

How To Sell Inherited House Appleton: What You Need to Know

Have you inherited a house from a loved one? If you have, you might be wondering what you next step in the process is. In this article Carter goes over what you need to know about selling an inherited property. It is an overwhelming & emotional experience, but we have helped several property owners through it.

Prevent Over Spending on Random Things

When you sell with a realtor, most will recommend that you start painting, replace flooring, remodel the bathroom, and the list goes on & on. But is that really what you want to spend your hard earned money on. You & I both know that when you start investing money into properties it isn't always a 2x return. You may be spending more then you will actually get back. That is why it is coming more popular to sell to real estate investors!

Selling the house to an investor also prevents the need to hire a real estate agent. Some investors, such as CB Home Solutions, can help in the title transfer process. We work with local title companies who can solve this problem for you at a fraction of the attorney fees.

Sell the Property Faster

In most cases when a loved one passes the house sits vacant for an extended amount of time. The heirs need to find time to go over & clean the property out & dispose of the random things. It can drag on for 1,2, even three months or longer. All the while, you still have to mow the lawn, trim the bushes, & maintain the property.
This ads months to the process when you could just wipe your hands & get rid of the property quicker. Selling to a local real estate investor would allow you to avoid all of this, while still having the expertise of selling to a professional.
