Investing in real estate is something nearly everyone has a desire to do. We all know that most of the true wealth in our country has been built by men and women investing in real estate. The challenge we all have is that there is no simple proven strategy to acquire property, rehabilitate as need be, sell it for a profit or locate a worthy tenant – until now!!
The truth is that everyone needs a place to call home. And most would much prefer a single family house to an apartment. They either have a family, or pets, or just like to have folks over for a cookout in the summer. Whatever their reason, they want to live in a well kept and updated home in a safe neighborhood that is close to good schools and their work. Many are accustomed to being homeowners but have been displaced as a result of job loss or other malady. These folks make excellent tenants who may one day buy the house they are living in and renting from you.
We have established the systems necessary to locate, assess, rehabilitate, manage, and exit these properties. We have strategies to enter and exit properties on a short term basis providing a short term gain that can be rolled forward via a 1031 tax free exchange. We have strategies to locate, assess, rehabilitate, rent, manage, and hold for a long term capital gain. We believe significant opportunities will exist for the foreseeable future to acquire properties with substantial built in equity that provide either near term gain through sale or predictable cash flow and long term gain through renting.
We focus on acquiring either bank owned, short sale, or other distressed properties. We then provide the rehab services as need be to prepare them for either sale or rent depending on our exit strategy. We can structure either a straight rental, a lease purchase, an owner financed purchase (subject to or wrap strategies) or numerous other creative methods to reach the desired end result – provide the tenant or buyer with a quality product and secure attractive hassle free returns for our investors.
Our criteria for buying are fairly stringent and includes:
- Located in the well respected North Fulton/South Forsyth/Cobb/Gwinnett school districts.
- Minimum 3 bedroom, 2 ½ bathroom with rent rates between $1000 and $1800 per month.
- Distressed sellers meaning either REO (bank owned) or approved short sale.
- After repaired value (ARV) in today’s market of less than $250,000.
- Purchase price plus rehab costs not to exceed 70% ARV ($175,000).
Our preferred method for investing is to fund LLC’s from various individuals or Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA) and purchase properties all cash. In so doing, the financial returns are more modest (although still significantly better than anywhere else you can invest secured funds. However, for those seeking higher returns, we would entertain a leveraged purchase from a well qualified buyer. Whether you are buying a foreclosure, a short sale, a HUD home, or from an estate through probate, we have the complete tools and skill set to assure you of a pleasant, stress free experience.
