LinkOptions – Keith French Discussed This Niche Market

You may be asking, what is a LinkOption transaction; who is the typical LinkOption seller; who is the typical LinkOption buyer; what markets and what price range homes this strategy works best; what risks are associated with this strategy?

What is a LinkOption real estate transaction?

It’s simply linking a home seller and a tenant-buyer (TB) together via a Lease with an Option to Buy arrangement, and getting paid to put the two parties together.

• You are essentially wholesaling lease options;
• Seller wants full price for their home, 20% or more net equity than they can get by selling through an agent, and is willing and able to wait 9-18 months for a TB to purchase with a bank loan;
• TB is tired of just renting and wants to become a home-owner via rent-to-own (RTO);
• We don’t charge the seller for our services;
• We are not an exclusive listing, so the seller may try to sell their house any other way they like;
• It does not matter if the house is listed with an agent; and
• It can be the seller’s primary residence or an investment property.

 Who is a typical LinkOption seller?

Someone who:

• Is not distressed, not behind in payments, and not upside down on their mortgage;
• Has a move-in ready or near move-in ready home;
• Does not need a lump sum of cash now;
• Wants full asking price for their home, not the typical 80% of list price they net when selling the traditional way through an agent;
• Has tried selling through an agent or for sale by owner (FSBO) and was not successful; and
• Is willing and able to wait 9-18 months for the TB to purchase with a bank loan.
• Other reasons may involve tax strategies (e.g., ST vs. LT capital gain, wants the monthly cash flow, needs the depreciation and/or mortgage deduction, etc.).

 Who is a typical LinkOption buyer?

Someone who:

• Is tired of renting and wants to become a home-owner, but can’t get a bank loan or the loan they want right now;
• Has a minimum o f $5,000 or 3.5% of the purchase price of the home, plus full first month’s rent to put down now;
• Has the income and employment history to support the lease payment and future mortgage payment;
• Has a clear criminal background and strong rental history; and
• Is willing to enroll in credit repair and/or has the extra income to pay off bad accounts.

This applies to a huge portion of the population.  If you think about a typical bell curve, the left side are qualified buyers now, the right side are long-term renters, and the middle are people who have good income  and want to be homeowners, but can’t get qualified for a loan now.

What markets and what price range homes work for LinkOptions?

Any market and any price range home will work, but here are some general situations that work best:

• Homeowner neighborhoods, not rent-only areas;
• 3+ bedrooms are easier than 2 bedroom homes or less;
• Detached homes are easier than townhomes (TH), but THs work well in many areas like Baltimore where there are so many; and
• First time home-owner neighborhoods and median price ranges are best.  For our area, we like to focus on homes ranging from $115K to $300K.

What risks are associated with this strategy?

There really are no risks for the investor, as you are:

• Not borrowing any money (no bank loans, no hard money, and no private money);
• Not using your own credit for anything;
• Not taking title to the property or assigning title to anyone;
• Not giving the TB any equitable interest;
• Not making payments to the seller nor guaranteeing payments to anyone;
• Not needing a cash buyer or qualified buyer to close on the transaction to get paid; and
• Are not under any time constraints or obligations to the seller.

Some of the questions often asked about Link Options

• What if the home does not appraise at the TBs option price in 9-18 months?
• What if the TB can’t get qualified to purchase?
• What if the TB tears up the seller’s home?
• What if the seller does not want to be a landlord with a tenant?
• Do you need to be a licensed agent to do this strategy?
• What percent of your TBs actually purchase in 9-18 months?
• Where do you find your seller and buyer leads?
• What do I need to plan for marketing expenses?
• What are your average option fees?
• Do you enjoy doing this strategy?

Who Should Be Tuned In on Friday

• Anyone wanting to get into real estate investing and who wants the easiest and least risky strategy to implement;
• Any experienced investor who is already doing other investing strategies, and wants to add quick cash injections into their business by using the leads they are throwing away and can’t do any other strategy with.

Keith and Shannon French own a Rent-To-Own company in Maryland calledBuyBaltimoreProperties.com.  They help home sellers get full asking price, which is typically 20% or more than what they would net through an agent, and help tenant-buyers become homeowners in 9-18 months.

Make Your Next Property
A True Game Changer!

Eliminate ALL Your Cash Flow Needs On Your Very Next Deal, Using The Exact Same Strategies That Now Produce A Measly $100 A Month Or Less. Same Bullets, New Target. And No Competition! Read On…

It’s time to move up to the next level. Where cash flow is not a problem. Where competition is almost non-existent. Where one or two deals is all you need to be Financially Free. That is the goal, isn’t it?
But to get there, something needs to change. It’s time to work smarter, not harder.

One and Done
Your time is precious. But if I can show you how to cover all of your cash flow needs with one single deal, which can then be duplicated over and over again to build incredible cash flow, would you be willing to donate a couple of hours of your time to hear about it? Would that be worth your time? If so…
Mark your calendar for July 27th at NOON EST, for an information-packed Tele-Class by Commercial Expert Jason Schubert.

No More Excuses

There is a window of opportunity where you can scoop up incredible deals in a market that most of your competition doesn’t even know exits. They’re off chasing houses or apartments, leaving you pretty much alone to scoop up properties that will throw off $10,000…$15,0000…even $20,000 per month easily.
And the good news is that you don’t need money or credit, just knowledge and a willingness to act. Because you can use the exact same creative strategies to claim these deals as you do to grab that house that only spins off $100 or less a month.
How about adding two zeros to that $100 monthly cash flow? Easily. Using the same no money techniques you now use on houses?!

• Subject To
• Lease Option
• Straight Option
• Master Lease
• Private Money
• No Payments or Delayed Payments
• Etc.

These strategies actually work better on commercial properties than they do on residential. Why? Different Seller’s mindset, that’s why. First, they already understand creative financing. Heck, they probably bought their property that way. Second, there’s a lot less emotion with commercial owners than with residential owners. They didn’t grow up in the property or raise their kids there. They bought it as a business, and if you can solve their problem, the property is yours. No emotions involved.

Jason Schubert, Real Estate Entrepreneur

Jason Schubert in 5 short years has accomplished what many perceive to be unrealistic. In 2004, Jason was sitting in a cube working 50 hours a week for the computer giant Dell Inc… until one day he got a call that changed his mindset forever. Since then Jason has taken creative financing and marketing to another level. In his first year while still working a full time job, Jason purchased 18 houses with none of his own money using creative strategies such as “subject to” and lease options. Shortly after, Jason left Dell and became a full time real estate investor and quickly created purchasing and selling systems that have created millions. In 5 short years, the results have been astounding… from purchasing 30-50 houses a year using subject to’s and lease options, to rehabbing 3-5 houses a month, a builder, national real estate speaker, entrepreneur, commercial real estate mentor and coach, hotelier and master of buying properties with none of your own money and deal structuring.
Jason is a self made millionaire who created the Rich In Five^® Residential and Commercial Mentoring programs and have helped countless students across the country achieve and exceed their financial goals.
Jason has been dedicating the last couple of years to mentoring students from coast to coast with his creative and proven systems. With all of this, Jason still makes it a priority to spend time and enjoy life with his lovely wife Jennifer of 9 years and their 3 beautiful children in Austin, Texas.

Multi-Family Investing

Have you always thought that Multi-Family investing was out of reach?

Listen in Friday, August 10th as Charles Dobens, one of the country’s authorities on Multi-Family Investing discusses:

• How to find multifamily properties before anyone else.
• Once you find them, what do you do with the lead?
• Difference between Birddogging and Wholesaling.
• What do I need to know to be successful?
• Where can I get more information?

Who Should Listen and Why

• Anyone interested in Multi-Family investing
• Any Investor wishing to well rounded in their knowledge

 
Charles T. Dobens

Dobens Law – The Multifamily Law Firm
Principal Attorney

Multifamily Investing Academy, LLC &
Lifetime Apartment Investors
Founder

• Owner/Operator of over 400 apartment units
• Represented clients and investors in the acquisition of over $100,000,000 of multifamily property
• Testified as expert witness regarding multifamily acquisitions
• Manages over $15,000,000 of multifamily property
• Works with new investors to help them buy property THE RIGHT WAY!

During his college years, Charlie worked as a doorman at a luxury apartment building in Boston. While opening the door to all the rich, old ladies, he would watch the building owner pull up in his white, Rolls Royce Corniche convertible on the first of the month and walk into the office. Eight hours later, the owner would re-appear, walk through the lobby, get back into his car and drive away, not to be seen again for another thirty days.

Charlie knew that working one day a month as the owner of a multifamily property was something that he could do. And probably do really well. Unfortunately, back then, there was no one that was teaching the ins-and-outs of apartment investing.

Over the next several years, Charlie graduated from law school, passed the bar and began several businesses in fields that had nothing to do with multifamily investing. The desire to own apartments, though, never left.

Upon reaching the grand, lifetime achievement of making it to forty years old, Charlie re-evaluated his life and decided that he was going to finally start buying apartments. Over the next seven years, he acquired over $20MM worth of property such as:

• An entire city street of apartments using a master lease/option arrangement,
• A class-A apartment complex that runs every month with an occupancy of between 96-100%,
• A community of multifamily units made up of all different types of units, from Section 8, class-C units to luxury class-A apartment homes,
• A complex of government-assist rental units with guaranteed income every month,
• And everything from class-D to class-A, pitched roofs, flat roofs, master-metered, sub-metered, war zones, bucolic country settings and everything in between.
