Creative Options
Friday, November 23, 2007 (250 reads)
Sometimes the profit motive brings out the best, and worst, of us. There were a couple of friendly rivals among Exchangors a few years back named Cliff and Art. Art was far and away the most successful financially, but Cliff was the more artful – as in artful dodger – of the two. No matter how hard Art tried to best Cliff in a deal, he never quite pulled it off. Sign up to see more |

Selling Houses While Staying Out of Court

I have several houses that I cannot sell, and would like to know if it would be best to sell them through Contracts for Deeds, by selling beneficial interests of them in Trusts, or by using Lease-Options. My main objective is to stay out of the court systems. Sign up to see more |

Investing Out of State
Wednesday, November 21, 2007 (150 reads)
I live in a county that is losing population on a regular basis and is in an economic depression. Would it behoove me to invest out of state, perhaps team up with other investors and do lease options, or should I stick to my own area? Sign up to see more |

Structuring a Short Term Option
Wednesday, November 21, 2007 (203 reads)
I got a call from a seller who needs to sell a house that is too big to work well as a rental. Also, it has bad financing. I'd like to structure a short-term option to get the right to market and sell the house and split any proceeds above certain figure with the seller.
I am wondering what would be the best way to document it. Let's say I want the seller to get the first $200,000 and split any amount over that figure 50/50. I thought I could get an option to buy 1/2 interest for $100,000, but am thinking that technically I would need another option to buy the other half for 1/2 of the "market value". If so, how would I write it?
Or ... Can I get an option to buy the whole house and include a formula to split the profits? Sign up to see more |

Calculating Appreciation
Wednesday, November 21, 2007 (150 reads)
I would like to know what is the best way to calculate/estimate the rate of appreciation at a specific time. For example, before going into a deal, how do you estimate what to expect appreciation to be in the coming years? Is it a formula? Some sort of index? Some publication? Sign up to see more |
