Episode notes
Establish Credibility And Reserves First
- Build a track record before relying heavily on other people's capital to fund deals.
- Keep personal reserves to cover overruns or vacancy even when using outside money.
Make Multiple Financing Offers
- Submit multiple offers using different financing structures to increase your negotiation power.
- Include bank financing, seller financing, and private lenders so the seller can choose the best option.
Call Banks And Build A Capital Network
- Call every local bank to learn about low- or no-money-down loan products and target rehab deals with margin.
- Network to find private money partners and align interests with capital providers who lack time or desire to do deals.
