OK THATS IT! haha
I need help in order to get my first deal underway. I have read numerous books, listened/read the sheets course and I STILL have questions about coming up with the money.
Lets take an example…
So far the steps I know to take are as follow:
1)Screen newspaper and websites for homes in your market that fit the criteria you want which are in my case 3br, 2 baths where i can get 1% in rent of the purchase price.
2)screen the sellers via phone to see if they are motivated to sell
3)if they are, schedule a visit
4)appraise the property with one of the many methods(comparing to local homes, etc)
5)make sure the cashflow is positive of $150 a month or more.
this is where it gets hazy
5)make a deal 80% MAX of the asking price.
Ok so I know how to get that far. I have good credit about 807 and 790 and I want to know the way to get a home for about 300,000 with no money out of my pocket.
Do I contact lenders, if so where do I find them?
Do I go to convential banks like Chase, Washington Mutual, etc?
Do I get a line of credit from opening credit cards?
Do I sell stock and pay cash?
Then there is all the mumbo jumbo about assumable loans, wraps, etc. Which I am clueless about.
So these are all the things I am confused about and that are holding me up on my first purchase…please help me clear up the confusion with the most in DETAIL answer you could give…
PS-Feel free to comment on the steps that I THINK I have under wraps, if I am doing something you feel is wrong or that can be done better let me know.
