đ¤đž DEAL TACTICS đ¤đž Flashcards
I realize if I submit to get funding and fail to pay attention and donât provide these answers it will cost me $500 to submit deals since it takes time to be done right before sending to the
lender?
YES.
- donât wast peoples time
*learn it so that you can ask the right questions - expect to spend $500 for every question submission and $1000 for every deal submission.
What is it you need to find out minute one?
THE SCREENING PROCESS
- Determine if he has equity. (if he doesnât you canât even do it) Ask how much does the seller owe (to calculate equity) and how long has he owned the property? (to guesstimate terms of his mortgage)
- Ask what he thinks the property will appraise for (or if he has the appraisal) - always disagree and make him pay for it.
- Determine purchase Price (PP) by fighting him on it based on his âestimatedâ appraisal value. For ex. if he says 5M you say 4M and if he says nah I canât do that you say alright well I can get you 5M but itâs got to be a structured deal. This is where you will discover if the seller will cooperate with a refi or come up with down payment for purchase.
Tell me why its a bad idea to send bad info to a lender?
Lender(s) will black ball your name, put your file at the bottom, never close your deals.
What is AP and PP? Why do they matter?
AP or AV = Appraisal Price or Appraisal Value (the real numbers determined by a hired 3rd party appraiser used to get the loan and accurate LTV for purchase)
PP = Purchase Price - agreed upon price between you and the seller (only the seller sees this unless used for preliminary lender approval to get confidence of seller that you can close the deal)
Why is it important to have a higher AP?
Because that allows you to be able to have a higher LTV to use to purchase the property with out having to carry back as much on the back end. (Good for you because you donât owe the seller any extra money after close and good for him because the less they need to trust youâll make the extra payments and he can get as close to his target number as possible - IE the deal closes faster and is a more win-win for everyone)
Lender only seeâs 80 LTV of AP (not PP) or whatever they approve it for.
Why is it a bad idea to guess on any numbers?
Guesstimating the real value or noi or gross off a listing with the formulas to figure out numbers is good and fine but guessing when asked a direct question and you guess what it is verses find out.
THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS NOT TO GUESS ON IS:
- What the seller owes and IF PROPERTY HAS EQUITY
- If HE WILL BE COOPERATIVE to do a refi or bring the down payment money for a purchase.
Why is it important to ask things about the property in the right order?
It keeps you in the dominant position.
⢠controlling the seller to get your way exactly how you want it & prevents from wasting time on dead deals & the order important cause builds up your position.
What are you supposed to look for when you see financials and the numbers ?
Make sure the DSCR is 1.1 or 1.20 or higher if its lower means youâre over paying and need to lower the offer price and it doesnât work.
- Purchase price (PP) LTV with out anything about seller carry. (This is the preliminary lender terms based on your first LOI agreement before you get the real numbers and appraisal)
- Appraised value (AV) for the refi then submit just seller info to the lender and have LOI on side (lender doesnât see).
- Appraised value (AV) LTV & seller carry back, lender doesnât see (PP or the carry back on the side)
Always get the real #âs from a schedule e and if itâs a larger apartment (50+units) itâs best to get 50 leases or at least 25 (if you want to close fast) because it shows the lenders REAL proof of income (POF).
Give examples of what youâre supposed to look for in the real financials.
Ideally you want to get:
Schedule E - to show what his real NOI is and also what he really owes/pays on the property in terms of debt servicing for the mortgage
Rent roll - to show all the tenants names and information on what they pay and how consistent they are at paying.
Profit and loss statement - to view what specific expenses or maintenance have been paid for.
How do you catch a seller lying ?
You know seller is lying if:
- If heâs doing seller financing thus he is too high on price and if he is too willing to carry a 2nd mortgage it could mean the sales price is too high
(heâs hiding something) - if the financials like the rent roll are too generic with no names of tenants and details
- When seller says 100% occupied it usually doesnât mean they paying
on time or that some are not paying late for months. - No schedule e
What does it mean if a seller carryâs or is a for sale by owner or is too agreeable?
- it means he is over priced but you should find out what the real price is.
reference lying question
When they make you backpedal why do you have to tear into them?
To gain control back
- you will get stuck doing their game plan vs yours
- RICH people play poker
- RICH people tell others what the rules are and make their own rules and path
- RICH people Find ways to make OTHERS fit their needs
- RICH people find ways to get others to work for them even when they have no money
- RICH people are MENTALLY richer vs others who are mentally POOR
- Poor people do what rich people tell them to do
- Poor people find problems and excuses why things fail
How do you control a conversation? Hint: what do you do to control a conversation?
Ask questions to lead, persuade and control; the seller has no time to think and you lead them where you want them to go.
Ask them what?
Ask them questions
What does asking them questions keep them from doing?
Avoids then giving you the job interview, or wanting your POF, asking what properties you own, what your resume is⌠etc.
What terms do you tell the seller that you want on the 2nd mortgage ?
- âBalloon noteâ (second mortgage, donât bring up interest because 99% of the time the terms go as you say BECAUSE THEYâRE MAKING THEIR PROFIT ON YOUR INITIAL 40-70 LTV upfront purchase agreement SO DONâT FEEL BAD), no payment for 5.5 years (start out at this number because all prepayment penalties go out to 5 years, there are several types of prepayment penaltyâs: 54321 âdiminishingâ penalty or a âadjustableâ prepayment penalty or one you can âbuy downâ in a year that cost a point (1% added interest) or just a flat balloon payment) DO NOT OVER PAY ON YOUR 2ND MORTGAGE!
Max interest if any: 6%***
- Seller pays for appraisal.
- Seller pays for the closing cost including down payment.
You want to establish these things UPFRONT⌠if you donât then the seller establishes control later on and itâs HARDER to add in later and youâre desperate at that point to close the deal.
If he wants interest for the 2nd mortgage make sure itâs âinterest ONLYâ
âIf you have an issue with the ballon payment or interest only then Iâll just cut the purchase price down and we wonât need the second mortgage at all. Iâm just being nice by giving you your asking price. IM DOING YOU A FAVOR by paying so much upfront, Iâm just doing this because Iâm buying as many properties as I can right now.â
Why do you set the terms we recommend for the second mortgage?
- Because you make more money
- Because the DTSCR is higher
- MOST lenders use a 5 year prepayment penalty and you pass that.
When do you say your terms or put them out?
At the beginning, minute one.
What happens when you donât state what the terms should be on the 2nd Mortgage?
- You have pay for appraisal
- DSCR may not work
- You lose money & can have cash flow issues
- PP issue
- Deal may be too tight to do at all
What if the seller tells you what these terms should be?
Means youâre not in control of the deal. You have to convince him on your terms.
Do you know what is better: interest only or principal and interest on the 2nd Mortgage? What are the best terms for the 2nd mortgage?
No payment for at least 5yrs. (interest only is always better if any at all)
Do you know why all these questions are critical to know and how not knowing will affect all your
interactions?
- Because its how you build yourself into millions each and every piece done perfectly leads to unlimited money and success. Failure to do it in the right order, or right answer or right responses will lead to staying average and never being on top.
- Being rich comes from being smarter not from having more money. This is proven all the time.
- Being able to correct & grade oneself & adjust is key to being rich too
Why is it important that the seller has equity?
Mainly because you need at least 20% equity in a property to do a cash out refinance.
Why is it important to get a âguesstimateâ from him on what he âthinksâ the property will appraise for?
Why should you disagree about what the seller thinks the property will appraise for?
And why is it important for him to pay for the appraisal?
Itâs important for you to get his guesstimate of the appraisal (and gross income) so that you can calculate what kind of deal structure you can offer him based on the hypothetical AV (assuming you get 80LTV)
You should disagree in what he thinks the appraisal will be and say that you think itâs going to come out lower than what he says itâs going to be so that you can get him to pay for it and thus getting him âinvestedâ in you and in closing the deal⌠(if you pay for the appraisal and it comes out much lower than he says and itâs not enough for you to purchase the property at what heâs asking for, you just PAID to not close anything⌠YOU are in the power position and have the money HE wants, so he will pay for the appraisal so that you can cash him out.)
You can do this because you need this appraisal to determine what you can actually borrow on the property and what LTV you can get for it and also how much youâll actually be able to pay him up front and potentially need to have him carry on the back end. Youâve also clearly communicated how easily and quickly you can get approved for the loan to purchase.
