When buying deals using traditional financing, or creatively structuring a highly priced, hybrid seller financed deal, our tool of choice is syndication.
We equate our role working with investment partners like you, to being an Uber driver in the sense that Uber drivers provide the vehicle; manage the process; provide a convenient & hands off experience to passengers, and upon delivering the ROI of a safe arrival to the passenger, the driver gets compensated for the service rendered, all while taking part in the ride themselves.
As the sweat equity partner (Syndicator/General/Managing Partner) to our financial partners (Limited Partners, we do the heavy lifting in every stage of the process; from asset acquisition to asset management, to the eventual asset disposition.
When buying deals using creative financing, we have a plethora of acquisition tools. However, our preferred method of purchase is seller financing with a focus on purchasing the property using the "Subject To" method, and the "Seller Carryback" method.
With the "Subject To" acquisition method, we partner with the seller, to service their existing note,
mortgage, deed of trust. Sellers we deploy this method with, typically have an already existing
mortgage, which we leverage to gain ownership of the property. This type of seller is typically
distressed, the seller may be behind on payments and has low to no equity in the property, or maybe
the seller just simply wants out.
We figure out their needs, financial or otherwise, agree on terms of purchase, catch up their
back-owed payments, then continuously make the payments on their behalf moving forward. This
helps the seller build back up their credit, and in some instances, it saves the seller from a
foreclosure record, and in return, we are deeded the property by the seller.
With the "Seller carryback" acquisition method, we again execute this method in partnership with the
seller. In this case, however, the seller functions as our bank since he or she either owns it free and
clear, or has a mid to high equity position they would like to liquidate. Needs are discussed openly
and freely, and terms are reached that are generally favorably to both parties involved. Our sellers
enjoy a Mitigation of their tax obligation, steady monthly payments, and in most cases a balloon
payment at the end of a predetermined period of time.
Both of these allow us to have a very robust, problem solving relationship with our sellers and other
partners.
