dont want to take a cheesy 3 am infomercial course.. im 26 and dont own ANYTHING.. have a few dolars from school coming, im also aware that banks ect. havent the money to loan me in the first place.. so, economy, markwets, bankruptcy really meansd nothing to me at all. ie "fractional reserve system".. my question is HOW DO I START>>>> pm or sumthing i'll break you off to make me the apprentice..lol but im SO swerious!!
start by going to www.creonline.com much free info there, go to local library get books on creative financing, Trump has done alot of this on a larger scale
If you can make the numbers work and get a hard money lender that actually performs and doesn't just stuff you with fees...sure.
What you described is not an arms length transaction.
not sure what an 'arms length transaction' is but the guy that sold me the property also handed over the security deposits, around 1200.00. and once you get some deals going you can open a 'self directed IRA' and borrow from yourself, just so happened one of the best in the country at handling self directed IRA's for RE investors is in my town. Are you saying this doesn't happen all the time? that's because you have to weed out the dreamers. And as far as my credit going bad, none of these deals has ever shown up on my credit report, not that it matters
That is because those loans are not recorded. Arms length means a typical market transaction
Trump does large commercial deals where he can take advantage of non-recourse financing, something I have never heard of in residential. For those of you who don't know what that is: In laymans terms it means if one of his deals goes tits up, the lender can only go after the property minus what is called bad boy carve outs (if he commits fraud). Essentially, that is the limit to his guarantee and if a deal goes bad he only loses his equity in that deal as it will not slide into the rest of his portfolio. To double reinforce this, title in all of those deals are held in SPEs (special purpose bankrupcty remote entities).
While you claim to have no equity in any of these deals, you can lose as your credit and your personal guarantee is on the note...most likely with full recourse. So if one of your deals goes tits up...the big picture beyond that deal is at risk as well. I quickly perused the website which looks to be nothing more than your typical no money down scam deal. It advocates hard money (absolute rape) LOCs and other forms of getting in debt up to your eyeballs. What you are not explaining: is fine you get no money down (even in today's credit crunch), but how are you servicing the debt with no income?
Why don't you walk us though a few the specific steps of your deals?
