Deadly Mistake No. 4 People Make When Buying Real Estate

Deadly Mistake No. 4 is another common mistake people make when buying real property. In fact, in Africa, this mistake is rarely committed. WHY? Not because the majority of the people in Africa are aware of it BUT because most of them are NOT educated enough in real estate matters.

However, in the western world such as the United States of America and part of Europe, most people there take the initiative of deliberately and intentionally educating themselves in such matters with a view to enhancing and expanding their individual real estate investment portfolios. WHY? Because many of them have realized that an Educated Mind is an Enlightened Mind and therefore helps reduce the levels of loss or risks associated with investing through proper and informed decision making processes!

Of the many that have taken deliberate steps to educate themselves in matters of real estate investing, some of them for one reason or another have ended up committing Deadly Mistake No. 4 I'm discussing today. And I'm NOT in any way suggesting that my fellow African brothers and sisters are not educated enough but simply stating the fact that this deadly mistake no. 4 is rarely committed by them BUT commonly committed by our learned western world brothers and sisters who have taken the time to learn these things and due to one reason or another, have found themselves committing today's deadly mistake.

WHAT THEN IS THIS DEADLY MISTAKE NO. 4 I'M TALKING ABOUT?

Well, the particular deadly mistake no. 4 I'm talking about is simply this :

Financing Agreement Not Containing Non-Recourse or Exculpatory Clauses!

WHAT EXACTLY DO I REALLY MEAN BY THIS?


You see, dear blog reader, when it comes to buying real estate, most people do not KNOW that they could actually purchase real property by turning the seller into a Lender and therefore buy the property from him! In other words, you could obtain what is known in real estate matters as "Seller Financing". This, like I earlier on alluded to, can enable you - the buyer - to agree with the seller and turn him or her into a long term lender say twenty years and then pay for the property using monthly payments until the whole amount agreed upon by both parties is fully paid.

This arrangement is good for both the seller and buyer.

It is good for the seller who finds himself or herself in a pinch and badly needs cash to help him or her sort out some immediate personal and family problems. Instead of the seller selling his property for a full upfront cash payment which normally takes time, he or she can sell his property via what is known as 'Seller Financing' and allow the buyer to pay for the property in question through monthly payments at a good rate of return for say a twenty year period. And besides, it provides the seller with some Passive Income for the period of the loan until the full amount is fully settled. This strategy is best suited for a seller who owns a number of real properties and therefore wishes to convert one or two of them into passive income via intelligently calculated and reasonable monthly payments over a period of time in order to avoid the daily encumbrances associated with tenant/lord relationships!

This strategy is good for the buyer in the sense that it enables him or her to buy the property of his or her dreams affordably without having or possessing colossal sums of money. With just a small amount of cash or anything in kind used in lieu of cash, a buyer can own property whilst still paying for it. And if the buyer wants, he could easily rent it out so it can help him or her pay for itself!

Such a technique of acquiring real property is known as a "Creative Finance Technique". I talk about this very technique in detail including many others HERE. So, if it's your desire to learn more of such creative finance techniques, then please click HERE to have access for FREE to such detailed information!

Therefore, when I talk of committing deadly mistake no. 4 which is "Financing Agreement Not Containing Any Non-Recourse or Exculpatory Clauses", I mean and refer it to a real estate deal structured with a Seller Financing Agreement in place. It is in such an agreement where you - the buyer - MUST be very careful.

In such kinds of Purchase and Financial Agreements, you must make sure that as a buyer, you incorporate in such agreements what are known as "Non-Recourse or Exculpatory Clauses". WHY? Because  these limit or reduce your loss via foreclosure to the property or asset pledged as security (Your Collateral). Moreover, such clauses also enable you - the buyer - to back out of the deal or contract should there be some misrepresentation or problem of some kind in the near future whilst performing and fulfilling the terms of the agreement.

However, it may NOT be possible to secure this kind of an agreement when negotiating a loan with a bank or any financial lending institution, but it must be a part of any agreement that specifies an Owner Financed Deal.

Therefore, as you've probably read and seen for yourself, very few people KNOW these THINGS and you'll DO yourself a GREAT favor by Learning and Knowing about these Things HERE and so avoid this very deadly mistake no. 4 discussed herein today including the past ones!

So, dear blog reader, the next time you go out and settle for a certain piece of real property, you MUST ALWAYS make sure that you avoid committing this particular deadly mistake discussed herein including the previously discussed ones as well as the upcoming ones to be discussed later right here on this very property blog.

So, until next time, go well in your real estate searching endeavors!

The "Dyonko" Technique To Help YOU Buy Real Estate Affordably

Buy Me Please! I'm on Sale Seriously. I'm Valued at ONLY K550 Million. Highly Negotiable!

In my previous blog post, I discussed how You - The Buyer - may purchase real property using very little or none of your own money at all using certain little known secret techniques or strategies.

However, in today's blog post, I thought I should share with you ONLY one of these little known secret techniques as a "Dyonko" or "Sample" to enable you see how these strategies may benefit you in your own real estate investment efforts if and when you decide to apply them as well as consider signing up for the entire E-Course Training Series if you haven't yet done so that is.

The One Technique I wish to share with you today is This -> : Using OPTIONS As A Way To Help YOU Buy Real Estate Affordably!

Now, the question you may be asking yourself right now is, "What Really Is Mean't By The Term 'OPTIONS' As Used In Real Estate Investing And How May You Use And Apply This In Your OWN Real Life Situations?"

Well, dear prospective real estate investor, Options are a special form and group of creative finance strategies or techniques used in the world of real estate investing to enable you - the buyer - have CONTROL of a piece of real property using ONLY very little money down or indeed any other form of consideration such as personal goods like cars for instance, even though PROPER OWNERSHIP of the said piece of property may be months and years away if ever! Note the language used here ; it is about gaining CONTROL and NOT OWNERSHIP for the time being whilst you work your way around to gain Complete PROPER OWNERSHIP of the said property in question within an agreed upon time frame with the seller.

The rationale behind all this is simple. It is simply this : You - the purchaser - buying the option gives the seller a certain SMALL amount of money or indeed any other form of consideration as earlier on alluded to in one of the paragraphs above in exchange for the RIGHT to buy the seller's property at an agreed preset given price within a defined and desired time frame.

BUT, WHAT THEN DO YOU STAND TO BENEFIT AS A BUYER FROM SUCH AN ARRANGEMENT?

Well, dear real estate investor, you as a buyer stands to benefit by locking in the price in advance inspite of appreciation and taking control of the seller's property without putting in a gargantuan cash investment outlay or indeed any other huge form of consideration. This therefore gives you enough breathing space to organize yourself and arrange for more funds from other reasonable sources.

There are about Five (5) distinct variations of the Option Strategy you may use as a buyer and/or seller of real estate.

As a "Dyonko" or "Sample", here is just one of these variations for your personal consumption and eventual assimilation. Read below.

THE LEASE OPTION STRATEGY

The lease option strategy is one of the most common and frequently used Option Strategies used by many shrewd real estate investors - both buyers and sellers - respectively! Buyers who don't have enough funds and sellers who happen to be in great urgent NEED of Cash can use and apply this same strategy in their endeavors.

BUT, HOW DOES THIS STRATEGY OPERATE IN ACTION?

Well, this strategy can be applied by buyers who don't have enough cash or equity. It is a strategy that entails using whatever available equity or consideration one might have at his or her disposal as Option Money whilst at the same time settling for purchase of the said piece of property later on when enough funds have been organized from other sources. If you happen to strike a good deal, the seller may give you complete CONTROL of his property as consideration for your commitment thereby allowing you to earn a little extra income through a Sub-Lease Arrangement. And this extra income you earn through a sub-lease arrangement can be saved and added on top of any other funds you organize to help you finish paying for the property in question within an agreed time frame!

For instance, if you work in a stable company or rather if you own and run your own business and happen to receive a regular and steady flow of income, you may use the Real Estate Purchase Agreement or Contract to enable you source for more funds from either your employers, banks or indeed any other valid and reasonable source of funds to help you finish paying for the said piece of property in question and close the deal within the agreed upon time period.

BUT, WHAT IF YOU'RE A SELLER, HOW DO YOU BENEFIT?

Well, if you happen to be a seller, you benefit by first of all retaining the property as your own until such a time the buyer finishes paying for it. Secondly, you benefit by retaining the tax advantages associated with property ownership whilst at the same time locking in the sale in advance at an agreed and acceptable preset price and thirdly and finally, you benefit by getting the Option Money or indeed any other form of consideration should the buyer decide to back out of the deal.

Therefore, the Option is a very powerful strategy indeed that both buyers and sellers can use should they find themselves in serious liquidity problems when it comes to buying and selling of real property!

For example, I know and I've read of a number of real people that have successfully used this very same technique in their own real life situations to acquire real estate property. And their is nothing standing in your way if you wish to apply this same strategy in your own real estate transactions except yourself.

You could therefore use it right this very moment to help you buy the property of your dreams!

So, the next time you find the property of your liking, try to entice the seller to enter into a "Rent To Own Agreement" with you and see what happens. Remember that this is but just one of the many other strategies you could employ in your asernal of techniques.

And therefore, if you haven't yet signed up for the entire E-Course Training Series on how to buy real estate using very little or none of your own money at all, then do so -> HERE now. You'll be glad that you did!

NOTE : Looking for property to Buy, Sell, or simply to Rent, then please click on the highlighted words right in this very sentence.

So, until next time, stay blessed.
