Buying options

  1. Option 1 – 1 buyer buys all
  2. Option 2 – 6 buyers, each buying per building (see below)
  3. Option 3 – pull resources as a group – see explanation below

 

Pull resources as a group

For this to work we’d need to pull CASH (financing will come at a later phase) resources from multiple Simply Do It, investors.

Here are the steps needed to execute this:

  1. Each cash buyer picks a unit/s (financing will come at a later phase)
  2. After due diligence – Each buyer put into a temporary LLC the amount needed to buy 1 or more units
  3. The temporary LLC acquires the properties and at closing instead of closing it under the LLC’s name we do a second closing (aka simoustanly closing) and each investor closes it under her/his name.
    In simple terms, the LLC technically owns each property for 1 minute.
    We’d probably form 5 such LLCs – one per building to divide and conquer, and simply the transactions. 
  4. After you acquire/own the property you can get your own financing.

 

FAQs about the group approach

  • What’s the benefit of this idea?
    1.Cash offer – we hope it will help us in getting a better price
    2. It gives you an opportunity to tap into an investment property you may not be able to tap into individually 
  • Why cash? If mortgages are involved it puts the entire transaction at closing on time risk, + it would not be possible to coordinate all appraisal and lenders to the same date and time.
  • Financing
    • Can you get financing after closing? Yes, depending on lenders approval
    • Are the financing terms for such refi same as purchase-mortgage? Typically not identical but similar
    • What if I don’t have $170,000+ in cash? That may mean this is not a deal you will be able to do – let’s find you another one.
    • If the purchase price is $165,00 and the market/appraised value is $185,000 – can I refi base on $185,000? Typically lenders would refi based on CONTRACT price, $165,000 in this example, and not based on market/appraised value unless refi is taking place 12 months after your purchase.
    • What if after I purchase it appraises at $10,000 below what I paid for it? While unlikely, in such an instance a lender will only provide a mortgage based on the appraised price. 
  • Ideally, the whole package sells to 1 investor would be his preference.
  • The minimum seller would do is sell them by the building as outlined below.
  • He won’t sell them 1 door at a time, except for the single unit in Building 6 below.
  • He’s really not interested in selling them 1 door/unit at a time.
