Max Cash Flow Now: Finding an agent’s “pocket deals” for your investment portfolio will increase rental property income. A pocket deal is slang for real estate a Realtor may know is about to be listed or a present listings price is about to change.
It was a year ago a Realtor called to say she had a listing that a bank had foreclosed upon, but was having difficulty getting any offers and was lowing the price $20,000, (about 20%) and that it would take effect the following day. We made arrangements to see the property and put in an offer that same day. As no other buyers were able to submit an offer within the 24 hour deadline of our offer, ours was accepted. We got a great deal.
Once you have found your great deal, what are you going to do with it? Rehab and flip, or rehab and hold? If you’re considering holding and building a real estate portfolio of rental properties don’t settle for a small monthly income while you are waiting for real estate prices to rebound. Instead, why not go for $1,000 month in net rental income per property?
We learned of our REO agent because we called on another listing which had the term REO in it’s listing remarks. REO stands for real estate owned, and is the nomenclature for a listing that was probably foreclosed upon by a mortgage lender. We went on to clear a monthly rental profit of $1,300 on the above mentioned property and then turn-keyed it to another like-minded investor four months later for a $35,000 return. The new investor kept our program in place and now he is clearing the $1,300 monthly.
You may already know and maybe not but some real estate brokerages cultivate relationships with a bank’s asset manager, who will list many of the properties that it has in it’s inventory. Therefore, it’s important to build a relationship with these specialized brokers. We recommend that you avoid signing an exclusive representation agreement with any particular agent, as you’ll build relationships with many of them.
