“I have loaned money to Steve many times over the past several years and he has ALWAYS done what he said he was going to do through thick and thin.”
A private money lender’s dream
– 305 Sunrose Lane –
Ever Stumbled Upon an Opportunity that Seemed Just Right?
That’s what 305 Sunrose Lane was for us. The property came from a motivated seller, recently divorced and planning a move overseas. He needed to sell quickly, and that’s where we saw our opening.
Here’s the deal: the house had an ARV (After Repaired Value) of $150,000. We negotiated the purchase price down to $86,000.
Can you imagine?
And guess what? It was in great shape, needing only $1,000 in minor cosmetic repairs and landscaping. With closing and carrying costs at $3,000, our total investment needed was just $90,000.
Now This is Where it Gets Interesting
A private lender stepped in with the entire $90,000. Yes, you read that right – the whole amount. We closed the deal, did the minor updates, and within days, the house was market-ready.
We decided to market it as “Owner Financed,” and here’s the kicker: it sold in just five days for $150,000 on wrap financing. This not only ensured a quick sale but also created a fantastic financing structure for everyone involved.
Here’s How the Numbers Played Out for Our Private Money Lender:
The terms were simple: the buyer would pay $724 monthly, covering principal and interest, for the next six years. Over this period, the lender would receive a steady income of $52,140, plus a capital return of $90,000 when the deal completed its cycle.
Talk about a solid return!
This wasn’t just about making a deal; it was about creating a win-win situation. The property required minimal work, the financing benefited all parties, and the house quickly found a new owner eager for the owner-financing terms.
So, What’s the Takeaway Here?
It’s simple. When you leverage private funds and recognize an opportunity, you can turn a motivated seller’s urgency into a profitable venture for everyone.
Our Private Money Lender walked away with a solid return, and the new homeowners found their perfect house through creative financing. This project at 305 Sunrose Lane is a prime example of strategic investment and the undeniable value of private lending in real estate.
This project is a testament to the power of quick action, strategic investment, and the essential role that private money lending plays in real estate. It’s more than just a financial transaction—it’s about creating opportunities, delivering results, and making a meaningful impact.
