Friend,
As we mentioned in your last issue, there are 10 keys to making $10,000 or more each month wholeslaing houses. Here are 3 more of those keys.
4. Maintain positive relationships with your closing attorney
Typically,
your lender will choose the closing attorney. However, this does not stop
you from developing a relationship with them as well. In fact, if you work
with the same lender a lot (for your purchases or your buyer's), you will find
yourself in that closing attorney's office quite a bit of the time. Learn
the culture of the office. How does it run? What are the personalities
of the staff? What are their names? How do they like to operate?
You will find that all closing attorneys are different.
Some are more laid back while others are more uptight. Some will accept documents
and requests faxed from you, while others want them directly from your
buyer and/or your lender. The key is to find out how to best work with them
so that your deals run smoothly. Find out what you can do to make things
easier on the staff to bank some goodwill, you might need it on a bumpy deal!
5. Maintain positive relationships with your contractors -
Although they tend to get a bad rap, it is
entirely possible to find a competent contractor and to develop a relationship
with him. You may have to go through several contractors to do this, but
it is possible. Your relationship with your contractor is important, because
you need to be able to count on the quality of the work and the prices at which it can be done.
Their prices should be in-line with those
that you have found to be fair and reasonable in the market place and their
quality should be the same. If you are recommending your contractor out, do
your best to make sure that this person is reputable, fair and performs high quality
work. There is no guarantee in this, I have come across some duds myself!
But always do your due diligence. Check with references and view
jobs that they have already completed. And always be on the look out for more contractors. You can never have too many good ones!
6. Improve relationships with your appraisers -
Your
appraiser will also be one that is approved by the lender. This is good
for both you and your buyer. You always want to make sure that your values
are as accurate as possible. The appraiser will make sure of that.
Again, it is worth your time to develop a relationship with the appraiser.
When you do this, you will be able to get them to verify values for you.
This is important if you are unsure about an area and need to make a quick decision.
A lot of the knowledgeable appraisers can tell you values off of the top of their heads.
This is very valuable for you. You also
want an appraiser that will get the appraisals completed quickly. There is
really no reason to wait more than 3 or 4 days for an appraisal. If an appraiser
has you waiting longer than a week, you need to look for someone else. Most
lenders are amenable to trying out new appraisers, if there is justification.
If you are having problems with them, they probably are too. The good
thing is, there are a lot of appraisers out their with experience appraising investment properties
