And if I don’t know that number I can’t use your formula to make an offer. Please help. I’m stuck.” * Bernie from Ocala, FL, “I own 23 rentals free and clear. I’m ready to sell them and I’m willing to owner finance. I want the income. Can you find me a buyer?” * Not a realtor, but out of the 2 mil or so who might be listening I imagine we have a few buyers. Contact us here and we will put you in touch. * Victor from Colorado Springs, CO “I found you on iHeart radio and love the show. I know I’m asking something that’s been asked before, but I’m looking at an abandoned house that got partially burned about a year ago. I’m wondering how to figure out how much to offer. * Melanie from Pittsburgh, PA. “I have been looking for funding for my deals. I found this source online that is offering to set me up with a $4M credit line. I filled out their application and was approved the next day. We are ready to go to a closing, but I am supposed to pay a 1% ‘success fee’. They want that money before they will schedule the closing. That’s $40,000. I don’t really have that much right now. They suggested I borrow it from a friend and repay the friend once I close on the line. This doesn’t feel right. Your thoughts?” * Anderson from Hammond, IN “I applied online with a hard money lender. They appear to be reputable and I have some friends who have borrowed money from them, which is how I found them. They are asking me to pay a $500 application fee which they say will cover the cost of the appraisal and opening up a file. I remember you saying to never pay a lender up front, but this seems legit to me. Am I getting ready to make a big mistake?” Anderson named the lender in his email, which we are not going to name here, but we researched them and Anderson, they are a legitimate company. This amount is actually normal and customary.
