We closed on our 5th house deal since we bought one of Dean's books. At the time this deal came to our attention we knew we did not have the money to swing this deal and not being one to pass on a good deal I used OPM to close this deal. My sister Alison and her husband helped us doing leg work on a past deal and they wanted to get in the REI adventure also. I asked Alison if she wanted to get in on this deal and she said yes. She had the cash to pay her half of the deal.
We needed to come up with our half some how. While we were at the Edge 2011 event we signed up for some advanced training. We really wanted to spend two days brainstorming with Dean and Matt. If you signed up for the advanced training you received Dean's direct e-mail (do not ask me for it) Veronica being the smarter business person told me to just ask Dean for a PML or HML so I sent Dean an e-mail telling him about our deal and that we needed money. The next thing that happened was I got a call from Private Money Bank and they told me that Dean Graziosi told them to call me. All right it does pay to know people that know how to get things done. Thanks to Dean.
We were able to get a HML for 80% of the purchase price and my sister was paying the down payment closing cost and repairs. My sister will still make over 30% on her money invested in this deal so it is good for her also. There are people you know that have some money in the bank getting .05% ROI and when you show them they can get 30% they will want in on your deal.
Now the rehab begins and on to the next one.
Just to clarify that this is our 5th purchase of a house not our 5th deal. Renting a house out for positive cash flow is also a deal.
I want to thank Dean Graziosi, Alison, Bob and Patricia at Private Money Bank and of course my partner for life Veronica for making this deal happen.
God bless the DG Family

You are right the hard part is getting the funds. What I have found is you have to share deals some times at first to get deals funded. Thanks to Dean he hooked us up with a good HML that helped us out big time. We have had used a personal loan before to purchase properties then used money from that deal to buy others. Our money was tide up in a rehab not finished yet but we did not want to pass up on this great deal.
Thanks for responding Keith

Hey Steve, thats good stuff. Its nice to know you can make a call and BAM you have it right there for you. We have found a great deal and are deciding if we want to do more then one at a time, this one would take us getting a PML or HML. We'll see. Keep up the good work Jarhead!

Hey Jack. It is a little crazy working two houses at the same time but the big players do more deal than that at a time. I hope you get the next deal soon.

Thank you for the kind words. Yes Dean did help a lot with this deal. Before I was having a hard time getting a HML to work with us and then with Dean's help this new HML worked out great.

I am so glad you just keep on going, slow and steady, but each deal you do, the next deal will come quicker and quicker!! Proud of you! Now let's do a wholesale deal together!
BTW, if anyone wants to use this private money lender, I can vouch for them. I posted about them on another thread here, and they actually will lend up to 100% of purchase price, nationwide, depending upon the deal. (http://www.deangraziosi.com/real-estate-forums/financing-and-credit/9293... for full details on it so as not to steal the thread )
You can learn more here http://www.privatemoneybank.com/tammyr . I'm an affiliate (have been for over 5 months) and will give you a % of the small amount I earn if you use the funding through my link. Sometimes 80-100% of purchase price turns out to be more than 65% of ARV in states like CA where HMLers add so many fees to justify and put 'skin in the game'.
Again, Steve and Veronica, you rock!
Thanks for the kind words. We do want to move a lot faster.
If anyone wants to use the HML we used click on Tammy's link above on post #13.
I hope we can do a wholesale together soon Tammy you keep on rocking also.

How the heck are you. How are things going in the Blue Grass State? I am sorry Thomas when did I say PMB would not work for me. I tried a lot of HML before and they would only loan 65% of purchase price. Any how Dean was in contact with PMB and I got a call right away and they worked with me like if I was someone important.
It is good to hear from you Thomas I still remember our dinner together at the 2011 Edge.

Well payday is coming on this one. I was just talking to the bank that is doing our refi and the appraisal came in at 80k. I was hoping for 90k but 80k works. I will be taking out a loan for 80% and that will give us 64k we paid 35k for the house and my sister has put 14k into it for repairs. we will have 15k to split. Then we are trying to sell this house for the 80k and we will split the rest of the money then.
Thanks to Dean hooking us up with a HML we have less than 1k in the deal on our end.

We were going to get a refi loan on this one and maybe rent the house out if it did not sell. My sister held an open house two weeks ago. The person that was going to buy the property before us was one of the persons that looked at the property during the open house. She did not buy it due to the mold issue in the basement and it needed a new furnace. After all of the repairs and paint the place was looking good. The person that back out of the deal before us just offered us 72k for the house. So in 30 days or less we will have this one sold. I talked to the bank that we were going to do the refi with telling them to put the refi on hold. The banker asked me if I knew the name of the person how put the offer in on the house. It turns out that he just aproved the buyer for the loan. So my banker will still get to sell a loan on the same house.

Great going! You are really doing great!!!
Thank you for the kind words Tammy. We are doing OK still not going as fast as we would like. This property so far has been the best deal as far as a turn around. Every day we learn more about what not to do next time. The best part is my sister is making good money on this deal. She has been doing most of the leg work to get this deal done.
Tammy take care and tell the family I said hi.
