MENU OF TOPICS Introduction of Investing The where, what and how’s? This class covers the basic investment strategies used by successful investors. These are flips, pre-construction, joint venture spec homes, buying ugly, distressed, bank owned, HUD homes, including market timing, financing, two-year move, buy and hold. We also discuss how they are impacted by market timing, financing issues (i.e. How many properties can I own? and are what are the interest rates), tax issues, cash flow and property management concerns. And many more issues are discussed. First Time Buyer First home buyers have many questions. When is the best time to buy? How much can I afford? What are the tax consequences? How much down payment do I need? What is APR? What is the best type of loan? How much are the closing costs? Do I need a REALTOR? Why? What does the title company do? Do I need homeowners insurance? The training covers these and many more. Move Up Buyers So you’re ready to move up. Do I sell my current home or rent it? What my home worth and how do I find out? Do I need a REALTOR or is it better to handle the transaction myself? What are my financing options? Can I qualify for the home I want? Do I build a new home or buy existing construction? What is my payment going to be? How much are closing costs? What is the best time of year to sale my existing home? When is the best time to buy? Get these answers and many more. Buying New Construction Building a Dream Home. Is it a dream or a nightmare? Do I hire a contractor? Manage the build myself? Who gets the financing? Do I buy an improved lot or unimproved? What are the build time frames? Do I make payment during construction? What if I don’t like the way the home turns out? Building permits? Subcontractors? We cover these questions and give you a basic understanding of the process. Multi-Family Multi-family home will work for first time home buyers that want to begin investing as well as seasoned investors. They have many of the same issue and any investment properties with a twist. These will be discussed along with winning strategies and goals. Commercial Now here’s a horse of a different color.
