Property Investing Secrets:

How You Can Turn A Below Average Deal Into Streams Of Income

When property investing, sometimes you'll get a seller who will say: "Sure, I'm retiring, and I need some cash flow, I need some money but if I deposit it in the bank, I'm not going to get much for it. The property market is falling, there aren't a lot of buyers and they are all beating me up on the price of my house. But if you give me the price that I want, know that I'm not going to be able to live forever. So you're going to have to pay off the balance to me in about 5 years." When you're property investing, you will come across sellers like this. In the past, you may not have known what to do with them. Consider this now; you may be walking past streams of income.

Now, while you're property investing, you've paid $300,00 to the seller and you can turn around and make the property available to a buyer who can't get a bank loan tomorrow, like an investor. A lot of investors who are buying houses get stopped after purchasing 3, 4 or 5 houses because they can't get any more bank loans. Many investors still want to buy property but they're stopped by the banks. So they'd love it if you turned around and said, "Mr. Investor, the house that I've just purchased for $300,000 you can have for $300,000." You don't even have to increase the price of the property because you're looking for streams of income and back end profit.

You make the house available to the next man when property investing for the exact same price that you paid for it and say to the investor: "You make payments to me at the same rate as what the bank is charging." What happens is you've got a buyer who makes you payments at bank interest rates on a house that you didn't increase the price. You sell it to the investor and they pay you 7% interest at bank rates over 25 years. The investor is happy because they didn't have to go through the hassle of getting a bank loan. The investor pays you $2,200 a month electronically into your bank account and you pay the seller $2,000 a month out of your bank account. You make $200 a month as part of your streams of income strategy.

Also, you insert a special condition when property investing where in five years' time your buyer will pay you out at approximately $280,000. You'll pay off the seller at the same time, except at $180,000. You've just made $100,000 back end profit on a house plus $12,000 as part of your streams of income investment strategy.
