It’s Viewer Question Friday and we had a very good question from Janiro…
“When finding 3 properties does the structure have to be the same, for instance when I researched my subject property on zillow the comparable properties were within the one mile radius, they had similar square footage as well as the same amount of bedrooms and bathrooms. However, I noticed that my property was wood with a 2 car detached garage, but the other properties were all brick with attached garages. Is that ok or should I find more properties?”
There are Four Main items you need to consider when developing good comparable sales, they include…

Continuing with our them of flipping houses this month we are looking at a loan program many investors don’t know about, HUD’s 203k mortgage insurance program. This program is not available for investors but is available for home buyers to purchase a home that needs work and finance the rehab costs into the mortgage. This coupled with the First Time Homebuyer’s Tax Credit makes it a perfect way to give a retail buyer a dream home and help you move inventory.

Episode 7 - How do you Calculate Cash Flow to Know if You Have a Deal
Adam had a good question regarding what goes into calculating cash flow on a rental property.
“When investors talk about a property cash flowing, does that mean at 20-25% down payment? What if you put down 30 40 60 etc.”
Analyzing cash flow has been up for debate by many investors for a long time. We prefer to take a more conservative approach and make sure we include all of our one time and recurring expenses when we calculate cash flow. The one thing it doesn’t do though is tell you if one deal is better than another. Instead it is more of a minimum criteria calculation to quickly weed out properties that don’t make the cut.

Episode 6 - Changes to HAMP May Mean 2nd Lien Holders are Willing to Play Ball on Short Sales
On Friday Bank of America agreed to work with the federal government on their second lien holder plan in the HAMP program. This means that they will start to work with mortgage companies who hold the first mortgage on properties in loan modification deals. Reducing the second mortgage payment can help a lot of homeowners qualify under the governments criteria that they only pay 31% of their gross income to housing. Just as importantly for us it may signal the beginning of better relationships between banks on short sales. Maybe this is finally our chance to get both of them to play nice and get our smoking hot short sale deals where there are two lien holders approved!
