Bank of America, the nation’s largest mortgage service company since acquiring Countrywide in 2008, announced that they will resume foreclosing on homes Wednesday, December 1st. This comes after the banking giant self-imposed a foreclosure moratorium in the wake of the “robo-signing” scandal that received wide spread media attention in 2009. While this news is undoubtedly another blow to beleaguered homeowners, it comes none too soon for investors looking to purchase post foreclosure properties. In the final quarter of 2010, investors have found slim pickings at Trustees’ Sale auctions across the country. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac also made an announcement on November 24th that they will resume the auction sale of homes that have loans serviced by Bank of America, Chase, PNC Financial and others.
The last several years have seen several cessations and moratoriums on foreclosure proceedings that have caused the pool of available investment properties to dry up until the next wave of foreclosures begins. Many agents have struggled during these times to find suitable properties for their clients. My unique approach to securing homes for my investor clients has insured that we at Wynn Realty Group have actually thrived during these past several years of market flux.
We focus on purchasing properties wherever the best deals are available at the time. This includes Trustees’ Sale acquisitions, short sales, traditional listings and REOs. Once we purchase a property, we perform the necessary rehab and find a lease option tenant. We sell the properties to our investor clients as turn-key, hands off investment opportunities. The properties are already rented to a lease option tenant with CAP rates of between 10-14%. This provides investors with a low risk, low maintenance property with high appreciation potential and built in equity. We also offer partnership opportunities for investors looking to finance our rehabs for an even larger annualized rate of return.
As an example, we recently purchased a 4 bedroom home, 1800+ square feet, only three years old for $84,100 at the Trustees’ Sale. We resold the property only 17 days from the purchase date for $110,000. This particular home did not need any rehab and my investor partner made an amazing 288% annualized return on his money.
A second deal was a 1454 square foot town home with 2 car attached garage (also built in 2007) that we purchased for $70,100. After a quick clean up, we placed a long term renter in the property and resold it 40 days from acquisition date for $88,000. We partnered with an investor on this deal who saw a $6000 return on his money in a little over a month.
We can fully document all of the 24 flips that we have completed just this year alone! If you are interested in purchasing turn-key, high quality investment properties with renter in place; or if you like the idea of partnering on our rehab projects, please contact me to talk about real estate opportunities here in Las Vegas.
