Not in the best part of town, but still amazing value for the house...

Here are a couple of the interior:

I just did a real estate search for Rochester and made myself sick. I could literally afford like 10 houses there and in western Washington I can't afford even a single house.

Actually no. So far, these have been straight bank foreclosures.

I have a couple people that want the house for much more than I paid for it.

Next year, Im going to do what is called "contract assignments". I would identify houses, "buy" houses by showing proof of funds, and sign the purchase offer with "myname or asignee". That way, I can charge someone else a few grand more for the house and simply walk away... no money spent - pure proffit.

Real estate kicks a$$.

Something different yet again... Ill be doing Lease Options too next year.

This is where you own a house, and lease the house to someone who agrees to buy the house at a later date (12-24 mos. out). They have to put down a non-refundable deposit (3%).

One of the benefits of this is that the seller will hold the asset for 12+ months, and escape with 15% capital gains tax instead of 35%.

Sounds like a lease option. Maybe I just know it by a different name. Good luck yo, sounds like you are doing well.

If anyone is seriously interested... PM me... I plan on being involved with 50-75 of these types of deals in 2006. Many with investors from out of state.

Thats actually the model that I and my Realtor are setting up for next year. We already have 2 clients from out of state. Once from Cincinnati, the other from Boston. One wants to do about 3 houses next year, the other wants to do about 30 :eek: .

Neither will step foot in NY, but will retain title and liability for each house. We will simply charge a consulting fee, a rehab management fee, and of course the Realtor fee for the sale. All in all, we will be looking at 13% fees on total sale price of every property. This will still deliver about 30-35% ROI on each house, and about 100% ROI annually.

Not a bad little side biz that can quckly grow into a full time gig! :thumb:


There is nothing like making coin the good al' fashioned American way, that's for sure. Owning your own biz and working hard at it.... and slackers think that working for someone else for salary is the ticket to freedom... :p

You can thank college for that... they don't do much except teach people to work for someone else.
