@Alex Ulloa Are you still in in the DFW area?

@Saar Bm We focus on foreclosures and pre-foreclosures. We provide a service to those homeowners while have the resources to be able to wholesale homes. We pride ourselves on putting homeowners first. The core of our business is wholesaling SFR and buy and hold commercial assets.

We have pivoted on our marketing and how we approach doors and cold calling. Partnering with reputable resources that distressed homeowners can utilize even if we as a company do not benefit from initially (This has built trust with a lot of homeowners). Always asking for referrals and warm introductions from vendors or bankruptcy/foreclosing attorneys after providing true value or business to them.

@Brock Bolte Thank you for your response. Yes, that is broad but to answer your question more directly. Yes, I am a principal buyer and also wholesale. I have bought, flipped and held SFR and large commercial real estate as a principal in Texas and Georgia. In addition, we have flipped land and developed multifamily on land. We love JV partnerships and splits if everyone can win on a project.

@Brock Bolte I handle mostly acquisitions. Every once and while I get a decent SFR deal that does not quite fit my buyers so I like to partner with people who may have buyers that will take it. One of my favorite SFR transactions was getting a elderly homeowner substantially more equity by partnering with them. I did so by converting their oversized 2 bed home into a 3 bed, which significantly increased the property’s value. The home was owned free and clear, and I structured the deal with the homeowner so that I would fund the renovation costs and receive a small but fair percentage of the equity upon sale. As part of the agreement, we placed my rehab funds and equity position in first lien position for protection. In the end, the owner realized substantially more value than expected simply by adding the extra bedroom. I have a few good, bad and downright horrific stories of deals I have done or been apart of. Here are a few good meetups around DFW that I highly recommend: https://meetu.ps/e/PKdGh/1fNm1W/i https://meetu.ps/e/Q3gnq/1fNm1W/i https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1988778119893?aff=oddtdtcreator https://www.eventbrite.com/e/invested-in-texas-real-estate-meetup-tickets-1492667942999

The creative finance options would depend on the homeowner's situation then the details of the property. If she’s open to creative financing after the listing expires, that’s where the real opportunity is. I’d focus on her motivation and what outcome she actually wants, then see if seller financing, subject-to, or another structure can solve it in a way that works for both sides.

This is powerful because it forces us to quickly recognize that, at the core of this business, we are truly in the people business. There is a real moral responsibility to put the homeowner’s best interest first, even when that means walking away from a transaction or continue to help the homeowners that may not result in a profit. I can honestly say that some of the most meaningful experiences we’ve had came from choosing to serve the homeowner first, even when there was nothing in it for us financially. Those moments built trust, strengthened our reputation, and earned us genuine respect in the market. In my experience, that kind of integrity has produced far more quality business over time than any single deal ever could. Luke 6:35
