The great thing about our market isthere are opportunities. There are motivated sellers, people will carry financing, and renters want to stay somewhere nice. My dad always told me there are 3 things people always need: food, clothing, and housing.
I admit, it is not fun to see equity going down, jobs being lost, and people losing their homes. It's not fun taking a call from a client asking why their property has not sold and you have to explain that the price reduction you requested is a must not a suggestion. It's not fun seeing my parents heart sink every time the stock market drops.
However, there is hope. Even the people that have lost everything they have worked for can start moving forward and they do not need to wait years for a market recovery. In fact, many have said they will just start renting and try to qualify for a loan in 3 to 5 years. So here is what these people need to understand. No credit...No money...No problem.
While prospecting THIS WEEK I found 3 great deals that would benefit such a situation.
1. Owner has had a rental for 20 years. He wanted 10% down and then actually said he would take no money down if he got his price. This is in a good are in Salt Lake! He will carry the note for 20 years at 6%.
2. Seller rents property in Utah County and really just wants to stop land lording. Will carry financing.
3. Seller willing to sell their fixed up property at any price to get into their dream home. Yes, carrying the note is an option.
Lets keep pushing. There is hope. The harder we work the luckier we get. Call me, let me show you how.
