My Favorite in last year’s Seller’s Market

Not enough room for Energy Package

Takes more money than most of us have

Not enough room for Energy Package

This can move a hard to sell house.

Opens up a bigger pool of buyers who aren’t as demanding of concessions (may need to

combine with #8 to get your cash back)

A good choice if Plan A (#2) doesn’t work. You get your money

back and keep going

Spent Too Much OrMis-Judged The Neighborhood

These two usually go together.One causes the other.

If you find potential buyers saying, “Great house, but not quite the neighborhood we’re looking for”... It may be time

to switch plans from #2 to #8.

It will require refinancing for you to stay in the game

Economy, Market Changes

These two may be connected but maybe not.

The Economy was pessimistic 2 years ago, causing most

investors to “sit out”That made for a great

buyers market.Now Optimism has brought hordes of investors back in,

reducing the inventory, making good deals harder to find and

more difficulty to sell at a high price

Buyers Market - Sellers MarketWhen more buyers come into

the market, like now, the

inventory shrinks and good

deals are harder to find.

These homes then flood the

market making good prices

harder to obtain at time of

sale. This may indicate a time

to change exit strategies.

(from 2 to 8, for example)

Life & Philosophy ChangeI’m moving to Virginia

(Following the Grandbabies)GreenEarthEquities will

continue in California with the team we have created.This removes one of my reasons to prefer only

flipping(Disliking Landlord Issues)

Because those responsibilities will now fall to my associate, I can now

consider #8 BRRR

Options Change

I am not suited for landlord responsibilities, preferring to design new systems, spend time with grandbabies and

protect my wife from pirates on cruises. Since Rob will

now be assisting me in taking care of those issues,

the #8 BRRR exit strategy becomes a viable option.

Changing Directions:

Original Plan:Retail Flip Strategy # 2

Changes:1. We mis-judged the neighborhood.75% of potential buyers discounted

us for “neighborhood”

This home appraised $7000 under asking price (our first one)

2. It’s become more of a buyer’s market

Challenges Of Changing:The home was purchased with

Line of Credit Money. This needs to be kept turning over, so it’s good for flipping but not

for holding and renting

Solution: #8 BRRR (Refinance)

Refinance Details5.25% 30 years70 - 75% finance

This gets all or most of our cash back to do the next project.

Maximum Flexibility

With the Refinance in place

we are not locked in to any option.

We can:

1. Rent It.

2. Lease-Option It

3. Sell It

The low appraisal makes it less likely we’ll sell it nowEspecially since it is renting for a healthy cash flow.

Other Options:

1. We could have LOWERED THE PRICE and sold for cash.

Not totally out of the question but definitely not a first option.

We have found that people with “A” credit seem to

demand more price concessions. This is also more common when the property is

listed on MLS.

Oh,No!
