You're listening to the flip houses like a girl podcast where we educate, empower and celebrate everyday women who are facing their fears, juggling family and business, embracing their awesomeness and wholeheartedly chasing their dream of flipping houses.
00:00:17.940 --> 00:00:27.839
Each episode delivers honest to goodness tools, tips and strategies you can implement today to get closer to your first or next successful house flip.
00:00:28.410 --> 00:00:34.289
Here's your spiky-haired breakfast taco loving host house flipping coach, Debbie DeBerry.
00:00:39.149 --> 00:00:40.920
What is going on you guys?
00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:44.969
I hope that whatever you're up to today, it's an easy one.
00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:49.079
My day has been not so easy.
00:00:49.380 --> 00:00:57.210
It's been so frustrating and it's one of those days where I'm like, Oh my gosh, I just want it to stop.
00:00:57.270 --> 00:00:58.829
Just make this day go away.
00:00:59.189 --> 00:01:04.980
But that's part of this whole house flipping world, right?
00:01:05.010 --> 00:01:09.299
And running your own business and being responsible for all the things.
00:01:09.689 --> 00:01:10.620
It's just part of it.
00:01:10.890 --> 00:01:13.109
So I'm definitely not complaining.
00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:14.519
It's just one of those days.
00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:30.840
And what happened was if you're following along on the follow that flip series and you watched the most recent video, you will have seen that there was a permit issue that came up last week.
00:01:31.769 --> 00:01:51.510
And what happened there was that the inspector that we drew, and it is totally luck of the draw, the inspector that we drew for that particular day was a new inspector and apparently had a lot to prove.
00:01:51.930 --> 00:01:58.950
So he started just making certain things up and he, it was just bad.
00:01:59.609 --> 00:02:06.780
But he did say we needed a permit, an electrical permit, because we changed out light fixtures.
00:02:06.810 --> 00:02:07.260
All right.
00:02:07.290 --> 00:02:10.680
And I've just never heard that in my bazillions of years.
00:02:11.069 --> 00:02:12.240
But okay.
00:02:12.300 --> 00:02:21.330
So we did that and we're obviously trying to do this renovation within the city's code guidelines or else we wouldn't have pulled a permit at all.
00:02:21.449 --> 00:02:21.810
Right.
00:02:21.811 --> 00:02:29.340
So we had an inspector out there because we had pulled a permit for the work that we thought needed a permit.
00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:37.560
So we handled that, we thought, and the inspector went out today to inspect all of that.
00:02:37.561 --> 00:02:38.189
But guess what?
00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:40.080
It was a different inspector.
00:02:40.789 --> 00:02:42.419
Oh no joke.
00:02:42.420 --> 00:02:43.020
You guys.
00:02:43.110 --> 00:02:50.849
So this inspector found other stuff and it's like, Oh my gosh, it's kind of like opening a can of worms.
00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:52.889
It's just like never ending.
00:02:53.219 --> 00:02:55.740
However, that's fine.
00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:01.219
Part of this business is problem solving.
00:03:01.490 --> 00:03:08.810
So if a problem comes up and it totally paralyzes you and freaks you out, that's the wrong reaction to have.
00:03:09.530 --> 00:03:15.949
You can 100% get angry and annoyed and frustrated and fuel all of those things.
00:03:16.430 --> 00:03:18.800
And also you have to get into action.
00:03:19.009 --> 00:03:28.099
So great, be angry, be annoyed, be frustrated, and then take action to resolve the problem.
00:03:28.430 --> 00:03:42.979
So I went into my local Facebook groups where I trust people's recommendations for contractors and I found a couple of electricians in there and I scheduled appointments with them.
00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:52.310
One of them has already gone out there, another one will go out in a couple of days and another one will go out in a couple of days as well.
00:03:52.340 --> 00:03:56.000
So get into action, solve the problem.
00:03:57.110 --> 00:04:04.219
Like I say, flipping houses is managing people, projects and problems.
00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:06.409
Okay, so they're going to come up.
00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:13.400
It's inevitable and you learned something new on each flip, which is really one of the reasons why I keep coming back.
00:04:14.330 --> 00:04:15.979
I love that.
00:04:15.980 --> 00:04:17.480
Not every project is the same.
00:04:18.019 --> 00:04:22.850
That doesn't mean that I love the things that come up.
00:04:23.750 --> 00:04:27.439
So I have definitely been kept on my toes today and that's okay.
00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:35.060
Alright, I also want to give a shout out to a listener who left an awesome review.
00:04:35.209 --> 00:04:47.750
You guys, I am so thankful because honestly the ratings and the reviews that you are leaving for this little podcast of ours, they make a huge difference.
00:04:48.139 --> 00:04:59.779
So the more ratings and reviews I can get, the more ratings and reviews we can get, the better we, the higher we appear in search results.
00:04:59.781 --> 00:05:09.110
So when people are searching for the topics that we're covering in these episodes, we will rank higher if we have more ratings and reviews.
00:05:09.110 --> 00:05:18.620
So if you would please, if you're getting any value out of this show, would you please be so kind as to leave a rating and review.
00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:35.389
And again, that just helps me in my mission to instill in just one more person, one more woman out there that she absolutely can't successfully flip houses.
00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:53.149
And then those little kids, those little eyes that are watching her, whether they are her own kids, whether they're her grandkids, her nieces and nephews, her neighbor's kids, they see the fire that is lit in her eyes and the passion and the drive and the motivation.
00:05:53.329 --> 00:05:54.709
That's freaking awesome.
00:05:55.589 --> 00:05:57.329
How amazing and contagious that is.
00:05:58.050 --> 00:06:00.389
That's what we're after here.
00:06:00.540 --> 00:06:08.399
Okay, so I appreciate it and I just want to share with you what Courtney five to eight had to say.
00:06:09.209 --> 00:06:11.610
The title of it is inspiring.
00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:18.029
I've been thinking about flipping houses for a very long time, but I never knew how to get started without being rich.
00:06:18.449 --> 00:06:27.329
Debbie's podcast is exactly what I was looking for, step-by-step and specific practical advice from somebody who has been there and succeeded.
00:06:28.019 --> 00:06:31.769
Courtney, thank you so much for leaving that review.
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:36.329
I'm so grateful that you took the time to share this feedback with me.
00:06:36.420 --> 00:06:36.810
Thank you.
00:06:36.810 --> 00:06:37.110
Thank you.
00:06:37.110 --> 00:06:37.560
Thank you.
00:06:39.379 --> 00:06:40.620
Alright, so let's get into it.
00:06:40.620 --> 00:06:58.050
What I want to talk about today are hard money lenders and we're going to talk about what they are, why would you want to use them, how they work, and also what is the difference between a hard money lender and a private money lender and all sorts of things.
00:06:58.110 --> 00:07:00.120
Okay, so let's just get into it.
00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:17.279
So I'm sure that initially when you hear the term hard money lender, it probably has a negative connotation either you've heard horror stories of predatory lending practices that happened years and years ago.
00:07:17.639 --> 00:07:25.589
Fortunately those lenders are no longer on the scene or just the sound of the name hard money lender.
00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:35.189
Like to me it sounds like if I don't pay, somebody is literally going to take me out back behind the property and like take me out at the kneecaps.
00:07:35.279 --> 00:07:35.610
Right.
00:07:35.610 --> 00:07:36.660
And nobody wants that.
00:07:38.189 --> 00:07:39.149
Rest assured.
00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:42.360
That is not why they're called hard money lenders.
00:07:42.389 --> 00:07:42.870
Okay.
00:07:43.500 --> 00:07:45.509
So why are they called hard money lenders?
00:07:45.511 --> 00:07:57.870
Well for the most part they are qualifying the property, the hard asset versus qualifying the property and the borrower.
00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:27.149
So a lot of times hard money lenders really are just making sure that the property meets their guidelines, that the purchase and the renovations and the after repair value are all in line and they're reasonable, reasonable as in you're not saying that a 3000 square foot house needs$10,000 worth of renovations.
00:08:27.540 --> 00:08:29.670
I mean that's completely unreasonable.
00:08:29.670 --> 00:08:31.110
That's not realistic.
00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:33.450
So that's what I mean by reasonable.
00:08:33.509 --> 00:08:33.840
Okay.
00:08:33.841 --> 00:08:47.009
So the way they usually work their funding is they will have a certain amount of the ARV or the after repair value that they will lend.
00:08:47.429 --> 00:08:47.909
Okay.
00:08:47.940 --> 00:09:04.470
So if they will lend up to, let's just say they will lend up to 70 of the after repair value of the ARV of what the house will be worth once you're done with the renovations.
00:09:04.559 --> 00:09:04.919
Okay.
00:09:04.921 --> 00:09:07.110
That's what we're talking about when we say ARV.
00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:32.190
If they will land up to 70% of that and you can keep your purchase price and your renovations and even your carrying costs all underneath that 70% then you can fund the deal in its entirety through hard money.
00:09:32.730 --> 00:09:36.750
Now this day and age, it's harder to do that.
00:09:37.049 --> 00:09:41.610
It isn't impossible, but it's gotten a lot harder to do that.
00:09:42.299 --> 00:09:48.059
Let's just say that the house will be worth$100,000 when you're done.
00:09:48.269 --> 00:09:48.750
Okay.
00:09:49.649 --> 00:10:04.889
If they will lend up to 70% of that, they will lend$70,000 so if the purchase price is, this is just for the sake of easy math in my brain, okay.
00:10:05.450 --> 00:10:19.200
If, if the purchase price is 40 grand, the renovations total, we'll say 15 grand and the carrying costs are another 10 grand, that's 65,000 right?
00:10:19.201 --> 00:10:21.000
40 1510 yeah.
00:10:21.029 --> 00:10:21.509
Okay.
00:10:21.539 --> 00:10:22.259
Good job, Debbie.
00:10:22.500 --> 00:10:28.860
All right, so that 65,000 obviously that's less than the$70,000 that they will lend up to.
00:10:29.279 --> 00:10:29.519
Okay.
00:10:29.520 --> 00:10:33.029
So that's how they do the financing.
00:10:33.030 --> 00:10:39.750
That's how they work the numbers and that's how they qualify properties and not necessarily borrowers.
00:10:40.379 --> 00:10:58.919
Now, when I say they don't qualify borrowers, it completely depends on who you're talking to, which hard money lenders you're talking to and exactly what they're requirements are, their terms and their requirements vary lender by lender.
00:10:59.220 --> 00:11:10.470
That's why it is absolutely crucial that you speak with each one that you're interested in potentially working with and ask them all the very same questions.
00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:12.960
That way you're comparing apples to apples.
00:11:13.889 --> 00:11:14.279
Yes.
00:11:14.280 --> 00:11:17.580
There's that term that I've said before when I was talking about comps.
00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:19.860
It holds true for this too.
00:11:20.659 --> 00:11:25.399
You want to make sure you're asking the exact same questions to every single potential lender.
00:11:25.549 --> 00:11:26.059
Okay.
00:11:27.019 --> 00:11:30.710
And frankly the same goes for private money lenders.
00:11:30.860 --> 00:11:33.500
Now you might be thinking, what's the difference Debbie?
00:11:34.039 --> 00:11:35.779
Well it kind of depends.
00:11:35.780 --> 00:11:56.960
So it used to be that hard money lenders were more, Oh along the lines of a company, so maybe they have lots and lots of investors who pool their money together and put these loans out.
00:11:58.039 --> 00:12:11.570
Whereas a private money lender, which is like an average person that has money and wanted to invest it well over time those terms have become interchangeable.
00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:36.220
Much like some other terms when it comes to talking about financing, for example, a lot of lenders, a lot of hard money lenders are using terms like loan to cost and loan to value and ARV interchangeably and they are not the same thing at all.
00:12:37.210 --> 00:12:53.379
And it's very confusing for consumers and that's why, well that's another reason why I say you've got to be asking them all the same questions so that you can get the exact information you need to make informed decisions.
00:12:54.580 --> 00:13:05.350
Now, depending on the lender that you're talking to, they may or may not look at any of your credit or financial credentials.
00:13:05.470 --> 00:13:05.950
Okay.
00:13:06.100 --> 00:13:20.620
So I've never had a hard money lender or private money lender request tax returns, income statements, bank statements, or even my social security number.
00:13:21.460 --> 00:13:21.460
Okay.
00:13:22.509 --> 00:13:27.759
The trade off for hard money loans, right?
00:13:27.760 --> 00:13:42.460
You're paying higher interest even though they're short term loans, you're paying higher interest and in return they should only really be qualifying the property.
00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:48.909
And most of them did only qualify the property.
00:13:49.330 --> 00:13:56.710
And then I'm sure they made some really bad investments and then they decided, well, some of them decided, you know what?
00:13:56.711 --> 00:14:06.940
Maybe we should qualify the borrower a little bit more too to save our butts a little bit more, but we aren't going to reduce the interest rate or the points at all.
00:14:06.970 --> 00:14:22.539
We're just going to keep things the same, but we're also going to qualify the borrower saw, so shop around, okay, because I've been doing this since 2008 and I've never had to show anything about me personally, my business, nothing.
00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:27.250
It has always been, does the property qualify?
00:14:27.370 --> 00:14:27.909
Okay?
00:14:29.759 --> 00:14:32.309
I mentioned higher interest rates.
00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:37.629
Please don't get distracted by that.
00:14:37.779 --> 00:14:42.940
A lot of people get so hung up in, Oh my gosh, they charge 12% interest.
00:14:42.941 --> 00:14:44.440
I'm not doing hard money.
00:14:44.830 --> 00:14:49.720
You guys, hold on, take a deep breath and let's break it down.
00:14:51.480 --> 00:14:56.009
Let's say you're borrowing$250,000 okay?
00:14:57.059 --> 00:15:03.740
And your projected profit is, I don't know, let's just say$45,000 alright?
00:15:04.679 --> 00:15:14.700
You're borrowing$250,000 and if they charge 12% that means it's 1% per month, so you're paying$2,500 a month.
00:15:15.149 --> 00:15:30.990
Okay, and let's say you have the property for three months, so that's$7,500 that you're paying in interest in order to make a$45,000 profit.
00:15:31.830 --> 00:15:33.299
I think that's okay.
00:15:35.250 --> 00:15:36.990
It's a short term loan.
00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:41.009
It is not intended to be used long term.
00:15:42.360 --> 00:15:43.980
You've got to be flipping properties.
00:15:44.210 --> 00:15:46.620
You've got to be in and out three to four months.
00:15:47.639 --> 00:15:52.590
If you're doing bigger projects, great, the prophet better be bigger too.
00:15:52.710 --> 00:16:09.210
You've got to have better margins on those bigger, longer projects, but don't get hung up in, Oh my gosh, they charged 12% interest because I hear it time and time again and people are saying it just because they've heard other people say it.
00:16:09.419 --> 00:16:11.820
They've never actually leaked, broken down.
00:16:11.850 --> 00:16:24.090
What does that mean in terms of monthly payments and is that reasonable for the profit I'm going to make in the end because I say yes, which is why I use it.
00:16:25.320 --> 00:16:33.809
Another term you're going to hear in reference to hard money lenders or private money lenders is points.
00:16:34.679 --> 00:16:38.190
Now, points is something that is charged upfront.
00:16:38.820 --> 00:16:42.059
So let's say the lender charges two points.
00:16:42.450 --> 00:16:44.879
What I commonly see is two to three points.
00:16:45.269 --> 00:17:02.159
So if the lender charges two points, that means 2% basically, if you're borrowing$2,500 and they charge two points, that's$5,000 now, ideally, again, that's going to be wrapped up in the entire loan.
00:17:02.460 --> 00:17:16.019
If not, then yes, it's going to be something that you're going to be coming out of pocket at closing or you're going to borrow private money and cover that and any other carrying costs if you don't have cash for that.
00:17:16.619 --> 00:17:28.619
Okay, so points and interest rate, those are the two big things you're comparing when you're comparing hard money lenders.
00:17:28.890 --> 00:17:32.039
But there are other questions you've gotta be asking as well.
00:17:32.339 --> 00:17:32.910
And guess what?
00:17:33.089 --> 00:17:34.170
I'm going to share those with you.
00:17:34.200 --> 00:17:35.880
So look for a link in the show notes.
00:17:37.140 --> 00:17:42.509
Now, some of you might be thinking, well, why wouldn't you just use a traditional loan?
00:17:43.079 --> 00:17:45.809
So let's talk about the big differences.
00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:46.289
Okay.
00:17:46.980 --> 00:17:54.910
As an investor, you're having to act very quickly and close very quickly.
00:17:55.720 --> 00:18:05.500
One of the reasons why a distressed property owner would even sell to an investor is because it's a quick closing.
00:18:05.859 --> 00:18:10.809
So they're going to be cashed out in seven maybe 14 days.
00:18:11.170 --> 00:18:14.019
That's why we get discounted properties.
00:18:14.140 --> 00:18:14.529
Okay.
00:18:14.740 --> 00:18:18.430
Cause we can act fast and we're not requiring all these ridiculous repairs.
00:18:18.789 --> 00:18:22.240
We're not traipsing through the properties at all hours of the day.
00:18:22.809 --> 00:18:25.869
Like what might happen with a traditional MLS listing.
00:18:25.930 --> 00:18:30.299
So they want a quick closing.
00:18:30.930 --> 00:18:37.410
Traditional banks will take 30 to 45 days typically to close a residential loan.
00:18:38.019 --> 00:18:40.150
We don't have 30 to 45 days.
00:18:40.809 --> 00:18:42.190
We've got to get this done.
00:18:42.609 --> 00:18:44.890
Usually within seven to 14 days.
00:18:45.670 --> 00:18:48.160
Hard money lenders can act very quickly.
00:18:48.730 --> 00:18:50.019
Same for private money lenders.
00:18:50.020 --> 00:18:50.380
Okay.
00:18:50.680 --> 00:18:52.329
They are one in the same now.
00:18:52.480 --> 00:19:03.579
So I explained earlier that they did originally have some differences, but now there are private money lenders calling themselves hard money lenders.
00:19:03.580 --> 00:19:06.519
There are hard money lenders calling themselves private money lenders.
00:19:06.549 --> 00:19:07.089
Okay.
00:19:07.630 --> 00:19:19.329
Regardless of what they call themselves, the benefits of working with them are quick closing and usually only qualifying the property and not the borrower.
00:19:20.819 --> 00:19:30.869
And you can usually finance the vast majority of it, oftentimes without a required down payment, unlike a traditional loan.
00:19:32.069 --> 00:19:41.490
So those are the reasons why most real estate investors are utilizing hard money lenders or private money lenders.
00:19:41.519 --> 00:19:42.000
Okay?
00:19:42.390 --> 00:19:45.240
And that's why we'd done it for decades.
00:19:46.400 --> 00:19:50.150
All right, let's talk about what types of properties that you can use.
00:19:50.151 --> 00:19:51.019
Hard money line.
00:19:51.650 --> 00:19:54.349
Well, you can use them on all kinds of properties.
00:19:54.769 --> 00:20:00.680
Single family, multifamily, residential, commercial land.
00:20:02.150 --> 00:20:13.039
Again, usually the driving factors are you need quick money, you don't have great credit and you don't have a ton of cash to access.
00:20:14.579 --> 00:20:18.380
That's a prime opportunity for private money or hard money.
00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:19.250
All right?
00:20:19.519 --> 00:20:27.819
Now they are not going to land on an owner occupied property, okay?
00:20:27.820 --> 00:20:34.690
They are going to land on specifically on investment properties, vacant investment properties.
00:20:35.799 --> 00:20:40.720
Something else to keep in mind is a hard money lender or a private money lender.
00:20:40.720 --> 00:20:43.630
They're not going to want to be in second lien position.
00:20:44.230 --> 00:20:45.369
What the heck does that mean?
00:20:46.539 --> 00:20:59.890
So let's say you want to save on the points and the interest rate and you're convinced that a traditional loan is the way to go.
00:21:00.579 --> 00:21:10.480
All right, so let's say you close on that traditional loan, you buy the flip and you're like, okay, now I'm going to go get private money for the renovations.
00:21:10.630 --> 00:21:12.250
It does not work that way.
00:21:12.789 --> 00:21:15.849
They do not want to be in the second lien position.
00:21:16.480 --> 00:21:19.690
Most investors don't want to be in the second lien position.
00:21:20.230 --> 00:21:20.859
Why?
00:21:21.430 --> 00:21:34.960
Because when there's a foreclosure, the person or the entity that's in the first lien position is going to get paid off first before the person or entity in the second lien position.
00:21:35.380 --> 00:21:43.240
And if there's not enough money to pay off both liens, the person in the second lien position is usually the one that gets screwed on that.
00:21:43.690 --> 00:22:02.319
So they aren't going to want to be in the second lien position, which is why it's best to take out a loan for the entire amount, either all of the purchase price and renovations and carrying costs or the full amount that they will allow.
00:22:02.559 --> 00:22:02.799
Okay.
00:22:02.800 --> 00:22:20.470
Let's say they allow 70 grand, it's a$100,000 ARV and they'll allow the 70% so they'll end up to$70,000 just like our previous example, take out the entire$70,000 that's a first lien of$70,000 okay.
00:22:20.829 --> 00:22:21.849
That's how to do that.
00:22:22.599 --> 00:22:28.599
I've seen people get caught there where they think, Oh, I'll just go get alone, I'll go get a hard money loan it.
00:22:28.809 --> 00:22:42.730
It just doesn't work that way and a lot of times people are stuck in a house that they own and it needs lots of repairs but they don't have cash to make the repairs so they think I'm going to go get a hard money loan.
00:22:43.359 --> 00:22:44.380
They can't do it.
00:22:44.710 --> 00:22:47.680
Lenders do not want to be in the second lien position.
00:22:48.190 --> 00:22:50.500
Okay, so please keep that in mind.
00:22:50.750 --> 00:22:51.789
That super important.
00:22:52.630 --> 00:22:56.529
Again, the terms are going to vary from lender to lender.
00:22:57.250 --> 00:23:09.160
The percentage of ARV that they will lend up to, for example, whether they require a down payment, how many points they charge, what their interest rate is.
00:23:09.490 --> 00:23:13.839
All of the terms are going to vary lender to lender.
00:23:14.829 --> 00:23:16.450
So use that.
00:23:16.480 --> 00:23:17.289
Awesome.
00:23:18.309 --> 00:23:29.589
21 questions that I'm providing you in the show notes or if you're listening on my website, scroll down and download the 21 questions.
00:23:29.590 --> 00:23:35.440
You must ask every single hard money lender including private money.
00:23:35.470 --> 00:23:35.920
Okay.
00:23:36.190 --> 00:23:38.920
Remember we're including private money lenders in there as well.
00:23:39.609 --> 00:23:47.779
It's how you can make sure that you are comparing all of the terms and I'm going to say it apples to apples.
00:23:47.990 --> 00:23:49.099
Sorry I had to say it.
00:23:49.970 --> 00:23:51.829
So how do you find hard money lenders?
00:23:51.830 --> 00:23:53.390
How do you find private money lenders?
00:23:53.450 --> 00:23:56.599
Well first of all, you can do a Google search.
00:23:56.839 --> 00:23:57.319
Okay.
00:23:58.160 --> 00:24:02.420
Secondly, join local Facebook real estate investing groups.
00:24:03.380 --> 00:24:13.130
They are great resources for contractors, lenders, stagers, electricians, plumbers, everything.
00:24:13.490 --> 00:24:15.529
So for your local community.
00:24:15.530 --> 00:24:18.230
They are great resources for that.
00:24:20.150 --> 00:24:35.450
Additionally, along with the 21 questions, I've provided a few very useful links that take you to various directories and also you can get lenders to compete for you.
00:24:35.660 --> 00:24:43.579
And I'm going to share one of my lending links with you where you can put what you're looking for.
00:24:44.000 --> 00:24:49.789
You can put up all of the terms of your specific deal and get lenders to fight for you.
00:24:50.089 --> 00:24:57.319
Okay, so check the show notes or if you're listening on my website, scroll down for all of those links.
00:24:58.339 --> 00:25:08.059
All right you guys, I think I have pretty much capped out on what I can share with you about hard money lenders.
00:25:08.660 --> 00:25:19.339
We touched on the big things you need to know and the main things really are those questions that I'm sharing with you.
00:25:19.849 --> 00:25:20.839
Please use them.
00:25:22.309 --> 00:25:32.160
The feedback that my students get when they use them is, Oh my gosh, you are way more prepared than most people I talk to.
00:25:32.630 --> 00:25:37.430
Okay, so go in to these conversations prepared.
00:25:39.730 --> 00:26:19.089
I want to quickly before we end this episode, I want to quickly give you some big red flags to watch out for when it comes to hard money lenders and it's not the actual hard money lenders, it's the con people out there who are getting into different Facebook groups and pretending to be a legitimate hard money lender and telling people terms that sound really, really great, but then what they're doing is they're saying that you have to wire them money in order to proceed with their lending.
00:26:19.900 --> 00:26:22.150
So never, ever, ever.
00:26:22.240 --> 00:26:24.279
Why your anybody money?
00:26:24.549 --> 00:26:38.170
Okay, please hear that all money, any lender at all should be handled by the title company or whoever closes deals in your state.
00:26:38.230 --> 00:26:43.740
Whoever closes the transaction, that's who gets to the money.
00:26:44.130 --> 00:26:44.609
Okay?
00:26:44.730 --> 00:26:48.240
Do not wire anybody money outside of the transaction.
00:26:48.809 --> 00:26:54.210
All money needs to go through the title company or the closing agent.
00:26:54.390 --> 00:26:54.690
Okay?
00:26:54.691 --> 00:26:56.009
That's really important.
00:26:57.420 --> 00:27:02.430
I don't care how nice the person seems, I don't care how great the terms sound.
00:27:02.759 --> 00:27:06.299
There are people who do bad things, okay?
00:27:06.300 --> 00:27:09.509
And I don't want you to get taken advantage of, okay?
00:27:10.230 --> 00:27:11.940
That's all I needed to say about that.
00:27:13.410 --> 00:27:17.400
All right, you guys, that's it for today's episode.
00:27:18.269 --> 00:27:28.230
I have a couple of announcements, so one is if you aren't already following that flip, go to follow that flipp.com and register.
00:27:28.230 --> 00:27:43.470
We are on week five and they're completely done with the renovation and in a couple of days my stager, my incredibly talented stager is coming in and working his magic and then we get to list it.
00:27:43.740 --> 00:27:55.769
So super exciting things are happening there if you're not already follow it because I'm also sharing some really great tools with those who are registered for that video series.
00:27:56.490 --> 00:28:17.130
Secondly, if you are on the fence or at all considering joining my group of amazing women who are wholeheartedly chasing their dream of flipping houses, my awesome coaching and mentoring tribe.
00:28:17.670 --> 00:28:28.960
If you are interested at all or on the fence at all, it will behoove you to act now versus in 2020 because prices are definitely going up in January.
00:28:29.670 --> 00:28:41.700
So if you want in on the number one training, empowering, coaching, mentoring and support program there is for women flipping houses.
00:28:42.240 --> 00:28:43.200
That's us.
00:28:43.400 --> 00:28:54.900
All right, go to first, flip done right.com and then follow the three step process that is very clearly defined about how to learn with me in the tribe.
00:28:56.490 --> 00:29:06.660
Registration will only be open for a short time and then it will be locked down for the rest of 2019 so take action.
00:29:08.609 --> 00:29:24.240
If you recently followed that three step process, but you didn't act quickly enough and registration closed on you, which I've gotten some emails from a couple of you, reach out to me and tell me, Debbie, I'm freaking ready.
00:29:25.380 --> 00:29:26.279
Let's do this.
00:29:26.279 --> 00:29:28.920
I'm terrified, but let's do this.
00:29:29.430 --> 00:29:36.150
Yo, that's the point to be terrified and do the big scary thing anyway, because guess what?
00:29:36.539 --> 00:29:48.190
I am 100% here to support you and I do not take that lightly and I am not saying that just to say it.
00:29:48.819 --> 00:29:52.539
The support you get inside the program is unbeatable.
00:29:53.440 --> 00:29:54.250
How do I know that?
00:29:54.400 --> 00:29:57.670
Because it is the number one mission of my program.
00:29:58.569 --> 00:29:59.589
[inaudible] beatable support.
00:29:59.829 --> 00:30:00.369
Okay?
00:30:01.210 --> 00:30:06.700
There's nothing to upsell you on once you're in your in, all right?
00:30:06.730 --> 00:30:11.380
It's an awesome family and we love and encourage the heck out of each other.
00:30:11.569 --> 00:30:11.890
All right?
00:30:11.920 --> 00:30:13.660
So do that.
00:30:13.720 --> 00:30:35.589
If you're sick and tired of not making the progress that you want to make, you're sick and tired of trying to figure it out on your own, and you're sick and tired of seeing people around you flipping houses when you know that you would create a much better product.
00:30:36.069 --> 00:30:36.609
Okay?
00:30:37.769 --> 00:30:46.559
All right you guys, thank you so much for sharing this journey with me and spending time with me today.
00:30:46.589 --> 00:30:47.579
I appreciate it.
00:30:47.730 --> 00:30:48.630
I really do.
00:30:49.710 --> 00:30:55.319
So until next time, go out there, flip houses like a girl.
00:30:55.890 --> 00:31:01.170
Leave people and places better than you find them and make it a great day.
00:31:01.710 --> 00:31:02.309
Bye y'all.
