Wow, it’s June already. Have you been consistent and persistent in your marketing efforts? Always keep in mind that marketing is a numbers game. The more you can get your name out there, the more likely it is that a potential deal will come your way. When that potential transaction does present itself and you present the offers to the note holder, sooner or later the note holder is going to accept one of your offers. At that point you will ask the seller for some copies of documents, make a nice package of all of the pertinent information and send it to the funding source to start the due diligence process. So what is in that package? A list of the items requested (that you will ask the seller for) follows:

Document Checklist


Necessary items:

____ Copy of the RECORDED Deed of Trust or Mortgage

____ Copy of the signed Promissory Note

____ Copy of the Closing Statement

____ Copy of the Title Insurance Policy

____ Copy of the Hazard/Fire Insurance

____ Copy of the Payment Record

____ Social Security Number(s) of the Payor(s)


Items we would like to have if available:

____ Copy of the Grant or Warranty Deed

____ Pictures of the property (if available)

____ Complete address of the property with name of nearest cross street

____ Copy of Junior mortgage, if any

____ If a wrap around mortgage, Copy of the underlying mortgage(s)

____ If a junior mortgage, Copy of the Superior Mortgage(s)

____ If a mobile home, Copy of the mobile home title or proof of affixture

____ If commercial, Copy of all leases

____ If condo, HOA (Home Owner’s Association) info


So, when that note holder says “YES” you now have a complete list of the items that are needed to send to the funding source to start the due diligence process. Sometimes the note holder will not have all of the information (like a title policy or settlement statement) and if that is the case just send in a package that is as complete as possible with a note saying that you were unable to get the missing items.

Again, this is the list of documents to get from the note holder AFTER they say yes. We DO NOT need all of this information to give prices and options that is what the worksheet is used for.

Next month we will discuss some negotiating techniques that could help you get to a “yes” faster.

Have a great month. Keep on marketing!

Jeff
