Real Estate Investment Mentoring and Consultancy. Leverage our extensive legal, financial, and operational experience in managing real estate secured assets to achieve above-market yields, cash flow, and value for your portfolio.
DISTRESSED PROPERTY ACQUISITION, REHAB, AND DISPOSITION
We’ll help you locate, purchase, rehab, manage, and sell distressed properties — one at a time or in bulk.
BULK ASSET ANALYSIS AND STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT
You need a team to analyze and perform due diligence on hundreds of non-performing mortgage notes or bank-owned properties, and a clear strategy to achieve profitability where others see only liability.
ASSET PROTECTION AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT
We help you establish the proper entities in which to hold assets for maximum flexibility and protection.
NON-PERFORMING LOAN ACQUISITION AND RESTRUCTURING
Buying a non-performing note is easy once you know the steps, but turning a bad loan into a re-performing loan can be a challenge. We will help you get borrowers back on track with a restructuring plan, or manage a cash-for-keys or foreclosure process to recover the asset.
DISTRESSED PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
Distressed properties require a special skillset to manage — an experienced team who can determine what needs to be done to maximize marketability and get it done on a budget.
PRIVATE SELLER FINANCING ACQUISITION AND MANAGEMENT
We’ve been buying seller financed real estate notes for 30 years, both as principals for our own portfolio, and for self-directed IRAs, private investors, and equity funds.
REAL ESTATE PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Once you buy a real estate loan, property, or a portfolio of mixed assets, it must be properly managed to control costs while maximizing cash flow from acquisition to liquidation.
COMMERCIAL HARD MONEY / FIX & FLIP LENDING
Through our relationships with direct lenders, we will help you obtain financing to purchase, rehab, refinance, or cash-out equity in commercial real estate.
SOFTWARE, SYSTEMS, AND TRAINING
Designing the systems and procedures for acquiring and managing a portfolio of mixed real estate assets could be the most important component in a successful venture. We’ve done this for our own projects using a variety of software tools and services, and can help you establish programs and train staff to meet your organizational objectives.
SCOTT C. WINN
My experience over the past 30 years has been as an investor in seller financed real estate notes and distressed properties. I am passionate about purchasing “scratch and dent” assets and developing them into cash-flow machines for passive income, and can help you do the same.
I’ll admit I had to read the Rich Dad Poor Dad books twice, because I didn’t “get it” the first time! Years later, the lessons sunk in and became the lens through which I view all investments.
I’m a lateral thinker and excel at finding creative solutions to real estate problems — problem properties, problem loans, problem borrowers. Designing efficient, productive systems for managing real estate projects makes me happy.
Let’s talk and explore how I can help accelerate your success.
We purchased a performing loan on a 100+ acre horse ranch, including a home, arena, barns, etc. The note was purchased at a discount to yield 10.9% with a 62% ITV.
We purchased this note at a substantial discount. When the original payor stopped making payments, we foreclosed and immediately resold the property with seller-financing for 3x our original investment.
We purchased this bank-owned home sight-unseen for $4,600 in a bulk package of distressed properties. The interior of the house was in poor condition. We sold it “as-is” with seller financing for $33,500. The buyer completed repairs and has been making payments for years.
We purchased this bank-owned property that needed plumbing repairs, paint, carpet, etc. We paid $7,000 and then sold the property in less than a week “as-is” with seller-financing for $29,500, and got $7,000 down!
We purchased this bank-owned property for $3,500 in a bulk package of distressed homes. The house needed paint, plumbing repairs, bathroom fixtures, and kitchen cabinets. We sold it with seller financing and had all our money back the first year. The buyer stopped paying and we got it back after a couple of years, then we rented it for a few years after that, then sold it again for cash to an investor. A little bit of hassle, but extremely profitable.
We purchased several packages of REO properties from national and regional banks for 1.1MM. Most of the properties were marketed with seller-financing and some were sold for cash to local investors. Our primary objective with this package was to create long-term cash flow secured by real estate. This package generated 500k in cash and over 3MM in notes paying 30k+ per month.
Here are a handful of actual examples that are representative of the types of projects in which we have been involved. Our primary acquisition targets are mortgage notes/contracts and bank-owned (“REO”) residential and commercial properties that can be purchased at significant discounts.
Some of these properties are referred to as “scratch and dent” because their condition is unknown or repairs may be necessary before they can be marketed to conventional buyers. While they may not be the most attractive properties on the market, we are able to purchase them at greatly reduced prices and realize tremendous profits.
