Distressed Deal Playbook for Investors

Free Playbook

Distressed Deal Playbook, Investor Edition

Finding the deal is half of it. Financing it is where most distressed purchases fall apart. This covers both, including the four financing categories and which ones actually close.

What is inside

How to read a filing. What a notice of default or lis pendens tells you, and the three things it does not.
Title and liens. The general priority shape, and when to stop guessing and order a title search.
Underwriting the deal. Repair, holding and exit costs, and the numbers people leave out.
Why conventional financing stalls. Condition, seasoning and appraisal problems on distressed property.
The four financing categories. Which fit which stage, and which I can place for you.

The Database I Point People To

Foreclosure.com pulls county filings from across the country into one searchable database. Start with the free 7-day trial and see what is filed in your county before it reaches the MLS.

✓Pre-foreclosure filings. Notices of default and lis pendens, filed at the county long before a sign goes in the yard.
✓Auction and sheriff sale dates. Scheduled sales with case information, so you know what is coming and when.
✓Bank-owned and REO inventory. Property the lender took back and needs to move.
✓Tax lien and tax deed property. A separate pipeline driven by unpaid taxes, with its own timeline.
✓Search by county, price and type. Filter to the market you actually work. Single family, multi-family, condo, land.
✓Saved searches and email alerts. Set the criteria once and get told when something new is filed.

After the trial the subscription is paid. Cancel during the trial and you are not charged. I earn a commission on paid subscriptions, at no additional cost to you.

Found one and need to know if it can be financed? Send me the address and unit count before you write the offer. I finance 1 to 8 units on DSCR and I will tell you honestly if a deal needs cash instead.
