FAQ:  How Does KleverInvestor.com Find Wholesale Deals?

 

Answer:  The team at Klever finds DISCOUNTED properties in a number of ways including: buying properties direct from homeowners looking for a cash offer either because they don't want to deal with listing it or because they are in some kind of distress including going through a bankruptcy, divorce, out of state job transfer, burned out on being a landlord, etc.  We find these leads through all facets of marketing including our online presence, direct mailings, word of mouth, referrals, door knocking, etc.  We spend a tremendous amount of money in marketing, and we have a team that just works with homeowners on a daily basis. Lastly we work with the investors that buy at auctions and are actively seeking partners to buy at the auctions.

 

 

 

FAQ: How Does KleverInvestor.com Work With Local Realtors?

 

Answer: What do we know to be true in today's market?  The majority of the people that are buying are first time homebuyers approved by FHA guidelines, and investors looking for deals.  Klever has working relationships with local Realtors in the valley and nationwide.  Our goal is to work with as many Realtors as possible as we realize we can't be everywhere all the time and Realtors help out tremendously by educating their clients on how to buy properties NOT on the MLS.  They educate their clients on the process of buying heavily discounted properties WITHOUT inspection periods, with all cash or hard money, and in as little as 24 hours.  The Realtors team up with Klever giving them several exit strategies for each property, contacts for refinancing, rehab, and tenant placement.   If you are a licensed agent we sometimes pay more than the standard 3%.

 

FAQ: How Do I Get Paid As A Realtor?

 

Sometimes we will build in commissions (3% - 5%) into our price that we need to "net" at closing.  If not stated that there is a commission built in, most Realtors "mark up" the property to their desired commission.  The price on the site is the price we need to "net" at closing.  All other costs are absorbed by the buyer i.e. "buyer pays closing costs".  All mark ups from our net price will be paid in the form of a commission on the HUD or an assignment/double close on the HUD.

 

 

FAQ: Why Can't We Use Conventional Financing To Close These Deals?

 

Answer: Three main reasons why conventional financing is not an option when buying "most" properties from Klever (every once and awhile we have properties that will qualify for conventional financing).  The first reason is we are all aware that the guidelines of conventional financing changes quickly and often which sometimes means one day a client might be qualified only to find out that they don't qualify on the day of closing because a guideline or a restriction has been implemented.  The second reason is that our deals are heavily discounted compared to the MLS and the best ones sell to investors who have the fastest means to take the property down.  The third reason is that a lot of our properties won't pass FHA appraisals as most need flooring/carpet throughout, sometimes utilities are off, and others need a complete rehab.

 

 

FAQ:  I Want To Buy Discounted Properties From KleverInvestor.com, But I Don't Have The Cash To Take Them Down…What Can I Do?

 

Answer:  You can use "hard / private money" to buy the properties

 

 

 

FAQ:  What Is Hard / Private Money?

 

Answer:  Hard / Private money is used by most investors even if they have their own cash to close on investment properties and they later refinance into a conventional loan.  Hard / private money is CASH leant out by institutions or individuals to investors that buy discounted properties at rates of anywhere between 14%-20% annually (usually only a 30 day minimum).  Basically, it is private money that you can borrow within 1-5 days instead of 15-30 days conventional lenders might take! All hard money lenders are different just like all conventional lenders are different.  Some charge application fees, a point or two up front, etc.  They all vary and there are different programs for different properties.  KleverInvestor.com has relationships with hard and private money lenders that can fund our deals within 3 days!

 

 

 

FAQ: What Should I Tell My Clients About The Process Of Buying An Investment Property From kleverInvestor.com?

 

Answer: 

 

1. Discuss what criteria they are looking for including: desired location (zip codes are the best way to narrow searches), bedrooms, bathrooms, purchase price, how much repair the investor is willing to do, and any other specific criteria that they desire.  NOTE: most realtors/investors/clients meet with one of our portfolio planners to discuss strategies and resources necessary to accomplish a portfolio right for them.

 

2. Follow up with one our hard money lenders or make sure the investor has the proper funds to be able to close on a property that fits their "purchase price" criteria.  They should be pre-qualified with a conventional lender to REFI out of the hard money soon after closing or when the property is ready for an appraisal.

 

3 Call Klever to discuss the criteria with one of our wholesale experts and then get the properties over for your clients to review.  NOTE: the majority of our properties never hit the website as they sell to our investors that are waiting for properties.

 

4. Identify a property of interest and calculate the necessary numbers (value, repair cost, holding costs, etc), evaluate multiple exit strategies, include "worst case" strategies, etc.

 

5. Make an appointment to see the property only AFTER you and the investor have done your full due-diligence on the property.  The main reason for a walk through is to make sure the pictures of the properties are accurate with what is actual. 

 

NOTE: We sell the majority of our properties to people that we have done business with in the past, and they understand they buy based on due-diligence, exit strategies, and portfolio goals not on emotions or the fact they don't like the color of the carpet.  These properties are HEAVILY discounted and have room to put your own touches on them.

 

6.  If the investor wants to buy the property they are to submit a contract that day and within 24 hours put down a $2500 NON-REFUNDABLE earnest deposit. 

 

7. The investor closes on the property between 24 hours up to 10 business days after the contract is submitted; all terms are in place before earnest deposit is required.  CASH AND HARD MONEY ONLY
