Frequently Asked Questions
What is my total out of
pocket to purchase a property?
This depends on the property and the price. In most cases, you'll be out of pocket 20% of the purchase price (which averages about $14,000). Keep in mind that when you consider the cash flow for most properties, this money is typically earning over a 20% yearly return on cash flow alone. Where else can you get a 20% return on your money?
What are the terms of the financing?
It really depends on the property and how the financing is structured. Typical investor financing involves a 30 year fixed rate loan with an interest rate slightly higher than an owner occupied purchase.
Who performs the repairs
on the house?
We use ProServe Home Solutions, LLC to perform the repairs.
(ProServeHomeSolutions.com)
Can I see exactly what work
is or has been done on the property?
Yes, when you buy a property
through us, we will give you a login to our website. This login will
give you access to the original estimate that was created by ProServe.
You will also get before and after pictures of the property so you can
see exactly what was done.
Can I actually see the property
before I purchase it?
Yes, we encourage our investors
to see the property in person. If you are out of state, we are more
than happy to have you fly into Atlanta and show you around our properties.
Who places the tenants in
these properties?
We assist our leasing agent,
Janel Sellier with Osteen Realty in placing tenants. Our website, AtlantaLeasePurchase.net
is one of the top websites in Atlanta for Lease Purchasers and Renters. We work
closely with our preferred agent to make sure she places good tenants in these properties.
How many properties can
I buy?
This will really need to be
determined between you and our loan officer based on your credit score,
income, assets, debt to income, etc. Currently, Fannie Mae allows you
to purchase up to 10 properties.
What happens if I lose my
tenant?
If your tenant moves out of
the house for any reason, you can work with our preferred leasing agent to replace
them with a new tenant. We will also put your property back on our website
to assist in replacing the tenant as soon as possible.
How long
are your lease contracts written for?
We typically structure our
leases as 24 month lease purchase contracts. The tenants are put in
credit counseling and have the ability to purchase at any point during
the 24 month lease. - If we put a renter in the house rather than a lease
purchaser, it is more typical to have a 12 month lease.
