CLOSE MORE DEALS IN 2024
A double closing, sometimes called simultaneous closing, is a back to back real estate transaction purchase and sale of a property involving three parties:
1. the original seller,
2. an investor, and
3. the final buyer.
IT’S NOT MAGIC ONCE YOU KNOW THE TRICK
Double closings using transactional lending is an easy way to generate fast cash in real estate. Like other creative real estate techniques double closings can be done legally but it’s the misuse of them that is illegal. A common reason why real estate investors are attracted to double closings is the belief that the investor can use the final buyer’s funds to acquire the property from the original seller. Another common reason for a double closing is to conceal the identity of the purchaser or the seller and/or to conceal the sales price of each transaction.
A rate of return is the gain or loss on an investment over a specified time period, expressed as a percentage of the investment's cost. Gains on investments are defined as income received plus any capital gains realized on the sale of the investment.
New disclosure laws forbid “dry” simultaneous closing, meaning the investor must purchase the property before it is sold. In other words the property must be funded from the investor to the seller so that the transaction ‘stands on it own’. Using transactional lending you can make each transaction a separate stand-on-it own closing. Here’s how the process generally works:
You enter into a contract to purchase a property from the seller and then, before closing on the property, you enter into a contract to sell that property to another buyer for a higher price. You then utilize a double closing to close both transactions at approximately the same time using transactional lending.
BRING IN YOUR REI DREAM TEAM
This real estate technique is not practiced at all title companies or by all real estate professionals. If not practiced often the transaction can be rusty at best. It is always best to build your investor dream team with professionals who are in the know and up to date on creative investing. So use your investor finance for transactional lending team combined with an investor-friendly closing agent from a reputable title company.
When we say “investor-friendly” we mean the professional is familiar with and specializes in working with investors. Like an investor-friendly real estate agent and an investor-friendly tax accountant.
The Say It In 60 session of the main REIA meetings are a perfect time to build a solid REI Dream Team. Plan on asking for recommendations from other investors for the real estate professionals you need in your corner Saturday July 2oth.
In a conventional real estate sale, closing day is the day when the documents are executed by all the parties in the real estate transaction and the real estate sale (and loan) is completed.
An investor can use transactional lending that is more flexible than traditional lending in place of a long-term conventional mortgage for your first closing so you don’t lose your paycheck when the title company says no to a “dry” simultaneous closing.
