About The Structuring Offers Checklist

Structuring offers is a deceptively simple concept. You can learn the basics in a couple hours, but it takes analyzing hundreds of deals to really start to understand the subtleties. Use the Structuring Offers Checklist as crib sheet to remind yourself of some of the key concepts you will need when analyzing deals and structuring offers to sellers.

In the Structuring Offers Checklist we cover most of the basic strategies for analyzing deals including an all cash offer which is based on the 70% minus cost of repairs formula. As an aside, some investors use 65% minus cost of repairs and some people use whatever the maximum percentage their hard money lender will loan minus the cost of repairs.

For most of the offers that I structure I want to calculate the net operating income first and so we include that as a prominently placed, early step on the checklist.

We do include sub checklists for structuring subject to, lease option and owner financing offers as well which are very important if you are trying to buy properties using any of those creative finance strategies.

We also address structuring offers if you plan to wholesale the property with the key consideration for doing that being: knowing what you wholesale buyers are willing to pay. Knowing their buying criteria allows you to structure offers where they are excited to buy even with your wholesale fee included.

Until my next post,
