Getting Rich in Today’s Market

With Bank-Owned Foreclosures and “Rent-Smart” Lease Options

by Andy Heller

There are literally hundreds of wealthbuilding strategies available for real estate investors. Some are more lucrative than others, and many are simply way too much work for the money that an investor hopes to make. Fortune Magazine recommended Andy Heller’s “Buy Low, Rent Smart, Sell High” strategy among the top five recommended strategies for real estate investors. Like so many of us, Andy started investing part time, pulling aside a few hours each week for his hobby. Scott Frank and Andy Heller have approximately 40 years of combined real estate investing experience. During this time, they have bought, rented and sold approximately 100 properties. They have done this

while holding full-time jobs and putting their families first.

Getting Started

The lack of success of Andy and his partner Scott’s “buy and flip” plans led them literally by accident to a goldmine called buy low, rent smart, sell high. When Andy and Scott found buying properties from distressed sellers to be

tedious, hard work, and depressing, they discovered by accident a hidden gem in the foreclosure process…BANK OWNED REAL ESTATE. With bank-owned real estate an investor is able to purchase MULTIPLE PROPERTIES from single sources, without emotions, and with clean and clear title. Once purchased, when Andy and Scott were

unable to flip their first home after 9 months on the market, they modified the typical lease/purchase deal to come up with their unique rent smart and sell high formula. Their SHORTEST lease is 3 years, and each of their tenants accepts responsibility for repairs and maintenance. High turnover, nightmare tenants, and lengthy vacancies are non-issues when you “rent smart.” The Buy Low, Rent Smart, Sell High program offers at its core a win/win formula for

everyone the investor comes in contact with: sellers, tenants, and others. The seminar will cover the three pillars of real estate investing:

Buy Low

1.Learn how to consistently purchase real estate below market.

2.Learn how to identify the right type of property for your preferred investment model.

3.Learn about the best ways to buy discount properties today. Take a deep dive into the Buy Low, Rent Smart, Sell High preferred method of buying low: bank-owned foreclosures (aka post-foreclosures and REO Properties).

Whether it is buying a second home or acting on the long-planned dream of retiring to a sun destination, Baby Boomers are moving to Florida to take advantage of a well-deserved rest from the corporate world, or other nine-to-five path they had been on. The current excess of properties at reduced prices in Florida provides a perfect opportunity for new retirees to purchase a home and join the fun in an active community.

Of course, the old adage “location, location, location” still applies when purchasing a retirement property in Florida. Baby Boomers are at an age where they can take advantage of activities such as golf, water sports, biking and other outdoor adventures. The life span for healthy Baby Boomers will allow them to still be celebrating birthdays long into their 80s or 90s. However, aging also means needing easy access to medical facilities, which is part of their decision making when purchasing homes in Florida.

As one of the largest demographics in the country at roughly 28%, or 74 million adults born between 1946 and 1964, Baby Boomers were part of the “me generation” and had access to a plentiful job market and a good economy in the 1980s. This allowed people to get into their first home and they took advantage of the rise in real estate. Many people succeeded in putting away funds for retirement and are now reaping the benefits of good planning. Being able to sell their home at a significant profit has further allowed Baby Boomers to purchase their retirement residence in the destination of their choice.

You know a topic is current when there is a conference promoting the subject, like the 2010 Florida Boomer Lifestyle Conference. This event highlights the state’s lifestyle offerings and shines a light on how vibrant this generation is today, and how it will be in the years to come. As the saying goes, “60 is the new 40.” Baby Boomers are taking advantage of all that life has to offer, from education to travel to starting their own businesses. Buying a home in a sun destination is just one piece of their retirement plan.

Many promotional pieces show images of couples enjoying retirement activities, but there are also many single men and women who, after years of marriage, are living the single life and enjoying every minute. These people are Baby Boomers who are also looking into purchasing homes in retirement communities, where they can join in on activities with other adults, either singles or couples.

Information options for Boomers wanting to retire in Florida include a number of books and websites devoted to the topic. In the spring of 2004, a Baby Boomer survey was conducted and it noted that 55 percent of boomers would move when they retire. They plan to purchase a home in an Active Adult Community, and Florida is an ideal choice with its sunny climate and plethora of activities for men and women. Recently, a retirement-based website stated that six Florida cities made the list for 20 Most Affordable and Best Places to Retire.
