When housing inventory is low, where do you go? Foreclosure rates are down, short sales are a hassle, and the open housing market has barely any sellers—is there a better way to find deals? Yes! Enter real estate receivership—the hidden housing inventory that our own James Dainard has been using for years to get better deals than what’s on the market. How do they work, and what’s behind these discounted deals?Attorney Jake Flothe works with receiverships daily and has seen the inside and out of these transactions that most real estate investors know nothing about. In short, receivership is when a court-appointed receiver takes control of a property in order to sell it to pay back creditors on the borrower’s behalf. This alternative to foreclosure and bankruptcy helps many real estate investors and everyday Americans escape a financial bind and can bring better properties to your investment portfolio.Jake gets into the nitty gritty of why someone would go into receivership, how to finance these discounted deals, the vast benefits of receivership over foreclosure or short sales, what the bidding and buying process looks like, and the one clause that could kick you out of an amazing receivership deal.
