$13k in EMD on a $13,000,000 deal ๐Ÿคฏ
Real deal example. Commercial acquisition in Florida. Purchase price: $13 MILLION. ๐Ÿข๐Ÿ’ธ The buyer had everything lined upโ€ฆ except the $130,000 earnest money. So we showed up with it. ๐Ÿ’ช ๐Ÿ’ต Upfront fee: 5% ... collected upfront. ๐Ÿ“ˆ And if it had closed? Another 20% waiting at the closing table! Unfortunately, this one didn't close. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ Died in due diligence, and EMD came right back. But the upfront fee paid the cost of capital and operations, so all was good. We need to swing to get a hit. Who's bringing us the next one ... the one that will close? ๐Ÿ‘€ ๐Ÿ˜‰

Hey Paul - thanks for posting this real-life example. ๐Ÿ˜€ Am I correct in guessing that working commercial deals, like this one, can actually be easier (than small deals) for the RQF staff because the borrowers are more likely to be professionals that have a better understanding of the process and communicate timely?

Hi Steve - I'm new also. Like your website - nice and simple. It gives me a few ideas for creating mine.
Preferred 1st mortgage lenders for Morby Method?
If weโ€™re bringing a Morby Method borrower to RQF for TF and they donโ€™t already have a primary lender, Iโ€™m guessing that using a DSCR (long-term hold) or Hard Money (fix-and-flip) on the RQF site would likely make the whole transaction go much smoother (since those are mortgage lenders that RQF is already used to working with)?

@Paul Brown I think my question was poorly worded, but I just now found one of your previous replies that perfectly answers the question that I was trying to ask: https://www.skool.com/fundinghub/stack-method-dscr?p=f3124cd2 I thought I did a thorough search of previous questions before posting (my question) but I am still learning how to properly use the search function in skool. Thanks, JEFF ๐Ÿ˜€
Echo vs Stack
I emailed this to you Paul, but I thought it could be helpful for all in here. Had a quick question for you on the Echo v. The Stack. I know the basic differenceย is the echo the proceeds come directly from the seller and the stack the money is brought in. I have two questions: 1. What is the key determining factor in why would an investor use the Echo instead of the Stack and vice versa? 2. Specifically on the stack I have the following scenario: A. Client has a homeย worth $220,000, which is also the purchase price. B. He owes $178,000 C. Lender is only willing to lend the client $125,000, BUT the lender is open to 100 CLTV. Question: In this scenario, is it "possible" to run the stack play if the seller holds a $95,000 note (the difference between the purchase price and loan amount, plus closing costs),ย on this particular scenario? Please advise on this.

Thanks for that example - @Ali Fordyce and @Paul Brown
New Member Saying Hello
๐Ÿ‘‹ New Member Intro Jeff Hollyhand Tuscaloosa, AL How long have you been involved in real estate or funding? Iโ€™ve tried a lot of different things in real estate over the past 25 years but embarrassingly, I never stuck with any of them. They were more like side gigs that I was dabbling in (as I worked my full-time career as a Firefighter). Now that I am retired, I hope to find one thing that fits my personality and focus on it. One thing youโ€™re excited to learn or improve: How the escrow agreement between the lender/funder and the escrow company is actually drafted and fully secured (before funds are wired). I know thatโ€™s really specific, but itโ€™s what jumped in my head as I was thinking about this question. Favorite non-work hobby: Keeps changing over the years. Fun one: Early bird or night owl That also keeps changing. Lately night owl ๐ŸŒ™ Glad to be here and ready to dig into the training! ๐Ÿ˜€

Hey man, what was it like dabbling and fighting fires??? It was pretty common for firemen to have several different part time gigs over their career, but after I retired, I noticed a handful of them had stuck with one thing and built a successful business that they could retire and run. Does retirement drive you nuts or are you enjoying it? Before I retired, I would see retirees and ask them what retirementโ€™s like and they would say โ€œI donโ€™t know how I ever found time to go to the fire stationโ€. Now I understand what they meant. ๐Ÿ˜€
