- [Who Made More Money](https://davedinkel.com/who-made-more-money/): Thanks for watching "Who Made More Money" and to find out more about my mentoring program, click below:
- [My Seller Ghosted Me, What Now?](https://davedinkel.com/my-seller-ghosted-me/): I received a panicked call from an investor that his seller had ghosted him. The seller had wanted $1.2 million, and he had it resold for $1.7 million. He went on to explain how great the deal was, even to the extent that a neighborhood property had sold for $2.2 million. You can understand his anxiety with a $500,000 profit at stake.
- [What It’s Like to be a Successful Wholesaling Realtor©](https://davedinkel.com/successful-wholesaling-realtor/): click on image above to view the video or read the transcript below
- [Stop Listening to “There’s No Real Estate Deals Out There.”](https://davedinkel.com/no-real-estate-deals/): I'm Dave Dinkel and this is a deal talk. It’s a student’s first deal. Typically, I never put a date because the content should be timeless. However, the date of this first deal is August 2021 and the reason I'm doing this - there seems to be a constant roar out there, “There’s no real estate deals. I can't find any. What am I doing wrong?”
- [My Mentor Student is All In on Real Estate Investing Commitment](https://davedinkel.com/real-estate-investing-commitment/): click above to watch the video or read below for the transcript
- [The Power of a Hold Harmless Clause in Real Estate Investing](https://davedinkel.com/hold-harmless-clause-in-real-estate-investing/): Too many real estate investors want a “Clear and Marketable” title from a seller when they purchase a property. In a perfect world every title should have no deficiencies or defects when you buy a home, rental or commercial property. For many reasons including defaulted mortgages and code violations and other liens or judgments, clear title is more of a rarity than common place.
- [The Invisible Agent Syndrome in Real Estate Wholesaling](https://davedinkel.com/real-estate-joint-venture-agreement/): In the realm of wholesaling real estate it is very common for another wholesaler to bring a buyer and be compensated through a Joint Venture Partnership Agreement (JV).  This is not a real estate commission in any sense of the word as long as a JV Agreement is in place.  What has been changing in the recent past is how many people are in this chain of JV Partners.
- [Is The Real Estate Market Too High?](https://davedinkel.com/real-estate-market-trends/): The current real estate market trends are that ever since the mortgage crisis ended a new round of players has come on the scene. These are the hedge funds and larger moneyed players who have raised new money or shifted it from the risky stock market. Their insatiable buying has partially caused an unprecedented rebound in many areas of the country in single family home prices.
- [Should You Ever Sign A Hold Harmless Agreement At Closing?](https://davedinkel.com/ever-sign-hold-harmless-agreement-closing/): Typically a hold harmless agreement is between a buyer and seller and the intent is to pass on any liability associated with the property to the buyer.   It is important to read the agreement before signing it as you need to understand what you could be getting yourself into after you own the property.
- [Who Is Supposed To Pay For the Title Policy In Real Estate Closings?](https://davedinkel.com/real-estate-closings/): With real estate closings, I get this question all the time especially when Realtors® and investors tell Students what “has to be” to close the deal.  In our state we have three choices for who pays for the title policy and associated work involved to issue the title policy.  This has nothing to do with clear and marketable title versus insurable title.
- [Simply Solving a Problem Beats Out Higher Cash Buyers](https://davedinkel.com/real-estate-investing-beginners/): The property that my Student acquired was being fought over by at least a dozen other investors at the same time he got the deal.  This is a case of giving the seller what he wanted with the result the price the seller received didn’t matter to him.  I tell Students that investors are problem solvers and we provide solutions to homeowners’ worst problems and for this service we get paid very well – this is an example:
- [What if You Don’t Check an Assignability Option?](https://davedinkel.com/real-estate-contract-assignment/): Let’s first talk about why it even matters. There are three types of real estate contract assignment. In this case the investor “B” would be the Assignor and the “C” buyer would be the Assignee.
- [It’s Amazing What Closing Attorneys Don’t Know](https://davedinkel.com/real-estate-closing-attorneys/): Actually this problem of real estate closing attorneys and some non-attorney owned closing agents understanding how investors work is not isolated. I am used to working with closing agents and attorneys who do as many as a 100 closings a month with investors and they thoroughly understand how we work. Neither type of closing agents (attorney or not) that we deal with will do anything illegal so let’s clear the air on that.
- [Why Are Heavy Rains Good For Real Estate Investors?](https://davedinkel.com/real-estate-rehabbing/): Heavy rains are good for investors but not because of growing landscaping. Landscaping is the first thing that potential buyers see of a property so it is important. However, landscaping can be made greener by simply adding water from a hose.
- [How Do You Handle Code-Enforcement Bullies?](https://davedinkel.com/liens-and-code-violations/): So how do you handle these people? Suffice it to say that as a rehabber or a wholesaler, you better check on liens and code violations that need to be fixed before you buy a property. Most “non-life-threatening” code issues can be rectified fairly easily, such as un-mowed grass, junk in the yard or even old pit-bull liens.
- [What Is Reverse Home Staging in Real Estate?](https://davedinkel.com/reverse-home-staging-real-estate/): Staging in real estate is where a seller does a temporary beautification of a property.  The furnishings are usually rented or supplied by the listing agent with the intent of selling the home more quickly.  The listing agent may do the staging in exchange for a listing agreement.  However, reverse staging is the opposite of this practice and is actually criminal in nature.
- [How do You Comp Rental Properties in 5 Seconds or Less?](https://davedinkel.com/investment-property-cap-rate/): Many investors have a problem with determining what offer price to make for mufti-family properties. I am not talking about a single family home (SFH) being rented but pure rental income properties. Hedge funds have been buying SFH’s like crazy not because the yields are great, but because of eventual price appreciation when they resell them as SFH’s.
- [Why Can’t I Get My Earnest Money Deposit Refund?](https://davedinkel.com/earnest-money-deposit-refund/): When a buyer cancels because he is tired of waiting to get the deal closed, is that a legitimate reason not to close? Look at your contract because that’s what will govern his losing his EMD or walking away simply because of buyer’s remorse and not forfeiting his EMD…
- [Grasping the Concept of Wholesaling Real Estate](https://davedinkel.com/learn-wholesaling-real-estate/): One of the issues that has often kept newbie investors from getting started is understanding the concept of wholesaling. While the definition may be simple, “Buy a property at one price and sell it higher”, the bigger concern is how this can be done without having money to buy the property.
- [Should You Ever Sign A Hold Harmless Agreement At Closing?](https://davedinkel.com/hold-harmless-agreement/): Typically a hold harmless agreement is between a buyer and seller.  The intent is to pass on any liability associated with the property to the buyer. It is important to read the agreement thoroughly before signing it.  You need to understand what you could be getting yourself into after you own the property.
- [How Many Earnest Money Deposits Did The Seller Collect?](https://davedinkel.com/earnest-money-deposits/): In summary, with Earnest Money Deposits, you should never give money to a seller under any circumstances. The greed factor that makes these scams work is “The deal is too good to be true!” The harder and faster a seller pushes you to close, beware!  Time is your friend, not your enemy.
- [Quitclaim Deed – When and Why It Should Be a Warning Sign](https://davedinkel.com/beware-sellers-offering-quitclaim-deed/): I got a call from a Student asking me if I knew how to help a friend of hers.  The friend had purchased a condo for $35,000 which was well below Fair Market Value (FMV) and seemed to be a good deal.  The seller gave the buyer a quitclaim deed.
- [What Is A Hedge Fund Haircut?](https://davedinkel.com/hedge-funds/): Hedge funds in real estate are not new to the investing game. They have been historically called Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs).  Hedge funds have been around for at least 40 years. Their success has ebbed and waned because they are susceptible to interest rate swings.  As interest rates go higher, the hedge funds value goes down to give the newest investor a higher income.
- [You Made How Much on the Rehab?](https://davedinkel.com/how-much-does-rehab-cost/): I don’t relate these actual occurrences except to help readers understand how things can sometimes go horribly wrong in real estate investing. In this case a very experienced and successful Student purchased a property for $185,000.  He decided not to wholesale it for a quick $35,000 profit. Instead he believed he could get $330,000 if he rehabbed the property.  I changed the prices to protect the innocent (buyer and Student). The Student was correct and he sold the property for $330,000 nine months later.  However, let’s look at what went terribly wrong.
- [Huge Price Drop in Miami Gardens Properties?](https://davedinkel.com/violations-for-non-permitted-work/): Suddenly, like turning on a lightbulb, the city of Miami Gardens has instructed their enforcement officers to start issuing violations for non-permitted work when they do their re-inspections. Some rehabbers have worked this community for years and done many rehabs.  They have been shocked in their recent re-inspections to find that what was always overlooked in the past is now an issue that stops the sale of their beautiful rehab. Conventional lenders will generally not finance otherwise financeable properties if open permits exist at the time of closing
- [Who Owns The House In The Back Yard?](https://davedinkel.com/title-survey/): The Student closed and got title insurance when he closed.  Later on though the County said the structure in the rear was illegal and had to be demolished.  What happened was he tried to get an electrical permit to upgrade the electric and install a water meter.  This case is still out about what will happen but the County has remained steadfast that the structure cannot be permitted and must be torn down.  He has a couple of options including suing the County and making a title policy claim.  He would have had a good chance at getting his money back from the title company if he had gotten a title survey done before the closing.
- [That’s a Great Deal at $30K Profit or Is It?](https://davedinkel.com/real-estate-investing-profit/): In this example, the Student having no money in the transaction, isn’t a bad real estate investing profit.  However, the deal killer here was the end-buyer needing conventional financing and the uncertainty of actually getting timely financing.
- [Agent uses PDF Editor to change State Approved Real Estate Contracts](https://davedinkel.com/state-approved-real-estate-contracts/): A rage that has been going on for some time is the purchase of Homeowners Association (HOA) liens at the foreclosure auction.  Up until the last five years HOAs seldom used the foreclosure process to collect back fees and assessments.   Because most units continued to pay these expenses the HOAs managed to make ends meet and simply sat out the consequences.
- [Attorney Simply Strikes Out Parts of Vital Real Estate Contract Clauses](https://davedinkel.com/real-estate-contract-clauses/): Just when you think you have seen it all something new comes up.  A Student called and asked me to look at a contract he had received back from a seller.  The contract had a large number of changes that were either struck out or written over.  While I don’t give legal advice I do have an opinion on real estate contract clauses and changes sellers or buyers make to an existing contract.
- [As Is Real Estate Contract Does Not Mean As Is](https://davedinkel.com/as-is-real-estate-contract/): It is a very common misconception that when a seller uses a real estate contract designated “As Is, Where Is” that the buyer must accept whatever problem the property has at closing.  The reality is that probably 90% of contracts that are written as "As Is" contracts do not close unless something has been changed or repaired before closing.
- [Are Quitclaim Deeds Simply Rip-offs?](https://davedinkel.com/quitclaim-deeds/): A growing trend in real estate sales is for sellers to transfer title by using Quitclaim Deeds (a.k.a. QC Deeds).  By way of introduction, this type of deed transfers title from a property owner to a buyer with any “encumbrances” or title deficiencies still attached and completely transferred to the buyer.  These title issues or problems can result in an entire loss of the buyer’s money.
- [How Do You Handle $1MM Property Liens in a Wholesale Deal?](https://davedinkel.com/property-liens/): There are property liens (sometimes also called code liens) and then there are PROPERTY LIENS.  They can be for safety issues like unpermitted structures, faulty electrical work or having a dangerous animal.  They can also be for nuisance issues like junk cars in the owner’s yard, not mowing the owner’s grass or even making too much noise.  The fines can be a fixed amount.  They can also be accruing every day.
- [Difficulty with Realtors® – Is This the Lowest Low for One of Them?](https://davedinkel.com/difficulty-with-realtors/): Realtors® can be blessings or curses to investors.  They are seriously overworked, under paid and over-regulated and, frankly, there are just too many of them.  Some make great money but the National Association of Realtors® says that 87% fail their first year.  The median income is just over $45,000 annually.  Nearly every Realtor® I have spoken to became an agent so they could get closer to the market to make money as investors.
- [Danger Coming Soon to Every City – Mandatory Reinspection for All Rehabs](https://davedinkel.com/mandatory-reinspection/): Many years ago a local politician ran for re-election on a platform of reinspections of all properties before their deeds could be transferred.  El Portal in Miami-Dade County had already passed this legislation.  Home values dropped dramatically overnight as homeowners tried to sell their homes with illegal carport conversions and unpermitted rehabs.  The official lost the election and, frankly, I was one of the lead opponents of his getting elected.
- [Real Estate Mentor](https://davedinkel.com/real-estate-mentor-expert-guidance/): As the real estate market has improved and the job market continues to frustrate people, real estate gurus are popping up everywhere and real estate investing along with finding a real estate mentor is looking more appealing to a lot of people. But what should you know about real estate investing before you make a huge monetary investment and the time that goes with it?
- [Real Estate Rehabbers Update](https://davedinkel.com/real-estate-rehabbers-update/): In summary for all of you real estate rehabbers out there, watch out for those ice maker supply lines both at the incoming connection at the refrigerator and at the source connection which may not be at the kitchen sink. I guess the other more important take-away from this is to be open minded when my wife makes a suggestion – it could have saved the damage to the exterior wall and a lot of time. Who knew?
- [Assignment of Real Estate Contract](https://davedinkel.com/assignment-of-real-estate-contract/): How to use an Assignment of Real Estate Contract on something you don't own.  The question that constantly comes up in wholesaling real estate is “How can you sell something you don’t own?” You can’t sell something you don’t own UNLESS you have an equitable interest in the property. As investors this equitable interest takes the form of a signed contract from the seller. It could be an option agreement or other contractual agreement that will allow the investor to purchase the property if and when he is able to do so or by a specific time (closing date).
- [What is the “Year of The Roof” in Real Estate Investing?](https://davedinkel.com/real-estate-investing/): Typically when we think about The Year of something, we think of Chinese calendar years.  They refer to animals such as the Year of the Monkey or the Year of the Tiger.  In this case the Year of the Roof has nothing to do with Chinese calendars.  However, it could be the beginning of a new and shocking reality in real estate investing, especially for rehabbers.
- [Real Estate Mentoring Warning](https://davedinkel.com/real-estate-mentoring/): After years of improving the real estate mentoring materials in our Program based on Student success and failures, I have what we believe is the most significant group of printed materials, individual courses and instructional videos in the real estate mentoring industry.
- [What Motivates Real Estate Mentor Students?](https://davedinkel.com/motivates-real-estate-mentor-students/): Why do real estate mentor students keep coming to Dave Dinkel's change your life real estate mentoring program?  What is their motivation and could it mirror your own?
