Deal Decision Framework
After underwriting, choose the exit strategy:
| Exit | When to Use | Target Profit |
|---|
| Wholesale | Need quick capital, rehab too heavy, or good margin for assign | $5,000–$20,000 fee |
| Fix & Flip | ARV margin supports rehab + profit, capital available | 15–25%+ ROI |
| Buy & Hold | Strong rental demand, positive cash flow, long-term wealth | 8–12%+ cash-on-cash |
Contract Types
1. Purchase and Sale Agreement (PSA)
Used to put a property under contract. Key terms:
- Purchase Price — negotiated all-cash price
- Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) — typically $500–$2,000 (protects deal)
- Inspection Period — 10–21 days for due diligence
- Closing Date — 14–30 days from contract
- As-Is clause — buyer accepts property in present condition
- Assignment clause — "Buyer may assign this contract"
2. Assignment of Contract
Used to assign the Purchase & Sale Agreement to an end buyer (wholesale).
Key terms:
- Assignor: ProActive Investments
- Assignee: End buyer (investor)
- Assignment Fee: Amount being charged for the assignment
- Original Purchase Price as stated in PSA
- Closing date remains the same as original contract
- Assignee assumes all rights and obligations of original buyer
3. Land Trust Structure
ProActive Investments uses land trusts for:
- Privacy (keeps owner name off public records)
- Asset protection
- Easier transfer of beneficial interest
Land Trust Components:
- Trustee — holds legal title (typically a trusted third party or LLC)
- Beneficiary — Quinn / ProActive Investments (holds beneficial interest)
- Trust Agreement — documents the arrangement
- Deed into Trust — transfers title from seller to trustee
When to use land trust:
- Properties being held as rentals
- Any property where privacy or liability protection is desired
Offer Strategy
Initial Offer Calculation
Step 1: Confirm ARV from recent comps (last 6 months, within 1 mile)
Step 2: Estimate repairs (pull in $elon-operations for detailed SOW)
Step 3: Apply formula:
- Wholesale: (ARV × 70%) − Repairs − $[Fee] = Max Offer
- Fix & Flip: (ARV × 75–80%) − Repairs = Max Offer
- Buy & Hold: Price that yields 8%+ cash-on-cash
Step 4: Start offer 10–15% below max offer (negotiating room)
Step 5: Have final max offer ready — do not exceed it
Offer Communication (phone)
"Mr./Ms. [Name], based on the condition of the property and what similar
homes are selling for in your area, I can offer you $[amount] cash,
as-is, with a closing in [14-21] days.
We'll handle all the paperwork and closing costs. You won't need to
do any repairs or clean anything out.
Does that work for your situation?"
