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?"

Due Diligence Checklist

After getting a property under contract:

• Title search — confirm clean title, no hidden liens
• Property inspection — confirm repair estimates, no surprises
• Comparable sales review — confirm ARV is solid
• Zoning/permit check — any open permits? Correct zoning?
• Flood zone check — is it in a flood zone? Insurance cost?
• HOA check — any HOA? Fees? Violations?
• Tax status — are taxes current or back taxes owed?
• Utility status — are utilities on or will reinstatement be needed?
