Brokers Make More Commissions by Learning the Wrap!
As a real estate agent, you can increase your commissions by learning how to structure wraparound transactions. You will undoubtedly come across dozens of listed properties with high loan balances and little chance of selling by conventional means. Your knowledge of wraparounds will be your ticket to increased commissions in a competitive market.
Once you understand the transaction and have all the pieces of the puzzle in place, you will have more deals than you can handle.
Follow this formula:
1. Learn the Business. Learn and understand wraparounds well so that you can explain the process to even the most unsophisticated person. Essentially, a wraparound is done by selling a property on an installment basis using a land contract or contract-for-deed. The buyer makes payments of principal and interest on the purchase price. The seller collects these payments and makes payments on his underlying loan. The seller holds title as security until the balance is paid, at which time a deed is delivered to the buyer. A neutral, third party (such as an escrow company) is often used to hold the deed in escrow and service the payments.
2. Line Up the Players. Find a good attorney, escrow company, insurance agent and mortgage broker. Discuss these issues and make certain they understand the business of wraps. If agents prepare contracts in your state, have an attorney prepare a “standard” addendum that can be added to the Real Estate Commission-approved contract.
3. Find the Investors. Having the “wrap” tool in your arsenal is effective, but it works best when you make it happen. Locate “investors” who are willing to “buy, finance and wrap.” This involves an investor buying properties a little below market price, financing with a low interest-rate loan then reselling on a wraparound at a higher price and higher interest rate. Show them the benefits of the wrap and the incredible monthly cash flow that is possible (do not forget to disclose the risks!). Introduce them to mortgage brokers and bankers who can pre-qualify them for financing.
4. Find the Owner Finance Buyers. Advertise in the paper “No Credit Required,” “Owner Carry Homes,” and similar teasers. Make a list of buyers with a chunk of cash who are not able to qualify for conventional financing (we call them “no-credit” buyers). Show them houses that are listed for sale. Have them pick out a few they like.
5. Contact the Investor. Once the investor has financing and a buyer lined up, he can make offers (through you) on the list of properties that the no-credit buyer picked out. When one is accepted, he (the investor) signs a contract to sell the property on a land contract to the no-credit buyer, contingent upon the investor closing on the property himself. Once everything is lined up, the property can be purchased and re-sold almost simultaneously. The agent gets a sales commission on the purchase of the property.
All you need as an agent are a dozen or so clients who regularly engage in wrap transactions in this fashion. Rather than chase down new clients, you can have “repeat” business. Every agent knows how to do things the “conventional” way. Set yourself apart, create a niche and before long your reputation will precede you.

Question about business learning
Is it illegal for me to open an online learning business without any teaching or tutoring certification?I'm creating a website and I will have customers pay me for online tutoring and stuff like that. I don't have a teaching certification or any teaching education. Can I do this or is it illegal?

Business Ethics teaches you what you can get away with and how to do it.
I have yet to meet anyone above the title of Supervisor that has, or practices, any kind of "ethics".
Apparently not. No answers after 2 days.
I am a life long Catholic Christian and have never exposed to concepts of "fear of being roasted alive on Satan's BBQ."
About teaching with age appropriateness in mind, the Catholic Church states:
Whoever teaches must become "all things to all men" (? I Cor 9:22), to win everyone to Christ. . . Above all, teachers must not imagine that a single kind of soul has been entrusted to them, and that consequently it is lawful to teach and form equally all the faithful in true piety with one and the same method!
Let them realize that some are in Christ as newborn babes, others as adolescents, and still others as adults in full command of their powers
Those who are called to the ministry of preaching must suit their words to the maturity and understanding of their hearers, as they hand on the teaching of the mysteries of faith and the rules of moral conduct.
For more information, see the Catechism of the Catholic Church, section 23 and following: http://www.nccbuscc.org/catechism/text/prologue.shtml#23
With love in Christ.

I think ethics in business is a thing of the past.
Most businesses now only care about one thing, money.
They dont care how they get it as long as they keep getting more of it.
In general, customer service is at an all time low, greed and increasing profits is at an all time high, and business ethics got kicked to the curb long ago.
Mandarin Chinese is the best!
Can You Breathe The Nitrogen Cloud??
it's perfectly legal and i recommend that you do it if you are a capable web designer. you don't need teacher certification to be a tutor, you only need to be an expert in your subject area. i advise against joining a tutoring website. the pay is ridiculously low and you could make 2 or 3 times more as an independent tutor.
Good luck!
"Everybody is learning mandarin [sic] now."
If you're going to major in business, you need to try and be an important, worthwhile asset to your company. While, yes, it is strongly speculated that China will be the next big thing and will probably come to be true, this doesn't mean Japan will be out of the market and will plummet into a third-world country. It will still be making innovations in all fields and companies will still want to deal with them.
While all those people who spent their college years learning Mandarin are battling for the same jobs, you can have a step up on them for you can aid your company in gaining profits from the Japanese. Besides, who's to say you can't learn Mandarin as well?
A typical BS in Business covers basic accounting, business law, management principles, etc. The focus is on generic things someone in management would address as part of their job. Like many degrees, the curriculum covered by most colleges and universities is pretty much the same.
Nearly every college and university offers business degrees via distance education, ie. online classes, versus traditional classroom learning. You can also CLEP many freshman business classes (see http://www.collegeboard.com) if you are a good cram and test person.
The challenge you face with a degree is business is that it is a "me too" degree. Meaning, you say you have a degree in business and the other guy says, "me too". Also, business degrees lack in industry specific knowledge, ie. business in widget manufacturing or business in the chemical industry.
So, what do you end up getting having only a degree in business? You get entry level jobs in lower to middle management. Starting salaries can range from mid $20Ks to lower $30Ks.
That said, my advice is a minor in some thing that is also of interest to you, ie. chemistry, biology, psychology, etc. Then you have both a broad degree in business with industry specific knowledge. Makes your marketability much better.
Hope that helps.
ROFL, oh my gosh, she did didn’t she!? Ahahahaa!!
@Nnexxxx good luck trying to get some i know only one way just go to your locale university or collage and see if they can let you try it out
@Nicolai4973 how is it a waste, it just goes back in the air where they got it in the first place
I would say your best option is an SBA loan. They are backed by the government. You will have to put some kind of business plan and proforma.
Just call 3 or 4 banks and ask for their SBA specialist. They can assist you more.
