"Here Are My Program Details"
Hello Future Homeowner,
My name is Lloyd
Merrifield. If you would like to buy a home, but can't qualify for a
conventional mortgage, you've come to the right place.
I am a real
estate investor and I buy and sell homes... I am not a real estate agent. By using my
special financing, you can buy a home from us.
It does
NOT matter if you have bad credit, bankruptcy, late
payments, judgments, liens, tax problems or charge offs, you can still buy
one of our homes. It doesn't even matter if you have verifiable income. We
believe that *everyone* has a right to own their own home.
We are
constantly getting new homes in nearly every
area.
Beautiful Homes
Available
These are nice homes in nice areas with
great neighborhoods and excellent schools. Most of our homes are less than
5 years old and in near perfect condition . Only a few of them are
fixer upper bargains.
Many of these homes have beautiful new
kitchens and master bathrooms, big master bedroom suites, and big fenced
in yards for the kids and your
pets. Most of them have big 2 car garages and plenty of storage.
On
this web page, I'm going to show you the simple steps you can take to buy
a home. These aren' t difficult steps... they don't take a lot of your time and, in
fact, they can be pretty exciting... especially when you start
looking for your new home .
We make it very easy to own your
own home... to have a place that you can claim as your own and be a proud
homeowner. Nearly every one of our past buyers had been turned down again
and again and again by banks and mortgage brokers... even banks that
advertised "bad credit okay." They never
thought they'd EVER be able to actually buy a home for themselves and
their family until they got into our program.
This web page will
give you all the details you need to get into your new home in as little
as 7 to 10 days.
There is absolutely no charge for this service, we
make our money on the sale of the property. There is also no
obligation . If you like what you see, great, let us know and
we'll get you started and get you the list of properties we have
available... if, on the other hand, you decide it's not for you, that's no
problem... there's no hard feelings. It's really pretty simple and
straight forward.
Well let's get started.
First of all... let me
tell you where we buy the properties we offer for
sale.
We get lots of calls, every day, from people who have homes
they want to sell. If we think these homes will fit the needs of buyers
like you, we will purchase these properties and then offer them to our
"Registered Buyers."
We buy from sellers who, maybe can't get
their houses sold or maybe they just want to sell quickly... there are as
many reasons as there are sellers. It doesn't matter to us as long as the
deal we make solves the Seller's problem, is profitable for us and is
right for one of our "Registered Buyers."
We aren't in the business of taking
advantage of distressed Buyers or Sellers. We believe that we make the
most money by helping people ...
and we sleep better at night because of it.
By the way, if you are interested in
selling
a home, please click here. We will make you an offer on your home within 72
business hours ... then you can take your time
and decide if that offer is right for you.
So... since we are able
to do this, we end up with a lot of properties and we are
constantly looking for good people to sell them to. Fortunately for us,
because of this web site, we have a ton of people who want to buy our
houses. In a minute I'm going to explain how we will structure the home
purchase deal with you, but first I want to tell you the second way we can help you find a home.
If what we are offering does not fill your needs or if you feel
there is just too much competition between our buyers for the homes we do
have, (since we have so many people in our program). If you feel you
would like to buy a house that we do not
have for sale, we can still help. Here is what you
do...
Once you are registered with us, you can also look at every
home listed "For Sale By Owner" or "For Rent" that is in the paper or has
a sign in the front yard. If you look at these properties and find 3 to 5
that you like, we can usually get on the phone and put together a deal
with the seller of at least one of them that will make sense for you. Just
let us know which properties you like.
We will negotiate with the seller
so that we can structure the purchase in a way that will
work for your situation. These turn out to be win-win-win situations for
the Seller, for us, the middleman Buyer and for you, the end Buyer.
Okay... now you know how you are going to find your new home...
either through the list that we send out every week or by tracking down a
"For Sale By Owner" or a "For Rent" property. Now I'm going to move on
to...
How We Structure The
Deals
You Will Be Buying From Us
Here is how we do it. We sell you the property "Rent To Buy."
That means that you are buying the property from
us. We lease the property to you for a specific period of
time, usually 1-2 years depending on your situation, and during that time
you have the option to buy it from us at a price that we both agree upon
when you first move in.
You will also pay a "Lease Option Fee"
when you move in and buy the house from us. This money will apply to the purchase price of the home and will
reduce (usually
eliminate) your down payment when you eventually
take out a 30 year mortgage with a bank. The minimum "Lease Option Fee"
that we accept is $2000 plus the first monthly lease payment. So if the
monthly lease amount is $2000 and the "Lease Option Fee" is $2000, you
will need $4000 to close the deal and move into the house. Make
sense?
Each property is different and has a different "Lease Option
Fee" amount. When you register online, just
tell us how much you have for the "Lease Option Fee" and we will try to
only send you houses that fit those specifications.
For
example, if you have $5000 for the "Lease Option Fee," don't ask for the
list of $10,000 "Lease Option Fee" properties... it will just disappoint
and frustrate you. We encourage you to be realistic about what you can
afford, so your payments don't stress you out.
It is our goal to
help you eventually qualify for a mortgage and refinance the
house, pay us off and put you on the deed. Remember, you do NOT have to qualify for a mortgage
now.
We work with a very good, very reputable, very understanding
mortgage brokerage... they are "good people" and we'd
like you to talk to them. Now, don't misunderstand... we don't expect you
to be able to qualify for a mortgage right now... after all, that is
probably why you tracked me down and are listening to what I have to say.
What we want to do, is find out how
soon you will be able to qualify... for some people, it may
only be a few months... for others it may be a year or two years or five.
It
doesn't matter to us how long it takes, but
we don't want to put you into a program that doesn't give you enough time
to get on track financially so you can get a loan when the time for that
finally comes.
Our mortgage broker is excited about doing your
prequalification for a mortgage because they know that they have a good
chance of getting your business down the road when you are finally able to
take out a loan. They are not
going to be nasty to you like so many other mortgage brokers, just because
they can't do a loan for you right now... they're like us... in it for the
long term.
So that's the first thing we are going to ask you to
do... it's a quick phone conversation that takes maybe 20 minutes... you
don't even have to go meet with them... and they keep everything
100%
confidential.
And
by the way, there is nothing that we haven't seen before... you're not
going to shock us, no matter how bad your current situation. Remember,
there were over 1 million bankruptcies in the United State last year
alone... and a lot more people than that have bad credit. Our mortgage
broker will just ask you a few questions about your income and your job
(or lack thereof), they'll pull your credit report to see if there are any
surprises, and then, they'll be able to tell us exactly how long you are
going to need before you can get a bank loan.
Just a side note... and this is for maybe 10% of
you out there. Sometimes, we discover that you qualify for a home loan
right
now... you may have thought that you had bad
credit, but it turns out after we look at your credit report that the bad
things on your credit that you thought were so bad, didn't matter as much
as you thought.
If this happens, it's very cool because now your
options open up... you can buy virtually any home on the market that is
within your price range. Of course, we would still be happy to sell you
one of our homes, but we also want to give you the opportunity to see what
else is available out there.
What we will do is connect
you up with a real estate agent... someone who works with buyers as their
main job... someone who isn't pushy, will take the time you need to help
you find a property and will hold-your-hand through the process. We look
very hard for good agents to connect you with... real pros. This agent
will either meet with you in person and sit in front of a computer with
you and pull you up listings or email you or they will snail mail you the
listings. Whichever you prefer.
But
remember... that's only going to be for about 10% of you
who are reading this page. What we REALLY do is work with the other 90% of
you... that's our expertise.
After you talk to our Mortgage Broker,
we will send you an official "Buyer
Registration And Qualification" email. You
are now officially registered as one of our potential buyers... and
remember... all this is FREE and there
is absolutely no obligation.
Now comes the fun stuff...
It's Time To Start Looking At
Houses
There are two ways that we can do
this.
First
... we want to sell you our properties. Every time we
get a new property in the area you are looking, we'll send you an
email.
But here's the rub... we have a lot of people like you who
are actively looking for a home... as of last count, it was 183... and we
get more every day. So when we get a new home for sale, those homes move pretty quickly.
The problem for
us was... how can we be fair about this... and we thought about it for a
long time. Who should we notify about our new properties first? Should
first notice go to the people who are on our list the longest, the ones
who are ready to buy "right now," the ones we think will qualify in the
shortest period of time... on and on we went with this and we finally came
up with what I think is a pretty fair solution.
We just send the
email to everyone at the same time and then it's "first
come, first serve." Nothing else matters. First family who wants it, gets
it.
Now you may not feel comfortable acting quickly in the
beginning and we sure aren't going to push you. We let you tell us when
you're ready to go. What happens most of the time is, at first, when folks
become "Registered Buyers" they take their time, they look at the
properties we have for sale, they let a few pass by them because they
weren't exactly what they were looking for or they want to get comfortable
with the process.
But then... after a while, our "Registered Buyers" start getting comfortable.
They see what is available for the money they can afford, they get to know
the different neighborhoods... they
get comfortable with us and realize that
we are for real and that we do what we say we do and then... that is when
they feel comfortable about making an offer on a house on very short
notice. We won't push you... only you know if the house is right for you.
If it's not, just wait... you may not get that one, but we are always
getting new property. We don't want you to be a hasty buyer... only
you know your comfort
zone.
So... as soon as you get your official "Buyer
Registration And Qualification" email, we will start sending
you properties to look at. Sometimes we may only have one or two a week...
other times, we will have 15 or 20 a week. It all depends on how many
houses we bought.
So... we'll email you the address of the property
and a brief description of it. If it looks interesting to you at all, we
encourage you to go see it
immediately. Drive by... we find that 75% of the time, you
can tell if a house is for you by looking at the exterior and the yard and
the neighborhood... or maybe it's more accurate to say that you can tell
that it's NOT for you, by looking at the outside.
