Power House Flipper – 28 of 31 Homes Purchased at Phoenix Trustee Sales Sold this Year

On December 9, 2009

Hal Feinberg has found a nice niche in the Valley of the Sun fixing and flipping single family residences. In fact, he’s sold 28 of 31 homes purchased at Phoenix Trustee Sales this year. But even with the nice chunk of change he’s been making on each property, his desires have been changing… “I’d like to get back to buying and holding.”

It isn’t any mystery what Feinberg has in mind, he wants to create positive cash flow by renting out more of the homes he purchases. This probably means Feinberg is generating enough cash by quickly flipping homes to fore-go the 18%, 80/20 LTV ratio hard money loans in favor of dropping cold cash on the next several properties he picks up at Phoenix Valley trustee auction sales.

Feinberg, who’s now a full-time property investor, understands the importance of having intimate knowledge of Phoenix metro neighborhoods in order to know how much to safely bid. The trustee sale auction game isn’t for amatuers. Buyers need lot’s of cash or access to hard money loans. And since often times the investor never gets to see the interior of these homes, having the experience or the guidance of an experienced hand can help buyers avoid unpleasant surprises and pitfalls.

Strategy for Investing – Foreclosure Auctions

1. First and foremost, find a source that is providing foreclosed property listings with 'comprehensive' information, and develop a system for filing.
2. Filter through the properties locating the real estate with built in equity. What is owed? Are there any junior lien holders?
3. Investigate the neighborhood comparables, comprise a list map, then get in your car and visit the properties.
4. Set your maximum bid price. This sounds simple and straightforward, however the fast-paced action of the bidding process can cause the most reserved person to hastily over-compete for a not-so-great piece of property.

AZ Auction Process – Trustee Sales

1. 90 days has passed since the Notice of Trustee Sale is issued. Prior to sale, the Trustee establishes the opening or minimum bid to be accepted at auction by referring to the calculated Credit Bid Statement prepared by the respective Beneficiary.
2. On the 91st day, said property is put on the auction block. All bidding is open and verbal. $10,000 cashier check in hand is required by all parties bidding.
3. Highest bidder must present the funds in total to the Trustee by 5pm of the next business day in order to gain title.
4. Acceptance of funds results in the recording and conveyance of a Trustee's Deed; funds are disbursed to the Beneficiary.
