have a reputable contractor on your team.
3. HUD Wholesaling – Successful HUD wholesaling uses insider procedures for
bidding on, buying and selling HUD properties. It’s a great way to make money in
real estate.
Tools and approaches to help insure real estate success:
1. Establish a long-term relationship with a lender. Most real estate professionals
will not use their own money to buy property. Regardless of whether you’re buying
homes and flipping them, or buying and holding rental properties, or wholesaling
HUD homes, you will almost always be dealing with a lender. You should make it a
point to form long-term relationships with lenders that share your vision.
2. Use local lenders. Pros typically use local banks, credit unions, and private lenders.
In fact, regardless of which type of lender they use, they are almost always local.
Why use local lenders?
• Local banks are mandated to lend for local projects, so they have incentive.
• Local Banks, credit unions and private lenders are more likely to lend more often.
• Local banks usually keep all their loans.
• Local lenders don’t care how many properties you have as long as you have a
good portfolio.
3. Remember that information is power. When dealing with your lenders/investors,
be sure to present them with information they can use to quickly determine what
your deal is all about and what the numbers look like. You want a package that will
compile your numbers and other details of your deal into a nice, easy to understand
presentation.
Make sure you use a program that helps investors see the overall financial position of a
property. You’ll want to be able to generate a document containing all the information

3. any interested parties would possibly need to make a decision about a deal. This will
put you in a solid position because having that information on hand to provide means:
• Investors can quickly determine what to pay for various properties.
• Investors can easily manage the rehab budget when fixing up properties.
• If you are a property wholesaler, you’ll be able to generate concise deal
marketing sheets for your wholesale deals.
