Great content as always, David! I have a couple of questions if you don't mind answering: (1) How many deals fall apart after an LOI has been accepted, due to problems found in the due diligence phase? (2) Assuming that you have to meet with the seller eventually, at what point does this usually happen? For example, is it after the LOI has been accepted? How necessary is that in-person meeting? I'm asking because I might live out-of-state and if I'm flying to meet, it'd be good to have a good likelihood to close the deal. Thank you!
(1) 50-75% (2) before you make an offer. I have a video coming out about this shortly, July 2023. I don't believe you can make a reasonable deal with a person who hasn't had the chance to know you at all.
Thanks
My pleasure.
This is absolute gold! I wonder if this can be used in investment commercial real estate purchases . Are most business sellers open to this type of arrangement? Or is this only with a motivated or distressed seller. I'm looking for a way to invest and real estate is over saturated right now, is the business market the same way and maybe just not publicized as much?
Real estate deals have been done with notes forever. Sellers always prefer cash but it's best for buyers to have seller financing. With real estate it's different because you're talking about a tangible asset. Tom Henderson at hpnotes.com/ has an email list and lots of great information about real estate deals with notes and trading in the notes themselves. Cheers
WHAT ABOUT MAKING A STOCK DEAL.I BUY 100% OF STOCK.THE OLD OWNER WORKS FOR A YEAR FOR A SET PAY.AFTER COLLECTING DIVIDENDS FOR FIRST YEAR I COMPARE THE DIVIDENDS THE OWNER PAY AND CASH FLOW TO THE BOOKS.
...and if it turns out to be all fraudulent then you're stuck with the shares of a crappy company. Jason M, you should take my online course at www.BusinessBuyerAdvantage.com You'd gain a lot from it.
