Bankruptcy

Hi,

How long does it take someone to qualify for a
refinance if they have filed bankruptcy? I have
(2) possible tenant/buyers that have filed in 2004.
They will have 18-24 months to cash us out, will
that be enough time. I am in SC, not sure if it varies
state-to-state or if it is the same everywhere.

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated!

    It depends on the lender. Take them to a good mortgage broker now to get an idea. Some will refinance after 12 months. Most consider 24 months after a Chapter 7 (with reestablished credit) to be B+ credit!

    Thanks all,

    I am finding so much more to investment than just what Legrand or Sheets write into their courses.
    I think they should be more honest in that they should describe more than just how a subject-to or L/O works (not that I was dumb enough to believe money would start fall from the trees but...)., They should go into how this is SALES , MARKETING, as well as TAX and RE LAW. lol and structure the sections on each topic appropriately to cover all needed topics for business.

    Question two: How is the best way to ask someone if they are willing to do a L/O or owner financing? I like they way Peter Conti uses descriptive language in his L/O book "Mr . Smith, what if we were to make you a guaranteed monthly payment and then at some point down the road we were to cash you out of the property at the full $150,000 price we talked about a moment ago. Is that something we should talk about or probably not?"

    What techniques do you use to prequal on the phone when many people do not a) know what a L/O is b) they automatically THINK they need all their equity at closing ?

    I love this site, so chocked full of knowledge,

    Thanks again,

    Austin, listen to John and Nancy, some great advice in there. The benefit of being able to read someone you are standing in front of will increase your chances of a successful presentation. In my opinion that Zig Ziglar book John mentioned is the best book on sales ever written. I do like Carnegie and anything by Tom Hopkins too.
