Texas Equity is a
simple program, from the investor's standpoint. As we
explain everything that goes on behind the scenes, however,
you'll see it's rather complex. There are several
companies and many people involved to make this as simple as
possible for the investor.
Through relationships with homebuilders, this program is able
to put people into homes who otherwise would have been turned
down...and is able to turn a profit for investors where usually
there wouldn't be room.
From the investor's point-of-view, it works like this:
A) The investor signs up with the program, Texas Equity.
B) The lender qualifies the investor.
C) The investor is paired with a tenant/buyer who has (1)
already selected his or her brand new home, (2) agreed to rent
it for a price that will cover the investor's costs (and maybe
more), and (3) also agreed to a purchase price that is $10,000
above what the investor will be paying.
C) The investor fills out paperwork from the various parties
involved.
D) The lender processes the loan.
E) The investor closes the deal in his own town.
F) The buyer/tenant moves in.
G) The credit company restores the buyer/tenant's credit.
H) The buyer/tenant purchase the home for the agreed price.
Before you purchase the home, you will know and agree to the
terms of your loan, the terms of the lease, and the terms of the
sale to your tenant.
This is possible because of everything we have going on
behind the scenes. The breakdown of the process goes like
this:
- A prospective purchaser/tenant picks out a house from a
preferred builder.
- The prospective purchaser/tenant contacts Texas Equity
Investments by either:
- themselves
- a sales counselor from the builder
- realtors that work with Texas Equity Investments
- Texas Equity Investments will call the builder to get the
price on the house.
- Texas Equity Investments will contact a buyer/landlord.
- Preferred lender loans will qualify the buyer/landlord.
- The buyer/landlord will then get paper work from the
following groups
- The Builder
- Preferred lender
- A preferred management company
- Texas Equity Investments
- A preferred insurance company
- The buyer/landlord will fill out each set of paper work
and turn in any documents requested.
- Our preferred lender will then process the loan. That
includes:
- Underwriting
- Appraisal
- Title work
- Survey
- Schedule closing
- The buyer/landlord will close on the loan (it can be done
in the investors own city)
- The tenant/prospective purchaser pays a fee to move into
the investors property
- The tenant/prospective purchaser signs the following
contracts:
- 1 year lease with a preferred management company
- Non-binding letter of intent (this has an amount the
tenant/prospective purchaser will buy the house from the
buyer/landlord @ $10,000.00 over what the buyer/landlord
paid for the house)
- Credit Restoration with a preferred credit repair
company
- The tenant/prospective purchaser lives in the house until
their credit is good enough to get a loan (this should not
exceed 1 year)
- The tenant/prospective purchaser buys the house from the
buyer/landlord
