The Debtorshave operated their businesses and managed their properties as debtors in possession pursuant toCCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Filieledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 5 6 o of f1 133456sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. No trustee, examiner, or statutory committeehas been appointed in these Chapter 11 Cases.E. Adequacy of the Disclosure Statement.5. The Disclosure Statement and the exhibits contained therein (i) containssufficient information of a kind necessary to satisfy the disclosure requirements of applicablenonbankruptcy laws, rules and regulations, including the Securities Act; and (ii) contains“adequate information” as such term is defined in section 1125(a)(1) and used in section1126(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, with respect to the Debtors, the Plan and the transactionscontemplated therein. The Filing of the Disclosure Statement satisfied Bankruptcy Rule 3016(b).The injunction, release, and exculpation provisions in the Plan and the Disclosure Statementdescribe, in bold font and with specific and conspicuous language, all acts to be enjoined andidentify the Entities that will be subject to the injunction, thereby satisfying Bankruptcy Rule3016(c).F. Solicitation.6. As described in and evidenced by the Voting Declaration, the Solicitationand the transmittal and service of the Solicitation Materials were: (i) timely, adequate, appropriate,and sufficient under the circumstances; and (ii) in compliance with sections 1125(g) and 1126(b)of the Bankruptcy Code, Bankruptcy Rules 3017 and 3018, the applicable Local Bankruptcy Rules,the Scheduling Order and all applicable nonbankruptcy rules, laws, and regulations applicable tothe Solicitation, including the registration requirements under the Securities Act. The SolicitationMaterials, including the Ballots and the Opt Out Form (as defined below), adequately informedthe holders of Claims entitled to vote on the Plan of the procedures and deadline for completingand submitting the Ballots.CCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Filieledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 6 7 o of f1 1334577. The Debtors served the Combined Hearing Notice on the entire creditormatrix and served the Opt Out Form on all Non-Voting Classes. The Combined Hearing Noticeadequately informed Holders of Claims or Interests of critical information regarding voting on (ifapplicable) and objecting to the Plan, including deadlines and the inclusion of release, exculpation,and injunction provisions in the Plan, and adequately summarized the terms of the Third-PartyRelease. Further, because the form enabling stakeholders to opt out of the Third-Party Release (the“Opt Out Form”) was included in both the Ballots and the Opt Out Form, every known stakeholder,including unimpaired creditors was provided with the means by which the stakeholders could optout of the Third-Party Release. No further notice is required. The period for voting on the Planprovided a reasonable and sufficient period of time and the manner of such solicitation was anappropriate process allowing for such holders to make an informed decision.G. Tabulation.8. As described in and evidenced by the Voting Declaration, (i) the holders ofClaims in Class 3 (RCF Claims) and Class 5 (Notes Claims) are Impaired under the Plan(collectively, the “Voting Classes”) and have voted to accept the Plan in the numbers and amountsrequired by section 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code, and (ii) no Class that was entitled to vote on thePlan voted to reject the Plan. All procedures used to tabulate the votes on the Plan were in goodfaith, fair, reasonable, and conducted in accordance with the applicable provisions of theBankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules, the Disclosure Statement, theScheduling Order, and all other applicable nonbankruptcy laws, rules, and regulations.H. Plan Supplement.9. On December 10, 2024, the Debtors Filed the Plan Supplement with theCourt. The Plan Supplement (including as subsequently modified, supplemented, or otherwiseCCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Filieledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 7 8 o of f1 133458amended pursuant to a filing with the Court), complies with the terms of the Plan, and the Debtorsprovided good and proper notice of the filing in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code, theBankruptcy Rules, the Scheduling Order, and the facts and circumstances of the Chapter 11 Cases.All documents included in the Plan Supplement are integral to, part of, and incorporated byreference into the Plan. No other or further notice is or will be required with respect to the PlanSupplement. Subject to the terms of the Plan and the Lock-Up Agreement, and only consistenttherewith, the Debtors reserve the right to alter, amend, update, or modify the Plan Supplementand any of the documents contained therein or related thereto, in accordance with the Plan, on orbefore the Effective Date.I. Modifications to the Plan.10. Pursuant to section 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code, the modifications to thePlan described or set forth in this Combined Order constitute technical or clarifying changes,changes with respect to particular Claims by agreement with holders of such Claims, ormodifications that do not otherwise materially and adversely affect or change the treatment of anyother Claim or Interest under the Plan. These modifications are consistent with the disclosurespreviously made pursuant to the Disclosure Statement and Solicitation Materials, and notice ofthese modifications was adequate and appropriate under the facts and circumstances of the Chapter11 Cases. In accordance with Bankruptcy Rule 3019, these modifications do not require additionaldisclosure under section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code or the resolicitation of votes under section1126 of the Bankruptcy Code, and they do not require that holders of Claims or Interests beafforded an opportunity to change previously cast acceptances or rejections of the Plan.Accordingly, the Plan is properly before this Court and all votes cast with respect to the Plan priorto such modification shall be binding and shall apply with respect to the Plan.CCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Filieledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 8 9 o of f1 133459J. Objections Overruled.11. Any resolution or disposition of objections to Confirmation explained orotherwise ruled upon by the Court on the record at the Confirmation Hearing is herebyincorporated by reference. All unresolved objections, statements, joinders, informal objections,and reservations of rights are hereby overruled on the merits.K. Burden of Proof.12. The Debtors, as proponents of the Plan, have met their burden of provingthe elements of sections 1129(a) and 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code by a preponderance of theevidence, the applicable evidentiary standard for Confirmation. Further, the Debtors have proventhe elements of sections 1129(a) and 1129(b) by clear and convincing evidence. Each witness whotestified on behalf of the Debtors in connection with the Confirmation Hearing was credible,reliable, and qualified to testify as to the topics addressed in his testimony.L. Compliance with the Requirements of Section 1129 of the BankruptcyCode.13. The Plan complies with all applicable provisions of section 1129 of theBankruptcy Code as follows:a. Section 1129(a)(1) – Compliance of the Plan with Applicable Provisions of theBankruptcy Code.14. The Plan complies with all applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code,including sections 1122 and 1123, as required by section 1129(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code.i. Section 1122 and 1123(a)(1) – Proper Classification.15. The classification of Claims and Interests under the Plan is proper under theBankruptcy Code. In accordance with sections 1122(a) and 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code,Article III of the Plan provides for the separate classification of Claims and Interests at each Debtorinto Classes, based on differences in the legal nature or priority of such Claims and Interests (otherCaCsaes e2 42-49-09507557 5 D oDcoucmumenetn 2t 9266-32 FFiilleedd iinn TTXXSSBB oonn 1021//3113//2245 PPaaggee 91 0o fo 1f 3143510than Administrative Claims, Professional Fee Claims, and Priority Tax Claims, which areaddressed in Article II of the Plan and Unimpaired, and are not required to be designated asseparate Classes in accordance with section 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code). Valid business,factual, and legal reasons exist for the separate classification of the various Classes of Claims andInterests created under the Plan, the classifications were not implemented for any improperpurpose, and the creation of such Classes does not unfairly discriminate between or among holdersof Claims or Interests.16. In accordance with section 1122(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, each Class ofClaims or Interests contains only Claims or Interests substantially similar to the other Claims orInterests within that Class. Accordingly, the Plan satisfies the requirements of sections 1122(a),1122(b), and 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Codeii. Section 1123(a)(2) – Specifications of Unimpaired Classes.17. Article III of the Plan specifies that Claims and Interests in the classesdeemed to accept the Plan are Unimpaired under the Plan. Holders of Intercompany Claims andIntercompany Interests are either Unimpaired and conclusively presumed to have accepted thePlan, or are Impaired and deemed to reject (the “Deemed Rejecting Classes”) the Plan, and, ineither event, are not entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan. In addition, Article II of the Planspecifies that Administrative Claims and Priority Tax Claims are Unimpaired, although the Plandoes not classify these Claims. Accordingly, the Plan satisfies the requirements of section1123(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code.CCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Fileiledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 1 101 o of f1 1334511iii. Section 1123(a)(3) – Specification of Treatment of Voting Classes18. Article III.B of the Plan specifies the treatment of each Voting Class underthe Plan – namely, Class 3 and Class 5. Accordingly, the Plan satisfies the requirements of section1123(a)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code.iv. Section 1123(a)(4) – No Discrimination.19. Article III of the Plan provides the same treatment to each Claim or Interestin any particular Class, as the case may be, unless the holder of a particular Claim or Interest hasagreed to a less favorable treatment with respect to such Claim or Interest. Accordingly, the Plansatisfies the requirements of section 1123(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code.v. Section 1123(a)(5) – Adequate Means for Plan Implementation.20. The Plan and the various documents included in the Plan Supplementprovide adequate and proper means for the Plan's execution and implementation, including: (a)the general settlement of Claims and Interests; (b) the restructuring of the Debtors' balance sheetand other financial transactions provided for by the Plan; (c) the consummation of the transactionscontemplated by the Plan, the Lock-Up Agreement, the Restructuring Implementation Deed andthe Agreed Steps Plan and other documents Filed as part of the Plan Supplement; (d) the issuanceof Exchange Notes, the New Money Notes, and the Noteholder Ordinary Shares pursuant to thePlan; (e) the amendment of the Intercreditor Agreement; (f) the amendment of the FacilityAgreement; (g) the amendment of the Senior Secured Term Loan Agreement; (h) theconsummation of the Rights Offering in accordance with the Plan, Rights Offering Documentsand the Lock-Up Agreement; (i) the granting of all Liens and security interests granted orconfirmed (as applicable) pursuant to, or in connection with, the Facility Agreement, the ExchangeNotes Indenture, the New Money Notes Indenture, the amended Intercreditor Agreement and theCCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Fileiledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 1 112 o of f1 1334512Senior Secured Term Loan Agreement pursuant to the New Security Documents (including anyLiens and security interests granted or confirmed (as applicable) on the Reorganized Debtors'assets); (j) the vesting of the assets of the Debtors' Estates in the Reorganized Debtors; (k) theconsummation of the corporate reorganization contemplated by the Plan, the Lock-Up Agreement,the Agreed Steps Plan and the Master Reorganization Agreement (as defined in the RestructuringImplementation Deed); and (l) the execution, delivery, filing, or recording of all contracts,instruments, releases, and other agreements or documents in furtherance of the Plan. Accordingly,the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1123(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Codevi. Section 1123(a)(6) – Non-Voting Equity Securities.21. The Company's organizational documents in accordance with the SwedishCompanies Act, Ch. 4, Sec 5 and the Plan prohibit the issuance of non-voting securities as of theEffective Date to the extent required to comply with section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code.Accordingly, the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code.vii. Section 1123(a)(7) – Directors, Officers, and Trustees.22. The manner of selection of any officer, director, or trustee (or any successorto and such officer, director, or trustee) of the Reorganized Debtors will be determined inaccordance with the existing organizational documents, which is consistent with the interests ofcreditors and equity holders and with public policy. Accordingly, the Plan satisfies therequirements of section 1123(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code.b. Section 1123(b) – Discretionary Contents of the Plan23. The Plan contains various provisions that may be construed as discretionarybut not necessary for Confirmation under the Bankruptcy Code. Any such discretionary provisionCCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Fileiledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 1 123 o of f1 1334513complies with section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and is not inconsistent with the applicableprovisions of the Bankruptcy Code. Thus, the Plan satisfies section 1123(b).i. Section 1123(b)(1) – Impairment/Unimpairment of Any Class of Claims orInterests24. Article III of the Plan impairs or leaves unimpaired, as the case may be,each Class of Claims or Interests, as contemplated by section 1123(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code.ii. Section 1123(b)(2) – Assumption and Rejection of Executory Contracts andUnexpired Leases25. Article V of the Plan provides for the assumption of the Debtors' ExecutoryContracts and Unexpired Leases as of the Effective Date unless such Executory Contract orUnexpired Lease: (a) is identified on the Rejected Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease List;(b) has been previously rejected by a Final Order; (c) is the subject of a motion to reject ExecutoryContracts or Unexpired Leases that is pending on the Confirmation Date; or (4) is subject to amotion to reject an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to which the requestedeffective date of such rejection is after the Effective Date. Thus, the Plan satisfies section1123(b)(2).iii. Compromise and Settlement26. In accordance with section 1123(b)(3)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code andBankruptcy Rule 9019, and in consideration for the distributions and other benefits provided underthe Plan, the provisions of the Plan constitute a good-faith compromise of all Claims, Interests,and controversies relating to the contractual, legal, and subordination rights that all holders ofClaims or Interests may have with respect to any Allowed Claim or Interest or any distribution tobe made on account of such Allowed Claim or Interest. Such compromise and settlement is theproduct of extensive arm's-length, good faith negotiations that, in addition to the Plan, resulted inCCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Fileiledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 1 134 o of f1 1334514the execution of the Lock-Up Agreement, which represents a fair and reasonable compromise ofall Claims, Interests, and controversies and entry into which represented a sound exercise of theDebtors' business judgment. Such compromise and settlement is fair, equitable, and reasonableand in the best interests of the Debtors and their Estates.27. The releases of the Debtors' directors and officers are an integral componentof the settlements and compromises embodied in the Plan. The Debtors' directors and officers: (a)made a substantial and valuable contribution to the Debtors' restructuring, including extensive preandpost-Petition Date negotiations with stakeholder groups, and ensured the uninterruptedoperation of the Debtors' businesses during the Chapter 11 Cases; (b) invested significant timeand effort to make the restructuring a success and maximize the value of the Debtors' businessesin a challenging operating environment; (c) attended and, in certain instances, testified atdepositions and Court hearings; (d) attended and participated in numerous stakeholder meetings,management meetings, and board meetings related to the restructuring; (e) are entitled toindemnification from the Debtors under applicable non-bankruptcy law, organizationaldocuments, and agreements; (f) invested significant time and effort in the preparation of the Lock-Up Agreement, the Plan, Disclosure Statement, all supporting analyses, and the numerous otherpleadings Filed in the Chapter 11 Cases, thereby ensuring the smooth administration of the Chapter11 Cases; and (g) are entitled to all other benefits under any employment contracts existing as ofthe Petition Date. Litigation by the Debtors or other Releasing Parties against the Debtors'directors and officers would be a distraction to the Debtors' business and restructuring and woulddecrease rather than increase the value of the estates. The releases of the Debtors' directors andofficers contained in the Plan have the consent of the Debtors and the Releasing Parties and are inthe best interests of the estates.CCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Fileiledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 1 145 o of f1 1334515iv. Debtor Release28. The releases of claims and Causes of Action by the Debtors, ReorganizedDebtors, and their Estates described in Article VIII.C of the Plan in accordance with section1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Debtor Release”) represent a valid exercise of the Debtors'business judgment under Bankruptcy Rule 9019. The Debtors' or the Reorganized Debtors' pursuitof any such claims against the Released Parties is not in the best interests of the Estates' variousconstituencies because the costs involved would outweigh any potential benefit from pursuingsuch claims. The Debtor Release is fair and equitable and complies with the absolute priority rule.29. The Debtor Release is (a) an integral part of the Plan, and a component ofthe comprehensive settlement implemented under the Plan; (b) in exchange for the good andvaluable consideration provided by the Released Parties; (c) a good faith settlement andcompromise of the claims and Causes of Action released by the Debtor Release; (d) materiallybeneficial to, and in the best interests of, the Debtors, their Estates, and their stakeholders, and isimportant to the overall objectives of the Plan to finally resolve certain Claims among or againstcertain parties in interest in the Chapter 11 Cases; (e) fair, equitable, and reasonable; (f) given andmade after due notice and opportunity for hearing; and (g) a bar to any Debtor asserting any claimor Cause of Action released by the Debtor Release against any of the Released Parties. Theprobability of success in litigation with respect to the released claims and Causes of Action, whenweighed against the costs, supports the Debtor Release. With respect to each of these potentialCauses of Action, the parties could assert colorable defenses and the probability of success isuncertain. The Debtors' or the Reorganized Debtors' pursuit of any such claims or Causes ofAction against the Released Parties is not in the best interests of the Estates or the Debtors' variousCCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Fileiledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 1 156 o of f1 1334516constituencies because the costs involved would likely outweigh any potential benefit frompursuing such claims or Causes of Action30. Holders of Claims and Interests entitled to vote have overwhelmingly votedin favor of the Plan, including the Debtor Release. The Plan, including the Debtor Release, wasnegotiated before and after the Petition Date by sophisticated parties represented by able counseland advisors, including the Consenting Creditors. The Debtor Release is therefore the result of ahard fought and arm's-length negotiation process conducted in good faith.31. The Debtor Release appropriately offers protection to parties thatparticipated in the Debtors' restructuring process, including the Consenting Creditors, whoseparticipation in the Chapter 11 Cases is critical to the Debtors' successful emergence frombankruptcy. Specifically, the Released Parties, including the Consenting Creditors, madesignificant concessions and contributions to the Chapter 11 Cases, including, entering into theLock-Up Agreement and related agreements, supporting the Plan and the Chapter 11 Cases, andwaiving or agreeing to impair substantial rights and Claims against the Debtors under the Plan (aspart of the compromises composing the settlement underlying the revised Plan) in order tofacilitate a consensual reorganization and the Debtors' emergence from chapter 11. The DebtorRelease for the Debtors' directors and officers is appropriate because the Debtors' directors andofficers share an identity of interest with the Debtors and, as previously stated, supported and madesubstantial contributions to the success of the Plan, the Chapter 11 Cases, and operation of theDebtors' business during the Chapter 11 Cases, actively participated in meetings, negotiations, andimplementation during the Chapter 11 Cases, and have provided other valuable consideration tothe Debtors to facilitate the Debtors' successful reorganization and continued operation.CCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Fileiledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 1 167 o of f1 133451732. The scope of the Debtor Release is appropriately tailored under the factsand circumstances of the Chapter 11 Cases. In light of, among other things, the value provided bythe Released Parties to the Debtors' Estates and the critical nature of the Debtor Release to thePlan, the Debtor Release is appropriate.v. Release by Holders of Claims and Interests33. The release by the Releasing Parties (the “Third-Party Release”), set forthin Article VIII.D of the Plan, is an essential provision of the Plan. The Third-Party Release is: (a)consensual as to those Releasing Parties that did not specifically and timely object or properly optout from the Third-Party Release; (b) within the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to28 U.S.C. § 1334; (c) in exchange for the good and valuable consideration provided by theReleased Parties; (d) a good faith settlement and compromise of the claims and Causes of Actionreleased by the Third-Party Release; (e) materially beneficial to, and in the best interests of, theDebtors, their Estates, and their stakeholders, and is important to the overall objectives of the Planto finally resolve certain Claims among or against certain parties in interest in the Chapter 11Cases; (f) fair, equitable, and reasonable; (g) given and made after due notice and opportunity forhearing; (h) appropriately narrow in scope given that it expressly excludes, among other things,any Cause of Action that is judicially determined by a Final Order to have constituted actual fraud,willful misconduct, or gross negligence; (i) a bar to any of the Releasing Parties asserting anyclaim or Cause of Action released by the Third-Party Release against any of the Released Parties;and (j) consistent with sections 105, 524, 1123, 1129, and 1141 and other applicable provisions ofthe Bankruptcy Code.34. The Third-Party Release is an integral part of the agreement embodied inthe Plan among the relevant parties in interest. Like the Debtor Release, the Third-Party ReleaseCCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Fileiledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 1 178 o of f1 1334518facilitated participation in both the Debtors' Plan and the chapter 11 process generally. The Third-Party Release is instrumental to the Plan and was critical in incentivizing parties to support thePlan and preventing significant and time-consuming litigation regarding the parties' respectiverights and interests. The Third-Party Release was a core negotiation point in connection with thePlan and instrumental in developing the Plan that maximized value for all of the Debtors'stakeholders and kept the Debtors intact as a going concern. As such, the Third-Party Releaseappropriately offers certain protections to parties who constructively participated in the Debtors'restructuring process—including the Consenting Creditors (as set forth above)—by, among otherthings, facilitating the negotiation and consummation of the Plan, supporting the Plan and, in thecase of the Backstop Providers, committing to provide new capital to facilitate the Debtors'emergence from chapter 11. Specifically, the Notes Ad Hoc Group proposed and negotiated thepari passu transaction that is the basis of the restructuring proposed under the Plan and provideda much-needed deleveraging to the Debtors' business while taking a discount on their Claims (inexchange for other consideration).35. Furthermore, the Third-Party Release is consensual as to all parties ininterest, including all Releasing Parties, and such parties in interest were provided notice of thechapter 11 proceedings, the Plan, the deadline to object to confirmation of the Plan, and theCombined Hearing and were properly informed that all holders of Claims against or Interests inthe Debtors that did not file an objection with the Court in the Chapter 11 Cases that included anexpress objection to the inclusion of such holder as a Releasing Party under the provisionscontained in Article VIII of the Plan would be deemed to have expressly, unconditionally,generally, individually, and collectively consented to the release and discharge of all claims andCauses of Action against the Debtors and the Released Parties. Additionally, the release provisionsCCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Fileiledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 1 189 o of f1 1334519of the Plan were conspicuous, emphasized with boldface type in the Plan, the DisclosureStatement, the Ballots, and the applicable notices. Except as set forth in the Plan, all ReleasingParties were properly informed that unless they (a) checked the “opt out” box on the applicableBallot or opt-out form and returned the same in advance of the Voting Deadline, as applicable, or(b) timely Filed an objection to the releases contained in the Plan that was not resolved beforeentry of this Confirmation Order, they would be deemed to have expressly consented to the releaseof all Claims and Causes of Action against the Released Parties.36. The Ballots sent to all holders of Claims and Interests entitled to vote, aswell as the notice of the Combined Hearing sent to all known parties in interest (including thosenot entitled to vote on the Plan), unambiguously provided in bold letters that the Third-PartyRelease was contained in the Plan.37. The scope of the Third-Party Release is appropriately tailored under thefacts and circumstances of the Chapter 11 Cases, and parties in interest received due and adequatenotice of the Third-Party Release. Among other things, the Plan provides appropriate and specificdisclosure with respect to the claims and Causes of Action that are subject to the Third-PartyRelease, and no other disclosure is necessary. The Debtors, as evidenced by the VotingDeclaration and Certificate of Publication, including by providing actual notice to all knownparties in interest, including all known holders of Claims against, and Interests in, any Debtor andpublishing notice in international and national publications for the benefit of unknown parties ininterest, provided sufficient notice of the Third-Party Release, and no further or other notice isnecessary. The Third-Party Release is designed to provide finality for the Debtors, theReorganized Debtors and the Released Parties regarding the parties' respective obligations underthe Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary, anyparty who timely opted-out of the Third-Party Release is not bound by the Third-PartyRelease.CCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Fileiledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 1 290 o of f1 133452038. The Third-Party Release is specific in language, integral to the Plan, andgiven for substantial consideration. The Releasing Parties were given due and adequate notice ofthe Third-Party Release, and thus the Third-Party Release is consensual under controllingprecedent as to those Releasing Parties that did not specifically and timely object. In light of,among other things, the value provided by the Released Parties to the Debtors' Estates and theconsensual and critical nature of the Third-Party Release to the Plan, the Third-Party Release isappropriatevi. Exculpation.39. The exculpation described in Article VIII.E of the Plan (the “Exculpation”)is appropriate under applicable law, including In re Highland Capital Mgmt., L.P., 48 F. 4th 419(5th Cir. 2022), because it was supported by proper evidence, proposed in good faith, wasformulated following extensive good-faith, arm's-length negotiations with key constituents, and isappropriately limited in scope.40. No Entity or Person may commence or continue any action, employ anyprocess, or take any other act to pursue, collect, recover or offset any Claim, Interest, debt,obligation, or Cause of Action relating or reasonably likely to relate to any act or commission inconnection with, relating to, or arising out of a Covered Matter (including one that alleges theactual fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct of a Covered Entity), unless expresslyauthorized by the Bankruptcy Court after (1) it determines, after a notice and a hearing, such Claim,Interest, debt, obligation, or Cause of Action is colorable and (2) it specifically authorizes suchEntity or Person to bring such Claim or Cause of Action. The Bankruptcy Court shall have soleand exclusive jurisdiction to determine whether any such Claim, Interest, debt, obligation or Causeof Action is colorable and, only to the extent legally permissible and as provided for in Article XI,CCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Fileiledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 2 201 o of f1 1334521shall have jurisdiction to adjudicate such underlying colorable Claim, Interest, debt, obligation, orCause of Action.vii. Injunction.41. The injunction provisions set forth in Article VIII.F of the Plan are essentialto the Plan and are necessary to implement the Plan and to preserve and enforce the discharge,Debtor Release, the Third-Party Release, and the Exculpation provisions in Article VIII of thePlan. The injunction provisions are appropriately tailored to achieve those purposes.viii. Preservation of Claims and Causes of Action.42. Article IV.L of the Plan appropriately provides for the preservation by theDebtors of certain Causes of Action in accordance with section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.Causes of Action not released by the Debtors or exculpated under the Plan will be retained by theReorganized Debtors as provided by the Plan.

For the avoidance of anydoubt, Causes of Action released or exculpated under the Plan will not be retained by theReorganized Debtors.c. Section 1123(d) – Cure of Defaults43. Article V.D of the Plan provides for the satisfaction of Cure Claimsassociated with each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease to be assumed in accordance withsection 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Any Disputed Cure Amounts will bedetermined in accordance with the procedures set forth in Article V.D of the Plan, and applicablebankruptcy and nonbankruptcy law. As such, the Plan provides that the Debtors will Cure, orprovide adequate assurance that the Debtors will promptly Cure, defaults with respect to assumedExecutory Contracts and Unexpired Leases in accordance with section 365(b)(1) of theBankruptcy Code. Thus, the Plan complies with section 1123(d) of the Bankruptcy Code.d. Section 1129(a)(2) – Compliance of the Debtors and Others with the ApplicableProvisions of the Bankruptcy Code.44. The Debtors, as proponents of the Plan, have complied with all applicableprovisions of the Bankruptcy Code as required by section 1129(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code,including sections 1122, 1123, 1124, 1125, 1126, and 1128, and Bankruptcy Rules 3017, 3018,and 3019.e. Section 1129(a)(3) – Proposal of Plan in Good Faith.45. The Debtors have proposed the Plan in good faith, in accordance with theBankruptcy Code requirements, and not by any means forbidden by law. In determining that thePlan has been proposed in good faith, the Court has examined the totality of the circumstancesfiling of the Chapter 11 Cases, including the formation of Intrum AB of Texas LLC (“IntrumTexas”), the Plan itself, and the process leading to its formulation. The Debtors' good faith isevident from the facts and record of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Disclosure Statement, and the recordof the Combined Hearing and other proceedings held in the Chapter 11 CasesCCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Fileiledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 2 223 o of f1 133452346. The Plan (including the Plan Supplement and all other documents necessaryto effectuate the Plan) is the product of good faith, arm's-length negotiations by and among theDebtors, the Debtors' directors and officers and the Debtors' key stakeholders, including theConsenting Creditors and each of their respective professionals. The Plan itself and the processleading to its formulation provide independent evidence of the Debtors' and such other parties'good faith, serve the public interest, and assure fair treatment of holders of Claims or Interests.Consistent with the overriding purpose of chapter 11, the Debtors Filed the Chapter 11 Cases withthe belief that the Debtors were in need of reorganization and the Plan was negotiated and proposedwith the intention of accomplishing a successful reorganization and maximizing stakeholder value,and for no ulterior purpose. Accordingly, the requirements of section 1129(a)(3) of the BankruptcyCode are satisfied.f. Section 1129(a)(4) – Court Approval of Certain Payments as Reasonable.47. Any payment made or to be made by the Debtors, or by a person issuingsecurities or acquiring property under the Plan, for services or costs and expenses in connectionwith the Chapter 11 Cases, or in connection with the Plan and incident to the Chapter 11 Cases,has been approved by, or is subject to the approval of, the Court as reasonable. Accordingly, thePlan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(a)(4).g. Section 1129(a)(5)—Disclosure of Directors and Officers and Consistency with theInterests of Creditors and Public Policy.48. The identities of or process for appointment of the Reorganized Debtors'directors and officers proposed to serve after the Effective Date were disclosed in the PlanSupplement in advance of the Combined Hearing. Accordingly, the Debtors have satisfied therequirements of section 1129(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code.CCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Fileiledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 2 234 o of f1 1334524h. Section 1129(a)(6)—Rate Changes.49. The Plan does not contain any rate changes subject to the jurisdiction of anygovernmental regulatory commission and therefore will not require governmental regulatoryapproval. Therefore, section 1129(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code does not apply to the Plan.i. Section 1129(a)(7)—Best Interests of Holders of Claims and Interests.50.

Sections 1129(a)(14), (15), and (16)—Domestic Support Obligations, Individuals,and Nonprofit Corporations.57. The Debtors do not owe any domestic support obligations, are notindividuals, and are not nonprofit corporations. Therefore, sections 1129(a)(14), 1129(a)(15), and1129(a)(16) of the Bankruptcy Code do not apply to the Chapter 11 Cases.CCaassee 2 244-9-900557755 D Dooccuummeennt t2 29663-2 F Fileiledd i nin T TXXSSBB o onn 1 021/3/113/2/245 P Paaggee 2 267 o of f1 1334527q.

Whenever we consider buying something, we typically look at the cost to purchase it and make our decision accordingly. However, the initial purchase price is just part of the story. Instead, in order to give ourselves a fuller context, we need to look at the costs behind the cost.

The Truth About Off-Market Properties and Valuation Shortfalls Welcome back to another episode of Talk Property To Me! I'm your host, Brad East, alongside my co-host, Aaron Downie. In today's episode, we dive deep into the intricate world of property valuations, a crucial aspect for anyone looking to buy, sell, or invest in real estate. We kick off the discussion by introducing the various types of property valuations that lenders utilize. From Automated Valuation Models (AVMs) to desktop and curbside valuations, we break down how each method works and the implications they have on property value assessments. We highlight the importance of understanding these methodologies, especially when it comes to pulling equity for investment purposes. One of the key points we address is the difference between a property's market value and its purchase price. We emphasize that lenders often rely on third-party valuers to mitigate the emotional biases that can lead buyers to overspend. This leads us into a discussion about the subjective nature of property value, where we explore how personal circumstances can justify higher prices for certain buyers. As we navigate through the episode, we touch on the common pitfalls in property valuations, particularly when it comes to off-the-plan purchases. We share insights on how relying solely on real estate agents' guide prices and median prices can lead to overvaluation and disappointment. We stress the importance of conducting thorough research and performing a comparative market analysis to arrive at a realistic property value. We also delve into the role of buyer's agents and the concept of off-market properties. While off-market opportunities can be appealing, we discuss the nuances of the current market, particularly in Newcastle, and whether these properties truly offer better value or simply serve as a sales tactic. Throughout the episode, we provide practical tips for listeners on how to approach property valuations. We encourage them to attend open homes, observe market trends, and understand the significance of inventory rates and days on the market. In closing, we reiterate the importance of being well-informed and cautious when it comes to property valuations. We remind our audience that while market value is often what someone is willing to pay, it's essential to justify any significant deviations from the median price in the area.

When Jay Conner talks about making $155,140 in just five weeks using private money, he isn't spinning tall tales. Instead, he's sharing the transformative power of private money in real estate investing. Let's dive into the methods and strategies Jay employed to turn an ordinary deal into a goldmine.Finding the Perfect Deal: Leveraging Technology and Understanding MotivationsTo strike gold in real estate, you need to find the right deal. Jay's success began with pinpointing a motivated seller. He used Google ads to attract these sellers and stressed the importance of immediate follow-up in capturing potential opportunities. In this particular instance, Jay came across an oceanfront condominium located at 855 Salter Path Road, Colony by the Sea. The seller's motivations were clear: inheritance issues and impending foreclosure. Understanding these motivations allowed Jay to negotiate more effectively.With a realtor's help, Jay discovered the property's after-repaired value (ARV) was $600,000, while the seller asked for $425,000. This immediate gap presented a lucrative opportunity. Jay also found renovation costs to be relatively low at just $11,000 – making this deal even more enticing.Breaking Down the Numbers: Understanding the Financial LandscapeJay's approach to financing this deal was through private money. Here's a breakdown of the financials:  **Purchase Price:** $425,000 **Renovation Cost:** $11,000 **Realtor Fee:** $31,400Using his strategy, Jay borrowed $450,000 in private money, ensuring he had $25,000 excess cash at closing – preparing him for any unexpected expenses and enhancing his liquidity. Jay's golden rule is borrowing a maximum of 75% of the ARV, which, in this case, was sound due to the property's valuation.The Sale: Effective Marketing and Quick ActionsJay employed effective marketing strategies to elevate the property's appeal. Utilizing professional media including music videos and pictures, he implemented a 'coming soon' campaign to generate buzz and demand. The results were impressive. Though the initial offer came in at $615,000, a subsequent offer of $628,000 came through, which Jay gladly accepted.Within just two weeks of listing, Jay closed the sale at $628,000. Such quick actions and strategic marketing not only led to a profitable transaction but also underscored the importance of agility in real estate.Profit Calculation: Detailed InsightsWhen the dust settled, Jay's meticulous planning culminated in a substantial profit.

We've already had more inflation in this young 2020s decade than the entire 2010s. If the next forty years have as much inflation as the last forty, gas will cost $13.38 per gallon, the average home $1.88 million, and the average rent $59,000 annually.  Inflation impoverishes most people. You can profit from it 3 ways at the same time. Watch the free 3-part video series: GetRichEducation.com/TripleCrown.  The 30-year fixed rate mortgage is a uniquely American construct. It virtually exists nowhere else in the world. I compare this to mortgage terms in Europe, Canada and Australia.  In much of the world, homeowners have had their mortgage payments double overnight! Trends that won't soon be disrupted: more inflation, people need to live somewhere, there aren't enough places to live. That's so simple! Invest in it. Rents are increasing the most where little new supply has been added. There's a myth that gigantic institutional investors are gobbling up all the single-family rental homes. But they only own 3% of the market. Mom & pops own 80%. Single-family rents are up 3.4% per CoreLogic. Detached SFHs are up more than attached types. Property prices and rents are positively correlated. Some people falsely think that they move inversely.

I'm your host, Keith Weinhold. Learn how the misery of INFLATION is altering BOTH your quality of life and the return on ALL of your investments… … also, many people are now having their mortgage payments DOUBLE overnight and IT'S creating pain, then, what are the factors affecting the future direction of RENTS - all that, and more, today on Get Rich Education!  ______________   Welcome to GRE! You're listening to one of the longest-running and most listened-to shows on real estate investing. This is Get Rich Education. I'm your host, Keith Weinhold - the voice of RE since 2014.   I don't know if you fully realize how much inflation is steering all of your investments - and it's emphatic at a time like this when the dollar is down 25% cumulatively just in the last four years. Gosh!   And I've got some jaw-dropping inflation fact to share with you soon.    We'll get to inflation's RE affects shortly. But here's what I mean.    In stocks, they keep riding up on a wave of optimism, anticipating a Fed interest rate cut - largely due to future INFLATION expectations. Yes, there's jobs & GDP and some other factors.   But the stock market - which is a FORWARD-looking market - it moves based on what's expected to happen 6 to 12 months from now.    STOCK investors know that rate cuts open the floodgates to get us closer to the “easy money” days again.    That's why - as backwards as it is, the worse the economy looks, the lower that inflation tends to be, and then, in turn, the lower that interest rates can go, which the stock market likes.   So a worsening economy often pumps up the stock market. Soooo backwards.    Just look at what happens historically. Recessions sound bad. Yet what happens is that rates get cut in a recession - because the economy needs the help.    But nearer-term, it's this ongoing expectation of the rate cut - that's been looming out there for months but hasn't happened - which CAN keep propelling the stock market to higher highs. It's already hit all-time highs here recently. You can make the CASE that stocks should keep floating higher from here… based on that premise.   Before we look at real estate & inflation. Understand this.    Inflation has already widened the divide between the affluent and the deprived. That divide has gone from a gully to a canyon.   But... my gosh! Here's the stat that I want to share with you. And you're really going to get a sense for the gravity of what you're living through this decade.   We've already seen more inflation in the first 51 months of the 2020s decade than in the ENTIRE decade of the 2010s. Already.   This gets really interesting. Let's look at about the last four decades here.    Alright, in the 1990s decade, America had 34% cumulative inflation. Let's go ahead and… we'll associate this decade with President Bill Clinton.    We won't tie any President to the inflation number because there are lag effects and other factors. A President really can't take the credit or blame, in most cases. Just marking the era here.   So, 34% inflation in the 1990s.    The 2000s decade saw the GFC and… 29% inflation. Most of those were George W. Bush years.   The 2010s decade saw lower inflation → Just 19%. So that's under 2% a year. These were mostly the Obama years here in the 2010s.    Little flex there from the former Commander in Chief.   Then the 2020s decade → have seen, like I alluded to, and under Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. - yes, as the oldest sitting president ever, it's easy to forget that he's a “junior. In this young 2020s decade, we have, 21% cumulative inflation. Already.   So this figure is after just the first 51 months of this decade, if we're counting from 2020… and this is largely due to supply shortages from the COVID pandemic.    So 21% ALREADY this decade… and just 19% ALLLL of last decade which was a full decade. That's the impact.    That's reflective of what you see in home prices and rent prices and utilities, transportation, labor, and almost every facet of your life.… and what you see in your weekly Costco bill and Trader Joe's bill.    Who have we left out here? A one-term president, so far? Does somebody feel left out.    Yes, that is the actual person of one Donald John Trump.   Psssshhh!   All of those figures I cited are from the BLS, and I've been rounding to nearest whole percent.   But get this! Inflation over the next forty years could make the LAST 40 years seem like a picnic.    That's partly because we're $35T in debt and that figure now grows by $1T every single quarter… every 90 to 100 days. So we MUST keep dollar-printing to help pay it back.   But just, if the last forty years repeats itself, by the year 2064, which is the next forty years, we'll see these prices. Prepare for a future that looks like this: Gas at $13.38 per gallon The home price at $1.88 million Average rent at $59,000 per year And the average salary at $104,000 That is if inflation over the next 40 years, looks like that last 40 years. Also, note how salaries don't keep pace with prices. That $104K average salary in the year 2064 doesn't sound as high-flying as those other figures.   Well, this is all really frustrating for consumers… and even debilitating to one's standard of living. Remember, this latest wave of inflation brought us the biggest YOY increase in homelessness - based on HUD figures.   and why you need to invest in something that reliably BENEFITS from inflation and pays you an income at the same time.    Look, here's really, the deal. Dollars are abundant. So then isn't it a paradox that a major spike in the supply of dollars would create more homelessness?   Well, you know that dollars are there for your taking - because so many more have been brought into existence. Dollars are abundant. So as they cycle through the economy, rather than going through the consumer motions, you can build your diverter. That's where the world of abundance exists, so get into that flow.   Ultimately, REAL capital is scarce. Your time and energy are scarce. Natural resources are scarce. Labor is scarce.   What's frustrating is that money ought to reflect that scarcity if it is going to accurately convey the value that enables people to make capital accumulation decisions.    And alas, we're doing our measuring in dollars and the dollar is not remotely scarce.   The middle class and poor often have wages that don't track inflation, yet they disproportionately suffer the higher consumer prices.   The investor class owns assets that float up with inflation. And GRE listeners will do even better than that.   As income property owners with mortgages, we're winning three ways at the same time with the Inflation Triple Crown. That's your dollar diverter.   Alright, so that's longer-term inflation. I've been talking in terms of decades - both the past and with an extrapolation into the future to 2064 there - and it's really rather sobering.   Well, what's the more CURRENT inflation situation? The situationship? Ha! What's the situationship now?   In trying to quiet it down to their 2% target, the Fed has run into so many hurdles that you'd think they were training for this summer's Olympics in Paris.   After it peaked over 9% two full years ago now, inflation's been bouncing near 3-and-a-half-percent for a year and they just keep having trouble getting it lower than that.   Hmmm... would we say that this could turn into Jerome Powell's three-quarters life crisis? We'll see.   Rising inflation is one of the key factors that brought down the Roman Empire. They famously experienced hyperinflation after a series of emperors lowered the silver content of their currency, called the denarius.    Today, some lament that the dollar isn't backed by gold, silver, or anything else.   But it is.   It's backed by the world's most powerful military, strongest economy, reserve currency status, international trade agreements, and you also… must pay your taxes in dollars.    Dollars are still liquid and useful… but perpetually debased, so get them and then transition out of them.    Yet, at the same time, we're also the greatest debtor nation in world history. The easiest way to pay it all back is to simply print more and inflate more.   So that's why it's almost inevitable that dollars will keep being worth less... and BTW, the two words “worth less” sound awfully close to the word “worthless”. Ha!    That's where we keep heading.   Until you can send a Venmo request to the Fed to compensate you for your loss in purchasing power, we need to actually do something about this.    And the dollar that you had when you started listening to me today could very well now only be worth 99 cents. Ha!   We can either have our standard of living degraded by inflation or we will decide to profit from it.   So, if you haven't yet, check out GetRichEducation.com/TripleCrown.   Rather than impoverish you, learn how you can make inflation CREATE wealth for you three ways at the same time with that free, 3-part Inflation Triple Crown video series. Good learning there.   It's free & easy to watch, again, at GetRichEducation.com/TripleCrown   Inflation seemingly seeps into everything.   Inflation took down the commercial sector - Apt buildings & offices. Apts are down 30-40% in the last two years. It's all because inflation made the Fed panic and jack up those rates.   If that's not jaw-dropping enough. Office values are down 80%+ in the last two years. 80%+, 90%+ in some cases.    Of course, office RE got the double-whammy of the inflation-induced interest rate hikes AND the Work-From-Anywhere movement.   That leaves residential 1-4 unit properties in good standing - and still impacted by inflation, but LESS impacted by inflation.    Yeah, your 1-4 unit RENTS are up - and I'll talk more about rent later in the show today.    inflation also jacked up your expenses like insurance, utilities, maintenance & repair cost and more.   But as we move away from the inflation conversation now, of course, one big reason that 1-4s have stayed resilient is the American privilege of LTFIRD - and the fact that it's 30 years for most US properties.   In fact, in 2022, 89% of homebuyers applied for the 30-year.   I think that you're about to get more appreciation for this… perhaps than you've ever had.   The 30-year FRM is a UNIQUELY American construct.    And, BTW, some people don't seem to know what the word “unique” means. You've probably heard people misusing this word all the time.   Unique does not mean something that's sort of different.    Unique means “ONE of a kind”. Unique means something that does not exist ANYWHERE else.    What do I do here on this show? Besides giving you the occasional geography lesson as a side dish to your real estate, I do this with vocabulary, grammar, and syntax as well, don't I?    Even though my own is surely imperfect.   Anyway, the reason that the 30-year mortgage can exist is due to our deep financial markets - especially our secondary market for mortgage-backed securities, where your loan gets packaged up and purchased by a bond investor - a bit like Ridge Lending Group President Caeli Ridge & I touched on last week.   The reason that mortgage-backed securities are attractive to investors in the U.S. and across the globe is because their government sponsorship makes them safe investments over long periods of time. They also provide a fixed payout to the MBS holder.   And see, the rate on the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage tracks closely to 10-year Treasurys because “U.S. real estate is almost as good an investment as a U.S. Treasury bond.”   They've got Fannie & Freddie insurance.   And that entire MBS process now has more guardrails in it than we had before the Global Financial Crisis.   We're talking about the foundation here - really - of where you get your big lumps of money from - the 30-year FRM and its uniqueness.   Compared to the world, the US has very little variable rate debt.    Less than 4% of American mortgage borrowers have debt that's on rate terms of a year or less. Over 96% of US debt is LTFRD, defined as 10 years or more.   That is virtually unparalleled worldwide. To compare us to some other developed nations, mortgage borrowers in Germany - just 47% of them have long-term fixed debt - and none of them can get 30-year debt.   Long-term debt, again, defined as ten years or more,  Is little to ZILCH for mortgage borrowers in Canada, the UK, Ireland, Italy, Sweden, Finland, Australia, and other developed nations like them.   In Canada, the most common mortgage terms reset to the prevailing market interest rate every five years.    In Finland, their mortgages reset annually or faster. Gosh, can you imagine if your mortgage rate reset every year like it does for the Finns?   Sheesh, that's more often than some people lose the remote control or rearrange their furniture.   OK. So what's this really mean?   Ya gotta… pour one out for most mortgage borrowers in the rest of the world.   They can't lock in their mortgage interest rate for the long-term. So with rates doubling or tripling, starting from 3 years ago, it's totally ruined a lot of foreign homeowners.   Look, what if you're middle class and your monthly mortgage payment soars from $1,893 on Tuesday up to $3,415 on Wednesday?   That's what's happening elsewhere. It can go up 50% overnight and nearly double overnight in Australia, Europe and elsewhere.   But in the mortgage-advantaged US, we're safe.   If we buy at an 8% mortgage rate on a 30-year fixed amortizing loan today—just the plain, vanilla loan: If rates rise to 10% later, you're happy to be locked-in at 8% If rates fall to 6% later, you'll refinance Note that I refrain from saying "just refinance". I don't like the word "just". You'll still need hours to provide documentation and your credit score will be checked. But it's worth it.   You won't “just refinance”. Ha! You'll refinance.   So think of it this way then, you can alter your deal with the bank whenever you want—and usually with no prepayment penalty. Yet the bank can't alter it on you.   What did Darth Vader say to Lando Calrissian in the “Empire Strikes Back?”. I am altering the deal, pray that I don't alter it any further.    Ha! We better not play that clip here. I don't know the copyright laws with LucasFilm or Disney there. Ha!   But you're not a dark lord of the Sith for doing it… for altering the deal on the bank. You're playing within the rules.    This is almost an unfair advantage for Americans.   The bottom line here - with this unique American advantage, is that, as rates change, you get to play both sides of the game. And that's why we add smart properties with loans.    We turn that into wealth, with compound LEVERAGE.    Now, mere compound interest, that's a vehicle for you to rely on more for your shorter-term funds, your cash or what you're keeping more liquid.   Long-term wealth is build through compound LEVERAGE.   Short-term funds - that's for compound INTEREST.   And… your bank is getting rich off of YOU. The national average bank account pays less than 1% on your savings. If your money isn't making about 4-5% today, you're losing your hard-earned cash to inflation.  What I do, is keep my dollars in a private LIQUIDITY FUND. You can do this too. Your cash generates up to an 8% return with—COMPOUND INTEREST—year in and year out instead of earning less than 1% sitting in your bank account - or even 4-5% elsewhere. The minimum investment is just $25K. You keep getting paid until you decide you want your money back. This private LIQUIDITY FUND has a decade-plus track record - and they've always paid their investors 100% in full and on time. I would know… because, I'm an investor with them myself. See what it feels like to earn 8%. A lot of other GRE listeners are. To learn more, just text the word FAMILY to 66866 to learn more about Freedom Family Investments' LIQUIDITY FUND. Get 8% interest!

You're listening to Get Rich Education. _____________   Welcome back… you're listening to Episode 503 of Get Rich Education. I'm your host, Keith Weinhold.   We've got a poll result, from our Get Rich Education Instagram Page.    The poll question was simple. “When buying property, what's more important?”    The purchase price or the mortgage rate.   71% of you said the purchase price. 29% of you said the mortgage rate.    Of course, both are important, but I think that the PURCHASE PRICE is the best answer - because your purchase price stays fixed for the life of your ownership period, and you can CHANGE your fixed mortgage rate and make it malleable… whenever it suits your needs.   As we talk about where the OPPORTUNITY is today, though multifamily apartments are going to bottom out sometime and therefore, at some point, they'll make a wise investment - who REALLY knows - maybe the time for larger apartments is now…   … one opportunity is… giving good people OPTIONS during a housing affordability crisis.   And what's going on right now is that… let me put it this way… when people have a hard time affording their own home today, basically (ha!) people are having a hard time transitioning from resenting their landlord to bickering with an HOA.    Ha! That's kind of how the world works.   Seemingly everyone would rather be bickering with an HOA rather than resenting their landlord.    A lot of renters want to be buyers… they can't… and that isn't expected to change anytime soon… as prices will likely stay elevated… and mortgage rates are staying higher, longer too.   These things are ALMOST “knowns”. It's often wise… to invest in trends that are known. Nothing's completely predictable, but when you're looking for a place to park your investment dollars, a few other things… are known… right now.   And AI is not expected to change what I'm about to tell you… anytime soon.   VR - virtual reality is not about to change what I'm about to tell you anytime soon.   AR - augmented reality isn't either. Machine learning won't imminently disrupt this.   And that is, that… everyone expects more long-term inflation. At what rate, no one knows.   People will need to live somewhere… and there are not enough places to live.   Those three facts, right there, are so simple. I love simple. Ha! One reason I love simple things is that I can remember it.    So many investors - investors in all types of things, say, from tech EFTs to junior mining stocks to crypto - you can make money there.   But, at times, investors will unnecessarily go out on the risk curve and GUESS and speculate… at a future trend.    Some are right. They're often wrong, and adopting too much of that approach… that's exactly when your risk-adjusted return goes down throughout your investor life.   Instead, you can get great returns - real estate pays 5 ways-type of returns - in these trends that I just described that are near certainties.   Why guess? When instead, you can almost be certain.   Often times, the certain thing is right… there.    It's often easier, like I think I brought up on the show once before, inspired by Jeff Bezos - don't ask what will change in 10 years.    The more insightful question and profitable question that fewer people think to ask is actually - “What will be the SAME in ten years?”   Well, when we talk about rents and the fact that tenants WILL keep paying you to live somewhere ten years from now, the trend that's taking place here in the mid-20s decade - here in the mid 2020s, is that… Rents are increasing the most where there hasn't been enough new supply added - up 5-6% in parts of the Northeast including New York and Boston - Seattle too… and parts of the Midwest. Detroit and Honolulu rents are each up about 5%.   Rents are decreasing the least, and even declined - where they've added lots of new supply recently, like Austin, Texas and Miami, where they're down 3% or more in each. New Orleans is another major city that's down - at minus 1%.    But among the larger cities, Austin, Texas is the WORST performer in the nation right now.   If you're listening to this either this week or you're listening to this ten years from today, if you want to know future rent trends, look at where they're adding supply.   Especially in apartments. But all these new apartments will fill up and nationally, they're building fewer apartments this year than last year's apartment-building boom.   When we talk about rents and who owns SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES, there are a few myths that I want to help bust for you here.   There seems to be this misconception or misinformation that GIANT Wall Street firms are buying up all the SFRs. That's just not true.    Now, there is more participation from the big firms than there has been historically, but those that own 1 to 9 SFRs… which is our definition of mom & pop investors here… constitute 80% of the SFR market.   80% own one to nine units. Now, you might own more than 9.    In fact, 14% are in that next tier up, owning 10 to 99 SFRs. Then 3% - known as small national investors own between a hundred and a thousand.   And, what's left, the big institutional investors - those that own 1,000+ SFRs - and you've heard of some of these companies - Invitation Homes, and another is American Homes 4 Rent.    Progress Residential, Blackstone, First Key Homes  - all those big players own just 3% of the market.   So again, 80% are the small ones - the mom & pops… a highly fractured market.   There are a total of 82 million SFHs in the United States. Out of all of them, do you have any idea what percent are OOed and how many are rentals?   It's 83% OOed and 17% of the single-families are rentals. So about one-sixth of SFHs are rented out.   Now, here's the thing. Some people tend to think of mom and pop single-family rental operators as unsophisticated charity case workers who never raise rents.    That's part of the perception out there.    But that narrative has never really been true, and, in fact, the COO of American Homes 4 Rent - his name's Bryan Smith - recently brought up this key point on their recent earnings call.   He said that while historically mom and pops hadn't always priced directly to market because of a lack of market data, "they've migrated into a strategy that's closer to ours."   How is this and why is this? Anymore, why ARE mom & pops raising rents just about as aggressively as the big institutional players.    It's really increased transparency on the rents that landlords are asking… through internet listing sites like Zillow.    It's not that mom and pops didn't increase rents before. (I mean… just look at what happened with rising rents in the 1970s and 80s before institutions were in the sector.)    But when there's a lack of rent amount transparency, it takes longer for operators to discover and adjust to market pricing-- especially for smaller players in a deeply fragmented market.    That's the part that's changing.   But see, increased transparency works both ways. It's good for you and bad for you as a property investor.   This information helps tenants too. In upswing markets, operators may push rents faster than they would otherwise.    But in a downswing market, operators may cut or keep rents flat faster in order to lease the unit.    Because tenants can easily see what other LLs are charging and compare features. When you price too high, units sit vacant and generate no income.   Since renters benefit from increased transparency too, if they see two similar homes, they're usually picking the better deal.   And increased transparency is why NEW lease rent growth is cooling off.    In fact, CoreLogic just released their latest SF Rent Index report last week. It showed that, nationally rents are up 3.4%, which coincidentally, happens to be the same as the latest CPI inflation number.   Detached properties are seeing more rent growth than ATTACHED ones - like townhomes. If you think about it, that makes sense. Townhomes are in less demand now.   Because the homeownership dream, is when one moves out of the apartment & buys a detached house.    And since that's so unaffordable to buy here in the 2020s decade, that's why more people are willing to pay more for to rent the detached type.   Note that SFR rent growth has moderated since mortgage rates spiked-- further dispelling the sticky myth that rents boom when home sales fall.   Remember - when homes price growth is really hot - like it was in 2021 and 2022 - near 15% - rent growth tends to be hot too. It was ALSO near 15%.   And when home price growth is moderate, like it is now, well, rent price growth is moderate too.   Prices and rents move together. They're POSITIVELY correlated. Some people think they move inversely… and we're looking at history over hunches again - what REALLY happens here.   So though you're almost certainly going to get nominal rent growth over time, it's not a good thing for you to count on it in the short-term - it NEVER is, in any era.   The time for you to push rents is, of course, in any market, when you go for NEW leases. A new lease with a new tenant is going to be higher than a renewal lease.   It's the ol' - this has been a good tenant for three years, so I don't want to push the rent too hard & lose them.    To review what you've learned today, inflation is affecting ALL of your investments, 30-year FRMs are a UNIQUE American advantage…   …it's wise to invest in future trends that are KNOWN, if you want to know what is going to happen with rents in the near future, look where they've added supply.    Less new supply correlates with more rent growth… and large institutional investors own just 3% of SFRs.    If you enjoy the show, please, tell a friend about it.   Isaiah on LI had the most flattering comment. Over there, he wrote and called GRE “The best podcast on the planet.”    I… really don't think that I can take credit for that, though… I'd like to think we're a good resource for building your wealth through REI and regularly informing you, giving you ideas that you've never thought about before that add real value to your life.   You've heard of Bidenomics. The first portmanteau type that I ever heard about a President's economic policies is REAGANomics, though it was a little before my time.    Here on the show next week, with us, will be none other than “The Father of Reaganomics”.    Yes, late President RONALD REAGAN'S Budget Director will be here next week. Basically, he was Reagan's “Money Guy”.    His name is David Stockman and he often met with the President in the Oval Office, advising Reagan on economic affairs.   I have asked David Stockman, if besides talking about the condition of today's economy next week, he'll also discuss real estate - and he agreed to do so.    That's “The Father of Reaganomics”. You can look forward to he & I together next week here on the show.   You might be one of the listeners that's been here every single week since 2014 - just like I've been here for you.     A new podcast is published every Monday.

I want to hear more I'll shut up. Right. So remember the seller wants what it wants $3 million."   "You gotta jump. Yeah I think that is the biggest thing is just jumping in.

Welcome back to Money Grows On Trees: The Podcast, where we explore the fascinating world of finance and wealth-building strategies. Your host, Lloyd Ross, The Millionaire Money Mentor dives into the depths of his personal connection with real estate. It's a love-hate relationship that has shaped Lloyd's financial journey and may challenge your own perceptions of this lucrative investment avenue. If you've been following Lloyd on social media or engaging with his content, you might consider your Millionaire Money Mentor an unlikely advocate for real estate. After all, he doesn't currently own any properties and hasn't discussed it extensively before. Yet, there's more to this story than meets the eye. What does Lloyd love and hate about real estate? Join us as we delve into Lloyd's background, which includes his experience as a lawyer specializing in property law, a real estate developer with a global powerhouse, and a successful entrepreneur who has built businesses exceeding seven figures. Through these experiences, Your Millionaire Money Mentor has come to realize that real estate holds both tremendous potential and unexpected pitfalls. But here's the twist: Lloyd consciously chose to distance himself from traditional real estate investments at this stage of his life. Instead, he's focused on building and scaling businesses, which has granted Your Millionaire Money Menotr unparalleled financial independence and the freedom to explore the world on his terms. However, it's crucial to emphasize that Lloyd's decision is not rooted in ignorance. Quite the contrary, his extensive knowledge and understanding of the real estate market have shaped Your Millionaire Money Mentor's perspective on its advantages and challenges. In this episode, we'll delve into what Lloyd loves about real estate – its predictability, steady cash flows, and the leverage it offers for wealth creation. We'll also explore what he dislikes – the transacting costs, short-term unpredictability, and the responsibility it entails. So, why has Your Millionaire Money Mentor chosen to sidestep this game embraced by many? What factors have guided Lloyd's journey towards alternative wealth-building strategies? And most importantly, what can you learn from his experiences to shape your own financial path? Get ready for an eye-opening discussion as we explore the love, hate, and untapped potential of real estate. Welcome to "Money Grows On Trees: the Podcast" Money Grows on Trees Team

Twitter, the renowned social-media platform, once considered the heartbeat of the digital world, has experienced a steep downfall in value. Purchased by Elon Musk, the techno-entrepreneur and CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, the platform's value has plummeted to one-third of the acquisition price, as revealed by Fidelity's recent markdown of its equity stake in Twitter. Elon Musk, who once saw Twitter as an opportunity to push the boundaries of social media, has confessed that the acquisition was not as fruitful as he had envisaged. Purchased for an astronomical $44 billion, including $33.5 billion in equity, Twitter's value has halved, according to Musk. The exact methodology by which Fidelity determined the markdown remains undisclosed, leaving unanswered questions about whether they had access to any non-public information from Twitter. The first signs of decline emerged in November when Fidelity reduced the value of its Twitter stake to 44% of the original purchase price. This initiated a series of further markdowns in December and February, marking a troubled fiscal trajectory for the platform.

Learn the beginner's mistakes to avoid. Is setting up a real estate LLC even worth it? Learn how to build the right credit score for a mortgage loan, including why you actually don't want a score over 800. If a cash flowing property is so great, why would anyone sell it to you? I outline a myriad of reasons. Should you make a lowball offer to a real estate seller? Learn negotiation techniques. Earnest money procedures are covered. The real estate buying process is slow. From the time that you make the offer, it can often take over 30 days to close the deal. Once your offer is accepted, I recommend a professional third party inspection. It can cost you $300 to $500 for a single-family income property up to $1,000 for a fourplex inspection. I cover property appraisals and how they verify the quality of the bank's collateral. Learn how to get a good feel for your property manager and what their duties are.  I discuss the Management Agreement between you and your manager. Be sure to tell your insurance provider that this is a rental property, not your primary residence. A mobile notary meets you at your home, workplace, airport, or even a restaurant in order to complete the paper-and-ink closing process. This wraps up the deal.

The voice of REI since 2014.    This is Get Rich Education Podcast episode 433 - and this is your Beginner's Real Estate Investing Audio Guide. Hi, I'm your host Keith Weinhold.   We're talking about how to get into long-term buy & hold RE investing - and that's because it's the most generationally-proven way to build wealth.   First, let's talk about a couple of the biggest mistakes that real estate investors make - it's being invested in only one geographic market. Often, that's the market that they just happen to live in.    There is more risk with being in only one market than most realize, because you're now tied to the fortunes or misfortunes of just one area's economy.   Another substantial, common real estate investor mistake is that they continue to hold onto one - I'll call it - special - property in their portfolio that they usually need to get rid of - but they have either sentimental ties to it - or they just hold onto it for convenience, and do you know what that property is?   I'm actually talking about a specific property here.   It's the home that YOU YOU USED TO LIVE IN yourself. Well, what's wrong with renting out the home that you used to live in yourself?    You might still have the preferable owner-occupied financing locked in on that one - and afterall, that's a better rate than you could get on a non-owner-occupied rental.   The problem is that the property probably doesn't perform BEST as a rental.   But you might be clearing, say $600 per month by using your former primary residence as a rental today.    Look, for you, it's often about the cash flow - and yes, it is about the cash flow.    But there's something even more important than cash flow - that's because nearly any property will cash flow if the loan were paid off.   That's why it's really more specifically about the rent-to-price ratio of a property.   If you're renting out the home that you used to live in, and it wasn't strategically bought as a rental, if your rent-to-price ratio is 0.4%, meaning that for every $100K in value it has, you're only getting $400 of monthly rent income, then you're losing cash flow dollars every year - and every month.   Look, let's give a real life example of the .4% RV ratio. Say that you can get $2,000 rent out of that $500K property that you used to live in.    But instead, three $150K homes bought strategically as rentals can have a combined rent income of $3,000.    So it's either one $500K property at $2,000 of rent income. Or three $150K properties at $3,000 of rent income.    So you're losing $1,000 dollars of cash flow every month - by not buying and owning strategically in markets in the Midwest and South where the properties make sense as a RENTAL on the day that you buy it.   Your primary residence only made sense as a primary residence on the day that you bought it.    Now you can see that the only reason that you still own it, is because you defaulted and “fell” into it. Don't fall into things. Often, you want to be intentional.    You are a better investor when you're intentional rather than emotional.   It's even better for you now. Beyond your $1,000 of additional cash flow with some repositioning, now, with three properties instead of one - now you've also taken care of the first real estate investor mistake that I mentioned.   WITH three rentals rather than one, now you can be diversified across multiple markets.   Two birds are killed with one stone. Now with some re-positioning, you've increased your cash flow by $1,000, AND you're in multiple markets. One property isn't divisible.   And this $1,000 of monthly cash flow example is small. Of course, the differences can be greater than this.   We're talking about real estate investing for beginners today, so let me clearly guide you through step-by-step on just how you go about buying your first property - writing an offer, getting an independent third-party property inspection and vetting your Property Manager which is known as due diligence, then the appraisal, and onto closing and receiving cash flow from the tenant.   As you'll see, much of today's show pertains to any investment property at all.   But we're talking mostly about how to buy what are known as turnkey homes, especially homes outside your home market - as most of the best deals are not found where you live.   Turnkey means three basic things. #1- You buy a property that's either brand new construction or fully renovated. #2- A tenant is placed for you - and you get to approve them. And #3- the property is held under management for you from Day 1 - if you so choose.   Like they say, the best investors live where they want to live, invest where the numbers make sense.   Today's content is primarily geared toward United States real estate investors - but those that live outside the United States will benefit here too. You might want to buy a property in the US.   Here's a question that you might have - “How do I go about setting up an LLC - a Limited Liability Company - to hold my investment property in?”   I'll tell you - I don't think “How do I set up an LLC?” is the best question to ask.   The best question to ask is, “Should I set up an LLC?”    The three main reasons people set up an LLC are for either anonymity, tax purposes, or asset protection.   Now, if you know that you WANT to set up an LLC - I've done four episodes on that topic with Rich Dad Legal Advisor Garrett Sutton.   You can go to GetRichEducation.com, type “Garrett Sutton” in the search bar, and those four episode numbers will appear so that you can listen. He was just on the show with us 9 weeks ago on Episode 424.   But the reason that the question is, “Should I even SET up an LLC?” is because:   Setup of LLCs complicates your life. Maintaining a registered agent, Articles Of Incorporation, having separate accounts, tracking expenses with separate credit cards, paying annual fees for everything - depending on how many LLCs you have and how you structure your life - it can wear you out.   The second reason you should ask yourself, “Should I even set up an LLC?” is because you might not have many assets for a litigant to go after. Retirement accounts have certain protections already. Equity in a property could be low-hanging fruit for a plaintiff attorney if someone gets a judgment against you. But since the Return From Equity is always zero, what would you have much equity in a property anyway?   The third reason you should ask yourself, “Why should I even set up an LLC?” is that frivolous or slip-and-fall type of lawsuits are rare. Not only have I never been a party to one, I've never even heard of any investor friend or associate having one - and I talk to a lot of people. You probably haven't heard of one either.   Now, note that I'm not saying you can't get an LLC or shouldn't get one. I'm saying, prioritize those questions to yourself.   First, it's “Should I get one?”. If that's a definitive “yes”, only THEN ask: “How do I set one up?”   Why do you think you have to? Did some attorney use fear tactics to get you to?   If the result of the LLC's administrative overburden provides a greater reward in the form of asset protection, anonymity, or tax benefit - which is typically a flow-through taxation type anyway, you might then … get an LLC.   So, as a beginning real estate investor, understand that real estate is a credit-based asset - meaning it's usually bought with a loan.   So let's talk about getting your finances in order before you contact a lender or select an income property.   That begins with you having enough cash liquidated for a 20% down payment on the property - add about 4% for closing costs, depending on the state that you're buying your property in - and on the lowest-priced property that's still in a decent area of a low-cost city - which might be a $100,000 property …   24% of that then is about $24,000 that you'll need. You should have some extra on top of that as reserves.    Now, let's look at another part of your finances - your DTI - your debt-to-income ratio. It cannot exceed 43% to 45% - maybe up to 50% in some circumstances.    So if your monthly minimum debt payments - everywhere in your life - housing payment, minimum credit card payments, minimum car payment - if that sum is $5,000 and your gross monthly income is $10,000 - that's a 50% DTI. You can't exceed that.   Of course, before a bank is willing to loan you money, they want to have a reasonable assurance that you aren't weighed down with debt elsewhere because their fear factor goes up that they won't get paid back.   Next, let's talk about your credit score. We dedicated an entire episode to this back in Episode 54. If you can remember back that far, Philip Tirone was here with us and you learned more about credit scores that you probably ever thought you would …   … and he even went on to call the credit scoring system a total scam. He was quite opinionated - it was interesting and eye-opening, but ...   Playing within the scam here - as it might be.    There are many different credit scoring models, but the FICO Score - F-I-C-O - is a respected one that you're probably going to see your mortgage lender use.   It stands for Fair Isaac Company.   Their credit scoring range is 300 - the worst, up to 850. 850 is essentially a perfect score.   Importantly, 740 is the highest score that helps you here.    If you have a 782 or an 836, it doesn't help you qualify for the loan or get you a lower mortgage interest rate or anything else.    740 is where you're optimized.   Now, just a quick overview of FICO credit scoring ...   There are five primary ingredients that make up your credit score. In order of importance, they are your payment history, amounts owed, length of your credit history, new credit, and finally credit mix.  That first one, Payment History, is the most heavily weighted one. It's 35% of your score. As you might expect, the repayment of past debt is a major factor in the calculation of credit scores. It helps determine your future long-term payment behavior. Both revolving credit (i.e. credit cards) and installment loans (i.e. mortgage) are included in payment history calculations.  Although installment loans like mortgages take a bit more precedence over revolving credit - like credit cards.  This is why one of the best ways to improve or maintain a good score is to make consistent, on-time payments. The next way, your Amounts Owed – 30% This category is basically credit utilization or the percentage of available credit being used - or borrowed against. Credit score formulas “see” borrowers who constantly reach or exceed their credit limit as a potential risk. That is why it's a good idea to keep low credit card balances and not overextend your credit utilization ratio. So if you've got just a $1,000 balance on a credit card with a $10,000 credit limit, that's seen as a good ratio. You're staying well within your limits then.  The third FICO credit score ingredient is the Length of your Credit History – 15% This factor is based on the length of time all credit accounts have been open. It also includes the timeframe since an account's most recent transaction.  Newer credit users could have a more difficult time achieving a high score than those who have a long credit history. That's because if you have a longer credit history, FICO has more data on which to base their payment history. The fourth of five FICO ingredients is your “Credit Mix” – Now we're down to an ingredient only comprising 10% of your score. Credit mix just means that it helps your score if you have a combination of credit cards, retail accounts, installment loans, finance company accounts and mortgage loans.  Finally, “New Credit” makes up the last 10% of your FICO score. Don't open too many new credit accounts in a short period of time. That signifies a greater risk to lenders – and that's especially true for you if you're a borrower with a short credit history.  And you sure don't want to open up any new lines of credit, down the road when you're in the qualification process for buying a new property unless you check with your Mortgage Loan officer first. Now, those five factors have been weighted the same for quite a few years.  Knowing what factors make up your FICO® Credit Score can help you qualify for more loans and get better mortgage interest rates. That's the bottom line. This helps you get pre-qualifed or pre-approved with your Mortgage Lender. To get prequalified, you just need to provide some financial information to your mortgage lender, such as your income and the amount of savings and investments you have. Your lender will review this information and tell you how much they can lend you.    After pre-qualification, you can seek the higher-level status and that is getting pre-APPROVAL for credit. Pre-approval is better than pre-qualification.   If you think about it, it makes sense. Qualifying for anything in life is not as good as getting approved for something - I suppose.   Pre-approval involves providing your more detailed financial documents - like W-2 statements, paycheck stubs, bank account statements, and your previous two years tax returns. This way, your lender can VERIFY your financial status and credit.   Now that you're pre-approved with a lender, you can focus on the market and property that you're interested in.   RidgeLendingGroup.com is the mortgage lender that we recommend most often because they SPECIALIZE in income property. They don't have any seasoning requirements.   Seasoning means that the person selling YOU the property needs to have held onto it for a certain length of time - or the lender won't finance the property for you.   While you're in the pre-approval process, you can be learning about a cash-flowing investment market.    You want to pick a geographic metro market that typically has low-cost properties, and high rent incomes in proportion to those low costs.    In fact, the market is more important than the property. Because your income comes from your tenant, and your tenant's income comes from a job.   So you typically don't want to own much property in a town with 12,000 people that's in an outlying area - not part of a greater metro - where 1/3rd of the employment is tied to one tungsten factory or even one semiconductor manufacturer.   Because now, too much of your income stream is tied to just one industry.   If the tungsten industry goes down, so goes your tenant base.   You also don't want to buy slummy property. Those tenants often don't pay the rent. You also don't want to buy much above an area's median-priced home, because the numbers don't work out.   So you want that working class housing that's just below the median price point for the area.   If you're not already confident about that and familiar with the right provider ...    We have information on the right market, with the right provider, with properties - and they're typically in the MidWest and South - at GREmarketplace.com   So read a market report there. That's good, pointed information.   Most investors are interested in a property for the production of cash flow. That's the margin by which your monthly rent income exceeds all monthly expenses.   Rent income minus expenses should be a positive number.   So that's your monthly rent minus VIMTUM. V-I-M-T-U-M.    Vacancy, Insurance, Maintenance, Taxes, Utilities, and Management.   I like easy ways to remember things and VIMTUM is an easy way to remember.   So, you're listening to the Beginner's Real Estate Investing Audio Guide here as a regular episode of the GRE Podcast.   If you're not a beginner & you're still listening, it's either a good review and you might even be learning some new things along the way yourself.    Including, should you ever lowball a turnkey provider and a negotiation approach that I have for that - in a few minutes.    But first, one reasonable beginner question is ...     “Now why would someone would want to sell me a cash-flowing property in the first place?    Why would someone - like a turnkey provider - why would they sell me a good thing that pays them every month that they could continue to hold onto for cash flow?   If a property pays someone every month while they hold onto it - why in the heck would they sell it to me?   OK, some seller out there has a golden goose that lays a golden egg every month, so why in the world would they give me an opportunity to buy the goose?   Well, there are just so many reasons for selling cash-flowing property - yes, a ton of reasons for selling even a young, healthy goose that lays golden eggs every month & is expected to so for years.   Well, a turnkey provider runs out of money too. They can't buy all the properties themselves.    They'd prefer a lump sum payout when they sell this property, because their business model is to go pay all cash for another distressed property that they can fix up.   And if you think that they snatched up the good ones themselves a while ago - yeah, they probably did do some of that.   In fact - I WANT them to have snatched up some good properties from their own market earlier. It shows me that they believe in what they sell. If they didn't buy what they were selling themselves, I'd actually be MORE concerned.   Now, other reasons that the - I guess general public seller might want to sell you a property is ...   One reason is moving. Say that a family in City A owns a few mom-and-pop rental homes that they self-manage and they're moving to City B in another state, they'll often sell their income properties.   Some people want to self-manage their property (often because they never explored their best-and-highest use, but anyway) & if they have to move to City B, they'll sell the property rather than try to find a Property Manager in City A.    Another reason people sell cash-flowing property is that - even if someone is not moving, that person might be tired of the self-management hassle - but yet they don't try professional management - because that person has the DIYer mentality - that soooo common do-it-yourself mindset.   OK, most people just don't take a strategic approach to real estate investing like you are by listening to this.   Other reasons for people selling cash-flowing property are death, marriage, divorce, and all kinds of either joyous or tragic life milestones.   If a husband-and-wife own rental properties but running & managing them was kind of the husband's thing & the husband dies … the wife doesn't know how to run the properties & she's likely to sell rather than hire a Property Manager.   People may sell their cash-flowing property in case of all kinds of emergencies - medical and otherwise - because they may need a quick lump of cash - instead of the steady stream of cash flow over time that just won't work for them in their new situation.   OK, most of those situations involve some sort of external life change for property sellers - a lot of them tragic.   Well - here's a personal one for you...    A few years ago, I sold two cash-flowing apartment buildings at the same time - well, those sales actually closed on consecutive days - so nearly the same time.   Both of those cash-flowing apartment buildings that I sold were 100% occupied with tenants, I had competent management in place, and there were no deferred maintenance issues with the buildings.   You want to know my reason for selling two nice golden apartment gooses that were seasoned and steadily laying some nice golden eggs?   OK...can you guess why?   Alright, fortunately I didn't have any distress or emergency in my life.   ...oh, and also, I wanted to sell them fast too, I couldn't let these two cash-flowing apartment buildings linger on the market for a while. I really wanted to get rid of them.   I had no distress like those situations I mentioned earlier.   So can you guess why I wanted to sell these long-producing golden gooses in a good job growth market that produced nice cash flow, nice golden eggs?   I'll tell you why.   That's because I knew I could 1031 Exchange those two gooses for two even larger gooses. Now I won't get into the 1031 here on a beginner episode.    But I replaced the two smaller apartment buildings with two larger apartment buildings that would produce even larger eggs if I did it with a quick timeline - and I could defer any tax on my profitable gain.    I found - I guess - two very fertile egg producers that were going to produce even more cash flow over time.   So...I think you get the message here. To the buyers of my smaller apartment buildings, I appeared as a very motivated seller of cash-flowing property, even though I had no external stress in my life.    It was due to internal reasons that I wanted to sell...and it's the internal drive to expand my income.    No shrinking thinking here at Get Rich Education. We are growing our means.   Now, when you've found a cash-flowing property that you want to buy, should you make a lowball offer to a turnkey provider? My definition of lowball here, is, a 10% discount.    We'll say, that a provider is offering a property for $120,000 - then you'd make the offer for 10% less, which is $108,000. That's a lowball.   My answer is ...    No. That's not going to work. In almost every instance, that's too much of a discount and it's going to eat their margin too much.    Depending on how it's presented, a seller might even be less motivated to work with you if they get a lowball offer.    This company has a business to run and with a turnkey property, you're typically paying for the convenience. You leveraged their systems of them delivering this product to you that's already renovated, rehabilitated, tenanted, and under management.    Now, can you can knock off $1K-$2K? And say, offer the seller then - $118K or $119K for the $120,000 property. Yeah, that might work.    It sure wouldn't be deemed some unreasonable request. But it's good to at least provide a reason - some rationale - in asking for the discount.   Let me give you some perspective on this negotiation too.    For every $1,000 less in a mortgage loan that you take out, how much do you think that saves you in a monthly payment? Did you ever figure out how much that saves you?   Well, at a 5% interest rate on a 30-year loan, reducing your mortgage loan amount by $1,000 saves you … $5. Five bucks in a reduced payment.   For more perspective, keep in mind too, that once the seller accepts your offer - it's only the first part of the negotiation.   Later, it's a negotiation with the inspection. We'll discuss how to navigate THAT shortly.   I'm Keith Weinhold. You're listening to the Audio Beginner's Guide to Real Estate Investing, here on Get Rich Education. ________________ ***AD RESOURCES***    ________________ Welcome back to GRE Podcast 433. This is your Audio Beginner's Guide to Real Estate Investing. I'm your host, Keith Weinhold and we're talking about buying an income-producing property, especially…   …a TURNKEY property - which just means that it's already renovated, tenanted, and under management with a tenant on the day that you buy it.    Now, once your offer is accepted by the seller, I want to give you - really just a brief outline of what to expect next.    This isn't intended to give you every step in exhaustive detail, but this is generally what comes next for United States real estate purchases, and custom varies somewhat from state-to-state.   So with that in mind, once the turnkey provider or seller accepts your purchase offer...   You need to send in your earnest money. Earnest money is not the down payment. It's a smaller amount that shows good faith that you're serious about your offer.    It's often an amount of $5,000 or less and it shows the seller that you're serious enough about buying the property that the seller has the confidence to take their property OFF the market and not show it to anyone else.   The seller should give you instructions on how to place your Earnest Money.    Now remember, your earnest money deposit is not going directly TO the seller, it is going to a third-party escrow account, and it is refundable to you in accordance with the terms of the contract that you signed.   Your contract should have an estimated closing date in there. I want to emphasize that the key word there is “estimated”.    While it is important that all parties work towards closing by this date, between you and me - let's just be realistic - the reality is that many transactions get delayed beyond the closing date in the contract for a variety of reasons on the seller side, sometimes having to do with construction or renovation delays.    If this happens, it is nothing to be worried about, just remain in touch with the seller and you can simply sign a contract extension if needed when the time comes.   As you are financing your property, be sure to keep getting your lender anything that they ask you for up so that they can keep processing your loan.    As your closing gets near, they will probably ask you for some updated information and have some final stipulations from the underwriter, so just remain in close touch with your lender and try to provide them what they need as swiftly as you can.   During most of this time where you're under contract & even before you're in-contract to buy the property, most of your relationship with your lender and seller is just sitting around, waiting for the next stage.    Some days, frankly you're thinking, “When will they reply to my e-mail?” OK, sometimes, RE moves slower than glaciers.   Once construction/renovation is completed on your property, I suggest that you order a professional third-party home inspection before closing.    As the buyer, this is at your expense, but the home inspection is cheap insurance for you and it is an important part of your due diligence. It might cost you about $300-$500 for a single-family turnkey income property.   A four-plex inspection might cost up toward $800 or $1,000.   When seeking an inspector - seek ASHI certification - that is American Society of Home Inspectors.   You're looking for an inspector with a good reputation, licensed and bonded. It is good to look for a level of experience as well. The choice is really yours as the Buyer.   Your inspector points out deficiencies in what I'll break into a few categories.    #1 is Major concerns – these are significantly defective, safety issues that require immediate repair. Often times, those things absolutely MUST be done in order for your lender to even finance the property so the seller is going to do those things for you. That might be something like adding a railing to a porch.   The second category are recommended repairs – So they're recommended but not required. That might be adding some extra insulation in the attic.    The third category is “well, it would be NICE if it were done” - like a kitchen cabinet door that's a little loose and doesn't close snugly.   When you get your home inspection report back because the inspector has compiled their findings, the key to remember is that the inspector will ALWAYS return a (usually long) list of items that they recommend be corrected prior to closing.    Now, this even happens on new construction, so expect some findings.   I swear, even on a perfect, unblemished home it seems like the inspector would say that the bushes have to be trimmed or something. Ha!   And remember, you are not closing on the property in the condition it was inspected. Rather, the inspection is just part of the process on the path to getting the property up to its final condition.    Then you and the seller agree on what will be fixed (at the SELLER'S expense (not your expense), and verified to your satisfaction), prior to closing.    The seller is anticipating that they will need to make some final repairs (at their own expense) after they get the inspection repair request from you - that your inspector just compiled for you. This is all part of the normal process.   Of course, you can get in a car or hop on a plane and visit the turnkey property yourself and walk the property with your inspector, but I'd say fewer than 10% of turnkey buyers do this. I have never done this on an out-of-state property.   But going to see the property in person is never a BAD idea.   Today, it's easier than ever for an inspector or provider to e-mail you a property video. The report that you get from your Home Inspector after he visited the home will have lots of photos and details.   Typically, purchase offers are contingent on a home inspection of the property to check for signs of structural damage or things that may need fixing.  This contingency protects you by giving you a chance to renegotiate your offer or withdraw it without penalty if the inspection reveals significant material damage. You are protected. Once the seller makes any needed repairs that the third-party inspector found, I suggest having a re-inspection done by that same inspector. This gives you the chance to confirm that any agreed-upon repairs have indeed been made. You might spend another $100+ on this re-inspection. Now, if the original inspection showed that a leaky faucet needed to be replaced, and the seller said they'd do it, and the re-inspection finds that that work wasn't done as promised, then any FURTHER re-inspection costs are often a cost borne by the seller. Which seems pretty fair - they said they'd do work - and the re-inspection that you paid for confirmed that it hadn't been done in this case. Now, back to the negotiation. If you asked for a reduced Purchase Price, that could lean away from you asking for too much in the inspection.   How do I like to play it? Often times, I make a full price offer for the property - and I might even let the seller know at that time that I'd like to give you your price - it's a full $120,000 in this case - and since you got your price, I'd like my terms.   My terms are - that I'm more bold in what I request the seller to do from the inspection findings.  Maybe I will ask them to add that extra insulation in the attic as one of those “Recommended buy not Required For Financing” items - or replace a window pane that had condensation inside it.   Then, what's my justification for asking the seller for that. It's that I'm paying your full price. Again, financing an extra $1,000 only costs me $5 per month.   Now, let's talk about the property appraisal.    The appraisal is a tool that the bank uses to verify the quality of their collateral.    Because in your loan paperwork, at closing, the bank will basically tell you that if you don't make your monthly payments, you'll be foreclosed upon and the bank will take back the property - that's their collateral.   So they want to make sure that the property seems to be worth as much or more than you're in contract for - this $120,000 in our example.   Your lender is the one that orders the property appraisal, not you. In about 90% of U.S. states, you as the buyer pay for the appraisal. It costs about $500.    The appraiser is a member of a third-party company and is not directly associated with the lender. It wasn't always that way.    In fact, one factor that led to the housing downturn of 2007 in the Great Recession is that some lenders & appraisers were “in cahoots”. Haha! That can't happen anymore.    BTW, the appraisal and some of these other steps are all part of your closing costs. All part of that … about 4% of the property purchase price.   The appraisal is typically done by a certified appraiser physically visiting the home - and these people always seemingly have a tape measure with them.   The appraiser checks out the premises and their job is to use market comparables to make sure that the lender has adequate collateral in case you, the borrower, default.   OK, the bank doesn't want to lend out more than the property is worth or else they could find themselves underwater if the borrower defaults. The appraisal protects against this.   And don't confuse this appraisal with an assessment. An assessment is something that a county or municipality uses the measure the amount of property taxes that are paid. It's really unrelated to this appraisal.   One interesting thing that's related to the appraisal and the bank giving you the loan for 80% of the property is that the lender NEVER requires that you see the property in person.   Think about what that means. The bank never requires you to see the property in-person, yet they're willing to loan you up to 80% of the value.   Even the bank knows that it's not important for you to personally see the property - something that they're willing to put their money behind.   Now, when it comes to finding properties and markets and teams, our listeners & followers encouraged us to set up a marketplace for them for finding the properties.   We've done that for you at GREmarketplace.com. And knowing that Property Management is the glue that makes your property stick together, we - and it's Aundrea here at GRE that does it - where you find your properties at GRE Marketplace, Aundrea also interviews the property manage in each market for you so that you can get a good feel and vibe about them.   Most any provider is happy to do a PM Zoom chat or phone call with you too.   Now, just because a property is branded “turnkey” by a company, doesn't mean that you can dismiss doing your due diligence. Turnkey can be a great system, but there's nothing magical about that word alone.   Don't overlook developing a good feeling about your Property Manager, because this is the one long-term relationship that you expect to have. I just can't emphasize that enough. Your Manager is one of your key team members.   They'll tell you the character of the current tenant that's currently in the home. Find out how the manager is going to pay you. Feel them out, know what your communication flow is going to be like.    If they're part of the same turnkey company, a good manager should also connect you with whoever renovated your turnkey property in case you have some questions for them.   Now, notice that I haven't mentioned a real estate agent. Most turnkey providers work in a direct model so that you don't have to go through agents. That's one way that GRE Marketplace providers keep the price down for you.   You must sign a written Management Agreement with your Property Manager.    What the MA does is that it gives the manager the authority to manage your property for you, manage tenant relations for you, the MA will state their fees, and you'll have your contact information in that agreement.   There are typically two fees - a leasing fee and a management fee.   A leasing fee is where you'll spend ½ month's rent to one month's rent amount when the Manager screens a new tenant. So hopefully that only happens every 1 or 2 or even 5 years if you're lucky.    Yes, you can typically approve or reject their selected prospective tenant. You are going to be the owner of the property afterall.   A management fee is often 8-10% of one month's rent income - and that's what you pay monthly - ongoing.   You can sign a Management Agreement with the property provider if they have management integrated in-house. If not, you can lean on your provider for some management recommendations.   Now, there's one blank to fill in on your Management Agreement - it's a dollar amount up to which the manager can pay for expenses that come up - against your account - without contacting you.    For example, if the number $500 is written in there, that means that if a maintenance or repair expense on your property exceeds $500, they must contact you prior to incurring that expense.   You get to choose that dollar limit. As a beginning real estate investor, go with a lower figure.    Then as you get comfortable or you don't want to be bothered about the property as much, you can increase that dollar limit in which they need to contract you about approving maintenance or repairs.   Basically, if there's something that has to do with the property & you don't want to deal with it, then make sure it's written in the Management Agreement that the manager will perform it.   Typically, it's going to say that the manager will collect rent, handle tenant relations, respond to repair requests, send you the rent, keep your ledger of income & expenses on the property, post legal notices if a tenant is paying the rent late, and sooo many other associated duties that I personally don't want to deal with.    Hey, I just want to live my life & keep this investment nearly passive.   Get that Management Agreement done - fully executed - signed by both you & the Manager BEFORE you close on the property.    Before you close, you can buy property insurance from any provider you choose.    Your turnkey provider is often happy to recommend some providers that their other clients have used in this market, or you can just Google and find your own.    Be sure to let the insurance provider know that this is a rental property (not a primary residence where you live and not a second home).    Most turnkey buyers purchase both hazard and liability insurance as part of their policy. Like any other insurance policy, you will have choices about deductibles & monthly payments, and coverage amounts.    If you are financing your property, your lender will most likely be able to combine your property taxes and insurance into your monthly payment, so you have one monthly payment for principal, interest, taxes and insurance (PITI) … much like you would on your primary residence.   The financing process typically takes about 30 days from the time you submit your EM.    Remember that YOU are a factor in how fast your property closes. If that lender needs another document, give it to them pretty promptly.   When you've finalized your due diligence, and verified that the seller has made all the agreed upon repairs from the home inspection report, you will be ready to close.    You likely live in a different state than the property and will close remotely. The title company (or its a closing attorney in some states) will prepare your closing documents - including your loan docs...    ...and can arrange for a mobile notary to meet you with the docs wherever you choose (your home, your office, your local coffee shop, etc.) so you can sign the docs in front of a notary who will then overnight the docs back to the Title Company so the transaction can fund.   Yep, you can do the ink-and-paper thing with a mobile notary at your local Starbucks.   Your lender will arrange for a title company to handle all of the paperwork and make sure that the seller is the rightful owner of the house that you are buying. That's part of what they do for you.   It may seem like the closing process is a lot of work, but you'll really spend most of the time waiting. Most of the time, you'll just be sitting on your hands, waiting for someone else involved in the transaction to come through.    So find something enjoyable to occupy your time and distract you while you wait, and feel secure in the knowledge that you've done your research and know how to make your closing process go smoothly.   When you complete that closing with the mobile notary - I've done these closings at my home's dining room table, or even in my employer's conference room back when I used to have a day job - then, hey!    You need to congratulate yourself on adding another income property to your portfolio.   You know, the good news is that of all of these stages we've discussed - the longest stage of them all is your ownership of the property. You Own & Collect the cash flow.   And hey, this isn't reason enough alone - but it's kinda cool that you own property in TN and FL and IN.  You own part of each one of those states. You're like a property collector!   And with each new turnkey property you buy, you might have just increased your mostly passive cash flow by $211 per month or $118 per month or whatever it is.   If you can swing it, it can be more efficient timewise for you to buy more than one property at a time.   As you buy more income properties, it not only gets easier because you know the process, but you often get quantity discounts.   For example, a management company might charge you a 9% management fee on your first three properties, but once you own four or more, they might charge you 8% on all four rather than 9%.   Insurance companies often have similar discounts for you….so you may very well get a little more profitable as you buy more property.   I've been actively investing in real estate since 2002 and just within the steps of ACQUIRING a property, like I carefully discussed today, some incremental half-step will come up in the process that I haven't mentioned here - like signing a Lead Paint Disclosure Form.   So, you don't need to commit all of this stuff to memory.   Now, something that novice real estate investors say sometimes is something like: “I would only buy an income property that I would live in myself.”    I contend that that is an awful criterion upon which to found strategic fundamentals on purchasing an income property.   Once one filters property that way, they have let their emotions trump facts.    If the fact that a clean, safe, affordable, and functional property has a good occupancy rate in a sound employment market, decent ENOUGH neighborhood, and the numbers make sense - that's more important.   OK, you aren't living there yourself so it's not a sound criterion.   Shoot, if I moved into any income property that I own, my lifestyle would take a substantial hit. Yet I'm not a slumlord - I provide housing that's clean, safe, affordable and functional.   But they're not replete with fantastic amenities, it does not have Corinthian architecture with alabaster columns - OK - but I know there's a demographic for my rental property type that demands this responsible-but-no-frills housing over time.   It's about asking yourself a better question, like, “Will this property secure an income stream?”    Alright, would you rather have your property look “cute as a button” - or secure an income stream? I went deep on that topic just three weeks ago here on the show.   OK, we're investors here.   Some think that in today's electronic age, you should be able to complete a property purchase from the time you write an offer until you close on a property in the same-day.    Well, that's certainly not true. As you witnessed, physical things need to take place because you're buying a real, physical asset.   We've been talking today about how you buy an income property - just simply that - especially as it pertains to buying an out-of-state turnkey income property - from the time that you get a property under contract and submit the earnest money to escrow all the way to closing.   ...because that's how to generate passive income, which in turn, creates a rich life for you.   Again, this isn't an all-encompassing guide today with EVERY little detail. But we've hit the major milestones in the process & more.   You've got a good general guide on the income property-buying structure.    You might have learned something about prioritization - perhaps LLCs matter less than you thought and a communicative Property Manager matters more than you thought.   Today's show has the type of content that will be about as relevant 5 years from now as it does today.    Now, today is also evidence that real estate does not have the liquidity that some other investments do. It takes longer to get in & get out.   However, that low liquidity actually contributes to relative price stability in real estate. OK, there's no panic selling in real estate.   Maybe the most important thing for you to keep in mind is that...   You cannot make any money from the property that you don't own.   Your future depends on what you do today.   To “know” something and not “do” something is to really not know something.   The most important thing you can do is act...because you cannot make any money from the property that you don't own.   But if you're new to real estate investing & know that you need to “Start small but think big”, otherwise, all this knowledge really won't move the meter in helping you live an amazing life like RE can, in the past 1-2 years, we hired an in-house coach, who is completely free for you to use.   If you're still a little unsure or want some guidance, lean on our trusted source, Naresh at GREmarketplace.com/Coach   He is an expert at helping you along - totally free to you - again at GetRichEducation.com/Coach   It's almost hard to express how much value this gives you & makes it easy.

One of the most common questions I hear is actually one of the hardest to answer: "how do I know if a property is good to invest in?"   Still, when looking at a potential property, it's safe to say that the number one question you should be asking is this:  Will this property create the type of cash flow (now or in the future) that will help me reach my financial goals? Today's episode will help you narrow your financial goals and teach you how to apply the 1% rule as you navigate through making a wise investment decision.  The 1% RULE can be realized when the rental income per month is > 1% of the Property's Purchase Price. Does your potential property investment pass the 1% rule?
