Welcome back to the Property Profits Podcast! Today, I'm thrilled to walk you through the art of structuring 0% interest deals—a strategy that might not always hit it out of the park but consistently gets players on base. Let’s dive into a deal I recently structured to give you a real-world example.
I secured a contract on a small two-bedroom house for $95,000, valued at about $120,000. The house is in surprisingly good shape, promising potential appreciation. The key here is the 0% interest. Every month, the entirety of my $750 payment goes directly to the principal—a sharp contrast to typical high-interest scenarios.
Here’s the breakdown:
- Monthly Note: $750
- Rent Potential: $1,200
- Annual Taxes: $1,500 (benefiting from a senior citizen exemption)
- Insurance Estimate: $175 monthly
Although the cash flow might seem tight, the real benefit of this deal is the rapid principal reduction. Annually, $9,000 of my payments reduce the debt without the burden of interest—enhancing equity and future profitability.
I've chosen to bring a partner into this deal for an initial $10,000, covering minor rehab costs and ensuring we both benefit from this unique financing setup. This approach minimizes my out-of-pocket expenses and maximizes returns for both parties.
Remember, the beauty of real estate investing lies in creativity and flexibility. Deals like this are not about immediate cash flow but long-term wealth building through strategic debt reduction. I’m here to show you that with the right approach, even smaller, less flashy deals can contribute significantly to your investment goals.
