Let me introduce myself….

My parents “Dragged” me down to Charlotte County, (Punta Gorda/Port Charlotte area) Fighting & Screaming, my Last Year of High School, from Michigan.  Major adjustment!!!!!! Back then the only entertainment we teenagers had was the Drive-In Movie and Englewood Beach.  Once the my New Classmates invited me to “THE BEACH”. I fell in love with area.    Everything changed with my attitude    Back then there weren’t many opportunities in SW Florida so I returned to Michigan and started my career with Ford Motor Company.   After a few years, I wanted to return to the South.  My only option, in order to stay with Ford was in Atlanta so I took it. I was hoping that I would drive down every couple of months to WARM & SUNNY Florida to visit my parents but that didn’t happen and I left Ford to continue my Journey in Life.

I’ve lived in Arizona, Southern California, & Florida to name just a few….  I lived and worked in the Cayman Islands, British West Indies. Here is where I developed my expertise in Real Estate. I used to have to qualify clients by the type of jewelry they were wearing.   I can honestly say that I have sold Real Estate all over the world!  It was in 2003, I obtained my Florida Real Estate License and went to work for Coldwell Banker, in Naples Florida.  Since then I have been involved in dozens of multi-million dollar commercial residential and raw land transactions. 

Now I have come full circle back to the area that I fell in love with.  I welcome you, to our “LIL” part of  PARADISE!!!! and  I look forward to working with you and helping you to fall in love with this part of the world!

Background

Historically, the foreclosure marketplace was focused on distressed homeowners with equity.  Nationwide, homeowner equity has evaporated and equity must be created through bank negotiations.   The short-sale phenomenon offers a unique opportunity to capture a property for months while negotiations take place and months to determine true market value.   In the case of a short sale flip, we are able to use the time during a short sale negotiation to find and secure an end user and exit strategy.  The goal today is to find the weakest of the lenders and harvest a portion of the equity.

Overview

2004 Launched LeaseOptionProgram.com.   LOPcom was initially focused on homeowners with equity but no means of refinance.  Clients were matched with investors who would purchase the home and lease back to the clients for a year. To qualify, a homeowner would have to have at least 30% equity.  If the home was not repurchased by the client, the equity was then harvested when the home was sold.  Dozens of transactions took place leading up to the peak of the market in 2006.  As the credit markets tightened, purchases were subsequently made using the subject-to transactions that transferred the deed while reinstating existing mortgages.   These types of transactions minimized capital and risks and maximized returns.   Since 2008 we have been entirely focused on short sale transactions.  We now create the equity by negotiating with the lenders.   The short sale transactions are either quick flips (in and out within 30 days) or leasebacks with a 1 year return.  Because of our stringent threshold criteria, less than 10% of our short sale transactions will qualify for Disciplined Capital.

Longer term short sale and lease back offer solutions for homeowners that loan modifications cannot meet.  Homeowners who purchased homes in 2005, 06, or 07 are very upside down and the only option for them is a short-sale and lease-back.   We can purchase these properties for as little as 30% of the note value and lease it back to the client with the ability to buy it back at a 50% premium to today’s short sale purchase price.  This is a Win-Win for all parties.

We are currently negotiating over 300 short sales.
