## Deal Decision Framework

After underwriting, choose the exit strategy:

| Exit | When to Use | Target Profit |
|------|-------------|---------------|
| **Wholesale** | Need quick capital, rehab too heavy, or good margin for assign | $5,000–$20,000 fee |
| **Fix & Flip** | ARV margin supports rehab + profit, capital available | 15–25%+ ROI |
| **Buy & Hold** | Strong rental demand, positive cash flow, long-term wealth | 8–12%+ cash-on-cash |

---

## Contract Types

### 1. Purchase and Sale Agreement (PSA)

Used to put a property under contract. Key terms:

- **Purchase Price** — negotiated all-cash price
- **Earnest Money Deposit (EMD)** — typically $500–$2,000 (protects deal)
- **Inspection Period** — 10–21 days for due diligence
- **Closing Date** — 14–30 days from contract
- **As-Is clause** — buyer accepts property in present condition
- **Assignment clause** — "Buyer may assign this contract"

### 2. Assignment of Contract

Used to assign the Purchase & Sale Agreement to an end buyer (wholesale).

Key terms:
- **Assignor:** ProActive Investments
- **Assignee:** End buyer (investor)
- **Assignment Fee:** Amount being charged for the assignment
- **Original Purchase Price** as stated in PSA
- **Closing date remains the same** as original contract
- **Assignee assumes all rights and obligations** of original buyer

### 3. Land Trust Structure

ProActive Investments uses land trusts for:
- Privacy (keeps owner name off public records)
- Asset protection
- Easier transfer of beneficial interest

**Land Trust Components:**
- **Trustee** — holds legal title (typically a trusted third party or LLC)
- **Beneficiary** — Quinn / ProActive Investments (holds beneficial interest)
- **Trust Agreement** — documents the arrangement
- **Deed into Trust** — transfers title from seller to trustee

**When to use land trust:**
- Properties being held as rentals
- Any property where privacy or liability protection is desired

## Offer Strategy

### Initial Offer Calculation

```
Step 1: Confirm ARV from recent comps (last 6 months, within 1 mile)
Step 2: Estimate repairs (pull in $elon-operations for detailed SOW)
Step 3: Apply formula:
  - Wholesale: (ARV × 70%) − Repairs − $[Fee] = Max Offer
  - Fix & Flip: (ARV × 75–80%) − Repairs = Max Offer
  - Buy & Hold: Price that yields 8%+ cash-on-cash

Step 4: Start offer 10–15% below max offer (negotiating room)
Step 5: Have final max offer ready — do not exceed it
```

### Offer Communication (phone)

```
"Mr./Ms. [Name], based on the condition of the property and what similar
homes are selling for in your area, I can offer you $[amount] cash,
as-is, with a closing in [14-21] days.

We'll handle all the paperwork and closing costs. You won't need to
do any repairs or clean anything out.

Does that work for your situation?"
```

## Due Diligence Checklist

After getting a property under contract:

- [ ] **Title search** — confirm clean title, no hidden liens
- [ ] **Property inspection** — confirm repair estimates, no surprises
- [ ] **Comparable sales review** — confirm ARV is solid
- [ ] **Zoning/permit check** — any open permits? Correct zoning?
- [ ] **Flood zone check** — is it in a flood zone? Insurance cost?
- [ ] **HOA check** — any HOA? Fees? Violations?
- [ ] **Tax status** — are taxes current or back taxes owed?
- [ ] **Utility status** — are utilities on or will reinstatement be needed?
