Section 32 Working With Real Estate
Investors questions & answers.

Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980 (FIRPTA) ANS -The disposition of a U.S. real
property interest by a foreign person (the transferor) is subject to the Foreign Investment in Real
Property Tax Act of 1980 (FIRPTA) income tax withholding.

Ex. Because the seller was from Canada, FIRPTA applied, and the buyer of the property was required to
withhold a percentage of the sales price to ensure payment of taxes owed.



Investors can be categorized in two ways, by: ANS -Property type

Investment strategy



Property types include: ANS -Single-family homes

Multi-family residences

Apartments

Retail

Warehouse/storage

Other commercial

Vacant land



Investment strategies are the ways in which the investor profits on the investment. These include: ANS -
Fix and flip

Buy and hold (i.e., hold and rent)

Wholesaling



Fix and Flip ANS -This term is coined for properties that need a lot of rehab to make them appealing to
buyers. Real estate investors will buy the property, renovate it, and resell the property for a profit.

, buy and hold ANS -an investment strategy that involves simply buying stock and holding it for a period
of years



wholesalers ANS -Wholesalers arrange deals. They don't own properties, but rather make deals and
resell those deals to other investors for a fee. Their purchase and sale agreements typically include an
"or assigns" phrase, giving them the right to assign the property to another upon closing. Because
they're essentially middlemen, they need to find seriously discounted deals from very motivated sellers.
Wholesalers tend not to work with real estate professionals, but you'll know when you've met one. They
will ask you to search for "very motivated sellers" on the MLS, but otherwise will have few items on their
wish list in terms of type of property, location, etc., and they'll want you to send them the listings. A
problem can arise with wholesalers who don't in fact have an investor to whom to resell the property.
They may tie up the property, using the inspection period to try to find an investor to whom to
wholesale the property, and will terminate if they're unable to do so in time. This is unethical, not to
mention a big waste of your time. Know what you're getting into if you decide to work with a
wholesaler, and make certain your wholesaler client has a ready investor pool for the resale.
