What to expect:

1. RELX does not make monthly payments back to you the investor. As the investor you will receive a lump sum payment of 50% of the net profits at the closing on the sale of the property after it has been rehabbed. You will receive copies of all real estate document throughout the entire flip,  process, including copies prior to the first closing on the necessary home owners policy and associated fees. You will receive a copy of a professional appraisal of the estimated value once the house is renovated prior to the first closing. Typically, I will low ball a property that I know through research is undervalued compared to other homes in the neighborhood. I will include, on that purchase agreement, a written time frame of two (2) weeks to allow for contingencies to be removed. Once the inspections have been completed on the home prior to purchase, I will provide written estimates on all repairs that I will need to make. These costs are determined during the two week period after I write an offer on a property. I always obtain estimates of the material costs prior to close, as well as who I have hired for the remodel jobs. I am thorough. You will receive an itemized list of labor estimates and material costs that I have personally selected myself at Lowe s, Home Depot or Menard s. The exact amount needed to rehab a house is determined prior to closing. All figures are forwarded to you prior to closing.

2. All decisions with respect to the management of the project and the rehabilitation of a residence will be made exclusively by Lori DeBartolo. There is no guarantee that these decisions will always be correct.

3. As an investor, RELX offers the luxury of giving the investor the opportunity personally converse with Lori DeBartolo during business hours of 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., Monday thru Friday, Eastern Standard Time.

4. Settlement statements at the first closing and the resale closing, can be faxed to you. If necessary a power of attorney can be prepared, if you are unable to attend the closings.

5. Certified funds are required to be provided to the closing title company no less than 24 hours prior to the initial closing on the property. The check is to be made payable to: RealEstateListingXchange.com and include the name of the property and its address of the investment on the certified funds.

6. RELX has retained an attorney to draw up the legal contract prior to the writing of an offer on a particular property. This is to ensure you are the sole investor for a particular property. You also have the right to determine what property you choose to invest in. I can mail, fax, or e-mail information on a property I have previewed that I believe is worth the investment of my time and your funds.

7. We are projecting an average return of 19% on your investment. I project that from the first closing through the remodeling process, the relisting, and re-sale of the refurbished property to take an average of one year. According to the contract you sign, we will reimburse you the full amount of your investment within two years from closing the property has not re-sold from the date of the first closing. RELX will still give, according to contract, 50% of the net profits once the property does re-sell. That is the worse case situation of a slow turn around time. The average time line is one year from beginning at closing to the eventual sale.

8. The investor will be provided a written comprehensive breakdown of the costs of rehabilitation.

9. Each prospective investor is urged to consult with his or her professional tax advisor with respect to the tax consequences of an investment in this venture.

10. Each prospective investor is urged to consult with his or her attorney with respect to the legal consequences of an investment in this venture.

11. Please contact Lori DeBartolo on any interest you may have in regards to investing in a fixer upper property. The rehab costs are usually approximately $60,000.00. The norm to refurbishing a distressed property is $20,000.00 or less. Both amounts must be submitted with certified funds within 24 hours prior to closing on the property. The earnest money amount in general for a property is $1000.00, and is credited at closing. All the contingencies, the safety net created to have all my questions and concerns answered will take place during the first two weeks I make an offer, then removed. If I am not satisfied with the condition or estimates, I withdraw the offer, and the earnest money is returned to you the investor.
