Helping Hoarders Move On — Kristi Cirtwill Buys Houses that Few Investors Can Handle

By Bruce Kellogg

What is Hoarding?

The Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA) defines hoarding as “the compulsive purchasing, acquiring, searching, and saving of items that have little or no value. The behavior usually has harmful effects—emotional, physical, social, financial, and even legal—for the hoarder and their family members.”

Different types of hoarders include: 1) Shopaholics 2) Collectors 3) Hoarders of Books or Information 4) Larder Hoarding (hoarding of Food) 5) Animal Hoarding 6) Syllogomania (Hoarding of Trash/Garbage) 7) Recyclers Have you met any of these?

Introducing the Helper of Hoarders

hoarder-homes-final-logo
In Southern California, help for hoarders is offered by HoarderHomes.com which buys homes and is owned and operated by Kristi Cirtwill. She has been in business since 2006 in Southern California, and in Toronto, Canada prior to that. Her specialty is buying houses that need tender loving care. Kristi realized the need for this type of business when she saw people struggling to sell their homes in the traditional way because of the deferred maintenance and the needed repairs. Kristi can buy houses and close in one week, and it doesn’t matter how much work the house needs. She enjoys helping people, and she knows she can turn what would be a difficult situation into a very easy one for the seller. Hoarder Homes also donates to charity and recycles whenever possible.

Kristi Cirtwill small

Kristi is in this business because she discovered she “had a knack.” She’s not formally educated in real estate except for reading Rich Dad, Poor Dad, joining free clubs, and becoming a licensed real estate agent. She says, “Life can be hard. I choose to be happy.” Also, “I love making money, but I also like helping others.” This includes sponsoring people for citizenship through her company, she says.

Service Areas

Hoarder Homes serves much of Southern California, primarily Los Angeles County, secondly Orange County, then reaching out to Kern, Ventura, Riverside, San Bernardino, and San Diego counties.

Other Issues That Qualify

Besides hoarding, Hoarder Homes accepts homes with a variety of other issues. Here are some of them. 1) Building code violations 2) “red tagged” (“Stop Work” notice) 3) Facing foreclosure 4) Fire/water/mold damage 5) Divorce 6) Drug dealing 7) Squatters 8) Animal hoarding 9) Biohazard homes 10) Natural death on the premises

With all this variety, Kristi clearly knows not just the core but also the periphery of her craft.

Prospecting For Business

When she first arrived here in 2006, Kristi prospected for acquisitions through 2012 using the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) and wholesalers. Since then she uses these additional avenues. a) Business Network International groups (BNI) b) Referrals c) Facebook d) Instagram e) Linkedin f) Newsletters g) E-mail marketing
7325 Kyle St, Tujunga, CA 91042 MLS-40
She says, “I make an effort to stay in touch with everybody. When these properties become available, I can move fast!”

A Recent Change

With prices constantly rising since 2009, and the availability of houses shrinking all this time, Kristi has become more conservative. She says, “I want multiple exits now.” Smart lady!

Building Cash Flow – Safely

Image from Pixabay

By Mr. Land Trust

There are many articles in this blog about “building cash flow” using rental real estate. This is a goal every real estate investor should strive for because if you want to build wealth AND support yourself with your investments, you need POSITIVE cash flow! The interesting thing about building cash flow is that it becomes consistent and typically increases annually. It is similar to compound interest paid on savings accounts or reinvesting stock dividends. Unlike rehabbing, flipping, and contract assignments (which are just “jobs” like any other JOB), cash flow increases over time and allows you to be “free” of the insecurities that most people experience when employed by others. It is truly a wonderful thing!

dices-over-newspaper-2656028_1280

The big question regarding how to build consistent, reliable, and safe cash flow relates to risk. I have discovered after 50 years in the rental business that there are two primary ways to create positive cash flow. The first is through rentals held long term. I prefer single-family homes for many reasons but primarily because the management of these properties fits my personality. I typically have only 15-20 % turnover each year which saves me a lot of cash flow from turnover expenses. Low turnovers also allow me to “have a life” and not be saddled with constant management (Many years ago I controlled apartments on a college campus with 100% turnover every year. I quickly learned that I did NOT want to live that kind of lifestyle).
If you maintain a long-term goal of keeping your rentals “forever,” you will wake up one day and the loans will be paid off. Your cash flow will increase by 500% or more in one day and you will realize that all your hard work and sacrifice was worth it! In addition, over time, your rents will increase due to inflation (I remember punching numbers into my HP12C calculator in 1985 and telling my wife, “Honey, can you believe that our $400.00 per month rentals will be bringing in $1,000 per month in ten years?” We were both amazed!
Regarding the subject of risk, I believe your risk is low with the above scenario (especially if you self-manage your own property). A way your risk can be reduced even further is by distancing your name from your rentals and keeping it off the deeds in the courthouse. Privacy of ownership is the cornerstone of financial security. How do you do these things? I hope I have made that obvious: Use a separate Land Trust for each of your rentals and real estate-related assets.
money-1885540_1280

The second-best way to increase the cash flow is to “be the bank.” How do you think banks make so much money? They borrow from the Federal Reserve at a much lower rate of interest than what they charge their customers and profit from the spread. I like this model but the way the banks do it is too risky for me. If the borrower defaults, some type of foreclosure is required. Foreclosure is expensive, time-consuming, aggravating, and creates sleepless nights. I like sleeping. How do you “be the bank” and reduce the risk? Use a Land Trust! I like to buy houses and resell the Beneficial Interest in the Land Trust the same day on an installment contract. I buy at the best price I can negotiate, mark the price up to reflect my time, initial investment, and transaction costs, and sell to a user at 7% with a 25-year amortization and a five-year balloon. The number of Americans “out there” that would love to buy a house but need help getting into the market is tremendous. They cannot qualify for a loan now (and maybe never) because of a myriad of disqualifiers. I require at least 20% down and payments to me including principal, interest, and 1/12 the tax bill. They are required to buy their own insurance and make my trust the Additional Insured.
calculator-1680905_1280

The benefits to me are 1) Recovering my costs upfront through my markup 2) the security of $20,000 down (people will do everything possible to not lose that much money by defaulting on the contract) 3) 7% interest on my marked-up equity 4) 3.75% arbitrage (read, cash flow profit on the bank’s money) because I get a new first mortgage at 80% of the purchase price at 3.75%. My benefits are many, but you should always ask yourself when doing real estate deals, “where can this go wrong?” The answer is, “if the buyer defaults, you have to foreclose.” Foreclosure is a long legal battle that will cost you legal fees, lost cash flow, sleepless nights, and 6-12 months of making your mortgage payments without income. How can you avoid this risk? USE A LAND TRUST!

When I close on the purchase in the morning, I take the title directly from the seller into my Land Trust. Then, when I sell the Beneficial Interest on an installment contract later that same day . . . I sell the Beneficial Interest in the trust (which is personal property in a vast majority of states.) This is a private transaction that is not recorded and does not cause a “cloud on my title.” If the buyer defaults, I repossess the Beneficial Interest . . . I do NOT have to foreclose! Repossession takes about 30 days, and I can do it myself. If the buyer does not vacate voluntarily, I evict them under a month-to-month lease situation.
The Land Trust will serve you well in many ways. The methods described above are only two of many techniques to make money, create safe cash flow, and keep your name out of the public records using a Land Trust. Learn all you can about Land Trusts . . . they will make you tons of money!
I encourage you to learn more by going to my FREE online training at www.landtrustwebinar.com/411 and text the word “reasons” to 206-203-2005 for my free booklet, Reasons to Use a Land Trust. You can also reach me the old-fashioned way by calling me at 217-355-1281. (I actually answer my own phone, unlike most other businesses in America today!)
