Investor Information:
Generally, real estate investors fall into two categories – active or passive
investors. Active investors are usually defined as investors that are involved
in the day to day management, decisions and operations of their real estate investments
while passive investors will normally invest in real estate and delegate the day
to day management, decisions, and operations of their real estate investments
to an experienced real estate investment professional that will act in a fiduciary
capacity for the investor.
One of the advantages for investors in doing business with Jupiter Realty Investments,
LLC (JRI) is the use of a discounted real estate brokerage fee structure when
selling any residential assets through Joe Bettag, a Broker Associate with Coastal
Properties of Jupiter. By law, all brokerage fees are negotiable, but it is typical
to have 5% to 7% brokerage fees involved with the sale in the Palm Beach area
with the selling broker receiving 50% of the total commission and the listing
broker receiving 50% of the total commission. Because of the relationship with
JRI, the investors are charged a flat fee of $4000 on the listing side of the
brokerage fees. For a $400,000 property, this is a savings of $8000 to the investor
if a 6% brokerage fee was charged with 3% being paid to the listing broker.
Services offered for Active Investors:
- Commercial or residential real estate investment research, recommendation, contract/transaction
negotiation, and asset management by the Managing Member, Joe Bettag, a Florida
Real Estate Broker/Associate with Coastal Properties.
- Real estate financing through Joe Bettag, a Florida Mortgage Broker. By leveraging
real estate through financing, the rate of return on investment (ROI) can be substantially
increased compared to paying all cash for real estate. Some of the financing programs
available can offer up to 100% financing and interest only financing for qualified
buyers.
- 1031 Exchange Program – defer capital gains tax by selling one property and reinvesting
the proceeds into a second property.
- Self Directed IRA Program – for investors dissatisfied with their investments
in stocks, bonds, or money markets in their current 401K’s, IRA’s, or SEP’s (Simplified
Employee Pension), this retirement money can be legally converted into a self
directed IRA that invests in real estate. This program offers investors a complete
start to finish process with the Jupiter Realty Investment Team handling all of
the paperwork, money transfers, legal advice, and even the creation of a customized
limited liability company that creates substantial benefits. Investors also have
the ability to leverage their real estate investments by a little known financing
package customized for the IRA.
Services offered for Passive Investors:
- The passive investors doing business with Jupiter Realty Investments will have
first priority for future opportunities and offerings as they are identified.
One of the opportunities identified involves the purchase of residential real
estate loan portfolios that are in a pre-foreclosure status. Lenders will employ
a method known in the banking business called Loss Mitigation in order to cut
their losses earlier in the foreclosure process as the losses typically increase
with time as well as requiring additional reserves which ties up valuable capital
and earnings potential. The lenders will typically discount 20% to 40% from the
current asset value when selling the loans to third parties. The third parties
then either re-sell the loans to local investors for a profit or complete the
foreclosure process and take title and either sell at a wholesale profit rate
through an established investor network or sell at a retail profit rate by selling
to an owner occupant. Joe Bettag has over five years experience in the banking
real estate portfolio business as well as relationships with other real estate
brokers that are recognized nationally for their expertise in this niche. Additionally,
he has valuable contacts with various national and regional banking/mortgage decision
makers.
