Let’s say that you are in the process of putting together a real estate deal, but all of your funding has not come through yet? Can you get capital extensions in writing for your property investment deals? When sellers write Real Estate deals, contracts often allow for deadline extensions, so that buyers can round up more investors. Rob explained the process of asking for capital extensions to one of his callers on one of his monthly Inner Circle Group Zoom Call.
How To Write Capital Extensions In Your Real Estate Investment Deals
On the call, our friend David remarked at how amazing it was that Rob and Claudia could do their due diligence in such a short span of time. Closing real estate deals is a very complex process, after all. He asked Rob to walk through the process from fundraising to close. What happens if the buyer can’t raise enough funds in time? Do sellers typically accept capital extensions in buyer contracts, and how many are the standard number that buyers can receive?
Rob explained that he asks for up to two free 30-day extensions when he begins the real estate buying process. This is a bold ask, but if you don’t ask, you’ll never know! He rarely gets it, but sometimes he can negotiate one free 30 day extension and an additional 15-day reprieve if needed.
Often with capital extensions, a penalty fee will apply. If you pay that fee, though, you have enough invested that the seller knows you are serious. You will raise the funds and deliver them in a timely fashion. In the unlikely event the deal falls through, as a general partner, your investors are safe from losses.
