Door-Knocked Pre-Foreclosure → 5 New Apartments
Found this one by door-knocking pre-foreclosures. Helped the homeowner avoid losing everything to a hard money lender, gave her a fresh start with prepaid rent, and turned her into an investor earning passive income on the new development.
Door-Knocked a Pre-Foreclosure
I found this property by door-knocking pre-foreclosures in Mid-City. The homeowner was being foreclosed on by a hard money lender. She had lost her husband, mother, and sister in the same month and fell behind on payments. She was in her darkest hour and about to lose the house.
Most investors would have walked away from the complexity. I saw an opportunity to help her and create value at the same time.
How I Structured It
Step 1: Stopped the Foreclosure
I paid off the hard money lender to stop the foreclosure. This gave her breathing room and saved her credit from complete destruction.
Step 2: Found Her a New Place
I found her a new place to live and prepaid a full year of rent. She needed stability, not more stress.
Step 3: Made Her an Investor
Instead of taking all her equity, I asked her to carry back the remainder so she could become an investor in the development. Now she earns passive income instead of losing everything.
Step 4: Tore Down & Rebuilt
I tore down the existing building and I'm rebuilding 5 new apartments. Scheduled completion: Summer 2026.
What Happened to Her
We saved a homeowner from losing her house to foreclosure during her darkest hour. She's not only out of the woods—she's back on her feet and earning residual income as an investor in my developments.
My goal is to get her credit repaired and build back up her liquidity so she can once again get into homeownership that she can afford.
For Her
- ✓Avoided foreclosure
- ✓Year of rent prepaid
- ✓Became an investor earning passive income
- ✓Path to homeownership again
For Me
- ✓Acquired property off-market
- ✓Creative financing with seller carryback
- ✓5 units in prime Mid-City location
- ✓Strong cash flow + equity upside
The Model
This is how I operate. I find distressed situations where traditional buyers can't or won't help. I structure creative deals that solve the seller's problem while creating value for me and my partners.
Most people see a pre-foreclosure and think "complicated." I see an opportunity to help someone and build wealth at the same time. That's the difference.
What I Look For:
Motivated Sellers
Pre-foreclosure, probate, divorce, can't afford repairs, need to move fast
Value-Add Opportunity
Can add units, renovate, reposition, or develop to create equity
Creative Financing
Seller carryback, SubTo, JV partnerships—whatever makes the deal work
Strong Fundamentals
Good location, rental demand, path to cash flow and appreciation
THE TRANSFORMATION
From pre-foreclosure distress to 5 new apartments in prime Mid-City LA
5 new apartments scheduled for completion Summer 2026. Modern design in one of LA's hottest neighborhoods.
