Complete Acquisition Services

Identify your investment model

Many investors want to own rental property but haven't clearly identified their model, objective, or financial priorities and need help defining what type of property best fits their objectives. We've assisted small investors, equity funds, foreign clients, rehabbers, hands-off long term investors, syndications, and asset managers in this evaluation process. Our perspective has been shaped by hundreds of clients over the years and our goal is to help you think through your options. We'll listen to your ideas and help you identify the slice of the Atlanta market that will best fit your financial model.

Whether you're looking to buy $50,000 or $300,000 houses we can help with identifying the right location and acquisition strategy for your specific model. We can help identify where the best cash flow is, where the best appreciation will be, what parts of Atlanta will work for your model and where to locate the best inventory of those houses you feel will accomplish your unique investment strategy.

Identify sources of available inventory

Crown has the knowledge and experience to help identify how to locate the properties you're looking for. We have staff that know every part of Atlanta and can help locate the properties just right for your portfolio. 

Methods of making offers

Whether you're looking to buy at foreclosure auction, through the MLS service, from REO asset managers or directly from the seller we can help identify the best method of making offers.

Note: Occasionally investors have chosen traditional sales brokers to handle the acquisitions and just need someone to help with quality control, i.e., rental comps, areas of town to avoid, HOA leasing rules, etc. While a traditional real estate broker may be able to provide you with options that look good on paper, often times we find that many do not fully understand property management enough to know what looks good on paper may not always play out in real life. Remember, knowing what not to buy is just as important as knowing what to buy. If you're not careful all your precious cash flow may evaporate into reality and your sales broker may not be around to share in your stress. That is why you should partner with crown when investing in the Atlanta market.

Assist with contracts to closing

We have systems and staff trained at making offers, managing the due-diligence issues, getting rehab quotes, coordinating with legal counsel, and walking you through the actual closing process. We have a 20 year relationship with attorneys that specialize in representing investors in the buying of foreclosures, REO properties and normal MLS listings.

Note: Be careful letting your sales agent be your sole representative at a closing, especially when the closing attorney represents the seller.

Assist with Foreclosures

We can help you think through the research and monthly bidding process for buying houses at the courthouse steps. We've bought many at the foreclosure auction and can help identify the systems, staff and processes you need to put this purchasing strategy in place.

Assist with post foreclosure (Intake) process

Often you'll secure homes that have been vacant or have occupants (past owners or tenants) to deal with. We have the systems in place to deal with evictions, renter's claims, cash for keys, conversions to tenants and the litigation that often occurs when foreclosures are disputed by the owner.

Assist with post acquisition

Often there are issues to deal with after you secure a property that need local boots on the ground including such things as rekeying, trash out, securing utilities, termite bonds, pest control, punch-lists, yard maintenance, installing lock boxes, dealing with hostile Homeowner's Associations, past owners, past tenants and disgruntled neighbors. We can do it all or let you select which service you need. Over the years we've negotiated great prices from local vendors and can pass these savings onto you or your group.
