Nothing, our services are 100% free for you!  

Maverick is a real estate brokerage and gets paid a broker referral fee from the seller when each transaction closes.

By not getting paid up front, this creates a financial incentive for Maverick to provide you a very high level of value and service. The only way we get paid is if we help you find an investment property (and market) that is such a great fit for your buying criteria and investing goals that you choose to close on the property. In order for Maverick to ensure our company offers you the best service and value, we have chosen to institutionalize this financial incentive structure to maintain a company-wide quality standard for our clients.

Nice people that are fun to work with, have at least $50,000 of investable cash, have a goal of building a portfolio of cash-flowing investment properties over time….and want to have a blast designing their lifestyle in the process!

People who have no money, no credit, and are looking for “nothing down” approaches to “get rich quick” through real estate are not a good fit. Also, people who want to spend their money on expensive seminars, boot-camps and info-products from real estate gurus instead of actually buying investment properties are not a good fit.

Maverick Investor Group was founded in 2007 and has been serving individual real estate investors like you every day since.

Yes, the 3 founding Partners of Maverick were first real estate investors prior to founding Maverick. The company was founded by real estate investors for real estate investors.

The 3 founding partners of Maverick have helped individual real estate investors buy over $100,000,000 worth of residential investment property across 15 States.

Over 85% of the people who buy a property from Maverick decide to purchase a second property (or refer a friend or family member to purchase a property) within the first 6 months after closing. Maverick’s entire business model is premised upon helping you build a portfolio of cash-flowing properties over time. Maverick has been featured in national and international real estate press and was named one of the “Top 50 Real Estate Investment Opinion Makers and Market Leaders” by Personal Real Estate Investor Magazine.

No. Maverick is a real estate brokerage, not a seller.  We work with well-capitalized local market specialists on the ground in each of our target market who offer turnkey properties to our clients for purchase. These are independent companies (separate from Maverick) who use their own capital to acquire, renovate and lease properties in highly advantageous “investor sweet spots” within that local market. They then offer the performing turnkey properties for sale to Maverick clients as a private off-market buying opportunity.

When Maverick uses the term “turnkey property”, we mean a residential property (such as a single family home or a 2-4 unit property) that is either new or fully renovated and already has a tenant and a local property manager in place. In other words it is a “performing property” that is already cash flowing and is easy for you to own as an out-of-state (or out-of-country) investor without having to be a landlord or a rehabber.

There are a number of advantages of buying a turnkey property:

1) You have the ability to buy in the best real estate markets regardless of where you live, instead of being confined to your local market.

2) The turn-key providers that Maverick works with are very well capitalized and are able to get access to better properties than individual investors, based on their established relationships and the volume of real estate they purchase.

3) The turnkey providers Maverick works with operate on economics of scale because of their size. This means they are able to renovate the property at a much lower cost than an individual because they buy their materials at discounted bulk prices.  And, they have their own construction crews in house, so the labor is less expensive per renovation as well.

4) You save a huge amount of time if your property is already cash flowing from the day you close and time is undoubtedly your most valuable asset.

5) Your risk is dramatically reduced. If you were to acquire a distressed property at a foreclosure auction, or example, you might not even be able to get inside until after you close. That means your renovation costs could be much higher than you expected. When you start renovating, your repairs could take much longer than you anticipated, raising your holding costs. Then, once the renovations are finished, it might take longer to rent than you anticipated, and perhaps it even rents for lower than you anticipated. These are all very expensive downside risks of “doing it yourself”. Buying turnkey property, on the other hand, means the seller takes all these up-front risks instead of you. Then you just evaluate the deal, inspect the finished product, do your due diligence, and then close on a performing property that cash-flows from day 1.

There are a number of advantages to buying property through Maverick:

1) We refer volume business to the sellers we work with. This gives us leverage with the seller that the individual buyer would not have. One thing we do with that leverage is negotiate special terms for Maverick clients that are not available to the general public, so you get a better deal. Our volume business also creates a higher degree of accountability on the part of the seller because they know if they don’t perform for any of our clients, they could lose all the Maverick business. So, by purchasing investment property through Maverick, you not only get a better deal, but you are part of a community that has much more influence and recourse with the sellers.

2) Maverick enables you to diversify your real estate investing across markets instead of being wedded to one particular market. We provide you data, trends and information about multiple “investor-advantaged” markets and help you select which ones are best for you. This enables you to diversify across markets over time and to buy at strategic points in each of the local property cycles. This is very different from working with one market-specific seller who is always going to tell you it is the best time to buy in their market because it is all they have to sell. Maverick is not financially incentivized to encourage you to buy in any particular market because we make a referral fee from all markets, so we can provide you data and analysis about the advantages of different markets at different times and support you in selecting the one that is the best fit for you.

3) We save you huge amounts of time. Traditional real estate investors spend the majority of their time searching for properties. Maverick’s business model is designed so that the properties come to you instead of you having to go out and look for them. We spend the majority of our time identifying the best real estate markets and hunting down the best deals so all you have to do is evaluate the deal and conduct your due diligence. Note: There are plenty of people trying to sell investment properties. We get pitched by self-styled turnkey providers and rehabbers every week asking us to sell their product and we turn down over 95% of them.

First of all, most real estate agents specialize in serving primary homeowners, not real estate investors. So, while they will surely accept the business, they will not likely be able to identify the best investment properties because they are not specialists. Secondly, most real estate agents only have access to properties that are publicly listed on the MLS. These are typically properties that have already been picked over and rejected by the local market specialists that Maverick works with, who have direct relationships with banks and other channels to procure the best properties before they are available to the public. And third, most real estate agents are local and therefore financially incentivized to convince you to buy in their local market, regardless of how (un)favorably it compares to other markets.

No, Never. Maverick is a licensed real estate brokerage and is not a licensed securities dealer. Maverick introduces you to buying opportunities for deeded, freehold real property only. Maverick will never sell or introduce you to an opportunity to buy securities of any kind.

No, Never. You will be engaging in traditional real estate transactions only where your earnest money is held in escrow by a third party title company (or attorney) who handles the closing.

No, Never. We never touch any of your money under any circumstances.

Yes. While Maverick is not a lender or a mortgage broker, and therefore cannot offer financing ourselves or quote specific rates and terms, we have identified lenders in our target markets that specialize in working with real estate investors. We have relationships with both conventional lenders for qualified buyers as well as non-recourse lenders that offer financing for foreign nationals, LLCs, and self-directed retirement plans. Introducing you to these lenders so that you can qualify with them directly is one of the services Maverick offers to our clients at no charge.

Yes. While Maverick cannot give tax or legal advice, we have relationships with industry leaders in both the tax an asset protection fields who specialize in working with real estate investors and who give priority treatment to Maverick clients. Introducing you to these industry leaders so that you can discuss your individual situation, needs, and goals with them directly is one of the services Maverick offers to our clients at no charge.

Maverick is not a transaction-based sales company. We are a relationship-based company, and we want a long-term relationship with you, so we can help you build your wealth over time through real estate. Our philosophy is that if we can continually provide you the highest level of value at no cost, that you will in turn want to continue to buy from Maverick and refer your friends and family to buy from Maverick. In order to generate repeat business and client loyalty, we want to ensure that the Maverick experience is not just about the real estate transaction, but about the educational value, individualized attention, introductions to other industry experts, and personal support.

Most of our clients use Rent Fax for this.  You can learn more and get a free Rent Fax report for any address in the U.S. here. 

Yes, but only if you have an active U.S. real estate license. Real estate law prohibits our brokerage from paying commissions or referral fees to anyone who is not a licensed real estate agent or broker. If you do have an active real estate license from a U.S. state, you can register for The Maverick Referral Network.
