Private Lending In Your IRA or 401(k) What s in it for you? Fixed Minimum Returns High Yields Secured and Insured Investments Earnings are Tax Deferred or Tax Free
Your Protection You Receive: Note Deed of Trust or Mortgage Hazard Insurance Policy
How It Works These are the Steps: Houston Capital Group will locate a property to buy at a significant discount below market value Houston Capital Group approved investor will borrow funds from private investors to purchase and renovate the property. Investor will sell the property for profit or hold the property for cash-flow and potential appreciation.
Private Lender Private Lender contributes funds for purchase and renovation Purchase Transaction occurs at title company with Title Insurance and 3 rd Party Property Appraisal. Renovation/Resell or Lease Investor manages the rehab and resell/leasing of the property Property Sold Private Lender receives payoff upon closing Lease of Property Management Company will put Tenants in place, maintain the property and handle accounting (including payments to your 3 rd party administrator). Title of the policy will typically be held in LLC for asset protection and management purposes. Holding Period Private Lender can either hold the note for long term (2-5 years), or investor will utilize a bank or credit partner to refinance into a permanent loan to cash the lender out.
How Can We Buy Houses So Far Below Market Value? We specialize in distressed properties that usually need renovation. We know where to look, what to buy, what NOT to buy and how to renovate. We create value by purchasing ugly, vacant homes and turning them into clean and functional family homes.
Client Selects From Available Terms Cities or Specific Properties Term of Note (6 months to 5 years) Monthly, Quarterly, Annual or Accruing (balloon) Interest Payments Maximum Loan-To-Value is 75% Based on ARV (After Repaired Value) appraisal Typically, our deals are even below 70% of value
What If I Don t Have A Large Balance In My IRA? 1 st Position Notes start at a minimum of $50,000. Junior Position Notes start at a minimum of $10,000 If you have less that the minimum, we may be able to create a custom investment to get you started.

Earnings Comparison Example CD or Money Market May Have Early Withdrawal Penalties 3% Interest Total Earned: $2,550 Annualized Yield: 3% HCG Private Lender 1 st Position Deed of Trust No Early Withdrawal Penalty 6 month Note (or longer) 1.5 points Upon Funding - $1,275 12% Interest = $5,100 after 6 months Total Earned: $6,375 Annualized Yield: 15%
What Happens If My Note Matures And HCG Is Not Ready To Fund My Payoff? There are multiple exit strategies: We can offer you a Note renewal We can re-finance your Note with another lender We can bring in a credit partner to refinance We can sell the property quickly at a discount to another investor
Why Invest In The Houston Market? >New Home Construction down 61%, but Population is increasing by over 100,000 per year!

What Happens If HCG Goes Out Of Business? Your funds have been invested in a property that is now renovated and probably tenant occupied or ready for resale Your investment is secured by the property at a maximum of 75% of its value You could sell the property or retain it in your IRA as an investment rental property and make more money than you did as only being the private lender! Lastly, HCG is only a consortium of investors and Houston area real estate professionals, so you would have a network of other investors should Brant or Jack no longer be available to provide you any deals

Establishing Terms First Rule of Negotiating: He who speaks first Loses
Establishing Terms Ask with the Open Ended Question: What rate of return are you looking for?
Establishing Terms However, we re not really negotiating here We are seeking a mutually beneficial lending relationship But, we are seeking terms that work for our deals and lenders that will be satisfied with these returns
Establishing Terms Make the terms work for the lender and your deal Utilize Deferred Interest for Short-Term Flips Listen to your lenders request, then structure the deal to satisfy their goals, and make your deal the most profitable as possible
Create An Irre$i$tible Offer Split/Share Profits Or, Give them a piece of the Pie Put them in Safe Deals, with acceptable equity portions and multiple exit strategies While still making your deal very profitable to you, offer them returns and terms they cannot refuse!
Is There Anyone I Should NOT Borrow From? Anyone that is totally dependent on that source of funds Anyone you do not get along with Unstable, erratic individuals **Remember, this is potentially a long-term business relationship!
Closing Documents 1. Promissory Note/Mortgage 2. Insurance 3. Title Commitment 4. Insurance 5. Survey (recommended) 6. Disclosure Statement (recommended)
SEC GUIDELINES Real estate investors are offering private lenders securities when they ask them to lend their funds. Securities must be offered either under an exemption or by registration with the state. Every state has its own securities regulator and its own set of laws, rules and regulations. As long as you only work within your home state, you can use a home state exemption or registration and a federal intrastate exemption. Many students work in states that don t require any filing when using an exemption, including when you stay under the threshold number of private lenders to whom you offer or sell securities.
SEC GUIDELINES Other states do require filing paperwork. When you cross state lines, the Federal SEC gets involved with its own set of laws, rules and regulations. It s legal to advertise securities, as long as you do so in compliance with appropriate securities laws. Do NOT make Public Offerings (this is our main exception) HOWEVER WE DO NOT RECOMMEND YOU ADVERTISE FOR LENDERS ONLY PRESENT WITHIN YOUR PERSONAL NETWORK
