In the Real World

Acquisition Affiliates, LLC (A2LLC), a Michigan company, opened its doors for business on November 20, 2007 to answer the many needs of the real estate market, especially in Michigan where foreclosure rates are among the highest in the nation. The principles noticed that even though there are many, so called, bargains, there is very little buying going on. Home owners and investors alike are reticent when it comes to snapping up the available inventory. Acquisition Affiliates, LLC is proposing a solution to the problem, at least where investors are concerned.

Bonnie Steele, President of A2LLC, leads a team of real estate investment and business management professionals. Their purpose is to bring together all the elements of a successful investment opportunity into a turnkey real estate investment package. According to Steele, an experienced real estate investor and licensed real estate agent, there are three major stumbling blocks for would be investors today. The first is getting funding, the second is getting access to the best deals and lowest priced, quality properties. The third stumbling block, and probably the worst, is not having an exit strategy that works. Steele recommends holding investments as a rental income property. The rental market is hot right now with few willing or able to buy homes. However, the prospect of being a landlord is overwhelming for many would be investors. Acquisition Affiliates consulting provides a solution for all three stumbling blocks and gets investors into properties that have 20-30% equity with cash flow from renters.

Acquisition Affiliates, LLC brings all the important players to the table and arranges the best deals for their clients: private lenders, wholesale properties, renovation contractors, appraisers, property management and more. “We work closely with the buyer, our client, to make the process smooth and as hassle-free as possible,” says Steele.

“What makes us unique in the field right now is we don’t just sell someone a wholesale property. We help the investor start with an investing goal and put together a strategic plan to meet the goal. So many investors end upside down because they don’t start with a plan in mind.”

“We listen to what the investor is trying to accomplish and then bring in all the resources to make that happen. We’ll help facilitate property rehab and get a property management system in place so there’s a qualified renter ready to move in. We’re a perfect solution for out-of state investors who want to invest in Michigan. We are their team on the ground.”

The balance of the A2LLC Team of Acquisition Consultants is filled out by Sheldon Smith, a Licensed Builder and entrepreneur and Jayne Burch, Business Coach and internet marketer. Smith and Burch are real estate investors and own another investment company, Safe Harbor Homes, LLC. Together, the A2LLC Acquisition Consultants possess the skills and knowledge to help anyone who wants to invest in the Michigan real estate market to succeed.
