Deals that fit your buy box, with numbers you can check.
Lakebridge Properties puts Genesee County houses under contract as the buyer and offers the contract to a few local investors. Every deal comes with sold comps, an itemized repair estimate, title already opened and a walkthrough before you put any money down.
Email replies the same business day (Eastern time). Mark answers the phone personally.
What you get with every deal, so you can decide in minutes
Cash buyers say it again and again in investor forums: inflated ARVs, rehab guesses and no access are why they stop opening wholesalers' emails. So this is the standard every Lakebridge deal meets before it reaches you. Hold us to it.
Address and photos
The full address up front, every room, and close-ups of what's wrong, not just the good angles.
A real contract
Signed with the owner, the date it was signed, and title opened at a Michigan title company. You see the purchase agreement before you sign the assignment.
ARV you can check
At least 3 nearby sold comps with addresses, and we use the middle of the range, not the best sale on the street.
Itemized repairs
Line by line, with how each number was estimated, so you can compare it with your own contractor's.
One all-in price
The price you pay for the contract, with nothing added later, set to leave room for your margin.
Earnest money at title
The amount, and that it goes to the title company, never to us.
Access first
A walkthrough or lockbox window before any money changes hands. Bring your contractor or inspector.
The rest of the facts
Closing date, whether it's occupied, taxes and water bills owed, and whether it closes by assignment or double close.
Fewer emails, and every one worth opening
- Only real contracts.We only send houses we have under a signed purchase contract with the owner. No ghost listings, no passing along someone else's contract.
- Only what fits.Tell us where and what you buy. City of Flint and the rest of Genesee County are separate choices, because many buyers want one and not the other.
- Real dates, no hype.Every sheet states the closing date and how long it's open. No "won't last", no made-up deadlines.
- Easy to stop.Reply "stop" to any email, or text it, and you won't hear from us again.
What buyers ask a new wholesaler
Are you a wholesaler?
Yes. We put houses under contract as the buyer and offer that contract to an investor by assignment, or sometimes close and resell the same day. The price on the sheet is all-in. We're a real estate investment company, not a licensed real estate broker.
How many deals have you done?
Lakebridge is a new company, so there are no Lakebridge testimonials to show you yet, and we won't invent any. Judge us by the first deal sheet you get: check the comps, check the repairs, walk the house.
Why is the mailing address in New York?
It's our mailing address, for mail only. We don't have a Flint office. Every deal closes at a Michigan title company, and you walk the house before any money changes hands.
How fast will you answer?
Email replies the same business day (Eastern time). Calls and texts go to Mark directly at +1 (646) 564-2651.
What if a deal doesn't fit me?
Then you shouldn't get it. Tell us what changed in your buy box any time, or reply "stop" and you're off the list.
Selling a house that needs work?
Inherited a house, tired of being a landlord, or facing repairs you don't want to make? We buy houses as they are, anywhere in Genesee County. Here's what we promise in writing:
- We tell you how we work before you sign. We're the buyer on the contract, and we may assign it to another investor, who closes on the same price and terms. We're paid for that.
- The price holds. After the walkthrough we don't come back with a lower number, unless a serious problem you didn't know about turns up, and then we show you the photos.
- Nothing recorded on your title, and earnest money goes to a Michigan title company.
- If we can't close, we cancel in writing, so you're free to sell to someone else.
- No pressure. No same-day signatures, and if you ask us to stop contacting you, we stop.
- An honest comparison. If listing with an agent would clearly get you more, we'll say so.
How it goes
- You tell us about the house: address, condition, your timeline.
- We look at recent sales nearby and the repairs, and walk the house if it helps.
- You get a written offer and time to think it over.
- You close at a Michigan title company on a date that works for you. No agent commissions.
The city of Flint and the rest of Genesee County
Hi, I'm Mark Montago.
I started Lakebridge Properties to send Genesee County investors deals that fit what they actually buy, with numbers they can check. I also want to give owners of houses that need work a straight way to sell. We're a small, new company, so you deal with me directly from the first call to closing.
