Profit By Residential Investment Property Acquisition By Luat Tran Van The recent meltdown of the sub-prime market in the United States has sparked a unique opportunity. Recently there has been one of the longest periods of sustained economic growth throughout most of the developed world. It has widened the gap between the haves and have not’s while also increasing the number of people in the range of relatively wealthy.
This change in economics has placed many Americans in with the financially affluent who have the ability to use their financial security to build more for their future. Many of those within this fold have turned to investing in residential real estate.
The sub-prime fears have created a so-called “credit crisis” that have caused some to fear a recession is coming. The business world wants nothing to do with a recession and is doing everything possible to avoid an economic slow-down. Businesses are of course trying to protect themselves from a economic slump.
Economists agree that a recession is not likely, but still a possibility. It is felt that the likely scenario will be a slow-down in the rate of growth while the markets adjust to the economy instead of a collapse that precedes recessions in most cases.
With many Americans it is an uncomfortable position to be in while they focus on paying off a first on their home. If you managed to take advantage of the last decade of prosperity you are in a better position to take advantage of the current market and purchase residential investment properties.
The first reason would be that banks will view you as a fairly safe risk when applying for a loan on investment property. This favorable consideration assists you in gaining access to credit and favorable interest rates.
The sub-prime woes have caused access to credit to dry up and some feel the housing market to stall. There are even some that feel collapse which is causing prices in some markets to fall. Most experts don’t feel there is a collapse.
If you are one of those that have failed to invest over the last decade
or are focused on paying off your first mortgage, it is understood that you might not have a favorable opinion on the current stalling market. Most home owners view their homes as their largest asset and investment.
There are also those savvy investors that have access to favorable credit terms that view this market as a great opportunity. They look at this market as a unique opportunity to “Buy low, sell high” which is the cornerstone to making sound investments. The ability to investment property loans to secure the property makes it even more appealing to those ready to capitalize.
As with any investment there is risk if the markets do take a turn for the worse causing interest rates and inflation to climb while the real estate market falls. For those who already own their homes this could serve as collateral for the loan on the new property which will help to make sure you don’t over extend yourself.
If you are new to investing you should make sure to secure the advice of professionals in finance as this can be a tricky balancing act.

Qualifying for mortgage AFTER unemployment ends My wife andamp; myself, victims of Michigan economy, moved to Georgia and returned to the workforce in June 2010 after periods of unemployment. Myself-16 months straight, my wife-6 months out of the previous 24. We we told by several lenders that we had to work at new positions for six months to qualify for a mortgage. Quite a shock as we have no debts/loans and our credit scores range 795-820.
Does anyone know specifically when and where these regulations came into effect and where is the doc... VOE My husband recently quit his previous job (assumedly on good terms) to go work for the competition for better pay, perks, etc. We have to move because the new job is too far to drive daily. The loan officer is insisting on a VOE. Unfortunately the previous employer is quite ridiculous and vengeful and will now not sign the VOE form. Is there any way around this as we have provided paystubs and W2's showing he worked there for the past 2 years?? refi or pay more each month We currently owe 233,000 on our home at a rate of 5.5% and are 6 years into a 30 year mortgage. (Original loan was for 260,000) I've been paying an extra $200 each month towards principal to pay it off a bit sooner. Am I better off refinancing to a slightly lower rate (~4.5%) or should I simply continue to pay more each month on what we have? Who is entitled to the earnest money? My husband and I decided to buy our first home a couple months ago. After looking for a while we found one. Since we were pre-approved for a mortgage it was fairly easy getting the ball rolling. The sellers accepted our offer, (which included them paying for a termite inspection) and we set a closing date. In that time frame my husband lost his job and had to seek new employment. This changed our loan approval and the deal fell through. Now the seller is wanting the earnest money, money for the ... any investor friendly broker licensed in Geogrgia looking for cash out refi for 2 houses which are paid no mortgage...looking for cash out refi....
thank you
[Email deleted as per forum rules. Thanks.] PMI - Conventional vs FHA We bought our house last September and as we were planning to put down 10% we learned we have to pay PMI. We told the Bank of America mortgage agent that we were planning to pay it off as soon as possible. We have been making double payments in hopes to get rid of our PMI. He told us that the best thing for us is the 30 year Fixed with PMI.
However, our mortgage is listed as 30 Years Conv w/PMI on our online account page and our HUD statement states that we have an FHA loan and we were charg... PMI with 20% down?? I have a credit score of 802 but last years income was lower than normal. I don't qualify for a traditional mortgage for the house that I want I'm about 40k short but my father is willing to cosign. I was told I can only get an FHA loan because he is a 'non occupant' and we are still required to pay pmi even though we are putting down 20%...Any way around this?? refinance We have 124,000 left on a 30 year mortgage. Currently 22 years left to pay. We pay biweekly (and pay 200 extra a month) the rate is 5.75. So it has dropped the amount dramatically through the years. Should we refinance at a 15 year, 3.8 interest rate or just keep paying the extra on the original loan. We would pay the same extra 200 on the new loan amount also. The closing costs might be around 3,000. Not sure yet. Am I just fooling myself into thinking lower rate will get it paid off qui... Should we refinance? Current: 27 yrs left on 30 yr fixed at 6.625% andamp; we pay $200/mo extra on a $773.18 Pandamp;I note. Home value $162K, owe $109,800. Ficos are 736/781. Offer: 30 yrs 5%, so not 2 points difference. We would be depleting large part of savings for closing. I say recoup that by lessening our non matched 401K deposits for 6 mo. We are disciplined and would go back to that for sure. Husband thinks not worth it. Plan on being in this home for life.
