Buy Investment Properties with 100% Financing
 
Yes, it's true!
You can get 100% financing for investment properties…..as long as you have a line of credit to fund your down payment. With the right lender, you can set up a line of credit for free with no appraisal cost.
This is how many smart investors have purchased multiple properties with no money out of pocket.  
 
Take out a line of credit on your primary residence (or existing rental property, but you'll get better terms on a primary residence)
Use the line of credit for the down payment – you only need a 15% down payment on a 1 … (5 comments)

The Home Ownership Rate = Clickbait
 
Read the headlines and the home ownership rate is now the lowest since the 1957, or the lowest in 20 years, or the lowest since the late Jurassic period! There's been a regular parade of articles with some version of this headline. Sounds relevant to a Real Estate Broker who needs to stay current with market trends to best advise clients. So I read 'em...but mostly for entertainment.
 
 
Yes, the home ownership rate has dropped significantly from the 2005 high, but that was an artificial high. In October, 1999, the Glass-Steagall banking regulations (enacted in the 1930's in response to … (0 comments)
