Rental properties generate recurring income. This meaning they can be relied on for years to come. Investing in real estate can be an excellent way to ensure financial security before you retire or just have some extra money in the bank. In most cases, income from rental properties is treated as ordinary income and taxed on an investors federal income tax bracket.

Haven’t quite saved up enough for a large down payment? Finance it! There are multiple different ways to borrow money, here are a few that I would recommend:

1. Take out a HELOC or home equity loan- this allows you to use as much or as little of the credit line that you need.
2. Get a loan from a friend or family member- this can be made possible by giving the lender an asset. So you would need to put up your home, car, or anything of value as collateral for the loan.
3. Retirement savings- if you have a 401k, you may be able to borrow up to 50% if your account balance or $50,000 (whichever is less).
4. Get a bridge loan- a bridge loan is a short-term mortgage that allows you to borrow equity in a home that you are selling to use towards your new home.
5. Research down payment assistance programs- down payment assistance or DPA could be available through your local bank.

As always, make sure you are doing your research and choosing the best financial path for your situation. Don’t count yourself out of a house just because you don’t have a large savings account. If you have questions, ask!!!

One thing we learn about in business school is ROI (return on investment). Your house is more then just a home, it is also a huge financial investment.

When it comes to resale value, upgrades can be a significant factor in regards to the asking price. It’s time to upgrade your homes function, even if you aren’t ready to sell yet.

Are you preapproved? Do you know which mortgage loan to apply for? Do you know the difference between a conventional loan and FHA loan? Do you understand how interest works?

A lender is a powerful resource to utilize! You may be confused on the financing details, but a lender isn’t. If you need a referral, let me know I can get you in contact with a trusted professional.
