Understanding The Best Type Of Mortgage For Investment Properties By: Craig Elliott Considering buying properties either as investments or to sell? If so, you need to look at mortgages differently. In order to make the most money, borrow as little money as possible. Remember: retaining the capability to turn the property around to the buyers without causing you payments in the process is important. Thankfully, there are several ways that you can mortgage these investment properties to everyone's benefit. What Can You Afford Now? As with any business, there is an initial start up fee. In the investment properties business, this means that you will make payments on any property that you are unable to immediately sell again (or 'flip' as the popular term is). However, if you do not have a lot of money to spare, there are ways to ensure that you can still get into real estate sales without having to spend a lot of your money in the process. Take a moment to review your current financial status. If you can afford a down payment on a house, you may want to go ahead and use this to your advantage. With every subsequent house, you will then be able to use that same equity to help build your profits as well as the number of investment properties you have. |

The Basics Of Reverse Mortgages |
|
By: Kingston Amadan Reverse mortgages are loans against your home that require no repayment for as long as you live there. As opposed to regular mortgage loans, reverse mortgages have no income requirements and are based solely on the equity of your home or condo. There are no monthly payments to make as the mortgage is due only when the borrower is no longer living at the residence. Seniors over the age of 62 are eligible for reverse mortgages in the US, provided they own their own single family dwelling. No health requirements need to be met, nor is there any loss of government benefits such Social Security and Medicare as a result of obtaining a reverse mortgage. Some benefits, however, such as Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Medicaid can be reduced under specific circumstances. Tax liability for monies received through a reverse mortgage are a non-issue, as loan advancements are not taxed, although interest on the loan is consequently not tax deductible. There are no income requirements to qualify for a reverse mortgage. |
