Threads like these show you who didnt have a resposible father figure in their lives...
My bad. Crossed you with Panther.I never mentioned mutual funds...
I have been in my place for years but I am looking to sell. I want to go to a different neighborhood but I want to ensure that the prices remain stable before I pull the trigger (Brooklyn).
My score is crazy high because I dont have any debt past my mortage and a sizeable income.
My plan with the arm would be to get in the place with a low rate in a popular neighborhood 20% down and have tenants somehow subsidize the interest only part while making principle payments within the five years.
After the rate is set to expire, either I cash out or re-fi for a fixed rate at 15 years.
sometimes i wish i was licensed in ny, i was thinking about testing but a lot of people say y'all mean as hell and too many investments/fees are crazy lol
but honestly thats good move just stay on top of your finances and stay aggressive…arms are perfect for what you're trying to do
seriously….unless you getting an amazing rate on a fixed loan, you should go arm…people are scared of it though
I had an arm before on the current property I live in now but that shyt expired in 08 when the financial world was upside down and shook me into getting a fixed. The more I realize i messed up in getting the fixed because comparables in the area are no where as high as mine would. I want to cash out now and go elsewhere; preferably somewhere stable and desireable that can pretty much pay 3/4ths of the interest only payment. My salary would be used to pay towards principle and upkeep. What banks would you suggest I go to because in NYC most banks arent even trying to do 7/1 without 25% down on a 2 million dollar property
And who is the largest "land owner" in the world? Its the bloody queen of England mate
I'm curious about land patents @dark_magic![]()

we don't offer jumbos on investment purchases you would have to bring enough to get it to a conventional
thats tough man I'm assuming no ones gonna do it because you're exceeding county loan limits…you're gonna have to bring a lot in regardless
i could be wrong tho, jumbos are tricky man honestly
you dont have to be an estate czar. I never said That. Invest your money WISELY. Where i work i make a decent salary. But the BEST investment Ive EVER made was purchasing a foreclosure back in 2009 using my Veterans Loan. Ive remodeled and the end result is unbelievable. No money down. I paid 112k and when i sell im gonna profit 140-150k easily. What am I gonna do with that profit? Use my Veterans loan to use zero down and avoid pmi, use the profit to REINVEST and get a start on retirement. One of the reasons folk in America cant get ahead is because of debt.
i just closed on my mortgage in dec, was just trying to get a feel for how rates have moved since then.

It depends on the reason you bought the real estate. I mean, if you bought a home primarily because of the home itself and not the land value, then that's not gonna werk investment-wise. But if the area is sound and meets certain criteria then chea. But I didn't grow up in one place so I can't really relate to a city or neighborhood being "home". I'm always ready to make a move.Homes are good investments if you plan on renting them out... and even then you better pick the right one for the right price in the right area........
Otherwise, homes were never meant to be investments.......... especially not long term investments......
Bruh, I don't live in an area where houses cost under $300,000, and I can't just up and move to another state. Different areas call for different strategies, even after the housing crash you weren't seeing houses in this area for under $350,000 because demand was still ridiculously high and those were seen as deals even if they needed work. That 112k you used cannot buy anything in this area, homes in the hood were going for 2-3x that much in 09.
I'm debt free completely, my lady has a little left on her school loan but her parents are taking care of that for her. Even then, I just don't see the point in buying a home in NY, when I can just use what would be the downpayment on that home to buy a much better home outright in some of the countries I've been to and loved.
You the Wolf of Wall Street though, buying homes just to tear them down and put another in it's place, my viewpoints don't really apply to your situation![]()
