Flippers Finding Hard Money's Soft Landing

Until recently, flippers who don't have an unlimited source of income have had to get a hard-money loan to acquire properties and rehab them for the flip - and until that property was sold, flippers had to pay HIGH interest on that hard-money loan.  Ouch!

Now, as a flipper, you can obtain your hard-money loan to acquire that uninhabitable property, make the improvements to make it habitable, and IMMEDIATELY refinance it into a qualified mortgage with today's regular rates - no seasoning required.  I'll pause a moment here for you to go back and read those last few sentences to assure you're reading them correctly.  

This isn't a guarantee that you'll qualify or any of that jazz, of course - you still have to go through the application and underwriting process - and I'm not going to quote you any rates, but you can be sure they'll be WAY BETTER than hard-money loans if you qualify.  Also, you might find that with the ability to refinance to a much lower rate, hanging on to that property as an investment could give you an even better return on your investment.

Numbers Don't Lie, But Wherein Lies the Truth? (Posted November 21, 2016)

Said with enough conviction, you can make almost anything sound true.   Preface the fabrication with “according to a recent bi-partisan government study,” and you’re three quarters of the way to selling the lie to a lot of people.   Seriously, try this. The next time you’re at a dinner party or having coffee with friends, pepper this little tidbit into the conversation: “I read something really interesting the other day.   According to a recent bi-partisan government study – I think it took them three years to get it all done – middle-aged men who drive either a Toyota Camry or a Honda Odyssey have more testosterone than younger men who drive either a Ford F150 or a Dodge Charger.”   You’ll get some raised eyebrows and looks of mild disbelief, but don’t let that deter you.   Just lift up your hands, palms outward, and say, “I just think it’s interesting, and it makes sense when you think about it” – and then change the subject to something completely u...

Couching Your Savings Correctly (Posted July 25, 2016)

I recently read an article online about a gentleman who set a goal to purchase a home and then mapped out very specific steps as to how he would reach that goal.   Personally, I was extremely impressed by his discipline and foresight.   His goal had two parts to it: save $150,000 for a down payment and purchase a home.   Before you choke on your coffee or spit soda through your nose, let me disclose here that the gentleman who is the subject of the article was purchasing a home in the New York City area.   Now that your blood pressure is returning to normal and you’ve spared your freshly ironed white shirt from staining, I’ll give you a breakdown of his plan: •   Starting in 2007, he looked at his annual salary and then took a look at the amount of credit card debt he was carrying; he cut back on as many expenses as possible so he could pay off that credit card debt in the first year.   Touché! •   He kept his lifestyle scaled back to the poin...

Dumb as (or Smart as) a Box of Rocks (Posted June 27, 2016)

Obviously, you all want to know what Brexit means to the economy and the housing market specifically.   So do I!   But since my crystal ball is at the cleaner’s, let’s give the Brits and the European Union a little time to work out the terms of their separation and look at something else.   What’s a “fad ”?   With the help of Google, this is what I got as a definition: “an intense and widely shared enthusiasm for something, especially one that is short-lived and without basis in the object's qualities; a craze.” In April 1975, an advertising executive by the name of Gary Dahl invented the Pet Rock.   The idea came from his sitting in a bar with some friends who were complaining about the cost and time required to take care of various types of pets.   He marketed his “pets” by placing a rock in a box cut and shaped like one you would get at the pet store to carry home a puppy or a kitten.   Along with the box and the rock, a booklet was included...
