Interest Only Loans For The Real Esate Investor

The real estate investor and the interest only loan are a perfect pairing. The real estate investor looking to retain an investment for the short term can really benefit from the lowered investment of the principal payment. Especially in situation where the investor is improving the property and the value is certain to increase.

This particular borrower fully understands the risks involved in an interest only loan, and has spent the time needed to determine if the product is right for his investment needs. The real estate investor is a business person, not a consumer borrowing to pay for a place to live.

The short-term real estate investor or developer wants to keep his or her expenditures at a minimum during this investment period, saving as much of the expendable cash as possible for the actual renovation or preparation for sale of the property itself. Read the rest of this entry »

Javea Real Estate: Villas, Apartments & Resorts

The realtor lady showed interest in the purchase program, but before getting needed answers, she decided to go into a long drawn-out story about a person wronged by a reverse mortgage company.

First things first… The rule is you must complete this article. You can’t just read what happened and then stop before I can explain. We can’t have you running about telling everyone else how horrible the reverse mortgage is.

Like most stories that may not be true the story is told second, third or fourth hand. In this case, the agent had a girlfriend, who’s friend’s father had a reverse mortgage on his home. After his passing the home made it’s way into the hands of the FOAFOAR (I’m going to use this acronym for the Friend Of A Friend Of A Real estate professional). Read the rest of this entry »
