Our mortgage expert Steve Dunnett points out current mortgage and down payment options make investment sense... and we agree.
Eric, Bob and I often discuss our clients' options for two-flat, three-flat and four-flat buildings. Low mortgage rates and lower asking prices make investment multi-unit properties in vogue.
I have read a few articles about how we may turn into a nation of renters. Maybe this is a little extreme, but vast statistics and our personal experience show a great demand for rental property is real. How can you capitalize on that?
Simple, become a landlord of a small multi-unit building. Did you know that you can buy a 4 flat with as little as 3.5% down through FHA? FHA also allows you to use the rental income from the building to qualify for the mortgage. They also allow for non-occupant co-signers... so rather than have your kids as paying rent to an evil landlord, an owner operator situation may be a better investment for the family with help from mom and dad.
