Empirical Evidence Real Estate Investors Are Still Gettin’ The Loans They Need

Posted @ 8:24 pm - Filed under Real Estate Investing, Weekend Thoughts, Financing, San Diego Property Owners, Buying Income Property, Leverage

This past week, and throughout all of the coming week or two Brown and Brown clients have been and will be closing escrows. Every single client is acquiring multiple properties with 10-20% down payments — with a fixed rate of 6%.

Kool-Aid

Wait just a doggone minute here! Real estate investors can’t do that any more, can they? Ah, yeah, they can. I keep tellin’ you. Stop drinkin’ MSM’s (mainstream media) Kool-Aid. While from every corner we’re being told what we can’t do, we’ve been doin’ it.

I’ve had clients tell me right up ’till they get confirmation of closing, that the loan won’t materialize. “Hadn’t I been following the news lately?”

There are those who endlessly telling us how things can’t be done. ‘Course they’ve never done it.

Be one of those who quietly do those very things. I can tell you from first hand experience — it’s big time fun. :)

But enough business on a three day weekend.

Let’s have a cool holiday weekend video. Crank it up full blast. The San Diego real estate investment market? She’s Already Gone. :)

  • Since Fannie and Freddie dropped the maximum number of investment loans to four, how are you financing buyers with more properties? Lack of good financing can really crimp the “move up and multiply” strategy.

  • Investor — By understanding the rules, in and out. Also, it doesn’t hurt if it’s not your lender’s first rodeo, know what I mean, Verne?

    Seriously, it requires great planning. Also, many of the rules will not apply depending upon the investor’s experience.

    The road is definitely getting bumpier on the finance side, but we’re persistent. A note: Some of the mort. insur. folks won’t even do four now. Ouch.
