Borrowing Against Annuity to Invest
Hello there,
I was just looking for some opinions on borrowing against my annuity to invest in a duplex. I’d like to use a 203k loan so I can put 3.5% down. I know this means I will need reserves too. A follow up question is, how much is expected in reserves using this method?
Thank you,
Shayne
