A lot of people were lied to when they got variable intrest rate loans.

There are many more variables.

There are lots of variables in play in relation to house values.

Long story short I proceeded to use almost the entire LOC to finance my other real estate holdings.I now owe $80k on this double via a interest only variable rate LOC when the while the property is probably worth no more than $35k.

Let's say you have 10 friends who want to provide capital that you intend to pool together to invest in real estate Your goal would then be to provide them a fixed or variable rate of return.

There are alot of unknown variables.

There are too many variables.

Whatever you do, stick to fixed rate financing for a while as I learned from my grandfather who lost an apartment complex to variable commercial financing on double digit inflation during Carter.

This means that real estate brokerages and professionals are under a microscope, and any anticompetitive conduct is likely to be detected and prosecuted.Price fixing can be in any form, other than commission rates, such as conspiracies to fix the length of a listing, the type of listing accepted (exclusive right to sell, exclusive agency or open), or the formula upon which compensation will be based (flat fee, percentage of the sales price, or a variable percentage depending upon the sales price) also may be per se illegal.

:pissed: Too many 100% loans, variable loans, and so on.
