Hi
In santo domingo,  Dominican Republic they sell to investors apartments that has yet to be built.  I thought i would be buying real estate  that already existed. how would you approach investing in this yet to be ...

In the near future id like to move out and purchase another similar property but I'm trying to maximize my income and property performance before hand to give myself the best chance at qualifying for a fha loan 3.5% down.

I know I may need to start securing that first in the future, but I am here now.

I'm more of a trusting individual than I should be, and in the future, I definitely won't be so trusting when I'm told something.

@John Warren thanks for posting...maybe I just need to ask you to post in future. 

My initial plan was to purchase enough rentals to help offset some of the mortgage of my future home in LA.

It is simply a matter of acknowleging that contractually title will be good to go at a named date in the future.

Yes if she has MAXED out the Reverse Mortgage Loan Advances and the property value is < LESS than what she owes (primarily due to poor upkeep and ongoing maintenance) - she gets NO More MOOLA $$ from the lender but then they may have trouble getting their loaned MOOLA E$$ back in the future IF or WHEN that time comes for her to go to that great BIG escrow in the sky.

an idea: on your laptop: create a folder, and in that folder create files by categories, then create as many files, subfolders as you want, keep organized, and you can even search for key words in the future!

The only types of loans that will utilize a projected future value are rehab 203k/homestyle/renovation/private/hard money bridge loans, those will order an as is today and future valuation ( ARV - after repair value) to determine your maximum loan amount with rehab included.
