looking to skirt the banks and get back into rentals Austin TX
13 April 2017 | 5 replies
Another issue I have been dealing with is that I am recently divorced, and the banks will now only count my income but all of the debt on all 4 properties, even though the divorce decree gave her all of the liability for 1 of the properties and half of 2 of the others...I am being told that my debt to income ration is going to always include all four mortgages.This portfolio based approval option sounds like what I have been trying to find, but no one seems to be able to do that.

Owner Financing - Is interest a good idea?
3 August 2017 | 19 replies
If you offer 30 year amortization with a 5 year balloon you would be costing yourself over $50,000 in interest.The only two rationals I see are if (1) the property will only sell for $135,000 if owner financing at 0 interest is offered ( in which case it is not worth $135,000), or (2) you are thing about offering a loan which fully amortizes in 5 years (so foregoing interest brings down the high monthly payments significantly and equity build fast).Both the above scenarios are "marketing ploys", which are used much more extensively in high interest environment, rather than our current low interest environment.
