Assuming you can float the upfront cost.The only other way is to reduce your interest rate, but rates have gone up recently so I doubt you'll be able to lower them that much currently.

The tide is floating all boats... including Tertiary markets (Yakima, Spokane).

The buyers in trouble are the ones using short term debt or floating rate debt to make cash flow happen paying too low of a cap rate going in.

On the other hand if you're a REIT and float bonds at 1.75% to finance your deals you can buy things that you wouldn't if you were borrowing ten year money at 4.5 - 5%.

Or does the idea of wholesaling float your boat?

Ideally I'd like to get financing for the value of the property plus some repair costs, or atleast the property and I'll float the repair costs.Is there ways of getting money for this kind of thing?

If I had a hard time getting a new job, I wouldn't be able to float both of them for too long.

Now what made this place stand out from all the others we had ever stayed at, was this one was actually a traditional float house.

To get a loan to buy you should have 3 months PITI, investors need 6 months of liquid funds.You should have funds available or the ability to borrow for emergencies.One thing that helps new folks is getting credit at the box stores, you can float material costs.You need to be able to cover the deductible for insurance losses.There is no set amount past what lenders want to see, it's a comfort level. :)

I recently had a real estate agent inform me that FDIC had required a bank to set the asking price for the property at the loan value and not the actual property value.Basically the 1 acre lot andmobile home is worth right at $8,000 but they were unable to accept any offer below $17,000.Is the FDIC getting involved in the property value floating?
