This time, people have equity in their homes and low utilisation rates on home equity lines (HELOCs)3.)

Real estate actually far out performed index funds in the past....market specific obviously but you get what I'm saying.I believe in the wise utilisation of debt to buy assets that produce cash flow.

Realistically I would need to do that after I utilised any FHA program as I would want to keep that for a year and then start putting down 20%.

I am conducting research to investigate how technology can be utilised for streamlining the due diligence and buying process from the comfort of our homes/offices.I’d like to leave you with this question and kindly request your thoughts:Would you consider submitting an offer for a property located in another part of the world without physically viewing the property, but instead using tools such as your devices to conduct virtual tours and local representatives to validate the property?
