@Stanley Smeltzer there is also a 3% funds to use based on the purchase price if you are going to live in the property.

I've crunched the numbers and if I could purchase three four-plexes in the next ten years, that would give me the financial independence I'm looking for."2.

Hi Tahreak, You have to be just as careful purchasing new builds, many of the homebuilders I noticed sometimes cut corners and you might have more maintenance related costs than expected.

When a service member allows someone to assume their VA loan, it can have several implications:The service member may regain their VA loan entitlement, which can be used for a future home purchase.

I currently live in the Midwest and am interested in purchasing a property in Huntsville or Chattanooga.

Purchase price: $92,500 Sale price: $270,000 This West Philly home was located in the Carroll Park neighborhood of 19131 and was a great site at just under 1500 sqft.

Helocs must also be calculated in underwriting based on fully exhausted payment meaning even if you only use a portion during the next purchase they underwriter will hit you with the full payment for risk.Cash out on the other hand is a liquid reserve tax free and it only requires (1) mortgage/lien.

I currently own a home in Seattle (Queen Anne) that has appreciated roughly $1M since we purchased it nearly 9-years-ago. 

I don't intend to live there, but I want to hold onto the property for a while once I purchase it.
