If houses near you are now selling for 300k then the local assessor will just blanket raise all properties in value based on the years sales.

1) 20% down will allow you to do a conventional investment loan, but you will have to either:- Qualify with the new payment + your current payment- Lease the property out, allowing the lender to use 75% of the monthly rent to offset the mortgage (confirm with a lender).2) You could also do a DSR 20% down loan, but the interest rate will be much higher than conforming rates.3) If less than 20% down, you could:- Do a 10% 2nd home loan as long as the new property is at least 50 miles from your current home or near a qualifying vacation spot (confirm with a lender).- Do a 5% down conventional mortgage if you plan to rent out current home and live in the new one for at least 12 months.

If I could rewind 7 years, I would’ve personally scooped up another property near downtown...prices were more forgiving back then.All that said, I’m curious..if you were getting back in the game today, would a condo with strong amenities but an unpredictable HOA top your list, or are you eyeing single-families for that full control?

I can proudly say I did not spend lots of money on fancy ring tones, as I never answered my phone for unknown numbers (which you can actually set your iphone to send them to vm btw).I get calls constantly about people wanting to buy a property I have not owned in 5+ years as well.
