Always willing to lend advice based on my experience :-)

Based in Los Angeles since 1997, he has completed over 2.5 billion worth of transactions in Southern California and other strategic markets throughout the United States.

Approval is also based off of your credit score, so make sure your score is up to par and you've done all your research on which financial institution you plan to go with.

So here is a sample scenario:$60,000 purchase price25% down = $15k, advanced from the line of credit$45k purchase money loan based upon the value of the homeThe loan rate for the purchase money would be around 5-5.25%, the line of credit rate would be in the 5.25%-5.50% range.

Purchase based on sales comparables, at a discount, and have a good idea of what your operating expenses will be as well as what market rents are to get an idea of your return.
