Typically the borrower never records the land contract (which they should)Pros for buyer - noneCons- tough to insure, could be easier to be foreclosed on, name not on deed, Also most buyers do not run through title or get title insurance as wellMost land contract sellers run it like it’s the Wild West and do not understand these are still consumer loans and follow state and federal guidelines

Paid off my student loans after 10 years of graduating.

IF you’re willing to give up a larger share of the total profit than you would be giving up with interest on a loan, then what you propose is doable.  

Hi, I bought a property on a 1st loan mortgage foreclosure.

My name is Michael and I am seeking advice on how to go about my first purchase.I bought my first property as a primary residence for $258,990 with an FHA loan at a 4.875% interest rate. 

This is a conundrum as more people are default this year than ever since 2009, but I think the reason is all the government assistance, and the extremely high demand for sub-prime loans.

We have it under contract to purchase cash for $1,300,000  and only want to put $600,000 of our capital down and find a lender to loan us the $700,000.

The benefit of real estate is the 5x leverage even at 8% loans, will nominally return 18-26%.

If it isn't for a bigger home, better school, work, to be closer to other family, etc then you could switch to a conventional loan. 

Should we open a zero line of credit (through home depot, credit cards, loan?)
