Max. credit score that helps?Reserves?New Fannie Mae Reserve Requirements for Investors with Multiple Properties OwnedThe Old requirements were six months Principle, Interest, Taxes, and Insurance (PITI) on the subject property and two on all other properties up to 4 leveraged 1 – 4 family properties excluding the primary residence. Properties 5 – 10 would require six month PITI on all properties.The New requirements are based on a percentage of the unpaid principal balance on each loan excluding the primary residence. If a borrower has 2-4 financed properties, the reserves of 2% of the unpaid principal mortgage balances are required, excluding the principal residence and the subject property.  If a borrower has 5 - 6 financed properties, 4% of the unpaid principal mortgage balances are required, excluding the principal residence and the subject property. If a borrower has 7 to 10 financed properties, 6% of the unpaid principal mortgage balances are required, excluding the principal residence and the subject property.The aggregate UPB calculation does not include the mortgages and HELOCs that are on              the subject property,              the borrower’s principal residence,              properties that are sold or pending sale, and              accounts that will be paid by closing.The subject property will still have monthly reserve requirements based on the total mortgage payment (PITI). Reserves are funds that you have access to liquid or non-liquid. Reserves are funds you need to have after the closing your transaction. Funds for reserves cannot be your funds for down payment or closing cost.Fannie Mae now will allow for 100% of the Non-Liquid funds, not 60%Non-Liquid funds can be used for reserve requirements.” IRA’s 401K’sSEP Funds  Gifts are NOT allowed on an investment property.     Investor interest rates how much higher than owner-occupied?     Mortgage sequencing. Example: if buyer wants to buy in Memphis today, Jacksonville next month, how should they plan?     Overall, lending climate more lose or tighter than 1 year ago? 5 years ago?     What should a prospective borrower do before contacting you?     1031 exchanges Cost and funding     What cost are covered in the exchangeWhat is UP with interest rates?4 Factors that determine your mortgage interest rate: Credit ScoreCredit Scores Adjustments  740 +  740 – 720  720 – 700  700 – 680  680 – 640  640 – 620 % of down payment 20% or 25% Loan Amount Adjustments Property TypeWhat about the 15 Year fixed?Does it make since to pay points?What is the difference between Mortgage Brokers and Mortgage Bankers?What are overlays?Does Fannie Mae have a black list?Are Appraisals regulated and by who?Is there an appraisal black list?What happens if the appraisal does not come in a contract price?Closing cost differences between lendersShould I pay cash for my investment properties or use leverage?The next example will show the benefits of using 20% down leveraging for properties versus buying one property and paying CASH.If you pay $150,000 in cash for one property, your net cash flow is $1245.00. By putting 20% down with an 80% loan to value and a 5% interest rate, your net cash flow is reduced to $600.81. Let’s not stop there. Keep in mind that 20% down payment on a $150,000 home is only $30,000. If you bought FIVE $150,000 homes and put 20% down on each with the same loan terms and monthly rents, you could increase your return on investment by $1759.05 a month to $3004.05. Invest your money wisely.The net cash flows do not take into account the annual city, county and state property taxes and the annual hazard insurance. The numbers may vary considerately by the taxing authorities. You will have to include that information in your bottom line.Graham W.

I'm good with math! ________Here are the Show Notes________ Erin Lowry is the author of Broke Millenial, a book about how to stop scraping by and start getting your financial life in order. She talks about how she learned about finances at a young age, how she gave up her dream school so she could live her dream life, and how living in New York inspired her to write her book, Broke Millenial. "Invest your spare change," may be a catchy line but you really can't invest your spare change to wealth. It has to be more than spare change. In the financial world, you are above nothing. Just because you have a college education doesn't mean that is your way out of financial difficulty. You also need to be prepared to take non-professional jobs or jobs that might be below you. Just like in any financial goal you have to figure out how to take a high-level idea and break it down into smaller parts. Think of whatever your long-term financial goals are and work backwards to break it down into something that is actually more achievable. A lot of people in their early twenties have beautiful, lofty dreams but no tangible steps on how to get themselves there.   Podcasts are great sources of information. Saving is important but earning more is bigger. To earn more is a key part of building wealth.  The biggest thing when it comes to feeling in control of your money is that you have to identify what you truly value. Don't allow other people to dictate where you should spend your money. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
