If like many people you know very little about business/commercial mortgages then your best bet is to seek a mortgage specialist’s advice.

As they are independent of any company they can really help you go through an easy smooth process and are there from the beginning to make sure your business gets off on the right start. It can be a confusing process for anybody, especially people who have never done it before. You need to think of all the options on what type of mortgage you want.

These are all tough decisions and a specialist will be happy to sit and go through the options with you, give you advice and really help you. This advice is essential for those starting out.

Those who want to know how much they have going out each month so they can budget around that should consider a fixed rate mortgage. This means the monthly outgoing will remain the same for a long period of the mortgage. After this time has passed which could be many years, the mortgage will then convert to variable rate which could see your payments increasing by quite a bit. Another thing to remember with fixed rate commercial mortgages is that early repayment penalties will occur if you find you have the money to repay early. You may be asked to pay a large amount of money. (more…)

With the employment market in many parts of the country in a perilous condition, an increasing number of people are considering relocating to new areas, in search of gainful employment, and new lives.

Trawling the internet for real estate news, one could be forgiven for getting a little confused by the sheer volume of contrasting commentary. For example, I recently came across an authoritative article, which informed me that the number of foreclosures was still climbing, and property sales were still falling in the US. Well, there was no big surprise there. Reading this piece, I learnt that poor old Las Vegas continues to reign as the foreclosure capital of the country. I also discovered that Texas, with a huge 35% rise during February 2010, claimed the top spot for the state with the biggest increase in the number of property foreclosures. This second statistic was the one that really caught my eye, as I had only just finished reading another article, published in the Washington Post, under the headline ‘How Texas escaped the real estate crisis’.

So how can one article claim that Texas has the unfortunate distinction of being the state with the highest increase in foreclosures, while another simultaneously hails it as a beacon of success?

The significant thing here is that a 35% increase, in a comparatively small number, can result in a relatively minor increase in actual inventory. So, if there were only 4 houses in foreclosure in the whole of Texas, and suddenly another 4 houses appeared on that market, that would be a 100% increase – but it is still only 8 houses in total. On the other hand, a seemingly insignificant 10% increase in a market with 1000 foreclosed homes would, in reality, see a further 100 properties added to the inventory.

As it happens, it would appear that fewer than 6% of Texas mortgage borrowers are in, or approaching, foreclosure. The national average is close to 10%. Nonetheless, a gain is still a gain, and 35% is no small figure. According to ForeclosureListings.com, that increase resulted in Texas experiencing the highest monthly gain in the US in February. In March, however, it had fallen back again, and Florida had the dubious honor of experiencing the highest percentage of foreclosure listings. In essence, figures can be misleading, and are capable of being manipulated to strengthen, or weaken, any argument or point.

Whichever way one looks at this, it’s pretty grim news. But it is worth considering that any news, good or bad, can be presented in such a way as to make things sound way better, or indeed worse, than is the case. With this in mind, it is essential that anyone considering buying or selling a house in the current economic climate, should make a point of researching the local market thoroughly. It can be a difficult task, deciphering the reality from the fanciful. Any single news item, piece of real estate agent advice, or wise family member’s opinion, may well provide a valuable appraisal of the situation. But only a wide range of expert opinions, and amateur predictions, will allow you to look at the bigger picture and, hopefully, act accordingly.

NOW is probably the best time to get into real estate: buy low, fix and flip (BFF).

Single family homes can be picked up at bargain prices, slight renovations to add appeal and flip! Create a money making machine and do the same thing over and over again and remember, single family homes ARE NOT investment income properties because they create no income – they just cover costs. Properties considered to create income and are truly rental income properties are residential multi-family income properties that are 2-4 units; this does not include mother/daughter single family homes. Why 2-4 units?

Because they generate income even if one or more units are vacant!

After you flip a few single family homes, you are ready to put that down payment on a 2-4 residential income unit or move into commercial rental income of 5 or more units. (more…)
