If I buy the home during $175,000 (that is the starter home in my area) as well as put no down remuneration down, the debt would be about $1140/month regulating the seductiveness rate in my area(6.9%) when I supplement in skill taxes as well as word as well as upkeep as well as my distinction (25%), it would be about $1850/month. Who upon earth would compensate which for the 3 room 2 lavatory residence with no groundwork as well as 1/4 acre? How could any one put no income down for an investment skill as well as still lease it out for profit? FYI- the starter home in this area has left up about $40-48000 in 2 years. The area is really hot. What to do?

Equity is a fancy way to say loan, so just have to see how your loans compare to one another.
Since the interest that you pay on your “Owner Occupied” home is tax deductable (even 2nd mortgages and Home Equity Lines of credit) where investment properties (Non-Owner Occupied) interest is not, I personally think it would be better to use the equity in your current home to put money down on an investment property. Plus, putting money down on the investment propertey will most likely lower your interest rate.
BUT, with all that being said, I don’t know full details of your financial situation and strongly suggest going to your financial planner for further information. If you don’t have a financial planner, I know that Ameriprise Financial Advisors is a fantastic, safe company to deal with (formerly American Express Financial Advisors until they broke away from them last October).
Anyway, best of luck with all this.
its a great idea… my family company does that …. we have increased our value in 10 years from 200K to 2+Million
