Are FHA Loans for Suckers?

Are FHA Loans for Suckers?

You can purchase a property in Largo, Florida using an FHA loan with just 3.5% down. Heck, sometimes you can even get down payment assistance to help with the 3.5% down payment. But there are other loans with lower down payment options. However, when you put less than 20% down, FHA loans require you buy insurance to protect the lender in case you default on the loan. This insurance… called Mortgage Insurance Premiums (MIP) for FHA loans or the equivalent of Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) on other types of loans… has both an upfront premium and a monthly premium. And, with FHA loans this monthly premium NEVER goes away… even when you pay down the loan to well below 80% loan-to-value. With this Mortgage Insurance Premium (MIP) that never goes away… does that mean that FHA loans are for suckers?! Well… not so fast… in this class we will talk about the pros and cons of FHA loans and see if they’re really just a sucker’s loan or if Largo real estate investors could utilize FHA loans in a beneficial way.

Having Confidence Modeling Retirement with Real Estate Investments

Having Confidence Modeling Retirement with Real Estate Investments

With rising interest rates in Largo, some real estate investors wonder what's a reasonable mortgage interest rate to use when planning out their next purchases.This episode was recorded to help real estate investors better understand historical mortgage interest rates and what is reasonable to use when modeling future real estate purchases.If you're buying a property in the next 30-90 days... just call your lender and get the current mortgage rates. But, what interest rate should you use if you're thinking about buying 10 properties over the next 10 years? How confident are you using that rate? How confident should you be?James discusses this idea and shares with you a brand-new, super-simple spreadsheet called the Mortgage Interest Rate Confidence Meter™ that uses historic mortgage interest rate data to tell you how confident you should be using whatever interest rate you enter.Watch the video version of this class:https://realestatefinancialplanner.com/having-confidence-with-modeling-retirement-with-real-estate-investments/Resources Mentioned In this episode James mentions the following resources: 30-Year Fixed Rate Mortgage Average in the United States from The Federal ReserveDownload the Mortgage Interest Rate Confidence Meter™ for Microsoft ExcelThe World's Greatest Real Estate Deal Analysis Spreadsheet™ Free Real Estate Deal Analysis Spreadsheet: Download a copy of the newest version of The World's Greatest Real Estate Deal Analysis Spreadsheet™ by going to:https://RealEstateFinancialPlanner.com/spreadsheetImprove Cash Flow: Book a consultation to improve cash flow using our proprietary 88 cash flow improving strategies.Real Estate Agent & Lender Collaborators: Interested in collaborating with us on the Largo real estate investor podcast?

Is Nomad Dead?!

Is Nomad Dead?!

This is a recording of a class I recorded way back in June, 2021 for our real estate investor group in Northern Colorado. So, why am I publishing a class that's over a year old on October 24, 2022? Over the last month, I've had several people suggest to me or ask me if in our current real estate market in Largo... a real estate market where... Prices are UP... A LOT! Interest rates are UP... A LOT! Demand has cooled off quite a bit. Rents are UP, but not THAT MUCH. Income is UP, but not THAT MUCH. Inflation is definitely HERE and likely to continue until the world... and yes... there is a worldwide inflation issue... not just in the US... gets it under control. ...if in that type of real estate market in Largo... should they even be considering buying properties? For example, yesterday I got the following email from a client: "So what’s your advice to buyer clients right now? Wait for prices to fall? Buy now but with cash? Use those builder incentive loans? Watch TV with the dog?" My response: watch the "Is Nomad Dead?!" class... that's still my answer. And, so I figured... I might share with you the class that I feel is a really solid start to the answer to the question... should I even be thinking about investing in real estate right now with the market... especially the real estate market in Largo... in its current state. One more thing before I share with you the class recording... while the answer I gave in the class is appropriate for today's real estate market... there is some additional nuance that I should... and probably will... take some time to add in future content I put out... so be sure to subscribe and be on the lookout for that. This episode was recorded to help real estate investors make better decisions about whether they should buy investment properties or not.
