Real Estate Investment 101

Jumbo loans require a great amount of intelligence when choose a loan program. A 1 million dollar loan for instance, the borrower is not going to choose a long term loan such as a 30 year fix or 15 year. There would be no point because they would end up paying millions in interest over the span of that time.
The right loan for Jumbo Amounts would be an Option Arm, if the property is in an area where the appreciation rate exceeds the negative amortization. Option Arm is also know as pick your payment because you have the choice of picking how much you would like to pay each month. As low 1% to about 5.5% depending on the situation. This is the best investment strategy for a property of that size. If you choose to pay the minimum of 1% monthly, the loan amount does amortize and increase, but is countered by the appreciation rate especially in California. Other loans that may be just as appealing would be interest only loans on a 2/3/5/7 Year Arm

Kevin,

Take it easy. You have been posting nothing but mortgage stuff, as if we are all going to jump on the phone and call you for a mortgage right away.

Not.

I welcome you to our community, and if you become a participating member I am sure peolpe will begin to use your services. But to jump into a new forum where you know no one and sort of soft sell us is not a good idea.

Again, you are very, very welcome here... just try to ease off on the selling.

Thanks.

And anyone who needs "Real Estate 101" won't be looking for a jumbo loan anyway. They'll be looking for info like how to find the right property, how to manage tenants, legal responsibilities etc. Finance is just a tiny part of the real estate investment equation.

I agree, it is not about how big is your company, it is about how will you manage it.. you really need to give your time and dedication in any buisness especially real estate business..And I agree it is also important the right property, how to manage tenants, legal responsibilities etc..
