If I purchase a home in all cash would I get a mortgage or home equity loan?

Editor — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 15:58:27 +0000

I am planning on purchasing an investment property with 100% cash. I can purchase the property at 60% of market value. I then plan on pulling a loan out for 60% of the market value. Would it be considered a mortgage or a home equity loan? A mortgage currently is about 300 basis points lower than the home equity loan. I am hoping it would be considered a first mortgage because it would not be a second lien position. Thanks

Tax Question: Should I buy rental property with a mortgage or take out a home equity loan?

Editor — Sun, 28 Mar 2010 00:58:24 +0000

I am buying a rental property for $50K. I will put 10K down so I need to borrow $40K

I have 2 offers that will determine whether I will apply the mortgage interest on my schedule E for rental property or as an itemized deduction on my 1040.

Home equity loan against my primary house at 6.09% with $300 loan processing fee. 15 year note – 1st years interest payment will be $2452 – I think this interest would be an itemized deduction.

Mortgage for the investment property at 6.25% with 1 3/8 points. Total fee is $2100 including points. 15 year note – Ist years interest payment will be $2492 I think this would be an expense on my schedule E.

I am at a 28% tax bracket and have no other mortgage on my primary house.

To further complicate the picture I have $34000 in student loan debt and could roll this into my home equity loan.

What would be best for my taxes? Take the home equity loan or a mortgage on the new property? Should I roll my student loans into the home equity loan?

Can you take out a home equity loan on your current home to put a down payment on an investment property?

Editor — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 07:58:47 +0000

Just wondering if I put a considerable down payment on a home and built more equity over a few years if it would be possible to take a home equity loan out to put a down payment on another home that would be used for investment purposes? A rental property/duple/apartment complex etc….

Of course I realize that the home equity loan would need to be paid back but I was wondering if people out there do this on a regular basis?

If not can anyone give me creative financing ideas when it comest to purchasing multiple homes for investment purposes.

I understand a persons credit score tangible assets can be a determining factor but I have yet to build any considerable assets.

I make close to $250K a year before taxes, would that alone be good enough for banks to finance me?

P.S. – I live in the Dallas TX area and I am looking at properties averaging around $100K as rental properties.

Just wondering if building up equity in homes would allow me to borrow to purchase.

HELOC or Home Equity Loan on Investment Property?

Editor — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 23:58:31 +0000

I own a house outright in another state (TX) and would like to take out a HELOC against it to help with a down payment for a house to live in here in my home state (CA). It seems to make sense because the interest rate is lower than taking out a 2nd. I would also like to do this a few months before I actually purchase to increase my credit score and help my credit history. Any thoughts?

My husband and I are thinking of purchasing an investment property by way of using a home equity loan on our first home. Is this a smart thing to do? what are the down sides of it?
