When you are ready to invest in real estate, we will help
you find the financing that meets your needs.
When you are ready to explore the opportunities that real estate investment can offer, we can help you cut through the confusion in order to make the right decisions for your future. The competition for investment homes can be tough in many markets. You may need additional assets for repairs, or times when there are no renters in your property. Do the numbers work out in your favor?
Investing in real estate is more than just purchasing a property. Rental properties can bring in monthly cash flow, but do you want to act as a landlord? Buying a property at a low price and “flipping” it, fixing it up and selling it for a higher purchase price, will require some home repair know-how, or investing more money for repairs. Both options have pros and cons to consider, but either way you are looking at a tangible asset that can possibly bring in positive cash flow and tax deductions.
We have seen countless investment situations, so go ahead and ask us; we want to help.
Do you want to find property to put on the rental market, or will you be fixing the home up so you can resell it? The amount of time that you plan on keeping your investment property can help you determine which loan program will suit your plans for your investment property
Investment properties may have extra stringent requirements from lenders, including a larger down payment. We can help you explore all of your options to get the down payment you need, such as equity in your current home or other assets like money in a brokerage or retirement account.*
Tax deductions may be as much a reason to buy an investment property as positive cash flow. Did you know that you may be able to deduct appliances, mortgage insurance, or even mortgage points? Our team of advisors may be able answer your questions about the advantages of real estate investment.

Your loan has specific investor guidelines that must be met, and an underwriter will review your documents to be sure that you meet them. While an underwriter reviews your file, an appraisal will be ordered on the home. Additional information may be requested, so don’t panic if you have to turn in more documents. That’s just the underwriter working hard to get your final approval.

Before your loan is approved, you will receive pre-approval and a list of closing conditions that need to be met. These conditions can include verification that your employer is current and proof that homeowner’s insurance has been obtained. Once closing conditions have been satisfied, the underwriter issues a clear to close. Congratulations, your loan has been approved!

With an approved loan, you are on the home-stretch towards closing. The lender will send closing documents to a title company that draws up paperwork and arranges for signing of documents. Once the documents have been signed and funding conditions have been met, the title is recorded and the process is complete. You are a proud owner of your new home, and the keys are yours!
