I know a few mortgage brokers who deals with people who don't show all their income on a tax return because they either get pay under the table or their business is mostly cash.

So to get around it, you pay the broker a higher %/pt. or under the table commission to get the loan approved.

So what are the thoughts of those in the industry re: rise in interest rates over the course of the next year...any educated reasoning for vs against rising interest rates?

Reason I ask is...I had a lot set to build on and now, the city has come back saying - no build until water pressure pumps can be installed to increase water pressure should there ever be a fire. Evidently, the home site is too high in elevation at this time that if the FD needs to put out a fire, there isn't enough H20 pressure. Builder can't be for certain when the city is going to get things installed- guessing anywhere from 3months to 1year!

I like rates now and price to build would be at higher end of what I want to spend already but if rates rise significantly, I'm not sure a lender (or I) would be comfortable with the higher payments.

Any thoughts?

Additionally, do lenders take rental properties into account as increased income or increased liability? (More directed at a construction loan scenario).

Thanks

Haha this is crap.

Most people have degrees in general BS.

People with hard science degrees like Engineering are doing fine. Advertising/marketing/general BS degrees are where the pain is

How does nobody know or recognize that real estate goes in 18 year cycles?

This has been proven lol. Next crash will be in the mid 20s so just cash out before then and wait

fack real estate

let the bank choke on it

I thought they usually look at gross income?

What is your interest rate right now? Surely you aren't too lazy to spend a few hours which will save you (potentially) hundreds per month. Heck, you can probably do it over PM to Griffin while you fap his threads.

$7.5k

etc etc

Heck, even around here you can save up for a few years and buy a house with cash (though, with these prices and current interest rates, you'd probably be better off taking out the mortgage and investing the money instead).

Not everyone lives in LA or NY or other places where home prices are ridiculously expensive relative to the average household income...

The final money grab/bubble inflation before the BIG collapse. Would not buy.

I don't know that its as precise as 18 years and choosing what constitutes a peak and valley, might be a bit harder to sit and wait.

Business cycles definitely seem more concrete to me.

I'm finding some pretty boss houses around our area for under $100,000. I found a 3 bed, 2 bath house with .37 acres for $99,000. I figure they'll take $89,000 for it and a loan of $120,000 would cover the house, taxes, some furniture, appliances...

Dudes. I think I'll be getting a house.

.

Typically people watch the market and then buy a house.

Did you go with Quicken?

You'll have a hard time getting a mortgage for 120% of the purchase price, lol.
