Real Estate Investing School: By Ray Caran

These five methods are commonly used and not brand new techniques.

1.Lines of credit
2.Hard money loans and private money loans
3.Debt and equity partners
4.Standard mortgage financing
5.Broker and investor program

Lines of credit- Remember that you could easily get a line of credit on your own home and use that to make money. Don't overlook major credit cards as a source of funds but realize that the rate of interest will be higher than a home line of credit. A home line of credit is a second mortgage. The lending institutions will sometimes allow you to borrow more than the value of your home. This type of financing is really effective for short term loans.

We have have used home equity loans for a number of years for investing as the interest is tax deductible.

Hard money loans is money loaned from a private individual or individuals. They frequently like short term loans as their money keeps turning over. A major advantage of using this type of loan is that the money can be available in as short a time as 2 weeks. Check your local newspapers or join an investors club and you will find this type of individual.

Debt partners are excellent sources of revenue if you don't mind sharing the proceeds. This is one of the best ways to start your investing business. You do the leg work and join with a partner to supply the money.

Using standard mortgage financing hardly needs much space here. We are all aware of what it takes to get a standard mortgage so we won't dwell on this phase.

A mortgage broker will match borrowers and lenders. They work with several different lenders so they the ins and outs for the particular type of financing you are looking to arrange. They normally charge 1 point (1%) for their services. A good mortgage broker is worth his weight in gold!

A good broker will make the difference between making profitable deals or not. Work with more than one broker. It will pay off in the end. A good broker can get the correct financing moving from a short phone call.

As shown above it doesn't take a lot of money to get started in buying and selling real estate.
Dive in and go for the gold!
