OPM

Have you heard of OPM? That is the key to wealth. Other People's Money. Why use yours when you can use others? When you buy a home with an FHA loan you are using OPM. You put down 3.5% and the lender puts down 96.5%. If the value of the property goes up you are making a giant return. For example if the home is $200,000 and you put down $7000 and the property increases to $207,000 after nine months you just made $7000 on your $7000, or double your initial investment. Can you do that in the stock market? Use a Realtor buy right and use other people's money.

Did you know you can buy a home with gift funds from a parent or friend and purchase a home? Using an FHA mortgage you can put as little as 3.5% of the purchase price down - in other words only $3500 down- and also take advantage of an $8000 Federal Tax Credit. Why wouldn't you buy?

Receive a gift, get a tax credit, own a home. It can be even better. Work with a Realtor and sign a buyer agency agreement and have the seller pay your closing costs and tax escrow set-up. We can show you how, We can refer you to three or more Realtors who can show you how. Call now. 414-224-4732 0r 414-416-9194. We can get you pre-approved. Or at least put you on a path toward pre-approval.
