Best way to get money to purchase a home?

Posted at: 2015-05-24 
A little background info about myself.. I'm 20 yrs old trying to buy an investment property. I have excellent credit 720+, a good job, and im on the house deed to my moms investment property and all rent checks are made out to me but are actually hers.. (Purpose of this was to "show" banks/lenders I have other money coming in)

My main question is which is the best way to go about getting money to purchase a house. 30-40k range. I already have $15k saved up. (School loans + line of credit). My other questions are..

1. Can you get preappproved for more than 1 loan at a time?

2. Can you have more then one line of credit

3. Does having a line a credit factor in to the decision for banks lending you money?

Someone please assist me in this. thank you in advance

It will be difficult to get a mortgage loan since most banks will only allow you to have a $50,000 mortgage loan at minimum. You may have to get a personal loan, which will be closer to 8% interest, which kind of makes your credit score meaningless. I'd ask your bank first if you can get a mortgage of 30-40k. If they say that the minimum is 50k for a mortgage loan then you'll either need to get a personal loan with a much higher interest rate or find an investment property higher than 30-40k.

Hope this helped

Um, these sound like loans to me. You need your own saved up money (and not borrowed) to buy a property.

1. Two years of steady employment

2. High credit scores

3. Money for down payment & closing costs.

I doubt you qualify because of 1 & 2 & (probably) 3 .

I dont have a great awnser for you but your doing pretty good in my opinion go with your gut and do some thourough research

You "get money" by saving it up.
