How much do you really know about real estate? Take this quiz

Image
Can you buy a piece of a shopping mall?  See question No. 3 Real estate is an important component of the U.S. and global economies. For many Americans, homeownership doubles as a first investment. Beyond a primary residence, investors also can buy into the commercial real-estate market: Office buildings, multifamily housing, hospitals, parking lots, storage facilities, retail properties, call centers, distribution hubs, hotels and restaurants form a sector with its own economic ups and downs. In 2016, the S&P 500 recognized real estate as its own sector, separating it from financial services where it had been buried for years—a move some view as a portent of more real-estate investment to come and that others view with indifference. Currently, real estate accounts for less than 5% of the S&P 500 by market cap. How much do you know about real estate—and real-estate investing? 1.

HOUSE FLIPPING: A BEGINNER'S GUIDE FOR SUCCESS

Image
Flipping a house means buying a home with the intention of fixing it up and selling it within six months for a profit. Americans flipped 26,947 single-family homes in Q3 2014, accounting for 4 percent of all home sales in that period, according to real estate data firm Realtytrac. The average gross return for investors was $75,990 per home, up 2 percent from Q2. Flipping houses can be profitable, particularly when home values are rising and interest rates remain at historically low levels. The Federal Housing Administration stopped enforcing anti-flipping regulations—which prohibited insuring any home for less than 90 days—in 2010. If you're looking to get into the home flipping business, follow these four guidelines for the best chance of success.

4 Things You Should Never Do After You Get Pre-approved For A Mortgage

Image
You've done the work to clean up your credit score, scrape together a down payment and pry a preapproval letter from your mortgage lender. Cheers! Getting preapproved is a smart move, especially in a seller's market characterized by tight inventories and, in some regions, bidding wars. Having a lender's letter in hand signals to sellers that you're a legit buyer whose offer merits serious consideration. Even so, a preapproval letter is just a conditional commitment. It can be withdrawn if your financial situation changes in a way that makes your lender nervous. The best advice? "Maintain the status quo," says Scott Schang, branch manager at BuyWise Mortgage in Anaheim, California. There are a few surefire ways to get rejected after you've been preapproved. Among them: Quitting your job There's nothing wrong with leaving a job to take a similar or better-paying position at another company, so long as you remain a full-time employee who get...

1.25% Mortgage! is it possible??!!

"Option Arm" What You Need To Know Seems like we all want the latest and hottest "thing" these days, and even some mortgage loans are no exception. The lending industry seems intent on seeing everyone in America become a homeowner by introducing new adjustable rate loan products that give a false impression that home ownership is both cheap and affordable despite soaring home prices. Contrary to the good advice of many financial experts, more and more would-be and current homeowners are being lured into loans that can backfire and possibly even render you homeless in a few years if your income cannot keep pace with increasing monthly mortgage payments and a rising interest rate environment. One of these adjustable loan products introduced to the average consumer is the "Option ARM" home loan, also known by several names like "Pick-A-Pay Loan", the "Flex Pay Loan", "Flex Option ARM", and "Pay Option ARM", among others...
