How does people owned so many houses? How they do that?
Hi,
I’m not sure how ppl buy so many houses without any issue.

I’m having a mortgage for my house and my fiancé also have his.

If we go ahead and buy another house, would the bank let us? Coz we both have debts for the recent houses already…
If I go to the bank and tell them we have no houses and would like to buy one together, can the bank find out?

I mean we are capable of paying for 3 houses (rent 2 out) so that shouldn’t be an issue right? I keep having the idea that one of us has to sell our house in order to buy another house.. which I think ridiculous.. I’m not sure where to start my research.

I’m not sure how the system works, WHY people out there have houses after houses how the hell they do that???

Also, would it best to go for the bank or broker??

Thanks all for your honest advices :)
                     
 




I Buy And Sell Houses
There's some good advice here...and lots of really, really bad advice.

You ask:

If we go ahead and buy another house, would the bank let us? Coz we both have debts for the recent houses already…
ANSWER: It depends. The bank will look at your debt-to-income ratio--the amount of money you have coming in, and the amount of money you'd have going out. Beyond that, if one of those houses is (or will be) a rental, they won't count the full amount of income. So, let's say the mortgage on one of those houses is $1,000 and you're renting it out for $1,000. They'll only allow $750 of income, thus showing a paper loss of $250. It gets even worse, of course, if you're actually losing money on the house. But it's certainly possible to have the income and the rental income to justify another home purchase. It depends on your specific situation.

If I go to the bank and tell them we have no houses and would like to buy one together, can the bank find out?
ANSWER: Yes. The bank can find out. It'll run a credit report on you, and any other mortgages will show up on it. Never, ever lie on a mortgage application.

I mean we are capable of paying for 3 houses (rent 2 out) so that shouldn’t be an issue right?
ANSWER: See my answer, above. It is an issue because they won't credit the full amount of your rental income.

I keep having the idea that one of us has to sell our house in order to buy another house.. which I think ridiculous.. I’m not sure where to start my research.
ANSWER: You've already begun it here. A good mortgage broker can help you, too.

I’m not sure how the system works, WHY people out there have houses after houses how the hell they do that???
ANSWER: Lots of different ways. Sometimes they buy without putting any money down, or without getting a mortgage. You can do that with techniques called "subject tos" or even lease-options. Or, when values are rising, they'd buy a house, hold onto it for a while, then sell it and use the profits to buy two houses. In a few more years, they'd sell and use those profits to buy four houses. Sometimes they just are frugal and save their money.

Also, would it best to go for the bank or broker??
ANSWER: There are honest differences of opinions here. I'd recommend a broker because they have access to numerous different loan programs and lenders. Like going into a supermarket and having a whole aisle of, say, cereal to choose from. Brokers generally won't cost more, since they make their profit from commissions from lenders. On the other hand, an argument can be made to go to a single lender. Your selection may be less, but it can work out OK.

Hope that helps.


Your Friendly Jewish Accountant
Uhhhh, of course they'd find out, your credit report shows all your debt and mortgages. Those people buy many houses because they're not in debt and because they put a down payment on each of them, then rent them out. A bank IS your broker. Go to them and ask them to explain it all to you. Don't make a mistake in buying another house you can't afford.


Landlord
I have over 30, but it is not like I went out and bought them all at once.

Do not trying lying to the bank, that will back fire. Not just the karma, but they will see it very clearly on the credit report.

When you purchase you need to prove you have the income to pay for all of your properties, plus the new one.

You can not count any rent from the new purchase as yours, you do not have it yet. But, 80% of the rent you presently collect counts (it is my only income, I do not work).

For you you would need to live in one house and rent out the second property. You can then add your rent to your actual income to qualify to buy house 3. After you have been collecting on house 3 you can do the same to get house 4.

You are not likely to get more then 4 properties the first 2 years. The banks just want proof that you can manage. From there you can have as many as you can obtain funds (you still need downpayments and closing).

I buy when I can manage, which is not always, I can't buy anything else this year. I also only buy GREAT deals, where I can turn a positive cash flow immediately. I mostly buy 3 bedroom homes, as I lke renting to families, but I also have 2 farms and a few duplexes.

Banks will allow you to buy as many houses as you want and can afford.

This means you will need a downpayment for each house. You will also need the income to pay the mortgage and other costs of the houses. They will only allow you a certain percentage of the rental income as qualifying income, since rentals are not guaranteed. They need to know you'll have income to pay the mortgage even if you go a month or two without any rent. How much of the rental income they'll accept varies depending on the area, the market, etc.

You need to see a banker to determine what you can do.

well if you have already got a mortgage with the bank for your current house of course they will find out.
they are not stupid.
they don't just hand money out to anyone who walks through the door.

people out there who have a lot of houses have worked pretty damned hard for the money to pay for houses. Therefore having more in the bank and being able to pay off debts quickly and forming a good relationship with the banks.

Having other houses and renting them out is called having investment properties. Of course the bank is happy to lend for these as long as, like any other loan, you can prove the ability to repay the loan.

What would happen if a property went untenanted for a month? Could you still afford the repayments?

the only way i would buy another house is cash no loans .its to easy to miss a payment ..


Olivia W
Probably not in the uncertain times because banks are being stricter when lending money to house buyers


Tara H
I'm not sure why you need 3 houses, usually when people get married they live together in one house. But I wouldn't recommend it right now with the economy. if you can't pay all your mortgages your house with go into foreclosure.

Don't use brokers, they're too expensive.
You CAN try to buy a second house, but it all depends on your credit, income, debt, etc, etc. When you apply for another home loan, your current mortgage will show up so they'll know instantly.
I have three separate residences. I have a house in Texas, my permanent address, an apartment in Charleston, South Carolina for vacations and an apartment in Alabama where I'm currently working. I wouldn't want to own more than one house. One is a lot of trouble on its own!
