How To Make Money In Real Estate Without Buying Any Property: Become A Mortgage Broker.

Will Real Estate prices keep going up or will the bubble burst?

Who knows? Either way, real estate is a risky business. Tying up all that money and having very little liquidity can spell disaster for any investor.

In any hot market there are always ways to make money without taking any risk yourself.

Just look at Levi Strauss. He traveled west during the Gold Rush to make his fortune as a gold miner. But he found that it was harder than advertised. So instead he did the next best thing, he started selling to the miners. He sold them something they all needed - jeans! And he made his fortune without risk. In fact, many of the store owners in that area got rich selling to the people who had the ""gold bug""

If you want to make money on the real estate boom, I suggest you sell to the people who have the ""real estate bug"". The people who want to get in on the bull market and make a killing. Sell them something they all need- money!

You can do it just like I do, become a mortgage broker.

Become a mortgage broker and you can easily make hundreds of thousands of dollars by helping other who want to get rich quick in real estate.

There is very little cost to get started and no risk. When you become a mortgage broker, you can still keep your day job and work part-time while making a full time income.

In many states you don't even need a license to become a mortgage broker. You can get started today!

There is more demand for mortgage brokers today than ever in history. And demand will continue to grow. The U.S. population continues to grow. Everyone wants the American Dream of owning their own house. If you become a mortgage broker you can make that dream come true for your fellow Americans.

If you want the cards stacked in your favor you should really look a little closer at the trends that give more reasons to become a mortgage broker.

- The U.S. Population is growing exponentially.

- Americans are saving less then ever before - if someone wants to buy a house, they have to borrow money. They have no choice. They must use your service.

- As home prices go up, so do mortgage broker commissions. The fees are a percentage of the loan amount.

- More and more people are buying second homes and vacation properties.

- Over 65% of people getting a loan use a mortgage broker instead of a bank.

When you become a mortgage broker and work part-time you can work from home and keep your day job. If the market goes up - great!. If the market goes down, people will be selling their homes and investors will be buying. These investors will need loans from you to buy. You make money either way.

You could also be a real estate agent. But you'd have to drive people around all day. Becoming a mortgage broker means you can sit in your office while people come to see you. There is no need for you to go anywhere.

After you become a mortgage broker, life will never be the same.

Finding the Right Commercial Mortgage Broker

Author: Michael Southard

Make no mistake, there's a lot involved in getting a mortgage loan. For a potential borrower, finding the right broker is paramount, so they can take care of the loan details, and you can concentrate on moving forward with your new investment. To help you prepare in your search for the right broker, here is an overview of the commercial loan mortgage process.

First, determine how much you can borrow. This includes a few different things, such as the amount of monthly payment that you can afford. Also, depending on your unique credit and employment history, income and debt, and goals, you can estimate how much a lender will loan you.

Second, you should try to pre-qualify for your loan. Your lender should spend time finding the right loan that fits you and your investment.

Be prepared to provide information about your loan request and investment. For example, if you are looking for an apartment loan, you will need to provide information or descriptions about borrower (you) and financial information, the financing request, location information, property information and issues, and tenant information.

When you apply for the loan, make sure your lender will assess and approve your loan quickly, so you are not left in the dark about your investment future. Your lender should specialize in commercial loans, instead of residential, so they are aware of your specific needs.

4 Ways To A Low Mortgage Interest Rate

Author: Chuck Aikens

It is natural to want the lowest possible interest rate on your mortgage loan. A lower interest rate gives a lower monthly payment or allows you to afford more house for the same monthly payment. Here are four quick ways to get a lower interest rate on your next mortgage loan.

1. Shorten The Term of Your Mortgage. Lenders charge lower interest rates for loans with shorter terms. For fixed mortgage loans, try a 20 year or 15 year term instead of the standard 30 year fixed rate. A 20 year term is often 1/8th of an interest rate lower while a 15 year term will save you up to 1/2 of an interest rate. The drawbacks include a higher monthly payment and stricter guidelines for underwriting, but the total interest paid over the life of the loan will be dramatically reduced with a shorter term.

For Fixed Period ARM's (loans that are fixed for 3, 5, 7, or 10 years), the lowest interest rate will again be found with the shorter term loans. The 5 Year Fixed Period ARM gives you a lower rate without a lot of risk of increasing interest rates if you reasonably think you will move or refinance within the next 5 years. Note: The average homeowner is currently moving or refinancing at least every three years.

2. Improve Your Credit. Lenders often offer lower rates for select customers with extremely good credit, especially on jumbo loan amounts (loan amount in excess of $400,000 - 2006 Conforming Loan Limit). To qualify, you will need a credit score of at least 780 - a mark achieved by less than 20% of all credit scored borrowers.

On the flip side, if your credit score is below 680, you may find yourself being charged a higher rate or not credit-qualified for the best programs. Similar credit score hurdles may exist at 520, 580, 620, etc. The key is to find out what your score is and then work to raise it to the next level to obtain lower interest rates or access to better loan programs.

3. Increase Your Down Payment (or Equity). One of the key parameters for loan pricing is the loan to value percentage (loan amount / home value) of your loan. Borrowers using 95% or 100% loan to value financing will find themselves paying a higher interest rate. If you have access to additional cash, find out if you can get a lower interest rate at 80% or 90% loan to value and use the different interest rates to determine the best use of your available funds.

If you are refinancing, getting cash out of your house above 70% loan to value will cost more than at under 70% loan to value and the interest rates really jump at 80% and 90% loan to value. As you are researching interest rates, be sure to ask about the interest rate for lower loan to value percentages.

4. Pay Discount Points. Always consider paying discount points, or higher fees, for a lower interest rate. One discount point, 1% of the loan amount or $1,000 per $100,000 borrowed, will give you a lower interest rate on any quoted mortgage program. You will need to analyze the cost of the lower interest rate against the monthly savings that the lower rate will bring for your mortgage payment.

If you pay $2,500 to lower the interest rate by 1/4% on a $250,000 loan, this will save you approximately $600 per year in interest expenses. If you plan to stay in your house for more than 4 years ($600 for 4 years), then paying a point to get a lower interest rate will benefit your pocketbook past year 4 for the remaining length of the mortgage loan.
