With Regret

Posted by Clifford under Housing

I can’t find a lender who is willing to give me 100% financing without the place being owner occupied.  I don’t want to live there, I want to rent it out!  There are some programs available but they required 10% down.  With condos starting at $300k, I don’t have $30k laying around.  I have no idea how to even get that kind of money!  But every book I’ve read, including the Rich Dad, Poor Dad books has told me the same thing:  Money is the least of your worries when doing a deal.  I’m thinking that maybe this means that I should worry about money at a later time.  I see so many people grind to a halt when the question of "Where do we get the money for this deal?"  Then any business ideas they might have had die.

Normally, I’d cancel my appointment with Carolina.  I will go forward.  If I must, I will live in the condo for 6 months then do a refi and get the heck out.  Then a renter can be in there.

Rich Dad tells me that I should never assume debt unless someone is willing to pay me for it.

Someone will pay me for it.
