Paying Cash for a Home?

The question is if I have 100k cash and I wanted to purchase a house of 100k. Intrest rate currently @ 4.375% 15y, 2.5k closing cost 6.875% total 1y target. So then rent it for atleast 10out12months for 8% return +5% return on market value = 13% return on my money. So with 13,000 in hand I would sell the house. Reinvest into a short sale, or foreclosed home. Then repeat steps via you dont get screwed. Is this a good way? Oh taxes too.. yea yea but most investments will get taxed unless its a tax differed account.Im just looking to make a living on the side so that I can live the American Dream. by terry41156 from Las Vegas, Nevada.

Sounds like a good plan. I would even go as far and say, Leverage your money and purchase maybe 2 or 3 at a time? Hopefully not much to rehab on the homes and can rent quickly. What is the condition of these homes? Have you looked into HUD owned homes in your area? You would need to put at least 20% for a Non-owner occupied Conventional, FHA does not allow investment purchase. You can only refinance FHA Owner Occupied into an Investment property. So think about that, I lend in all States. Either way, let me know, lets talk about it some more. Email me rconstantine@myhsoa.com, my name is Rich. Hope this helps! RC

Yes you could do that, however, it might be more beneficial to you if you could buy more houses with the $100k and flip them for even more profit within the same period of time. You can purchase rental properties with 10% down and NO PMI if you buy a Fannie Mae owned home. Why not profit on 3-4 homes at the same time? Hope this helps.

sounds like you got it all figured out. Or you could buy 4 homes and put 25K down on each home. And live off of your return from rent.
