Most Realtors ,Â  Mortgage Brokers and Banks are caught up in a Perceived Reality that the closing cost for a Mortgage should be about 1 to 3% of the loan. This causes problems on all transactions.Â  </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN"><strong>Here is how:</strong><br />
</span><span lang="EN">Purchase Price = $250,000<span id="more-105"></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span lang="EN">Selling Realtor</span></strong><span lang="EN">â€”Tells the seller to expect to pay $3,000 to $5,000 in closing cost for the buyer because they are going to ask for it.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span lang="EN">Buying Realtor</span></strong><span lang="EN">â€”Gets the buyer to get pre-qualified and tell them how much to expect t in Closing Costs. The Realtor says, we can ask for this to be paid by the seller and they will pay it if they want to sell. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The costs between a regular 1% origination loan and a true NO COST Loan is usually 3/8th to 1/2% difference in rate. This means that if you could have gotten 6% with $5,000 in total closing costs, you could get 6.5% for $0. Why would you take a higher interest rate? If you donâ€™t take the rate, you are saying that you know the mortgage market is at the lowest it will be in the next 5 years and it will never be any lower than it is now. The reason 5 years is important is because that is your PayBack period. That is how long it is going to take you to make up closing cost you paid $5,000 with the monthly difference in payment of about $81/month.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">If you take the higher rate, then if the rates drop the day after you close, you can refinance and float down with the market for p and then Go Down and then Go Up and then Go Down), you will win.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span lang="EN">So with the example above:</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span lang="EN">Seller</span></strong><span lang="EN">â€”loses $5,000 off the asking price because an inexperienced Mortgage Broker or Banker told the buyer that this is what I can do.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span lang="EN">Buyer</span></strong><span lang="EN">â€”although they think they didnâ€™t pay for it, they really did because they could have bought the house for $5,000 less. That means they are paying interest on $5,000 extra for the time they own the house and they have to pay it back when they sell.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span lang="EN">Buyer</span></strong><span lang="EN">â€”could have refinanced in the next 6 months and received the 6% they were willing to pay $5,000 to get for Free 6 months later when the market does what it normally does and that is (Go Up and then Down)</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">We have know this for years and this is why we bring so much value to all of our customers. We keep track of your mortgages for you for life. We do what makes sense. Even if you have just paid $5,000 for financing, we will still be able to put you in our system and call you when it is possible to save you money.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How to Pay For College with One Investment Propertyâ€¦</p>
<p>Investment properties seem to be hot topics these days. Every night you can tune into the latest infomercial showing you how to make millions with â€œNo Money Downâ€. I have purchased these programs and studied the industry and I am here to tell you that it DOES work, but NOT the way they tell you to do it. As the Owner and Founder of Venture Investments, I believe that there is a right way and a wrong way to Invest. I show people the RIGHT way.</p>
<p><strong>Here is my story on how I got started&#8230;<span id="more-11"></span></strong></p>
<p>I invested in my first Investment Property in 1999 in Charlotte, NC. My goal was to pay for my childâ€™s college education with one house. I was a finance major in college while working on my MBA. I became interested in Investments after speaking with a lady who had moved a home that was scheduled to be demolished because of a new road being built. She paid movers to move the home onto land that she bought nearby. After all was said and done, the home appraised for over $200k and she has less than $150k invested. I WAS HOOKED. I researched the process and bought my first Investment Property the next month. I had No Money, and had to use a bridge loan for a down payment. I bought the house for $65k and it immediately appraised for 98K. I then refinanced the home for $78k and took out $13k and pain my student loans off. I got a 15 year loan on the property at 7.5%. This is how the numbers worked:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="page-break-after: avoid;"><strong><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-weight: bold;" lang="EN">Purchase price $65,000</span></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="page-break-after: avoid;"><strong><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-weight: bold;" lang="EN">Loan Amount $78,000</span></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="page-break-after: avoid;"><strong><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-weight: bold;" lang="EN">Appraised Value $98,000</span></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="page-break-after: avoid;"><strong><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-weight: bold;" lang="EN">Interest Rate $7.5%</span></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="page-break-after: avoid;"><strong><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-weight: bold;" lang="EN">Term 15 years</span></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="page-break-after: avoid;"><strong><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-weight: bold;" lang="EN">Payment $723/month</span></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="page-break-after: avoid;"><strong><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-weight: bold;" lang="EN">Taxes and Insurance $150/month (Total Payment $873/month)</span></span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-weight: bold;" lang="EN">Rental Rate 1998 rental rate $1000/month 2006 Rental Rate $1200/month</span></span></strong></p>
<p>I sold this property last year for $111,000. If I would have kept it, it would have been paid for in 7 more years. That is how you pay for College with one property. I had no personal money invested and over a 15 year period, it is paid for. The house when sold should be worth enough to pay for college for one or maybe two children.</p>
<p>We are constantly asked how to Invest in the Real Estate. Here at Venture Investments, we give YOU the same opportunity to be able to buy like I do and help you through the process. Venture Investments is the only company that I know of in the Charlotte Area that offers a way to teach people how to buy Investment Properties with Safe and Proven methods.</p>
<p>To learn how you too can participate in what I know to be a Great Way to Pay for College, give us a call and ask to speak to one of our Investment Specialist. We will teach you everything you need to know and how to avoid the mistakes that I made along the way. <strong></strong></p>
