The Creative Investor - 8 Reasons to Buy OverFinanced Properties

1. Existing Equity:
(if there is some SWEET!!!; If NOT, then go to steps 2 -8)

2. Bumped (created)Equity:
(when the buyer has bad credit and minimal cash, or has no trouble with a higher price)

3. Up-Front Cash:
(upside down/or not the up front $ from your R/B* is spendable/really nice to have)

4. Cash Flow:
(a free house with monthly income created after calculating PITI!**)

5. Principal Reduction:
(Paid over time, each month, by the R/B and it eats away your over encumbrance!)

6. Appreciation/future value:
(it's saleable, even if there is to be none today)

7. Tax Deductions:
(use it or sell it to your tenant)

8. Leverage
(Use the last No Eq home to give owner of the next 1 Comfort : Performance Deed on the 1st)
