📚Peter Considers 25% Down Payments Instead of 20% Down Payments

Previously, in our series of Real Estate Investor Stories, we met Peter from Denver, Colorado. Previously, we has focused on buying ten 20% down payment rentals to achieve financial independence. Today, Peter is going to go consider saving up 25% instead of 20%. Why? Because the interest rate for 20% down payment loans is about 3.625% right (as I write this) and 25% down payments are 3.25%.

Sample Scenario 008 – Investing $100,000 in Stocks at Fixed 8.97% per Year while Earning and Spending $5K per Month and Buy 10 Nomads™, Start Earning $2K/mo From Social Security in May, 2040

This is similar to Scenario 006 except in this Scenario we are adding in that you start collecting $2,000 per month (in today’s dollars) in May, 2040. We buy a home to live in with 5% down payment and lender-paid private mortgage insurance (PMI) instead and then a year later we buy a second home to live in, again with 5% down payment and lender-paid PMI.

Sample Scenario 007 – Investing $100,000 in Stocks at 8.97%/yr and Earning and Spending $5,000/mo and Buy a Home To Live In with 5% Down Payment and 1 BRRR With Nothing Down

This is similar to Scenario 005 except in this Scenario we are buying 1 home to live in and 1 using the BRRR strategy. We buy a home to live in with 5% down payment and lender-paid private mortgage insurance (PMI). At the same time, we find a property that we can buy at a very large discount and purchase it with hard money. After a year of seasoning, we refinance the property with a rate and term refinance at a slightly higher rate than the 5% down owner occupant loan we got for our other purchase and leave no … Read more

We buy a home to live in with 5% down payment and lender-paid private mortgage insurance (PMI) instead and then a year later we buy a second home to live in, again with 5% down payment and lender-paid PMI. We convert the first one to a rental property. We repeat this process waiting at least a year between each purchase to comply with the owner-occupant lender requirement to live in the property for at least a year. If we have less than $10,000 in reserves … Read more
