Can someone tell me when this forum turned from productive discussion of wealth-building techniques to just complaining about all the things that are wrong with this country?
Sheesh...
OK, I want to play this game....
1) Higer taxes - check
2) Higher debt - check
3) Higher interest rates - check
4) Stagnating economy - check
Let's see, 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = ?
And what was your point? That political and economic factors are conspiring against those who are trying to achieve success in this country?
Yes, we know. We've had hundreds of posts on this forum over the past couple years that discuss the fact that the economy sucks, that interest rates are going to increase, that taxes may increase, blah, blah, blah...
Do you really consider any of that to be new information? If not, what is the purpose of reiterating it in every thread? You can reiterate those things as long as you'd like, but if you're not proposing solutions to the problems, then you're just complaining.
Perhaps my expectations for this forum are just too high...

What about aquiring low rate assumable debt? Like the kind you find on commercial RE? Or seller financing?
As interest rates increase, your lower rate note will become more valuable to the borrower and could be "sold" when you sell the property.
so, back to important, fastlane-related topics...
HOW DO WE PROFIT FROM THIS?
How do you suggest acquiring this debt? Buying it from cash poor hard money lenders? Any suggestions on finding this?
You arent actually buying debt, you are buying property with the debt attached. The actual debt is probably not worth a whole lot and will be worth less over time. That is why you want to be on the borrowing end.

i'm sorry. that was a stupid assumption on my part. you probably do have a million dollars. and everyone that has millions don't think the same way. so, i'm not no where certain of my statement and shouldn't have made that.Are you sure?
Higher interest rates!??!?! Bring it on!! I want a pay raise!!! (I'm a lender, not a borrower!)

In general, I normally think the opposite of what was quoted above. Hmmm..
Borrower will have a big pay raise if they fix in those low 30 year fix rate mortgages.
Banks will be hurting big time on those same 30 year mortgages.
I say get those 30 year fix rate loans in break even to positive cashflowing properties.
I too am a lender, but my longest term is 1 year. I don't want to get trapped as a lender with low rates. Got to be flexible. 12% 7 points is my going rate.
Les, I'm assuming your loans have the rates fixed, yes?
I believe MJ is talking about lending out money at rates tied to some index-- as inflation kicks in, the index rises, and his rates rise. So he gets a stronger return.
Yes?
-Russ H.
yes fixed at 12%.
And LIBOR still looks very stable, by the way.... Check out the latest:
LIBOR | 1 Month Libor 3 Rate 6 Month Rates Bond Index Current One 90 day 30 Day
I just had an ARM adjust to Libor + 2.25% this month on the 1st, and couldn't be happier. It went down from 4.85% to 3.1%
Cheers,
