I have observed that there is a good bit of confusion regarding interest rates; Why they rise and what happens in the Real Estate market when they do.
Let’s face it 99% of Real Estate investors “Leverage”, A.K.A, use the other peoples money (lenders) to purchase property. In an effort to assist new investors with little experience in Real Estate and finance I have compiled a couple of documents to help you better understand interest rates and their affect on Real Estate.
Document 1: “HOW DOES THE MARKET AFFECT INTEREST RATES”
This document will show you how changes in market indicators affect interest rates. This document is very valuable because it will allow you to stop listening to the arm chair market analysists and trully understand what is going on with interest rates and why.
Document 2: “WHAT HAPPENS WHEN INTEREST RATES INCREASE/DECREASE?”
This document will show you the cause and effect relationship between interest rates and the real estate market.
Document 3: “THE RULE OF 72”
This document lays out all the ratios you need to know as an investor, like: How long will it take me to double my investment? How do I calculate rate of return, gross rent multiplier and cash on cash return? This document also includes a list of questions to ask your lender.
If you could benefit from the use of any of these documents please feel free to e-mail a request.
Yes, but I let the basic note go because I think that Pat Lawson was in good faith trying to provide information that would be of assistance, especially to the new folks…the forum is about the exchange of ideas and information and, in that light I think Pat’s post is OK. We don’t need the follow-on though.
That’s not the issue…if you provide free, helpful info, use whatever letterhead is convenient. The issue is you asked folks to e-mail you and instead they post to the forum!
Your offer is not only generous, it will probably decrease the number of duplicate posts from us newbees! I’ve thought of a thousand questions since I found REI, but have only asked a few because I know it’s probably been discussed before and I’m sure not going to be wasting my time by reading old threads. I expect these docs to reinforce what I do know and help me learn (in theory, anyway) what I don’t know.
