Gerald,

Somewhere along the line, I don’t think your broker counted the income from the units.
You’ve got about $15,600 a year currently going out, which of, is about 31% of your $50,000 a year income. Gerald, I’ll have Neal Johnson give you a call or if you like, you can call him at (909) 944-0199. You’re a definite deal.

Hello,

I am new to this forum. I like what I have seen so far. Thought I would get some input on my situation.

Property:
Duplex w/ an efficiency over the detached garage. Roof is new & so are appliances. Everything seems to be in excellent shape. One renter is long term. Property is close to a college & stays rented most of the time.
price is $75000.00
rents are 450 per side & 300 for the efficiency.
Seller says he may consider owner some financing, but he usually doesn’t.

About me:
28 yrs old & live in Louisiana
749 fica & wife has a 768.
My J.O.B has a base of $50000 per yr.
I have about $17000 in liquid cash.
have about 1300 going out a month (house note, small car note & student loan). No credit card debt.

My question is, does this seem like someone who should have a hard time getting financed? I talked w/ a local mortgage co. about a 90% ltv. They said I would need a cosignor. she said my house note is hurting me. It is an 80000 note for 10 yrs. House is appraised at 115000.

Anyone have any suggestions? Also does anyone have a formula that is like what a bank uses to approve a loan.

I hope this is enough info.

Gerald
