Investing in real estate is a great way to generate passive income and create long-term wealth. There are a few different options you can explore when investing in real estate.
A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) is when a bank allows you to borrow against the equity of your home. This can be a great way to access funds for a real estate investment, as the interest rates are usually lower than other loan options.
A Hard Money Loan is a short-term loan secured by real estate, often used for fix and flip projects. Hard money loans are usually funded by private lenders, and the terms are typically more expensive than other loan options.
A Mortgage is a common loan used to purchase a home. Mortgages can also be used to purchase investment properties, and the terms are often better than other loan options.
Private Money is another option for investing in real estate. Private money is usually funded by family and friends, and is often used as a way to access funds for a real estate project.
Each of these loan options have pros and cons, so it’s important to research and understand each option before making a decision. Good luck with your real estate investment!

This is how ITIN mortgage loans work for homebuyers
ITIN mortgage loans are designed to help homebuyers who don’t have a traditional Social Security number obtain a home loan. These types of loans are offered by some lenders and require the borrower to provide their Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) instead of a Social Security number. This type of loan is typically available to those who are not eligible for a conventional mortgage loan due to their immigration status.
To apply for an ITIN mortgage loan, the borrower will need to provide their ITIN, proof of income, and proof of residence. The lender will also review the borrower’s credit history as part of the loan application process. The loan terms are similar to those of a traditional loan and the borrower will be required to make a down payment of at least 5-10%.
ITIN mortgage loans are a great way for non-citizens and those without a Social Security number to become homeowners. However, borrowers should be aware that these loans typically have higher interest rates than conventional mortgage loans. Additionally, some lenders may require additional documentation, such as a valid passport or driver’s license.
I am not a lender but I can connect you to some great ones that offer this product.
