Thanks for taking the time to answer.
I am a 19 year old student (England) who is currently at university studying biomedical science. however i was wondering if it was at all possible to attain my dream of buying a rundown house on the cheap (say at a auction) and fixing it up to a reasonably high standard for either quick turnover or to rent. ultimately i would like to do this as a business.
so basically my question is to whether there are any ‘buy to rent’ mortgages or something that will allow me to do this without immediate capital.
Hi all,
I’ve tried to do a loan-modify, but the banks don’t want to listen to me because on paper I CAN afford it. The price owed is 520k and it’s now worth in the neighborhood of about 300k. I’m locked for 30yrs and have a good rate on the first and the second rate is ok.
I don’t live a lavish lifestyle or have CC debts. But little things like groceries and basic living expenses eat up most my free money. Needless to say, I’m sorta tight. If i have an emergency I have a tiny 401k Investment that I could tap into if need be.
I don’t know much about real estate, I do know that I bought at the wrong time! However, I don’t see the real estate market appreciating in my area anytime soon to reach what I owe on this house. I wanted this house to be a long-term investment and pay off a school loan. But now i’m still stuck with the school loan and an upside down mortgage.
So my question Is:
Even though I can afford it (barely), should I try to get rid of it? Or should I bite the bullet and let it go? Either through a quick sale or something?
Any advice is appreciated.

The bank received 85% of the loan with the sale of our house. The PMI only had to pay 15% to the bank. Why do we still have to pay the deficiency? The bank still received the money for the total loan then. I am still confused????
