Lending Guidelines In Qualifying For Home Loan After Multiple Foreclosures

Prior to the 2008 Real Estate Meltdown, many folks owned more than one property.

• Many hard-working Americans who had no experience in real estate started to invest in real estate and many had multiple homes
• They purchased homes, rehabbed them, and flipped them for handsome profits
• Others purchased multiple homes, mortgaged them, and rented them
• Police officers, teachers, firefighters, mortgage brokers, real estate agents, plumbers, electricians, cashiers, small business owners, blue-collar workers, white-collar workers, doctors, lawyers, dentists, and military personnel all became real estate investors and they all made money
• Many folks in these professions made so much money in real estate that they ended up quitting their main jobs and became professional real estate investors
• They thought that the real estate boom will last forever
• For almost ten years, real estate prices kept on going up year after year after year with no sign of turning back
• Real estate values appreciated so much every year and many property owners refinanced them every year or every other year
• They did a cash-out refinance and used the cash proceeds from the cash-out refinance to purchase more homes
• Many property owners owned more than a dozen properties
• Real estate financing was extremely easy
• There were many mortgage loan programs where no income verification was required
• Many real estate investors can purchase homes with no money down
• Others purchase homes not only with no money down but got back cash at closing
• Then 2008 rolls around and the real estate market crashed like never in the history of the United States
