Why wait? Your portfolio might already be the key

One of the biggest challenges I hear from folks these days, whether they’re looking for a home or an investment property, is, “I’m waiting for mortgage rates to come down.” I get it. But what if you didn’t have to wait?

If you’ve got a portfolio valued at $2 million or more, you may be able to use it to access an interest-only line of credit. At the time of this writing, a $1 million line could carry an interest-only rate of approximately 5.75%, compared with today’s higher fixed mortgage rates.

What that means for you is the potential ability to purchase that home or rental property now, without waiting for traditional mortgage rates to fall. You may also avoid much of the tedious process associated with traditional financing, including completing extensive paperwork, waiting for approval, and responding to repeated requests for additional documents.
