5 easy ways to raise down payment money

Right now while mortgage interest rates and home prices are super low is the time to buy your next home.  Here are 5 easy ways to raise your down payment money:

1. Save it.  First locate banks or savings institutions that offer higher savings interest rates.  Focus on your goal.   To buy a $200,000 house may require about $7,000 using an FHA loan.  You'll need extra money in reserves.  Put aside $250 per month and you may reach your goal in a little over two years. There's another approx. $7,000 in loan closing costs (this amount may vary), but maybe we can get the seller to pay that for you in the negotiations.

2. Sell something. One of my clients sold his Harley Davidson motorcycle to raise the down payment.  He said it was well worth it! How about garage sales or selling items on ebay?

3. Get another job.  There are plenty of things you can do to earn extra money.  For amazing ideas, read the book, 1,000 Ways to Earn Money at http://www.RocketBusinessSolution.com click on item #10. It's the best book I've ever read on this subject.

4. Ask your relatives for gift money. You'd may be surprised to find how many of them believe that home ownership is a worthy goal and will give you free money toward your down payment.

5. Raid your retirement account. Some retirement accounts permit you to liquidate or borrow money for the purposes of a down payment toward a home purchase.  Check with your retirement plan administrator.

Remember you can do some or ALL of the above!
