A bad FHA appraisal is kind of like that. Now, when I saw &#8220;bad&#8221;, I don&#8217;t mean the appraiser was abusive, or cheated on you, or [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Let&#8217;s face it. Many of us would love to buy a duplex.
That is, if we could get a loan for one.
Tightened lending standards, however, mean a lot of us can&#8217;t qualify for a bank loan.
And that&#8217;s why we&#8217;ve begun to see the re-emergence of the contract-for-deed.
A contract for deed or CD, which is also known as a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;ve been paying attention at all to duplex mortgage interest rates, you know that they are historically low.
We&#8217;ve all seen and heard the ads for rates well below 5 percent interest for so long now it seems preposterous to think there ever could be such a thing as double digit, let alone 18, 19 [...]]]></description>

The temporary increases were meant as an incentive for prospective duplex buyers to jump into the market, using FHA&#8217;s low down payment requirement of 3.5 percent as an [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve all heard how important your credit score is when buying a duplex.
After all, the way the bank sees it, the higher your score, the more likely you are to pay off the loan.
In other words, you&#8217;re low risk. And that, to them, is worth rewarding with a lower interest rate.
So how do they come [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At the risk of becoming the Duplex Chick who cried &#8220;wolf&#8221;, FHA loan limits on Minneapolis and St Paul duplexes are about to change. A lot.
It&#8217;s important to remember that the amount of the loan you&#8217;re allowed to obtain is determined by where you live.
So, if you&#8217;re buying a duplex in Los Angeles or New York, [...]]]></description>

Sometimes all the political noise about a US default is easy to tune out. But have you ever stopped to wonder how it might impact you as a duplex buyer?
One of the fears economists have about a default is the impact it would have on interest rates. As the U.S. is already projected to spend $1.5 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes, federal banking regulators have some really bad ideas. Like the one they&#8217;re considering now; requiring a minimum down payment of 20 percent for any kind of duplex or home loan.
That should help the housing market rebound. (Sarcasm intended.)
It is estimated that if lending standards were changed to require home and duplex buyers to have a 20 percent [...]]]></description>
