Mortgaging Out is an activity in real estate that's not too well understood by beginners.
Basically, here's what happens when you mortgage out:
You, we'll say, buy a property for $100,000 total price. You get a long-term First Mortgage for 75% of the purchase price, $75,000. You then need $25,000 for your Down Payment. You'll also need about $5,000 for Closing Costs.
Looking around for future potential buyers you see that, with a small amount of fix-up, you can sell the property for $145,000. You contact a Second Mortgage Lender who agrees to lend you $35,000 on a Second Mortgage.
You buy the property and come away with: $35,000 Second Mortgage - $25,000 Down Payment - $5,000 Closing Cost = $5,000 cash from Mortgaging Out.
You can use this cash for repairs, to buy another property, or bank it for future use. And since this cash comes from a loan it is not, in general, taxable at the time you receive it.
Mortgaging out can work in many other ways. We'll cover them in future posts.
