If you’ve never heard of Roatan or Pico Bonito, you will. They are two of tomorrow’s hotspots for fun in the sun. As we hear from Grant Winter, they’re both in the Central American nation of Honduras, a country in perfect position for foreign investment.

Help answer the question

When you convert your investment property to primary residence are you required to notify your lender and refi?
What if you convert from primary residence to investment property? Do you have to notify your lender? Do you have to refi?

Aren't the interest rates different for primary residence and investment properties?

    If she has an account with money in it, she can just write checks.

    Even if its 500 businesses.

    More often people first figure out or guess that the second business will have some profit. If the first business is profitable, then you bring the business plan to a bank and borrow the money. Go slow but if and when you can count on 20 or 30% profit, start numbers 3 through 5 the next year. Then you salt away some of the profits and retire when or if you want to.

    At the moment, t-bills. Better than cds. No state and local taxes.

    Long term–a variety of index funds and mutual funds with different investment objectives. Examples: PENNX–small cap stocks, SPY–large cap stocks, SWZ–Swiss stocks, TDF–Chinese stocks, IJH–mid cap stocks.

    alot of these old worn coins have lost a substantial amount of their silver weight through “circulation wear” over the years. I buy only 1964 Kennedy Half dollars because they are still 90% silver and not really old enough to have worn much.

  • psychic said:

    You only lost 60% in the market? You made out like a bandit! ;-)

    Awesome collection. I like to diversity in your collection. I probably focus too much on bullion and not enough of junk silver. Keep up the good work!

    Give me an e-mail. I have a CFA charter and have worked in equities for more than a decade.

    There are lots of different types of work in "investments" from trading, to sales, to research, to syndication, to private equity, to fund management and on and on.

    The most likely sub-segment that would need technical skills is the following:

    a) Research. This is where you do buy-sell-hold recommendation reports on company. You can work for either the equity side (stock analyst) or bond side (credit analyst). Then you can work for either the buy-side (mutual funds, insurance, hedge funds) or sell-side (brokerage). Typically, you need a thorough background in accounting, a good background in finance (as evidence through CFA program) and then an industry background that gives you a leg up when giving research on a specific industry. For example, your typical pharmaceutical analyst for brokerage has an MD. It isn't required, but it does help, especially for more technical industries like medical, technology and energy. Long, long, long hours. Bad job security. Very, very competitive. Bonuses can be very good. Politics can be very tough. You must be kind of a know-it-all freak (like me) in order to really enjoy this job. I am and I did.

    b) Corporate Finance. Instead of doing agency work, you're doing primary work. You're doing lots and lots of pitch books to land deals to underwrite IPOs, equity placements or debt placements. Once you win a deal, then you then do lots and lots of writing for the Red Herring/Prospectus. Job can be repetitive. Travel can be large %. Pay can be very, very good.

    c) IT back-end. This is only if you're hard core software engineering type. This is where you use your knowledge of finance to help design software. This is the flip side. Pay can be outstanding.

    Residence loans are normally a longer term, up to 30 years, and a lower rate.

    So if you have a investment property that you have now decided to make you primary residence I would check with the bank and see if you could refi it. It will probably save you money. However you are not required to.

    As for doing it the other way primary residence to investment property? I know several people that will buy a home fit it up while living in it for the required 2 or 3 years and then turn it in to a rental home and buy another home.

    to gunfreak1222: why not take half your money and still buy sweets (or as Americans say: candy) and take the other half and buy silver coins. A good compromise

  • The Intrepid Elite said:

    It was obviously essential. You can't build a business except by investing in it.

    Obvious question really, IMHO.

    Too lazy to go through the comments, but silver also kills germs.

  • GuitarMaster said:

    Become a stock broker. Build a successful and happy clientele. Move up into the retail and investment banking groups. Keep building your happy clients. After 10-20 years, break away to start your own operation and take clients with you. If you're consistently good at selecting profitable investments than your track record will attract money. Then you'll have 401k managers, credit unions and other institutional investors prepared to put in tens or hundreds of millions of dollars. Basically, this is a lifetime ambition like running for president. It starts from college.

    make sure your statements are coming directly from your mutual fund company, they should mail those to you on a regular basis. make sure when you make a depost into your account the check is made out directly to the mutual fund company, not to your broker or his company. make sure the address on your statements is your address. if you do these things, nearly impossible for him to be stealing money from you. investing inthe stock market and mutual funds is 10 time better than putting your money in the bank. you need to have some money in the bank for emergencies and spending money, but that is about it. invest as much as you can each and every month. if you are a good saver and patient, you will be a great investor.

    They deal with large corporations. They help them go public and get listed on major stock exchanges and they mergers and help companies buyer other companies. Big deals for big… as in billions… deals. You would need at least an MBA to try for such a job
