Should You Use Doctor Loans to Finance Investment Properties?

What Are Doctor Loans?

First, it’s important to understand what a doctor or physician mortgage loan is. This is a mortgage loan you can get that allows you to buy a house with less than 20% down and NOT PAY Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI).

Homebuyers are rejecting more offers than ever for ‘tiny’ issues. What’s a seller to do?

Real estate agent Shay Stein remembers not too long ago when buyers pledged to name their firstborn after homeowners to get to the closing table.

Attorney Gives Rep. Jim Jordan A Scathing Personal Lesson In Hearsay

An attorney on Twitter clapped back at an account closely linked to Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) that suggested Tuesday’s shattering testimony before the House select committee investigating the US Capitol riot was “all hearsay.”

The House Judiciary Committee Republicans’ account which names Jordan as its ranking member in its Twitter bio labeled the astonishing testimony from former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson as hearsay.

“It’s literally all hearsay evidence. What a joke,” the post on the GOP account said of Hutchinson’s testimony about Donald Trump’s last days as president.
