Step by Step Guide when looking to invest in residential real estate.

Vogue Financial Solutions has designed a Step by Step guide in assisting a client with any investment decision. With our extensive experience in residential lending and investment strategies, it is imperative that clients follow these guidelines set out by our leading consultants so mistakes or additional cost are not incurred during any part of the purchase. There are five simple steps to follow:

• Qualification
• Preparation

• Decision/Action
• Follow up

1. Qualification

We need to identify your financial situation before you look at proceeding with any form of investment. The following information will need to be considered:

• What type of Investment do you wish to purchase?
• how much do you want to spend?
• How much do you expect the investment to cost you per week/month?
• how much will the banks lend you?
• what loan structure and other debts would affect your investment.

Vogue FS consultants can easily identify the potential borrowings and cost of the investment you wish to purchase. In order to do so we will need the following information:

• Complete list of all assets and liabilities
• employment history and gross incomes
• how much do you think the investment will cost you?
• what type of investment do you wish to purchase?

Once this information has been obtained then we can identify your borrowing capacity and give you a Financial Strategy Report which will clearly indicate what potential investment opportunities are available to you.

2. Preparation

The Financial Strategy Report will outline your current financial situation and map out the effects the investment will have on your families finance security. This report is presented to you on a one on one free consultation.

This strategy includes

• Indicative loan structure:
  • What will the banks lend you
  • which lenders are able to assist with your financial requirements
