Summary

There are five rental property loans nobody talks about. 99% of people have never heard of them. 0% down payments. 5% interest rates. No W-2 needed. The loans we’re talking about today offer these benefits and (much) more. So, what are they, and why hasn’t anyone told you about them? If you’ve felt it was impossible to get a mortgage for your first or next rental property, the five investment property loans we’re sharing will change your mind. First, we’re talking about a mortgage with 5% interest rates, 0% down, and no closing costs. There’s a catch—but we think it’s well worth it.

0:00.0	Financing real estate deals can be one of the biggest barriers to entry when investing.
0:04.8	It's also one of the reasons investors stop scaling before they ever get to financial freedom.
0:09.7	And you've probably already heard of all the big ones.
0:12.4	We all know conventional loans, FHA loans, lines of credit.
0:15.9	But what we're going to share today are five loans you've probably never heard of.
0:19.4	In fact, these have flown under the
0:21.4	radar so well that we didn't even learn about them until we were years into real estate investing.
0:26.8	We're talking about things like zero down payment loans with no closing costs, 5% interest rates
0:31.6	and no credit check. Or a loan, you don't even need to go to a bank to get. If you've heard of

1:12.5	We have five ways to finance deals that often go under the radar. So let's jump into the first one, NACA loans. I got to be honest, man, I didn't know what this is when we were
1:18.4	when we were creating this show. And honestly, there's like a whole chapter in one of my books
1:25.4	where I just list out every kind of loan. And I didn't know about
1:28.7	this one. This is like genuinely a cool under the radar, really awesome, powerful type of loan
1:35.7	that everyone should know about now that I know what it is. Absolutely. So I did know about this one.
