I found several duplexes in my area that are around 20k. I have the 30% to put down but not the full 20k. Would a bank finance this as a mortgage and if so for how many years? I would like to put the mortgage on 5 or 10 years. I am hoping to obtain just a conventional mortgage. Would the interest rates be higher since it’s will be used as an investment property?

H asked:


Because of their insight and knowledge of the business, investment options, and trends? Just curious. I would imagine ordinary folks may be able to be money savvy to a certain level over time but probably still no equal to the pros who breathe finance/accounting/banking work night and day.
cybe’s made a very interesting point. I guess “ignorant” could be a “blessing” in the investment world LOL? Perhaps the more one knows, the more confidence, the more risk one may take, and the more money one may make - or lose?

I have been in stock market for a little while now and have had some success by sticking to only a couple of investment strategies that have worked well for me. I am headed off to college to finally get my degree and follow my love of investing. The university offers degrees in both Economics and Finance. What are the chief differences between the two?
