These are some of the incentives that were being offered in August 2007. One local listing is offering a 1996 Miata as an incentive – what might the lenders think when they see that?

Jim, the lenders will subtract the value of the Miata from the sale price of the home and calculate the loan-to-value of the requested mortgage from the adjusted price. In other words, you cannot use personal property as collateral for a real estate loan. This is looked at differently than the seller paying the buyer’s closing costs. However, this strategy will work if you buyer has a large downpayment.
