Traditionally, real estate is purchased with traditional bank financing. A bank lends you money to pay for a property (almost always one with an existing home, or one well on its way to being built), and then you make payments for a period of usually 30 years. The theory, or at least the hope, is that the home’s value will go up, and you can either refinance or sell at a profit, perhaps trading up to a bigger house.
