Whatever happened to getting a loan to buy an investment property with? They went out of the window with the world's financial health when Lehman brothers bit the dust, that is what. The continuing devaluation of real estate around the world is continuing to put pressure on the loan markets and the credit crunch is still affecting property investment markets.
