Owner occupied loan for fixer upper
Hey BP community!
I am coming up on my 1 year occupancy requirement next month and will need to move to Fresno ca for college (also because the market is so much more affordable). I have used half my entitlement of my va for my current home. I am debating whether to go with the no money down with the va loan, but won't have full entitlement. Or go conventional (Navy fed has 5% down no pmi) and qualify for a higher loan amount but ultimately I want to find out about how to get a rehab loan in order to buy a fixer upper that I want to live in. I know the va is more strict when it comes to "livable conditions." I would prefer to buy a home in Clovis ca if the deal is right.
