Newbie Investor Financing question
Hi BP family! My name is John, I'm brand new to RE Investing looking to buy my first property. My question is would it be wiser to do a FHA loan with a 3% down and save my cash but pay the PMI or should I down the 20% and have more equity in my property. I plan on living at the property for at least a one year period. Is there an advantages to doing FHA vs Conventional loan? I found a property which had recent Cap Ex done and once I decide to eventually rent out the property after a year or so I would be managing the property myself. Any advice is greatly appreciated! I am so excited to be starting this journey! Cheers!
The property estimates the below:
Rental income: 2195
Expenses: 1762
Mo. Cash flow: 432
