Justin Fondren
Posted

What are the usual lending parameters for a person getting there first property with roughly a 700-730 Credit Score and trying to secure a home 200k or under?

Is there a way to have No money Down or Low money down?

Standard would be an FHA loan for your situation more than likely. Applying that to RE investing, most would agree your first FHA loan should be a multi-unit house hack. Which essentially means you only put down 2.5% down on multi-unit. Live in one half, rent out the other. Its simple in practice, however you need to make sure the numbers work. Theres a lot of content on here about house hacking. I would dive into that! Best of luck 👍🏻
