Buying personal home

[Machele Freeman]

My question is pretty simple. Has anyone ever used the various means of finding property for investment purposes, for their own personal needs? Or rather, to locate their own homes? I am in a very pricey area, and want to go a different route other then the normal one.....getting a realtor, searching for a home, and paying a ridiculous retail price....in order to find a home? Thanks!!

If the home is cheaper because it is a rehab job,you might have to pay way more in non traditional financing to get it bought and rehabilitated into livable and full after repair value.Not every lender will give you a loan on a rehab job for your own personal use because they want the profits from a short term loan.

Anyone doing FHA 203k 3.5% down will. :)
