@Curtis Wortham - this method is the best. I'm a huge believer in doing it this way and the 203k is the gateway to getting you started. Couple of key points that really separate the 203k from other products include:
- ability to finance up to 6 months of mortgage payments while the renovation is being completed if the whole is listed as uninhabitable by the HUD consultant. This can be huge for your strategy.
- being able to use projected rents when purchasing a multifamily to be able to qualify
- ability to convert properties and increase or decrease units
@Abel Curiel - you are correct - rates tend to be higher- normally 1/4 to 3/4% higher depending on factors and timing.
I am a huge fan of this strategy (when done right!) and have worked hand in hand with many people doing the same. Your heading in the right direction!
Good luck and happy investing!
