Types of Financing for First Investment Property

[Scott Carlin]

Hello everyone! New member here and diving head first into REI. In this article: https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/finance-y...

The author talks about 7 different types of financing for a first investment property:

• 1.FHA
• 2.VA
• 3.Conforming
• 4.Portfolio Loan
• 5.Hard Money Loan
• 6.Private Money Loans
• 7.Seller Financing

What about conventional, ARMs, or an interest only loan?  I would think the latter would be good for a fix and flip since you're not planning to hold the property very long and you want low monthly payments.
