First Deal!!! (Insert high five) financing strategy?

Caitlin Faulk
Posted

Hello BP members. I've been reading and learning from all of you for a while now, waiting for an opportunity in my area to jump on. While sitting on the sidelines as prices increased by double digit percentages this year, I decided to get my (financial) house in order, so when an opportunity came my way I was ready. I have paid off my mortgage and last week I negotiated my first investment property!!! Due to the nature of the sellers move, I have 8-10 weeks to organize and complete financing on my end. I’m fortunate enough to have a couple different financing options and am open to creative options as well. I’m hoping more experienced minds would give me their opinion on the best mortgage products/acquisition/strategy to implement for the down payment and mortgage  (heloc,refi,2nd home loan,primary). My current plan is to buy and hold (brrrr after 6 mos if needed). I’ve listed the basic info below.
