Can I get a balloon NON OWNER OCCUPIED mortgage loan for my real estate investment property?
Hi guys,
I am new to BiggerPockets user, but I have been actively reading the forums about real estate investing. In my scenario, I am looking into buying a brand new condominium with no sold units yet. I am planning to rent out this unit in the condo. I know that conventional Fannie Mae mortgage requires 70% of units to be sold until they will consider giving me a loan. I was wondering if I can obtain a balloon NOO mortgage for my condo. Once the note is due, which would be 5-7 years, I believe all the units will be sold and then I can refinance and do a conventional Fannie Mae 30 year fixed rate loan. Or I can sell the unit before the note is due. Is there a such thing as a balloon NOO mortgage? Does balloon mortgages only apply to primary residence? Can I also make additional payments to my principal each month in a balloon mortgage loan?
Any opinions and advice greatly appreciated!
