Buying a house without living in it

[Eric Gross]

Hi BiggerPockets, I am looking for my first investment property. I have found multiple deals with my realtor but he has shot down owner financing as a way to get the deals. Instead he referred me to his lender who seemed shady and untrustworthy. My goal is to get my first buy and hold and learn from this first property. I don’t want to have to live in it and I was wondering if there were other conventional ways to get financing. My fiancé and I both have good credit and steady jobs. Any advice would be helpful. Thank you!
