For those who have used seller financing with a balloon payment - how do you pay the balloon? If you go to a traditional lender, can you get a mortgage? Do you need another down payment? Other options? Any insight is helpful!

Hey @Dylan Lurk, do you mind sending me the information as well? Just starting out and would like to meet other investors in the area.

Hey @Antonio Daniels, hope all is well. I'm just starting out as well. I joined a meetup that @Zachary Elliott puts on. Reach out to him to see about the next meetup.

Hey @Sam McCormack. While it's not held in NKY (usually held at Madtree Brewery), @Zachary Elliott started a monthly meetup and a few members from NKY area have attended.

Hey @Eric Geiger . We met with Paul Sian, who's also an experienced investor in the Cincinnati area. He was great to chat with and we connected with him on Facebook.

Hey Bryan @Zachary Elliott host the Properties & Pints event. And is doing a great job of getting new investors involved. 

@Stephanie Medellin Yeah it seems like we're going that way with FHA.

We've put in a few offers with FHA and it seems sellers are being scared off by it. Sounds like seller agents are convincing them that FHA has very strict guidelines during appraisal and that sales fall through.

@Eric Veronica Thank you for posting the source. Still not sure how to properly navigate their websites.

@Andrew Postell

We were in the process of buying a house. We couldn't find it on the Freddie Mac site either. Only found out about it after our lender pulled our credit and then informed us that it was now a 15% down instead of the 5%.

Hello,

Has anyone heard about changes to the Freddie Mac Home Possible Loan for multifamily (2-4 units)?

We just got into contract to find out that the 5% down will only be honored with a closing date of 2/15/2021. Anything closing using a HP loan beginning today requires 15% for mf.
