Hi Jorge:

FHA loans are for owner occupied properties, but you can utilize the FHA 203k Rehab loan to buy a home that needs work. Do you already own a primary residence? Or will this be the only home you own? Are you looking for an SFR rental? Or a 2-4 unit property?

Hi Ryan:

I would always try to stay in the Southern California markets if you can make a deal happen here in Southern California using financing or otherwise. That said, I have quite a bit of knowledge in the Pittsburgh, PA market since it is my hometown. @Michelle Mapp also has knowledge of Pittsburgh, PA and might be able to speak to the amazing opportunities with low barriers to enter that that market offers. There are tons of great deals with minimal cash required that will have net cash flow immediately. PM me if you would like to get into detail about financing a deal here or about the Pittsburgh, PA market.

Can you qualify for a full doc investment property mortgage?  Have you checked into financing?  Do you have funds for a down payment of 20%-25% for something in Southern California?  Also, maybe taking advantage of Fannie's Homepath is a great way to get into an investment property with minimal down in OC?

Hi Logan,

Yes, I believe I would qualify for a loan and have barely enough to put 20% down on a lower valued house in CA. Is a "full doc investment property mortgage" just a conventional mortgage on an investment property? I haven't heard of Fannie's Homepath until now. It looks like the benefit is that you can put less than 20% down and not pay PMI? Is that available for any foreclosure owned by Fannie? Thanks for introducing me to this!

 Hi David:

Try www.homepath.com. You can search Fannie HomePath properties there. They are all Fannie owned properties. Yes, you can utilize minimal down payments and no PMI on investment property/ non-owner occupied properties using the HomePath program. I am a lender and can answer any questions you have about qualifying conventionally or otherwise. Let me know if you need to get into more detail via PM or email/ call me.

I own a project home (SFR) in Pittsburgh, PA and would like to get it off the books asap. Please let me know if any of you investors interested in the Pittsburgh market would like a project that is easy to finish and can clear $30,000 in a matter of a few months. The project is almost complete and should retail for $135,000. I'm looking for $105,000 as-is today. I have a $120,000 appraisal in hand from August. The project will take less than $5,000 to finish. Call 412-478-3992 or email/ call the info in my signature below for details.

To clarify my response, purchase price = max value to calculate LTV for the first 12 mos if using FHA.

For the first 12 mos you own the property, the purchase price you paid for this property will be the one that your lender uses if you are looking for conventional/ conforming/ govt financing.  That said, this loan would be also be considered cash-out in almost every instance on every program.
