@Account Closed Getting a HELOC on an investment property is going to be tough, especially if you are looking to get a high LTV. With mortgage rates this low, why would you want to get a HELOC? Why not do a cash-out refi and lock in the rate?

For conventional financing there is no time restriction. But be ready for the underwriter to ask for a 2nd appraisal to confirm value. So the loan process will take a bit longer.

These loans are not available at this time.

Hey! @George Hausmann

Adding to what @Russell Brazil & @Adrienne Green have already stated.

Typically you go for FHA 3.5% down if you have bad credit, buying a 2-4 unit, or looking for the higher DTI. The higher DTI for FHA is currently not available, so that's not an advantage anymore (at least for the time being). So for a 1-unit property, I would recommend going with a conventional 3% down, which is still available with a few lenders. As long as you can qualify for the purchase on your own you will be fine.

Mortgage banking is not as easy as its made out to be. And if you want to be a top producer like Chris and I then you are surely putting in a lot of time.

There are lots of rules, regulations, guidelines to keep a track off. Which just not possible if you are not committed and doing it as a side hustle. You will end up screwing up more loans then you will be successful with, and will piss off borrower/realtors in the process. Not the best approach to growing your business as a mortgage banker.

I am personally looking to hire bankers, but no way I am going to bring someone on board on a part-time basis. It is bound to fail, and I would hurt my reputation along with it.

Hey! @Nicole Heasley Beitenman Is this a 1-unit property? If yes, I can fund you with a Fannie rehab loan (if you qualify) even if it is an investment purchase. You put the down payment and the bank will fund the purchase + rehab.

Hey! @Alan Mills To get a Fannie/Freddie loan (good rates) you have to season the purchase for 6-months to be able to do a cash-out refi. You can get the refi process started, but can't close until the day after the 6-month seasoning has been meet.

Hey! @Kyle Curtin, 2 yr income is a requirement. No way around it. But there are way to be able to meet the 2 yr requirement. Also, I see that you are realtor. If your income is commission based (not salary), then you have to have 2 yrs of commission income to qualify.
