I recently learned that portfolio lenders are able to do 30 year loans on a duplex with an owner occupant with a 5% down payment. 

Approx 20% down payment for a property about $100k.Thanks, BP community!

Hello BP Community:My strategy is to predominantly market at REIAS and other networking events.Also, I plan to use a non-fundable down-payment to ensure interest in a sale and/or ensure I get paid while possibly continuing to market.I have some questions about marketing to cash buyers:1.

Land price is too high for what you can make on it as a farmer, so most of the time your cash rent won't even pay for the mortgage payment (it probably would eventually as crop prices rise over the years, but not to start). 

All in the budget is looking to be around $400k.Are there any programs on a FHA construction loan to decrease the down payment below 3.5%?

Two months ago I purchased a fourplex and double, the fourplex I payed $200,000 closing and down payment cost me $50,000.

@Larry Moore Jan and Larry Jordan run a meetup group in Blue Springs - they have a meeting Thursday Night - I think that is covering tax sales in Jackson County - their last email to me said that the list will be available Friday and you have to get it from a legal publication like the Daily Record or the Pulse Legal - these can get you probably the lists in Jackson, Clay, Platte and Cass - and maybe St Louis - just note that St Louis County and Jackson County do not sell tax liens, but sell properties after 4 years of non-payment so their sales differ.Look for the Blue Springs Real Estate Investment Group on Meetup to get more info about this event to learn how Jackson County tax sales work.

. $3800 a month mortgage payments total.

My fiancé's mother has a heloc out and agreed to use it to pay for closing costs ($12,000) and down payment ($7,500) and fix up costs.
