Traditional financing currently in my 3rd year into the hack and looking for another.

Would it be a mistake to not take advantage of the low money down loans for a first time home buyers primary residence, and instead attempt to invest out of state in a traditional investment property?

And harder to work through those details with traditional lenders. 

I came from a traditional real estate background and got involved in land flipping years ago.

Traditional roof.

Non-QM loans are financing products that are outside of Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac and are non-traditional and because of that, they will typically have higher interest rates/points.

Nobody pays me to stay home and meet the cable guy or the appliance technician.

We log in weekly to pay any bills and then invoice the tenant.Most other utilities (cable, internet, etc) we don't get involved with since they are not requirements under our lease agreement.Good luck!

Hi Hugo, midterm rental can provide you much more cash flow than traditional long-term rentals.

So I don’t think you will see the same level of appreciation with mobile homes as you would with brick and mortar real estate - so i would recommend buying traditional real estate.
