I have ALSO heard its not about timing the market rather time IN the market, so this is where a SFH could potentially be "easier" to find.Im constantly in a headspace where I tell myself I have to get really creative to finance a MFH or come in with a 5% conventional loan and fixing a MFH to force appreciation although cash flow may not be there the first year or two.

I want to dump all my capital into a lucrative foreclosure property where on closing I will own it 100% and then immediately have a cash-out refinance the same day to extract some of my capital back out.Not with conventional financing.

A conventional route would be about $3800 a month vs a $2400 Month.Also would it be possible to do seller financing until the loan assumption happens, or if the assumption falls through, how could i refinance the home to be the conventional that I am already approved for at the number I bought it down. 560k off market when home is probably 580-600 Comps but seller owes 380k. so Thank you all for your time and help.

SFH are valued based on comps and the income they generate is totally irrelevant to conventional lenders.

Most conventional investment property loans, which offer lower interest rates and 30-year amortization, require the property to be in your personal name.As a result, many investors initially secure the loan in their personal name and then transfer the property into an LLC.

House hack with a conventional loan in your own market.

The rates will be higher than FHA or conventional financing.

Curious exactly how does DTI come into play when buying a non owner occupied investment property with conventional mortgages.
