I actually found out today that the founder of the company Zack had no intentions on funding my deal from about three weeks ago and was stringing my loan along until today.

If you're helping me fund a section 8 SFH, then no.

In this case, you can use Rental Income from the units that you will not be living in and that income can count to help you qualify.FHA rates are going to be lower than conventional for you almost always, but FHA does have a 1.75% funding fee. 

Many claim they do not charge a markup, but then aren't transparent with invoices, etc. 1) If a PMC charges $x hourly, their markup is built into that hourly rate as they are NOT paying their workers that hourly rate.2) Many PMC's send you ONLY their invoice, or from their wholly owned maintenance company, not the underlying invoices from Home Depot and contractors.

During the escrow/title process, you are finalizing loan documents, reviewing title documents (HOA disclosures if applicable, title reports, etc), obtaining homeowner's insurance, and preparing to wire your funds to title. 

This means building a budget that includes setting aside funds for your next investment.

@Holly Thorsen see above for potential challenges tapping your equity in the rental.You only need 5% down for a regular mortgage, 3% down for an FHA mortgage - so why don't you have the funds?

My PPR note fund investment is a little different in that you can buy some notes from PPR and pay for the PPR notes using your Fund investment. 

SW MN is hard to find Landlord Insurance, all local insurance companies say thy quote you landlord insurance, but they realy quote you general home owners insurance.

Quote from @Adam Sieg: I’ve used all but the only company I continue to buy through is R2R.
