We get primary residence loans for <10% down, we have the power of creativity, and if we're planning smart - we also have the opportunity to ride the wave of interest rates because we're much less dependent on adjustable rate loans.• If you want to get involved in syndications or passive real estate investing but you don't have enough in liquid cash for the minimum investment, you can use your retirement accounts like a self-direct IRA to do so!

Again, a little more than linoleum, but last a lot longer, and depending on color choice, most scratches are hidden.But back to my original point, your tenants will be the primary driver of your success in real estate.  

Hello, I would like to buy my first home as a primary residence in Florida.

The market keeps expanding out and what were tertiary markets are becoming pert of the primary market.

My question is if i should use a HELOC on my primary home and using that as down-payment for investment properties?

I found another home that’s move-in ready, and I’d prefer to use a second VA loan since the rates are much better than those for an investment loan in this case.For context: I’ve lived in my current home for over two years, still have VA loan entitlement left (with a down payment), and plan to occupy the second home as my primary residence.

Where the problem arises is if you buy it as your primary residence (ie put 5% down) and then don't move in.

I was recently quoted as low as the high 5%'s on a FHA loan for a new primary property..these are attractive borrowing costs in comparison to the comparable costs of renting a similar property profile. 

My wife and I had help from her father with a down payment on our first home (primary residence) 3 years ago.
