Quote from @Brett Jurgens: @Jay HurstThanks for responding3.75%, 30yr fixedLike others have said, with that interest rate your best bet is probably to do a home equity line of credit (HELOC) to put towards an investment that you can quickly recoup your initial investment on.

On one hand, there're a number of legitimate tax deductions, credits, and loopholes that are not well-known.

@Tar-U-Way BrightYou can use the LLC to set up business bank accounts and business credit cards.

He would also not need any private money lenders to close these transactions -- his bank would be dying to give him a commercial line of credit. 

Our only debts are a 2.875% mortgage with a balance of $124k only paying $897/month on an appraised value of $325k, daily driver car of $370/month, and use a credit card for monthly expenses, but pay the balance off with every pay check.

Would it break fair housing laws to say we are not willing to work with the program since it's not a source of income and they pay on their behalf?

It’s worth exploring credit unions or lenders specializing in non-W-2 borrowers.

Credit unions or smaller regional banks might be a better fit.

Opportunity Zone Tax Credits helped fuel more investments in rural and under-served markets where capital is needed, but not much is available.

makes sense. so i actually did a 2-1 buydown FHA, i have a 800 credit score and locked in a 5.875% in today's market which is pretty damn good IMO... so the first year ill be at a 3.875% with about a $2350 monthly payment including prop tax/pmi/morg insurance/home owners insurance. lease is locked in for a year at $1400 a month which makes me only have to pocket roughly $1000. the way i see it, its cheaper than rent or mortgages in today's world!...
