There are lenders that will allow up to 85% financing on an investment property and 90% on a second home purchase assuming applicant meets program requirements. 

I maximized the VA loan entitlement and unfortunately the program limited how much I buy. 

you can call vestus.. they have a court house steps program.. you need 20 to 30% cash to purchase price.. so if you win the auction at say 300k you need to have given them a check for 60k the day before.. then they will convert to HML..

. - Strict local regulations can also sometimes increase compliance-related maintenance costsCost-saving strategies I've seen help:- Preventative maintenance programs can help reduce overall costs obviously - Some investors report success with in-house maintenance teams for larger portfolios- Energy-efficient upgrades can help reduce utility costs in the long runYour specific costs will depend on factors like the age and condition of your properties, your management style, and the specific neighborhoods you're invested in, but hope this helps!

Such a great program to honor our vets. 

You can also recieve a loan committee exception as well if the VA loan is ran under the banks "portfolio" program. 

My plan is to use a first-time buyer's loan program, live in the property for a year, and then turn it into a rental property.

Create a referral program and then regularly market yourself to other agents.

Are people able to buy a duplex in this neighborhood with some kind of down payment assistance program for very little down and the payments are near your asking price.

I recently contacted them and they spent a lot of time trying to sell me on their mentoring program that costs an arm and leg.
