conventional commercial with a down payment.Happy to take a deeper look.See underlined above.

If you are taking out a conventional mortgage of any kind, you can't buy in the LLC as it does not have two years of tax returns.You are also asking if an entire state is good to buy multifamily, which means you are too soon in the process to even talk about buying.

THEN, I plan to purchase the second home using a FHA or conventional loan (3%-5% down), for which I will likely pay the monthly cost out-of-pocket, maybe with some rental income support if it is a duplex.My concern is, I do not want to spend my savings or weigh down my debt-to-income ratio so much so that I cannot qualify for and pay the down payment and closing for the lending on the second home.Questions: - With the first home being multi-family, 75% of the rental income (or potential rental income initially) will relatively either maintain or boost my debt-to-income ratio from lenders' perspectives, right? 

Loan Programs: Conventional loans (>$7.5M), small balance loans (<$7.5M), lease up / near-stabilization loans, 2ndlien supplemental loans, student housing, seniors housing, MHC, green financing, etc.2.

I calculated her monthly payment is 1300.Since it is a vacant investment property where she will be taking a loss at sale and has been on market for 60 days, I am thinking seller financing may be mutually beneficial.I am planning to make 2 offers:300k with conventional mortgage.

Conventional 5% Down Loan (Owner-Occupied)If you live in the property for at least one year, you can use a primary residence loan with as little as 5% down.After a year, you can convert it to a short-term rental (STR).Loan types: Conventional (Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac)2.

Conventional real estate schools and universities are not guru programs!

Doing so will seperate your investments from your personal assets and protect you from liability. also, one thing you may not know is that you cannot get a conventional loan with an LLC.

If you can go conventional, go that route first.

Originally, I felt limited by conventional lending DTI.
