With an owner-occupied loan, you can buy a house with 0-5% down and get 30-year fixed rate financing so you're not dealing with adjustable rates if rates go back up and not dealing with a balloon payment in 6-24 months which is plenty of time for an experienced investor but not a whole lot if you're new. 

Very few successful investors get by without experiencing their fair share of bad tenants/evictions.Selling tenant-occupied properties with uncooperative tenants is challenging in NY.

Lot of experienced investors told me I was crazy for taking this propject but I didnt listen to them.

My goal is to acquire and stabilize these larger properties using private lending to fund down payments and renovations while executing a BRRR strategy.I’d love to connect with private lenders or experienced investors who’ve used private capital for similar deals.

Im happy to intro you to some of the experienced investors in April.Are you at LSU?
