Inventory keeps rising.

On my own inventory in Oregon we still offer a BAC of 2% and when the market is hot some builders offer 0 or 5k or like we did 10k flat fee.. for 700 to 1 mil of course I own them so I guess I have the right to do that ..

Inventory is way up from last year and prices are beginning to come back down to earth! 

I had been prepared to just get conventional financing. but if I need to  go another route, does anyone have any suggestions?

These Sponsors tour the convention circuits and roll out robust social media brands to get their name out and raise funds from smaller investors.

One big advantage of this strategy is you can use conventional financing with a lower amount down as it will be your primary residence which also has a lower interest rate than an income property loan.On your question about buying section 8 rentals, I think this is also a good strategy to add to your portfolio and you can buy section 8 duplexes in Lansing, MI for around 100K and its a great rental and investment market.To your success!

I am a newbie investor who is looking at the delinquent tax deed inventory held by various states.

There are some "no doc" loans out there that investors or other folks use, but the tradeoff is that the rate ends up being higher than conventional loans. 

It has been a great rental with a fixed conventional mortgage rate, generating cash flow from day 1 and already gaining equity due to the increased value.
