I had a super traditional W2 job and, BECAUSE OF BIGGERPOCKETS, made the transition from W2 -> into a non-traditional start-up prop-tech company (fired twice in one month)-> Then, I started our own tech-focused general contracting business serving new to intermediate real estate investors.I've more or less retired as a real estate investor (I still have about 50+ doors, but nearly every one of my deals went sideways for one reason or another), and NOW my ONE THING is working as a GC. 

Not all traditional lenders will refinance a hard money loan due to the perceived risk, but many specialty or non-QM (non-qualified mortgage) lenders may be willing to work with you.

It's always worth checking with specialized private money lenders or non-traditional financing options, as they might offer more flexibility.

They tell me he's 95 years old so I figure he's not buying another primary residence for himself.

Hello, I would like to buy my first home as a primary residence in Florida.

I found another home that’s move-in ready, and I’d prefer to use a second VA loan since the rates are much better than those for an investment loan in this case.For context: I’ve lived in my current home for over two years, still have VA loan entitlement left (with a down payment), and plan to occupy the second home as my primary residence.

I'm talking about buying with cash, pulling out cash from one house to purchase the next vs cash for down payment and getting traditional loan.

Where the problem arises is if you buy it as your primary residence (ie put 5% down) and then don't move in.

I was recently quoted as low as the high 5%'s on a FHA loan for a new primary property..these are attractive borrowing costs in comparison to the comparable costs of renting a similar property profile. 

I have a great locked in rate and want to use it to my advantage - without doing a traditional sale.Has anyone - or is it possible - to sell my own house utilizing the wrap around mortgage principles?
