It allows you to take advantage of a low down payment loan.

Consider a HELOC for value-added BRRRRs or flips if you have a low interest rate.

Shoot me a DM if you want some help with finding a condo or house with a low rate that's on market.

Meet with a local banker & schedule a time to talk with a mortgage broker, they'll give you at least a baseline of what kind of down payment options and rates are out there.After that, if you're still wanting to research more creative options, do some looking into seller financing (a very hot topic with good, and bad, advice out there), look into private lenders, and commercial financing options.If you're wanting to live in 1/4 of your quadplex, then conventional residential loans may in fact be your best option as you can purchase that with a fannie/freddy loan with very low down, and use up to 75% of the income from the property toward your own income. 

Hi @Dave Tab yes for the low money down loans as far as I know you need to be able to show you are occupying the property.   

Some of the materials we choose and asked him to pick up (such as flooring) he replaced with low quality materials, I assume to keep more of our money for himself. 

Apologies if I missed prior posts asking the same thingI want to take advantage of the low down payment requirement however need to find a lender supporting this loan type.Can you please provide any recommended lenders for Homestyle loans (or even 203k) that serve DFW? 

But also with low debt or free and clear property that they can easily access any time in the future with a cash out refinance.

Low prices enable more people to buy, limiting demand for rental properties so rents decline (in inflation-adjusted dollars).Population Growth: In areas with growing populations, demand outpaces supply, driving up property prices.

These properties appeal to students and low-income renters, especially if traditional housing is limited.
