You can generally get the best terms (max leverage and best rates) on an owner-occupied house.

Never living in a flip but selling their person home or taking out a HELOC to then pick up 1 - 2 rental units.

I found an area I felt comfortable living in and I bought a house with an FHA loan.

Pop into the forum just on flipping and you will get a ton of value just from reading.

Assuming these are for short-term loans, such as for flips, @Keith Groshans, you could do what we do and let the borrower keep the money and pay everything when they sell the property.

@Heather Bailey When house hacking with a separate rental unit, ensure proper insurance by obtaining landlord or short-term rental coverage tailored for Airbnb activities, in addition to your primary residence policy.

This is my second time working with 2 guys on a house I am flipping.

I am very interested in real estate investing and flipping (I have a decent amount of construction experience) I was wondering what some good resources are to look at when evaluating a property, especially in the Dayton / Cincinnati area.
