The two are almost entirely different markets in terms of price points, returns, tenant quality, and overall investing strategy.

I've talked to a ton of lenders and if they know it's an investment property, you're looking at 15-20% down minimum (non owner occupied).

Some will offer a HELOC even if they originated your first mortgage. thank you for taking the time to respond, I will look with some credit unions That's a good call.

It's slower, but patient people tend to make wise investments.

Your initial terms will vary based on your investment experience, but generally, you want to plan on needing 20% of the purchase price if you're a newer investor and the lender will cover 100% of the rehab.

Since we have to overcome the original cost of the piglet.  

I know we can start with DSCR and refinance, but then you're paying closing/origination costs twice.

I'm an idiot that can't take the time to read the original post and see that there was a 1,2,3 list.

I have never paid a guru or anyone else to invest my money for me.

@Dan Wang FWIW - In the 1031 space we see very few investors who make the switch from "active" commercial investing to "active" residential investing.
