The naca program will permit single home Duplex , triplex , four plex  so you can live with your wife in one town house and rent the rest 

Which program?

You will have to meet the criteria but it is doable.There are a bunch of lenders on here that have programs so get with them, like @Jeff Chisum and see what's what.

I agree with @Connor Hibbs's comment on terms for first time flippers and if this is something you want to start doing more frequently I'd look for lenders that offer some type of rewards program to gain better terms through doing repeat business.

I'm skeptical of most programs and gurus, but he seemed legit.

I have been working in the Cleveland markets for 10 + years with various govt programs, LOVE IT.

In terms of the second scenario, the upside I see is the option to get a different kind of loan (say, FHA with a lower down payment and other assistance programs for K-12 educators like me) since I'd be getting a new primary residence instead of a second home.

Sending a personalized greeting to guests when they book, answering their questions, programming lock codes, logging new bookings in my records and notifying my cleaners of them and any requests for early check in, paying cleaners monthly, ordering supplies, updating my listing descriptions about once a week even if it's just a sentence here or there (helps with rankings on the platforms, esp.

I had doubts and still have some but now it sounds like those may have been necessary for their loan program after learning why it's a lower risk and FDIC insured requires that.
