Regular home purchase or sale?

I work with out-of-state investors and would be happy to share my experience and how I can help you in your next investment purchase.

So it does appear to be possible to get an FHA 203k loan for a 5-unit & convert to a 4-unit.When possible, aim for the Limited (aka Streamline) 203k loan, as it's less complex, not required to get an FHA consultant, etc.Of course, this is based of the two following important assumptions:1)  zoning allows for this2)  and obviously I owner occupy for at least 12 months3)  the total purchase price + renovations are within the FHA loan limits specific to my areaWhat I'm confused about is the timeline or chronological order of the process? 

Hey Cameron, for experienced investors I can lend up to 100% of the purchase and rehab costs on 1-4 unit properties.

Part of rent is applied to purchase price. 

I purchased a property that needed a lot more work then intended.

The purchase price of this property was only $170K. 

I wouldnt give any consideration to what the seller needs in order to break even in determining the purchase price.

I am looking into purchasing a second (vacation) home and would love to hear your thought on the pros and cons of going a conventional 30-year second mortgage vs. using a HELOC or Home Equity Loan on my Primary Residence to purchase the second home outright. 

Looking to purchase in NV with current paystubs because income is a bit tight with returns.
