I have a "how to use" section which goes over the principles of the rule rather then case by case 

These are professionals with additional training and a stricter code of ethics.

I am a newbie in this industry and have a lot to learn, however, I know with my work ethic and determination, I can become a successful real estate investor.

When I followed up and asked for a specific reason (thinking it might require an additional payment towards principle to put me under the threshold) they wrote back informing me that investment properties do not qualify for automatic termination and that PMI will remain for the life of the loan and if I want to remove it I can look into refinancing. 

keep in mind the gurus touting this basically have the same ethics as the wholesaler crowd..

If 2 work out you’re probably onto something and can get bigger while barely risking principle…  

The next day I spoke with a principle at Secured Investment Lending who was very responsive and I closed earlier this week.

I know you're looking to buy in the suburbs but I created a Chicago House Hacking Guide and the principles are overall the same.You won't find $100k SFHs in most suburbs around Chicago except the south suburbs close to the Indiana border.

kinda of a bait and switch but that can be done ethically if you do it right.
