Hi My name Is  Eloisa I just bought my first property to lived in, I used the 203k loan  that it was a little hustle.Just to share a little more about this loan that in my opinion was better than a regular FHA because the house that I got it was renovated totally the entire house,!! 

On the property before that knowing the market I was selling in I knew the Zillow estimate was 10-20% high.

However, if you are just looking for recommendations on what banks other investors are using, I am happy to throw my vote in. I

Also, how to know if the area that I'm interested in is good?

So, if you said, "I currently live in X state and I want to move to Y state"...then your lender would ask you to declare your residency in Y state - and then they would call your employer to make sure they are good with it, etc.   

The document also includes that the holding deposit is converted into the security deposit at move-in.  I

I really want to find something nearby that I can really get my hands on and be involved in. I

Once they are in, I don't really care where the money comes from as long as I get paid.

Any advice on achieving conservative underwriting in the market that we're currently in? I
