@Cynthia GomezWe work with a few that will lend on new construction without a new build experienceDepends on down payment as well as potentially cross collateralizing it

So I dress & head over to discover she had our maintenance guy on the lower roof trying to remove the melting snow & ice.The ambient thaw had started & the elderly lady decided to open the window several hours earlier.....she doesn't pay for heat..YET!!!

Once I get that down I would like to start investing in rental properties. 

5% down conventional financing.

We are finally getting started on our real estate journey and have narrowed our search down to the Atlanta, GA region. 

Long story short, I put my binder down, told my wife to hold my phone and stand back.

I would always prefer to use as low a down payment as possible, but I understand that being located 1 hour from Indianapolis may present some challenges.I currently have a W2 income in Lafayette and am a licensed realtor in Indiana as well.

Planning a trip down there in May/June.

It depends on the HOA and other expenses along with your down payment though.

The less you can put down on any property, means more capital for future down payments.For a VA loan, if you are not disabled, there is a funding fee that the VA charges.
