You will also want to network with someone thats an expert that can help you through that so you don't end up losing money, or not being able to refinance.If you do want to take advantage of the percs of putting low money down and doing a primary, you'll definitely want the advice of an experienced lender that can tell you your options if you might move in a short period of time so you don't get flagged for mortgage fraud. 

This will be my first investment so definitely appreciate any advice or help in general! 

Some things didn't change, such as the requirement that the property be on unplatted land, so that definitely restricts the number of eligible properties. 

Hi Kevin,There is not a definitive site like for residential MLS.You listed 4 sites so far you have found on your own.

Definitely looking into the small 1-4 units given this current market, would love to connect if you're open to it! 

@Troy Welch it sounds like you definitely would benefit from tax planning!

The most important thing to do is either you or your wife need to qualify as a real estate professional (IRS definition, no realtor license required).

yes there are definitely options out there offering upto 80% cashout as long as the rent covers the mortgage even or better .

Then, depending on if you or your wife have a traditional day job, you'll definitely want to consider making estimated payments to avoid underpayment penalties. 

Hi Karter,Experience definitely helps and is sometimes necessarily for heavy rehab projects, but there are still options for you as long as you have enough reserves and credit qualifies.
