You would have to buy a fixer upper and get it to that that 7.5% level.

I want to get a home equity line of credit to fund buying foreclosure home.

I am very confused about if my 1st property should be the home that i live in or should I buy an investment property?

It is going to change the perception of buying a home in my opinion.

I am not approved to buy outright with a conventional loan, but by going HM first and then refinancing seems like a solid workaround. 

Partner #2 married couple:  W is the buying selling RE agent on every house in LLC and Husband oversees contractor/project.   

Looking to ramp buying activity, but looking for quality wholesalers that have solid recs

The local bank allows me to purchase 2-4 investment units with a 30 year conventional loan + renovation loan for all fixes with 20% down The renovation loan is kept in an escrow and paid to the contractors as the work gets done.Anyone buying 2-4 units and doing it this way?

You will learn a lot whether you buy it or walk away.

Im focused mostly on the permanent financing part of the equation and dont currently offer hard money/ABL lending products, but I'm more than happy to connect you with everyone.
