Conventional financing.  20% down plus closing cost. 

Rick,The down payment for a Primary home can be between (3.5-5%) down depending on if you go FHA or conventional. 

Maintenance is minimal with a rock garden and tons of perennial flowers.

I went with a 5% down conventional loan, which will allow me to continue to purchase house hacks if I want to in the future (assuming DTI is acceptable).How did you add value to the deal?

@Will FraserYes, I wasn’t able to get conventional financing due to my DTI, but after this tax year I will be able to square that away and hoping to change out of the LLC into my Personal name.

It's gone really well — I bought with an FHA and was able to refi into a conventional (no more PMI, yay!) 

You should definitely look at the near Eastside / by Irvington / Little Flower for better prices but stable rents.

@Andrew PostellThis will be my second investment property (I own a duplex already)Not much rehab is needed less than $10,000.I have been approved for conventional lending. 

But if you’re looking to buy a property conventionally and rehab it then no.

Fortunately deeding is a state convention.
