I highly suggest you to read, "The Ultimate Beginner’s Guide to Real Estate Investing".

We would suggest working with a local community bank that can understand your overall financial picture, and structure a line of credit based upon your available equity and your ability to re-pay.

Then I hear news that Freddie will no longer allow lenders to contribute grants to reach the 3% down payment requirementI am looking for suggestions to overcome the down payment hurdle.  

And are there any suggestions on who might finance something like this?  

I have used quite a few, but wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions here in Cincinnati.

Zillow Premier seems to have an effective platform--IF you've already closed on transactions.Thanks in advance for sharing your suggestions.

Any suggestions?

@Wave Taylor I would suggest speaking more frequently with the brokers on the deal to ensure that your bid is in line with others that they are receiving.

Any suggestions as to other sites I should list my condo on.

They may be suggesting to do the same thing from one property to the next, but only once a year, or once every other year, etc.
