My name is Richard Pennington I am in the Raleigh North Carolina area seeking any advice on using an FHA loan or conventional  loan for my first investment property.

I use JP Morgan new platform by the name of Chase Story.

This can be a very expensive lesson/mistake.My lesson was luckily at another local investor's expense.

I have found mainly through working with local realtors.

Has anyone found lenders (preferably credit unions or small local banks) that do HELOCs on investment properties, or are okay with a tax return that shows income generated occasionally on a 2nd home?

Are you local to the northeast Ohio area? 

We have previous experience with Live In Flip (didnt know there was a name for it until after we had done this).

Out of state has cash flowing markets, but it is harder than buying locally.

I highly suggest that you try to attend your local REI networking groups and meetups.

There are a handful of front runners and you named two of them.
