There are also down payment assistance programs which may or may not make sense for you.While a SFR or duplex will 9/10 be the better investment because of greater appreciation & value add opportunities, you could even look at a condo and rent out the room(s) to help w/ your mortgage payment. 

We have a program that will go up to 80% cash-out with rates in the 3s.

Hello @Melvin List could you please send me more info on your loan programs?

Unfortunately, liability insurance, while absolutely necessary only goes so far; after the fact is too late to initiate an asset protection program, needs to be done ASAP.

Like a lot of people on this site I was drawn to multifamily house hacking because it allowed for the purchase of a multi family property with very favorable financing options (3-5% down) as long as you occupied one of the units as your primary residence.After speaking with multiple lenders they are all telling me that this is only through the Freddie Mac Home Possible program which has an income cap that I, unfortunately, do not meet.

I have the program set and my letter designed, so I’m moving on to ordering materials.

We have loan programs for all those options in almost 50 states and I would be glad to help.

You can use down payment assistance if you qualify through your State/County programs. 

A banker - someone familiar with local lending practices and willing to help you find the right lending program for your deals.

Seems like a great program but a bit much for my needs.Just need a bunch of Gmails to move to Google sheets.
