You will find that using your VA entitlement will yield the same benefit (100% financing) but with lower interest rates then you will realize using a conventional 1-loan or combo loan to achieve 100% financing.

Technically, the guy would have died from a "heart attack," but that would hardly be a full and honest description of what really happened.(2) he may have had a heart attack recently, been on blood thinners, and then some otherwise minor incident led to massive bleeding.I'd say there's also a good chance the whole thing has just been sugar-coated as the story passed from person to person.

As long as more then 50% of the entire property's NOI is derived from the residential portion of the property, it is possible to achieve as high as 90% financing (95 CLTV with a seller second).

For higher maintenance, lower end properties then a higher cap rate can be achieved.
