Unfortunately in todays lending environment, there's not much there to leverage. 75% LTV is about as high as anyone will go on investment property, and that's for Fannie Mae type loans on conforming properties. 70% is about the max when you get into commercial loans.Have you spoken with any local banks in the areas where you want to invest?

(Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, FHA/HUD to name a few others)?

Any opinions would be good. 1st one fannie mae home, I could have right now for $53,500Could rent as is for 750-800 a monthtaxes $2,600 a year1400 sqft4-5 bedroom 2 bathnew siding and windowsNice locationGarage, nice yarddishwasher, new cabinets and central airThis house has some nice features but there is alot of old in it.

Any more than that and the notes becomes unable to be sold to Fannie Mae.

This is a Fannie Mae rule.

Thanks Molly & Kevin

@Lane Kawaoka, I appreciate the Fannie Mae breakdown.  

For SFR investment properties, 15% down with dirt cheap PMI is actually a standard Fannie Mae thing, though many banks have overlays that say otherwise. 

I don't think Fannie Mae requires a seasoning period , banks add there own rules.
