USDA, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, etc. 

Just to elaborate on the above answers, Freddie Mac requires a two year rental history so you would need to go with a Fannie Mae loan.

Hi @Garrett McIntyre I am not familiar with HUD Section 8 financing but rather Freddie Mac Section 8.If I can answer any questions, let  me know.

There are two types of investor loans,the highly restrictive Conventional Mortgage (Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac) and the much less restrictive and Investor Friendly Non-QM (Non-Qualified Mortgage).Conventional rates may start off from the 5s while Non-QM rates may start in the mid 5's to mid 6's but can go much higher if your credit is below 700. 

I'm talking about issues like how to handle the security deposit, what kinds of extra security devices, smoke detectors, etc. are required in a rental property.If that's the purpose of the class, then it's not a bad idea don't cha know.

@Scott Mac That's definitely an option, but I have other properties with them and it sounds like a pain to move them all over. 

Do a rehab and then refinance to a cash out at 70-75% on a Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac loan, to get most if not all your up front money back out the deal.

Growing up in Israel, I witnessed their water conservation techniques and when I found out that U.S. markets lacked a tamper-proof conservation device for residential showers, I was inspired.

Account Closed I've been told by two lenders that because their fixed rate, fixed term loans are underwritten by Freddie Mac (other one was Fannie Mae) that I'm unable to use an LLC as the borrower.  

Freddie Mac will go for 20% down if owner occupied.
