Hello, I signed a purchase agreement for a new construction home as an investment property.

I have called 20 banks and no one does a 1st lien on investment properties except 1 stated they would if owner occupied.During the research I read a website, which stated that 1st lien HELOCS on non-occupied are illegal and not allowed by Federal Law.Anyone know if this is true?

Investment Info:Single-family residence other investment in Mcminnville.

Thank you @David RamirezI have been looking into Real Estate Investment Associations in my area to come across other like minded investors for better exposure.

I’m looking to connect with someone who has scaled a wholesaling or real estate investing (REI) business to $2.5M+ in revenue, especially if door-knocking is a part of their strategy.

Investment Info:Condo other investment in Worcester.

My wife and I have been doing an MTR-exclusive startegy for 3.5 years, and we still have a hard time figuring out how to predict vacancy, especially in a new market that we're considering.If we look at FF's (pretty crummy) data on their website we either see very few listings, so we think "no one is investing here; bad" or we see a lot of listings and think "too much competition; bad".

As someone with no experience investing into a syndication, is this normal, a red flag, or possibly ok depending on other variables?
