 Although you cannot obtain a conventional mortgage for a property owned by an LLC, most investors obtain the loans in their personal name, and then transfer title to the property to the LLC.Technically, there is a due on sale clause under the deed of trust that prohibits such a transfer, but as long as the lender is not informed of the transfer, they ordinarily will not call the loan.

You need to get a letter from the borrower requesting the loan be sold along with an authorization to obtain information.This will set the stage to give a lender another option other than foreclosure.

Definitely not signing the Owner Occupancy Certification...

Obtaining a FHA loan @ 3.5% for a multi-family is one of the best deals in town.

I am from Singapore and what makes me get interested with US real estate is the higher rental yield compare to Asia. 1% monthly rent from property price seems easily attainable in US, however this figure can only be obtain in Asia during the 2007-2008 subprime crisis. 

While I don't consider it a "substantial" I do have a C property that Im in the process of attempting to obtain a HELOC for.

Is it possible to obtain a mortgage that includes funds to renovate a property, other than via the FHA 203k program?

Also I can afford to buy all cash, would that make more sense or would it be better to leverage bank and obtain a loan?
