I am definitely walking a non-traditional route in real estate, but truly enjoying the journey.

Traditional banks , online lenders or?

We need more startups, funding and pro-business policies in traditionally blue-collar industries!

Planning to purchase in Phx,Az and surrounding areas, my equifax score is 700, experian 645,no debt whatsoever, have 1099 for 2022 and 2023 (required 2yrs), on my 1099s it says i make 135k per year, do not have tax returns (yea, yea), im planning to first start with my bank wells fargo.This would be my first home and at 1st plan to live in it, possible house hack, going for a -$300k loan. should i go traditional, fha , i plan to be on a fixed rate so I dont get surprises later on.In my situation, what down payment amount do you think will be needed .

The sad truth is most in the BP community believe the horrible deal with favorable seller financing where zero out of pocket is required is a better real estate play than the great deal that requires traditional financing.

You will probably lose a month of rent if you choose a Section 8 tenant ready to move in now versus a traditional tenant ready to move in now.

Bankers are not allowed to charge points on traditional loans so you save money in closing costs and end up with a lower rate.

@Moises Silva- if you purchase next one as a rental - getting traditional financing should be best route to take ..you will need min of  15% down 

@Nayeem Khan @Jason Bott - any ideas if these policies are more or less expensive than more traditional homeowners policies?

They also sold them on a mix of traditional sale and held notes on some.
