Maggie,If your husband is going to use it occasionally I would buy it as a second home so you only need to put 10% down.

This is a portfolio loan offered by local credit unions where you can buy up to 5 pure investment properties with as little as 5% down if you qualify, which you do have to qualify still with DTI, credit, reserve requirements, etc.There are different credit union options that would be best to connect with based on where you are investing and your situation, so that is why it's important to connect with our team to guide you on the right path on where to apply so you are not wasting your time and having multiple unnecessary credit pulls.

My guess is no one will question you when you buy a note.

Plenty of people just move out of their homes after 1-2 years and buy another property. 

HI, pretty curious about what the Fayetteville officials are like in regards to this process? Anyone have experience with this process and any advice? Even things on how to investigate the local process would be welco...

This can become dicey and should be paid attention to when buying a property.

I have a plan working with a friend who owns an insurance company to guide me on a solid policy that protects me with errors and omissions, legit insurance business owner whom I've had car insurance with at one time and introduced me to the CPA I've been using for a little under a decade. 

You don't usually get to inspect the property before buying so you take a large risk.

If you do don't stop buying.

Aside from the STR restriction situation mentioned by Michael, new construction is going to cost more than buying an existing property 98 percent of the time.
