I am an investor myself. leverage is always the key. going Fannie Mae is your best option.Before you decide on what down payment is best for you first decide on the strategy of why you’re investing in real estate.

With the current lending available (20% downpayment Fannie Mae) the monthly cost to borrow $10,000 =  approx. $60 per month. 

I’m looking to refinance a 26 unit apartment property using Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac and I’m getting assistance from Falkirk Capital.

@David GrabinerCan I find these loan products from mortgage brokers, banks, Fannie Mae?

As for the loans, there are Fannie Mae products which have language describing moving title to the name of the LLC after the cash out refi unlike Freddie MAC. 

Even on subprime Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loans with every ridiculous loan and screw up they made, they required property insurance.

With a foreclosure, Fannie Mae underwriting guidelines require that a borrower must not have been foreclosed within five years for getting a Fannie Mae loan.

Fannie Mae!!!!

That could be accomplished by having the Treasury buy Ginnie Mae securities, or having Congress directly subsidize the rate, Bernanke said.

Fannie Mae will allow a new FM loan after 2 years seasoning for a SS, 5 years for a foreclosure.Do I have to prove to the lenders that the home needs work?
