I can squeeze the 20% down payment out of my primary residence equity, but I'm not sure if this is allowed in conjunction with a traditional mortgage. 

Has anyone had success with mailings that would be closed traditionally?

Hi All,I have both a self directed traditional IRA and Roth IRA.

standard purchase and sale agreements have due diligence periods for inspections these are traditionally 10 business days.. after that your deposit goes hard.  

., this one will be a traditional rental.

@Andrew LacySome of our private/hard money lenders don't even look at your credit - they just look at the deal.Other more traditional commercial lenders would allow 10-12 personal loans, for as long as you and the properties continue qualifying. 

@Jarrod Rayner I don't think I can get a traditional business loan with a completely vacant property and no income, however I haven't tried that route@Nick L.

These loans are shorter ammortization (7,10, 15 year), ballon payments, possibly variable interest rates, +1-3% interest rate over traditional financing and 60-75% LTV.If anyone is wanting to know more I would be happy to share my strategies and thoughts.Frank

Taxes were around 3600.Apt 1 is 1600 sq feet 2 bed 1.5 bath that rents for $2250.Apt 2 is 740 sq feet 2 bed 1 bath that rents for $1500.Both units have their own laundry rooms and separate driveways, feel more like your own house than a traditional walk up apartment.Vacancy rate is historically low, average renter stays for 5-6 years.

Your original question has already been thoroughly answered, but to sum up: You can definitely scoop up a house hack duplex with traditional financing in the Greater ATL metro.
