I think you need to talk with your broker about some training.

@Jorge Magana This may be a completely dumb question but what bank/loan program did you find conventional financing with only $2500 down for an investment property? 

.$25,000 surety bond.Copy of lease for location or proof of ownership.Dealer training seminar certificate.Registration of fictitious trade name.Copy of corporate papers.Sales tax number.Federal employer identification number.Fingerprints and applicable fees. ($54.25 per person).I emailed the DMV to see if I am permitted to use my home as an office.The response was (and I am happy to have it in writing) You can be a Broker in your house as long there is no zoning issues.

I have a GREAT lender that I can refer you to who works with the 203 k program quite a bit, so just let me know if you'd like me to connect you.2.

There are some low down programs like FHA & USDA but those come with various stipulations.

Do you know anything about her training?  

Make sure you get the Heloc while the unit is still your primary as that makes a huge difference for lenders.ask a few banks about their programs because they are NOT all the same.

Some programs these days have interest rates down in the 7.99% range.FYI, I personally have vacation rentals in Fort Lauderdale and Palm Springs. 

Great structure, definitely lived in so will need some cosmetic work, the upstairs unit appears to have been used as a dog training area for dog fights but hey, it all looks like $$$ to us.We discussed rehab options for this property on Green Street.  

Present your game plan and what skills you bring to the table (good researcher, social person, marketer, etc), then ask the broker what he brings to the table - Training?
