So it may be better to let someone else do the heavy lifting and take most of the risk (i.e. they be the sole guarantor on a construction loan, etc).

Or do I just use the remaining balance of the loan?

Also another option could be a DSCR loan as well.

I was planning to use the FHA 203K loan for Acquisition with Exit strategy for flip or Rent and Refinance. 

They can do around %8 on the loan.

When you graduate, fill your space with another student and then buy another house hack while you get started in the business world.Yes, you should work the "boring 9-5" to generate income and qualify for loans.

when you buy subto you are taking title and like you point out getting second position money for the downpayment or equtiy .. ( entry fee new term kind of funny but I am guessing thats a Pace ism. )I agree with you these folks need partners not loans.

Purchase price: $320,000 Cash invested: $35,000 Sale price: $400,000 I bought this property from a wholesaler and used a hard/private money loan on the purchase.

Well Marcus since its U and me on this thread. ( and I cant believe more BP members are not interested in learning about these types of investments)  but anyway here goes.The property was originally optioned from the land owner who bought it in the 50s for next to nothing in today's dollars..The company that had that option that started in about 2002 also optioned it for 5 mil or so with annual option payments ( they were a large SFR builder as in larger Regional builder). come 08 and well that builder was one of many in the PDX market that had way to much inventory and the banks called most of their loans and he lost MILLIONS and pocketed much fo the last draws and actually decamped to Cabo and bought a resort at Cerritos beach that is still there today.

Buying with a conventional loan is 1 way to buy.
