I am going to check with some local builders.

The main ones being:~ Sacramento's Real Estate Club (aka Capitol City Wealth Builders)~ NorCal Real Estate Investment Association (NorCal REIA)~ Sacramento Real Estate Investment Association (aka SacREIA)I've been to meetings at the first two clubs, and prefer the Capitol City Wealth Builders because it always seems to be well-attended by a wide variety of people and their meetings seem a little more informative and less "pitchy".

it's still a conventional loan, just not an "owner occupied" loan,,, You ask how the bank would know, are you going to homestead the property,,the banks could always see that you didn't or if you did and your taxing bodies figured that out, you would be in trouble with them.

One of my partners is a premier trust builder.

Builder control services has many services such as going over the scope of work and comparing it to the walkthrough of the house that they do.

He works for one of the top 5 largest home builders in the US, and we both live in Orlando.

Limit on the number of units owned by one party, this is particularly onerous for new developments where the builder still has many unsold units, so nobody can buy using FHA.3.
