I would say go the owner occupant loan route to get into something for 3.5-5% down instead of 20-25% that you'd need with an investor loan, but those require you to live in the property for a year before you could rent it out.Airbnb could be appealing also since you'd already be furnishing the place for yourself, could just leave the furniture there after you'd move out.

I was wanting to know, can you do this through an SBA loan?

Even if you're already working with a Loan Officer, I'm here to help our community members to avoid being taken advantage of.

Well 2 of the 3 properties have no loan.

It’s not that they can’t get a loan.

Many lenders will charge additional rate increase if loan is under $150K.

One of the reasons for this is that the Sub2 investor may be nervous that the seller will say no.It should have been perfectly clear that the loan was going to stay in her name and you was taking over making the payments on her loan.

Its a 3 bed 2 1/2 bath.It is around 255k and I am using the state's first time homebuyer loan that provides 6k towards the down-payment.

So increase NOI, then you can back into a rough number on what your loan proceeds will be based on your forecast debt service upon refi.

Also, most who will buy a home in the price point as a flip will likely utilize a construction loan to improve upon the rate of return.
