My sister lives in staten island, NY and getting ready to buy her 1st home as a primary residence. 

Hi @JR Lizarraga, I'd recommend doing a free trial of each solution, and creating a list with each, and then comparing the results.

They said yes but the rate would be 7.5% since it's not my primary residence.

If you go FHA you just have to reside in the property within 60 days.

I am from the Philadelphia area.Just recently went through a difficult time, having to deal with a difficult inspector and having a cease & desist order on one of my buildings for a month, resulting in resident tenants being forced out and commercial tenant having to shut down their business.

Let me first provide a little context on where we are at with the deal and the overall condition of the property.My intention: Primary residence- 2 yrs, then rentalLocation: Denver, CO (Very high growth neighborhood, this deal was almost all dumb luck...)Condition: House is B Class, recently remodeled, 3br, 2ba, huge yard, carport, shed, new roof, everything about this house is above and beyond what I consider move in ready.Asking price:  $399,000Days on Market: 27My Offer: $375,00 (Accepted)Contingencies: Inspection, Appraisal and Seller allowed to live in the property for 9 months after closing while new build is being completed.The seller is in a position where they need capital to finance and complete the build that has already broken ground on their new home. 

I'm no MD but I have one son doing an Army Pediatric residency and another son doing a Navy Urology residency.

I have only closed on my personal residence and am finding I don't have the time to make list or represent buyers. 

Last year we sold our primary residence which we bought for $300k and then sold it for $500k.

A buddy of mine in tech was telling me how he was playing with the idea of creating a solution to make the closing process even faster and reduce closing fees.
