I financed this as a conventional mortgage for a personal residence.

Has any used the "HomeStyle" loan before? It looks interesting. Apparently it works similar to a 203K loan however it doesn't have to be an owner occupied home. It can be for investment purposes too. Conventional so 5...

If it is FHA mortgage the down payment and insurance is not what you put in.

Mortgage

@Christopher Socha try another bank or mortgage lender someone will give the Value that you need. 

Also keep in mind non-rehab related costs such as holding costs (utilities, taxes, mortgage payments, etc) and selling costs (commissions - typically around 6% total, staging - if applicable, etc).

You can sometimes get an idea by looking at tax account as it will show mortgage but not always. 

You can link multiple cards to the same rewards program or even transfer rewards to a single account  so you can still separate everything and still get/use the miles  As for the new purchase, once you get approved for the mortgage, go ahead and apply for the new credit card.

Hi all.First let me introduce myself.My name is Victor, I have been living in the Austin area for 10 years now, originally from Spain.I bought my first home in Austin in 2009, and sold it for a good profit in 2013, when I married, to buy another home with my wife.Ever since, I have been wanting to invest some money in real state, mostly to avoid just having cash seating in the bank, and build some equity for the time when we retire.At different times we have looked at different types of properties, but for one reason or another we would just stop looking for a while and then start over again.Just a few months we started looking again, I wanted to find some investment property that provided some positive cash flow, but after talking with some friends, realtor, mortgage broker... it seemed that it could be better to find another property to move to, and rent our current home out, since we got it at a good price in 2013 and should get a good rent.Now, while looking for that, I found a house I thought had good potential with some renovations, and long story short, we ended up in a contract to purchase it.

They need time to repair their credit so they can qualify for a mortgage.3.
