Andrew DeB Is it possible to buy 3rd, 4th+ primary residences with 5% down?

Depends on perception what is wrong and right, but I would have to agree with Upen since you said you bought the 2nd home as a "primary residence," with intent on living in the property (so you mentioned to the bank) and then mentioned you went back on your intent and rented it out since day 1 there by defrauding the lender to obtain primary residence terms while the real intent was to acquire the property as a rental property/investment.As for the other question you mentioned can you keep buying primary residences with 5% down (in US only) you can as long as the scenario makes sense and the loan amount is 417k or lower (10% down is required for loan amounts in excess of 417k loan in certain areas of the US, dont know about canada).Good luck to the loan officer who works on this scenario, because he or she would be putting their professional license at risk for collusion with the borrower.

Landon Elscott I lost $22,000 selling a sports car, but improved my net worth $27,500 - my first deal!

I know a lot of times we get hyped up over hearing about “no money down deals” where we can invest in real estate without really giving anything up, and as amazing as those deals are, the reality is for most beginners who don’t want to wait several years to save up the necessary funds or don't want to dabble in wholesaling, the answer is liquidating unnecessary or excessive assets.For me, the money to invest in real estate was sitting covered in my garage, its wheels roughly 3” off the ground and supported by 4 jack stands – and it had been sitting there that way since the last October when I returned home from one last cruise through the crisp fall air.
