I'll add that I find that these loan types typically require a greater number of discount points to be purchased in order to get to a "near conventional market rate" (i.e. what you'd get on a conventional loan for an investment property at that point in time).So, larger down payment requirements AND larger up front capital required to buy down the interest rate.

I would ask for a larger discount (over $10k) if you are in a tenant friendly state.  

If I liquidate the cars that I am renting out I would be able to pay both of these off.

In select larger markets, some agents have the luxury of choosing residential vs commercial, buyer vs seller sides of transactions.

This is when some of the larger nationwide wholesale lending groups come in handy.

Found out it was part of a larger agriculture property and not yet subdivided. 

I sold and have $1,000,000; where should I invest for the best return, liquid, and I need the money back in 1 month?

So instead I focused on larger homes with a “mother-in-law suite”.

While it's good to enjoy the appreciation, I'm thinking diversification to Houston for larger cash flow.
