Have a mortgage broker pull your credit and let you know what kind of loans you can qualify for along with any credit repair needed.

Will I qualify for a loan?

Sometimes investors list their 1-4 units with a commercial broker instead of on the MLS so this reduces the competition for those properties even thought hey still qualify for FHA financing.Best of Luck!

do not get carried away, play conservative on your first deal, leave some room for error.3) Find a qualified and experienced contractor, do not settle for cheapest, you want experience here, because their is a significant administrative burden not only paperwork, proper formatting, but also financial constraint on the contractor as these sometimes have $0 prepayment to contractor.

Really depends on what you're goals are, and if you qualify! 

They don't look at tax returns or debt to income ratio to qualify -- basically, good credit and whether the property is rentable/numbers make sense.Any thoughts, suggestions, criticisms would be greatly appreciated.TIA,Manuel

Do they qualify for a short sale? 

Does anyone know of and FHA or conventional banker that can get me qualified?

And just to mention, I got qualified for a va loan so that makes it even better. 

If my VA loan qualifies me for $417,000, and I used say $217k (pretty close) on my current mortgage, do I still have 200k available and could I use it to buy an investment property?
