Similar downpayment of 5% (as opposed to the FHA 3.5%) and the closing costs will be lower. 

I don't think you can get less than 5% for an investment property, without paying points to lower the rate.

(correct me if I'm wrong)The 0% down and lower MIP rates are intriguing to me, as well as the option to be able to roll in some cosmetic rehab costs into the loan. 

Rentals I slum it a bit in C- neighborhoods, have a couple multi’s in the war zone by central and Wyoming because thy cash flow so well, but I spin my wheels a bit w some lower grade tenants at times.

I recently bought in Union Township (clermont county, east of Cincinnati) which has much lower taxes and water/sewer cost. 

As a rental, the numbers are a little tight:Price: 210k(haven’t negotiated yet but after first conversation I think she wouldn’t go much lower).ARV: 230k2/2 on both sidesNo major repairsRents : 1k each side currently.
