NACA, Bank of America down payment assistance, FHA, 3% down conventional.

I was under the impression that conventional lending will not be able to provide rehab loans unless the property is owner occupied. 

Most GOOD PMCs use standard naming conventions for their documents.

The bridge loan can also include rehab costs and can be interest only payments during the rehab period.The downside is the interest rates may be a little higher than a conventional lender. 

I recently got into my first deal with a private lender in where he was willing to co-sign a conventional loan with me and fund the rehab of my first house hack for a percentage back. 

I was initially wanting to receive a conventional loan and pay a downpayment in cash from savings and buy and hold properties. 

It's also very close to Reed College, a $60K/semester school, so it would be a strong draw for wealthy visitors, campus tours/visiting parents, etc.Also- my primary job is an online merchant, selling on Amazon/Ebay and I require a large space for daily inventory/shipping prep.

However after crunching some quick numbers, I’m trying to understand the benefit of a cash out refi vs just getting a conventional mortgage.

This is an old link I found but serves well for our example) Let's assume that at any point, 10 percent of this inventory is for sale (no data found on this but any number should work).

Conventional home loans are the closest thing to free money as there is.
