Buying & Selling Real Estate9yFollowBuying a rental in socal - mortgage questionJeff L.Investor · Pope Valley, CA · Member since 2014 · 108 posts · 15 votesI own 9 rentals in the midwest, and want to buy my next one in my backyard in socal. I don't plan on living in it.1) Can I get a regular residential mortage on it (with normal rates and down payment), or do I have to get an investment type mortgage?2) Are there any legal time limits with how long I have to own it before I can rent it out, or anything I should watch out for like that?3) Can I get an FHA loan for this? 0Reply7 views
