I NEED SOME QUICK HELP ON THIS ONE.

[Travis Elliott]

Hi and thanks for the help.

I am heading in to my bank tomorrow to get my financing going on an investment house.

Here is my question.I live rent free currently because I get an apartment with my job. I can either financing for the investment property as a non owner occupied or owner occupied.

With O/O I can get in for three percent down and I can get a better interest rate. The problem is when I go to get another investment house I will have to put that one down as an O/O like I was moving into it. Also I cant use the rental income as income.

Is this a bad idea to finance as O/O or a good idea. My banker said that investors do this often and it works well for them.

That's considered loan fraud. Sometime the banks can and will poke around...beware. NOO is usually 20% in this market.
