Expensify.

Anyone with experience investing in East Africa? I lived in Rwanda for the majority of 2009-2014 and considering a move back. If the move happens I'll be looking to invest in real estate. Would like to meet others who may be familiar with the system, market and procedures there.

@Colton Cook, thanks for your response.  By commercial, I'm referring to the business loan.  This is a MF home with two side-by-side units.  

Been on BP for a couple months now reading and listening to podcasts, really enjoying the forum so far.  This is also my first post, so here's to an introduction!

I'm making the step toward my first investment property and want to know if the "first time homebuyer" status (and the benefit of a lower down payment) status is retained for me if I go for a commercial loan on this first property?  Reason I am asking is to see if moving on to a second deal using a conventional loan down the road I can still qualify for the "first time" status.

Thanks, Jack
