Hi Cesar:

Yes, you would run through your scenario (and possibly go as far as running credit or submitting bank statements to the HML) and they will usually generate a letter of intent for you very quickly.

Please PM me if you need anything.

I know for a cash deal it's simple.

So as long as I am prequalified with the bank, I won't have to keep my money in escrow and can just pay at closing?

 Hi Tyson:

Great question.  It is best to refer to the title company/ attorney/ settlement agent involved in your transaction and your loan officer at the bank/ lender, but in most cases you would simply wire the funds required to close 1-2 days prior to your target closing date taking into consideration wire cutoff times and any processing time your bank requires.

Is that the same as the Conventional 97 that I have been reading about? Also thank you for your praise. I am simply looking for a way to attain financial independence. I have a meeting with a lender scheduled for Friday morning and I will ask about this type of loan. I was not aware of the 1 year rule with FHA loans. I will need to consider this when meeting with the agent again in the future.

Taking a step back though. In general am I crazy to want to make an investment purchase at the beginning of this year and want to purchase a primary residence for my fiance and I to live in towards the end of the year? 

 Hi Pete:

Yes, Conventional 97 is the conforming loan with 3% down.  Sorry for the delayed response.  Have a great weekend!

Hello All,

 I had a question regarding rentals in southern california, primarily the inland empire. I am just starting out in real estate and read a few books and decided that I'd like to start out in Buy & Hold investing. I met with an agent whom was recommended to me by a close friend. He suggested purchasing a duplex and living in it short term while renting out one of the units. He showed me several listings that cash flow just over $1000 monthly. I am meeting with a lender to see what I can get approved for. 

My question is regarding my exit strategy. Ultimately I'd like to rent this property entirely. So the agent suggested living in the property until I get married (currently engaged and date set in Nov 2016), then purchase the 2nd home under my wife's name so that we can qualify for an additional FHA loan. That home would be our primary residence. Does this sound like a viable strategy? This was my first ever meeting with an agent, so what he said makes sense in theory, but my lack of experience makes me a little worried.

Any insight or guidance is much appreciated. Thank you, Bigger Pockets Community.

Congrats on making real steps towards your real estate investment future, Pete. The first thing that I'll mention is that FHA guidelines 'require' that you remain in the residence for 12 months (you certify it as your primary residence when you sign loan docs and any violation of this could be a problem). If you certify that you will live in the dwelling for 12 mos knowing you will not/ do not plan to, that is a form of mortgage fraud. Also, if you attempt to buy the 2nd home under your then wife's name, you may run into a few stickler underwriters that look at the fact that you are both going to be on the same tax return, California is a community property state, you have less than 20% equity in the duplex that you just purchased under your own name having just used an FHA loan as a primary residence, and that underwriter (or several underwriters) could deny your wife's FHA loan request. Don't get stuck in the duplex... make sure your plan works first. The good news is that there are 3% conforming/ conventional loans available for you on a primary residence purchase and that should be an option after your duplex acquisition. No sense using the FHA loan if you are buying a primary residence and have decent to excellent credit. You can do 3% down on a conforming 30 year fixed with no monthly mortgage insurance (paid by the lender with a slightly higher note rate to you... much cheaper than monthly MI).

All that said, you have made quite a bit of ground on your very first meeting with an agent.  That is to be commended.  My suggestion is that you meet with a few experienced investors and a few good mortgage professionals first as they may be a little more apt to tell you what you should hear and not just what you want to hear.
