@Evan O'Brien Which technically you can get a Fannie/Freddie 2nd home loan with just 10% down, good luck finding any workable rate/points. Rates for 2nd home and investment properties are very very bad right now. My bank has launched a portfolio loan that would allow a qualified individual to buy a 2nd home loan with just 5% down, No MI and very attractive rates.

You can't use borrowed funds for any part of a traditional loan (down payment, closing cost, reserves). And loan programs have CLTV (Combined LTV) limits, so you would can capped out there as well.

I just took a much deeper dive into the comps the appraiser used and they are not representative at all. For one of the homes, all 3 comps they used were over 1 year old, and one of them is a mobile home (which the subject property is not). For the other home, I upgraded it from a 3 bed/2 bath to a 4/2, but the comps they used were all 3/2s and out of date homes. Both of these homes were updated head to toe and the comps did not have anything new. I provided 3 new comps for each home to my lender who should be communicating them to the appraiser.
To those who say not waiting the 6 months of seasoning weighs down the comps, how is this true when the appraiser is only using 3 comps per home?
This is an issue with an incompetent appraiser. Has nothing to do with an appraisal being done before 6 month seasoning. An appraisal is done the same way, irrespective of the seasoning.
Have the lender appeal the appraisal and provide a detailed bullet list along with comps. If the appraiser doesn't agree to make chances, then ask the lender to do a 2nd appraisal.
Appraisal is a human process, so it is likely to have a variance in value, but it still does follow a certain set of guidelines.
Hope this helps.

Hi everyone!
Question about the FHA loan. Does anyone know details about the "primary residence for 1 year" requirement? Is it heavily enforced?
I want to get an FHA loan but I don't want to live in the property for a year. I tried to research the topic but couldn't find much on it.
Thanks in advance :)
When you go in with intent to violate the requirement, its mortgage fraud, a federal crime. FBI might decide to enforce the orange jumpsuit.
