@Kevin Harrison Thanks for the mention.
@Mia Gomez If you are buying rehab properties, then most likely you will have to get hard money/private money to buy and rehab. Once that is done and you have a tenant in place, you can do a cash-out refi to a conventional loan.

@Marck Paul If you can prove that you have been a resident of the area for a while and that your employment is local, but you are traveling for work at the request of your employer, then it should not be an issue.
If you are saying I want to buy a house in TX, when your employment location is in NY, then the answer is NO.

@Murali P. as @Brie Schmidt mentioned, when you try to sell you might run into restriction. Depending on the investor per, financial status of the HOA and occupancy, the right mortgage banker might be able to do a low down payment Fannie/Freddie loan.
Since you are looking to buy as 2nd home, you might be able to get a Fannie/Freddie loan.
