Could I purchase the a home with an FHA Loan as my primary residence, yet not actually live in it? 

One lender agent said we can do a convention rehab loan Homestyle but I think this will be a hard sell for the bank as they will most likely want cash.Any advice, input, guidance appreciated!!

I mean if you want to count that income on a loan application. 

Thanks all - here was my initial strategy, and you tell me if this is a bad idea:Acquire property 1 using HELOC for downpayment and convential 30 yr loan.

Now I know I plugged in a 15 term but I plan on paying this loan off in less than 5.

The most I could probably get a personal unsecured loan for would be $40k and I don't have time to get a HELOC or for that matter have the equity in my primary since I just bought it this year. 

Can anyone recommend a contractor licensed for 203k loans in the south shore Massachusetts area?

I bid my number and stick to itDifficult to get a conventional,fha and va loans on these properties as no repairs are allowed and no closing costs are paid

Typically you add the costs to the loan balance, but closing costs arnt any cheaper on a refinance.

Will it have a loan on these homes?
