As long as you have a good cash flow with your Investment properties, you shouldn't have a problem obtaining financing for another investment property. In today's market 80% financing is generally the limit you'll be offered on investment properties.

Both Ruth and Al hit it on the head. If it truly is to be a new primary residence, FHA should not be a problem and 3.5% down would be all thats required (could even look to get closing costs included through sellers assist). Like Al alluded to, there might be some "hoops" to jump through in order to prove it will be a primary residence, but should be doable. Feel free to contact me for some quotes. Good luck in your search!

Dear RBTrulia,
Speak to an experienced mortgage broker who has your interests at heart. You should have no problem at all working this out with the right broker. Every real estate agent worth their salt has one or two specialists they work with who can get the job. Find the property so the mortgage broker has an idea of what you are considering. Best of luck.

Rbtrulia,

It sounds like it won't be a problem. The only issue would be getting the bank to believe that this isn't another investment property. Feel free to contact me at 908 415 3958.

FHA mortgages are not limited to first-time homebuyers. I recently got a low-down payment FHA loan (3.5% down) for a client in Jersey City Heights with six other properties. If you qualify and you will be an owner-occupant, you can get the loan. If you need any assistance, just call or email. My office is right in Hoboken.

Rbtrulia,

Most certainly a question for a mortgage/investment professional both of which rarely participate in this site. Sounds as if you currently rent, yet have multiple investment properties. How to proceeed is most certainly a prudent question.

Try Dawn Benedickson, 732.259.6077 or

Eric Larsen, 732.539.3911.

Both are top notch in my book!

Love and Peace,
Francesca, ePro, SRES
