The problem you are going to run into is the fact of it being an investment property. They are out there, ed but the rate is not wonderful. There are a few things that would help me to answer your question.

Why do you need to do it as an investment instead of a second home? Are you self employed, or w-2’d? How long are you planning on keeping the property? Why do you need to go stated? What is your credit like? Do you need to finance the entire purchase, or do you have some money down?

Going I/O SISA is not a problem if it is a primary residence or a second home. If the investment property is far enough away from your primary residence then you can, and should finance it as a second home.

You have options on what you can do in this situation, feel free to e-mail me and I can give you some ideas.

Assuming the credit rate is excellent and falls under high income. Also the house price would be under 300k. If there are any mortgage lenders, sales could you suggest what is the current interest rate that you could estimate?
Thank you.

At least Natalee answered your question, this lol. Sarcasm.

Streamline (in the traditional sense) means that you can refinance when the rate drops, pilule usually without all the fees associated with re-fi… which can really save you. It lets you sort of rides the waves, health hence “streamline”.

*Lisa L* I never said there are no closing costs, that’s a given. I just meant there are many less fees (no appraisal like you mentioned, no credit check) than a re-fi on a non-streamlined mortgage. I am obviously not a pro at this, and you seem to be, so of course my answer will be a little less detailed than yours, I am just answering according to my understanding. Forgive me if it’s not like yours.

  1. An FHA streamline refi is FHA to FHA. No appraisal, you will not need to give income, a credit report does not need to be done, you will just need to be able to show no lates on your mortgage. Your loan officer can get your payment history from your current mortgage holder. You also must not be going up more than $ 50 in payment to not have to income qualify. You can incorporate allowable closing costs & prepaids into your mortgage.

    You can do a non streamline FHA. This would be because you want cash out or are taking a borrower off the loan. You would have to income qualify, ratios would have to be in line, credit report would be pulled, & you would have to have an appraisal.

    Non streamline could be conventional to FHA. Same rules as immediately above would apply.

    Mr Muffet- loved your sarcasm comment. What’s up with that “answer” to the question? BTW streamline does have closing costs associated with it (no appraisal, but still costs) & a new escrow account has to be set up. The escrow account balance is not subtracted from the payoff. It is returned to the borrower in 30-45 days.

    Another edit- Mr Muffet – I wasn’t saying you were wrong, just wanted to make sure asker knew there would be costs associated with it even if it is all rolled into the loan amount.
