Thanks for the quick reply. NO it will be strictly investment. A duplex, both units rented, with long term renters. Asking 115, I believe he will actually be happy to break even… still owes 98. My broker friend believes the owner refinanced and is now in financial trouble…Appraised at 120. Any help will be greatly appreciated. It also has a positive cash flow of 150/mth.

I am about to make my first purchase and have a few questions, I’m not too sure of. First do they do a full credit check and income check to assume an FHA mortgage or can the owner sell to anyone? Second… Will a mortgage broker take out a second small mortgage, which would enable us to walk with cash and give the seller his cash without using our own? A quick response would be greatly apppreciated I’d like to present an offer tonight or early in the morning…
I can help you out on your first question but not the second.A FHA that originated prior to 1987 is usually a nonqualifing.If it originated after 1986 then you will probably have to qualify by the credit and income verification.
