In addition, the minimum down payment on an onwer occupied home is lower than the minimum for non-owner occupied housing. I was told that if you wish to buy rental property that you can lie and tell the mortgage company you will be occupy the home. By doing this you can take advantage of the much lower rate and downpayment. I realize I must forward any U.S. Mail to my real house and that I would have to buy a homeonwers policy on the rental property. I realize that you can only do this once to a bank, ( can not have more than one mortgage with them ) and that the rental property you claim you are moving into should be in the same ball-park as your present home ( not significantly lower ). How would the bank ever know you were going to rent it out? Is there something missing here? --kane!hou2b
