I want to get into flipping houses but want to start slow. This will be my first purchase so should I get a first time loan or commercial?

You need to look for an investment property loan. Based on your intent to Fix and Flip, it's NOT a primary residence. The same Mortgage Brokers that can help you with a primary residence loan can also help you with this transaction. ~ Bert Carpenter, The LoansA2z Team of NEXA Mortgage ~ NMLS 40586 ~ At NEXA, we've got you covered.
