Taking that leap and buying your first rental property can see, daunting. Here’s how you can use rental property loans in Arizona to make it easier.

For first timers, making a rental property purchase is a major deal. It’s a lot of money, a huge risk and a ton of work. You need to make sure you do your due diligence in finding a property that’s in good shape, in a good neighborhood and represents a good deal. On top of all that, you’ve got to figure out a reasonable way to pay for it.

Many people decide to turn to the bank to get a loan on a NOO (non-owner occupied) property. This is one way to do it and it’s a solid way, especially if you have great credit, good income and no bankruptcies or foreclosures on your record. It’s also a good route if you can afford to wait; banks can take over a month to get you your money.

There are other options aside from the bank. Private investors will often offer Arizona rental property loans to people who want to get into the “game.” It’s a fair exchange — you get the upfront money for an investment property, plus monthly or short-term rent, the investor collects interest and fees. These private investors can be tracked down with great effort, or you can go to a broker who connects landlords with private investors.

Either way you go, there’s one trick you can use to dip your toes in the rental game without jumping in the deep end.

How to Minimize the Risk of Buying a Rental Property

Here’s one trick many people don’t think about — living in the rental property for 12 months. This offers a range of advantages:

● You can find and fix any problems you find on the property.

● You might be able to qualify for an Arizona owner occupied loan, which usually means better rates and terms.

● You won’t have to make two mortgage payments.

● You’ll be there to watch over the property as other people live there (especially true with a mother-in-law, basement apartment or guest house).
