Investment property loans · Linn County, IA
Cedar Rapids investors buy single-family houses and duplexes to rent, many of them older houses in neighborhoods such as Wellington Heights near downtown. The 2008 Cedar River flood reshaped neighborhoods on both banks, from Czech Village and New Bohemia to Time Check, so floodplain rules matter on any address near the river. Every rental needs a landlord business permit, registration and a Certificate of Compliance.
