Rent Restricted Properties

[Sam Leon]

Looking at some properties in a community that does not allow rental during the first year.

That basically makes it a buy/flip. I prefer to buy and hold to rent.

Any creative ideas on any way to avoid the property from sitting idle?

If it's a short sale, would renting back to the seller - basically allowing them to stay beyond the sale date be "within the rules"?

I am pretty sure the answer is no...I just wanted to make sure.
