Finding Tenants while still getting approved for Mortgage
Hi BP,
The last time I purchased a duplex, my lender wanted me to show that I will have someone moved in and renting on the day of close.
Luckily I reached out friends/family and made posts on social media which led to me being able to have one side rented at the time of close.
I felt that this was not the best way to go about it and was wondering what other methods people in similar situations have used..
I tried asking permission from current owner to advertise "for rent" on Zillow but did not ever receive a response..
(is it even legal to advertise a property that isn't yours yet?)
Any one have ideas or experience stories?
Thanks in advance!
