Have dad invest as “silent” partner entitled to a return equal to the interest rate he wants to charge you.

In my experience, they have the fastest turnaround time vs folks out of driving distance from the property.

so if it's possible to inoculate folks to that there's a lot they can do in terms of networking and meetups, even the pitch-y ones if their eyes are open. 

Because he was overpriced and I was the only one willing to pay the amount he wanted, he ultimately signed over his VA entitlement and allowed my (a non-veteran) to take over his loan! 

Hey @Victor Garcia - I know a few folks in the Bronx, shoot me a text and I'll send you their contact infos thanks

Nope.. developers by and large are not going to cash you out and take the entitlement risk for such a small discount.. maybe 500k discount they would but not 100k.. not going to happen unless you find a developer that is not very bright and has money burning a hole in their pocket.

It's not a listing agreement per se - it's an agreement between agent and seller - let's say when agents really have buyers who like FSBO houses.Of course, agent is not going to show the house without making sure he's get paid but it won't be "Exclusive right to sell"Just an agreement kinda like "If I show your house and my client buy it, I'm entitled in 3-4-5% of the selling price.It could be anything, even the listing agreement without exclusive right for the agent - who bring the buyer - that one get paid.

I want to let you know that there is a short term rental forum, where you can chime in on things that have worked for you, or ask questions of folks who have similar successes and challenges with STRs.  

Lastly many folks were home watching the As and Giants in the World Series and I am sure that saved a lot of folks.

I've had some folks recommend using it for those purposes and I just can't see the benefit.
