In my opinion, it doesn't sound like a bad deal.10% is more than you would get in treasuries and corporate bonds36 months is not a super long period of time.Seems like you are protected with 1st position.I would just do some background on the company - How long have they been in business, financials on how the company performed for the past 2-3 years, along with some background information on the sponsor/founder of the company.Best of luck.

And I would not try to obligate someone to stay by contract. 

A simple Bi-Weekly with added payments can pay off a mortgage in 10-12 years.This strategy allows you to pay more at your own pace having a failsafe unlike a 15 year where you are obligated to pay more every month.

By being pre-approved by a lender you are not entering into an obligation with them, so you could be pre-approved by one and then, once you are under contract on a property, shop around to make sure you have the terms, conditions, and service that is right for you.

That said doing it now when you do not have big obligations is the time to do it.   

Naively, I thought SCOTT CARSON (Inverse Asset Fund) would do the "right thing" and meet his obligation if treated like a professional.

Hello all,As many others in corporate America, I have some savings tied up in a 401k.

We also are aware they are under no obligation to sign a lease.On June 1st, the tenant payed the increase in rent.

How much it will affect your DTI depends on your existing debt obligations, income, the mortgage of the primary home you want to buy, and the mortgage of the house hack property.I recommend using the 5% down conventional loan product to house hack and only use FHA if you have to since there are more restrictions involved.

New landlords are obligated to visit each tenant and personally introduce themselves before tenants are required to pay rent.
