I am extremely outpriced in my market, and I am a first time home buyer.

Quote from @Chas Lumley: Quote from @Caleb Brown: Getting leases is typically done once under contract, I always have verbiage that leases will be reviewed by buyer within the inspection contingency.

@Cheryl J McGrath  Personally I don't see why any RTO buyer would enter into an agreement  and put down money if you don't own the house yet. 

So, even as the Fed lowers the Federal Funds rate, and as we see the spread between the 10-year treasury yield and the 30 year mortgage rate shrink, upward pressure on the 10-year from longer-term foundational pressures will see mortgage rates tick up or or at least hold steady.While this is neutral/slightly negative news for home buyers, it is very bad news indeed for our friends in the commercial real estate world, who are really seeing the best case scenario for the 10-year right now.

If your rental property is occupied, there are different rules that apply for selling to an investor versus selling to a buyer who intends to occupy the property.

You have to guarantee the loan but you are not a buyer of the property. 

The only exceptions I can think of are a lack of experience frustrating your financing process or where the GC has such a well established brand that a buyer will pay a premium for a home built or renovated by that particular contractor.

Jonathan, just to clarify the process: After I get seller under contract t, I then find the end buyer, and the second contract is between the agent and the end buyer.

MOST transaction aren’t BELOW market, although I’d venture that 85% of those buyers BELIEVE they’re purchasing real property at a discount.  

I've lately been working on doing the same in Puerto Vallarta.I'm also working on putting a group of buyers together to do our own developments together with local associates.Have you invested in Mexico yourself?
