Loads of information on the forums and BP tools for you to expand your knowledge or find just about anything.I am on the lending side of things and am always happy to talk shop with investors looking to learn more about financing options out there, even if not in my resource pool.

Most mortgages aren't "assumable" (able to be transferred) and even if it is the new borrower would need to qualify the same as the original borrower.

Do I even need to say how ridiculous but unsurprising this is?

We don't even a Board yet (it's a new build), and it's all being coordinated by the HOA management company for the building.The developer offered to make the new door key fobbed on each side for entry, and would install a new security camera. 

In short, I can afford the additional $1100/mo cost of a second house, even until I rent it out.I have around $35K in HYSA and emergency funds that I could use for a down payment, but that's less than 20% which would be required for a conventional loan, assuming full purchase price.

When I was a tenant, admittedly a long time ago, I would turn off the air conditioning when I went away for a weekend in the summer, even though I was not paying for the heat/air condtioning. 

Is that why you’re leaning toward renting, even with a $1K/month loss?

It may even be higher than 5% depending on the area. 

We don't even call them "attorneys", we call them "lawyers".

I feel like a Daisy-Chain would muck up my Timeline or even the whole Deal.As long as everything is in writing and I get my Fee, does it matter?
