I did not receive any settlement statement until the morning of the closing and the final settlement statement about 30 minutes before closing.

Reason I ask is when you look at the actual final rate its almost not worth doing the 2-1 or 3-1 buydown since the rate is higher than taking a normal rate. 

I had finally landed a great job making great money but still barely getting by.

Final Reconciliation•Ensure that all financials are reconciled between the outgoing and incoming management companies, including security deposits, rent payments, and any fees.

Draft a Contract for DeedAlso known as an installment sale or land contract, a contract for deed is when a buyer does not receive the deed to owner-financed property until he makes the final loan payment.

It’s also worth checking if there are any incentives, especially for first-time investors or through FHA (if house hacking).Final Thoughts:A 5% COC return isn’t the highest, but if you see potential for appreciation, rent growth, and forced value through renovations, this could be a good deal to launch your investing career.

With everything pretty much being new I feel reasonably good and have somewhat of a “it’s meant to be feeling” with the original buyer struggling to get the funding together to complete, allowing me the opp to finally secure.

I also like to have my phone handy showing the final comp set pricing on the traveler view on Airbnb at the same time.I think starting out slow is good.

Finally, our W2 jobs pay well and don't leave time to focus on making the rentals into a business and with having lost the drive to do it I'm just feeling a bit lost since these houses were a big part of my retirement plan-- and now I resent them.
