Everyone will tell you it’s great to get started early, or you can just move after a year, but in the current environment in our region the rent your property will generate after you move out will likely be less than your mortgage, if you are tied to the area and feel confident you want to stay in whatever property you buy for 3-5 years go for it, if you want flexibility rent and throw that money into and index fund. 

If they want their money back fast like a flip then let them flip it and you buy it as a primary residence with a conventional or fha mortgage.

@Diandre PiercePaying down mortgages is the opposite of scaling.

I have a few properties and am also a mortgage broker, happy to answer any questions about general investing or financing options.

My first mortgage was almost 11% and that was a good rate.

.: Hello,Did anyone received post closing audit from mortgage company.

As far as the sale of a property with a mortgage on it, that all gets sorted out at close. ie, you bring your money, the bank gets what they have coming, the realtor gets what they have coming (if there's one involved) and the seller gets the rest.

With most mortgages you can move after one year without any problems.

Also the home is a subject to, where we are paying the remaining 3% mortgage, so a full refi would not be a great answer either. 

Pricing tools that exist on the market are decent, but you also need to know how to control it, otherwise, it will go nuts with unrealistic rates far out and extreme last-minute discounts.
