My main concern is whether it's hard to meet their criteria for properties and secure funding.

We had to wait out the First Look period, but once that passed, we secured the property below market value.

Also, what’s been your biggest challenge when it comes to securing the funds you need?

Seller Financing I am the buyer with 30 days to purchase the property and want to simultaneously market it as rent-to-own,  how can I structure the process effectively:Can I structure the deal this way, so I can secure a tenant-buyer while working to close on the home myself,  minimizing my risk and creating a win-win situation.

That's how security issues gets fixed.

The straightforward method is to do everything yourself, as in my example above.

IMO I do not believe they properly screened my tenant, just placed a tenant so they wouldn't have to cover the mortgage until a proper tenant was secured.

He collected first/last/security payments prior to move in date and was never heard from again.

The vast majority of lawsuits against landlords involve wrongful eviction, security deposit disputes, and Fair Housing Violations.
