By what qualification @Jonathan Twombly?

Several panelists indicated that if the property and the deal were good enough they would be more lenient on the borrowers qualifications.

Not sure I follow the whole CPA qualification either.  

In every case I can imagine, you will have better access to financing (lower rates, less money to be put down, easier qualifications, etc) if you occupy the property yourself.3) Tax advantages.  

Much of both Dodd-Frank and the Safe Act was written at a 50,000 ft level, with interpretation and implementation pushed off on states.My advice, if you're serious about pursuing owner financing, is to find a good RMLO to handle your buyer intake & qualification and the servicing of your loans.  

Partner, put the down payment in or finance it, you can be a 50/50 or 60/40, whatever partner with a buy out in 3, 5 years or whenever.Trick is to know the partner, their qualifications, experience, many in various industries have years of experience, understand the business but are too thin to swing it on their own.

The more units, the higher bar of "pre showing qualification".

What are some qualifications or prerequisites that an investor would look for to know that I am worth taking seriously and would make them want to take me under their wing?

Most people do 2-3x rent as qualification for renting a unit.

I’m very confused by the pre-qualification step in the application process- can you pre qualify multiple people?
