So first thing, when ever I have someone displaced coming using FEMA money to pay, I'll be doing a full background into where they were living before and contacting their previous landlords.

I only list on Furnished Finder currently and stay full.

@Dave Hart A release would not be recorded until the note is paid in full. 

From a lenders viewpoint, we consider "co-signers" to actually be co-borrowers or co-guarantors having full liability for the debt as a guarantor.

With no RE background and a full time job I was still able to create the right entity I needed, develop a powerful tax strategy, found a partner to invest with, and about to close on a rehab where we will both make $25k+.

Our pockets are not deep but we have full ownership of the land. 

Virtually all banks and lenders are going to have a due on sale clause, meaning they can demand full payment if the seller tries to sell the property or assign the mortgage without their consent.

These properties can often be acquired through creative financing methods like:Seller Financing: Negotiate flexible terms with motivated sellers who want to avoid traditional bank processes.Lease Options/Subject-To Financing: Take over a seller’s mortgage without assuming full responsibility, especially for properties needing renovation.Creative Terms: Adjust terms to fit market conditions, like offering lower down payments or longer payoff periods.Staying connected with investors and tailoring deals to current conditions can help you secure opportunities even in challenging markets.

I wouldn’t mind the tri state. as for the light cosmetic that just means not a full gut job.
