I would like to consider acquiring a property at a tax sale, and do not mind waiting out the 6-month redemption period, assuming the chances are high that I will indeed end up with the actual property at the end of the 6-months, if that makes sense?

You could also offer to let them pay rent on the 1st and 15th, but stress that it MUST be paid on the 1st and 15th of each month-no grace period. 

Some other investors recommend doing a 20-25 year amortization period on the loan which helps cash flow a ton.

This gives me piece of mind knowing I'm not liable during the rental period.

It's frustrating that the only thing standing in our way from fast paced growth is the seasoning period on loans, if there is any sort of way to get around it we're more than open to trying the strategy out! 

Why buy now, when we're virtually guaranteed a lower rate in a short time period? 

Also extend balloon or amort periods 5 to 7 years.

I get my increase sooner and lock them in for a fresh 12 month period.
