12 months minimum usually, you must show intent to live in the home.

Not that the intent is back out, but one thing I'm trying to do is gaining a solid understanding of no-risk EMD (as long as deal is closed within a certain timeframe), - how to explain the risk reversal to the seller - and also the buyer.I would be most thankful for the help and if you wanna join my network of MD/DC/VA based REI let me know.

Finally decided it’s time to pursue real estate with intention.

But remember that house hacking can easily lead into the BRRRR strategy, house hacking is really just purchasing a home and living in it for a little while with the intention of turning it into a rental.

But then hes like well that 65% would be split when Id bring a buyer..I believe he said he represents 500 exclusive buyers..It seemed his intent was to pass off any deals Id bring in to one of these many buyers..In which case the overall split he said was acceptable to him..

purchased a triplex with the intent of living in a unit for a year and then renting out all 3 units.

What the regulators care about is intent. 

Our intention is to demolish the house and proceed with the subdivision.Since I lack experience working with developers, I'm unsure what would be a fair arrangement for me in this deal.How much does a developer typically charge for the scope of work?

There intentions are not good, it's to close and ideally at the highest price.

We would eventually like to retire there but that is a few years away so the intent is to buy something now and be able to rent (STR) and be able to manage all that from overseas (we are in Canada).
