Well my guy that I helped found it on Facebook marketplace the guy was only asking $9,000 and I basically told him I liked it I wanted it and the seller tried to play the smooth saying I've got a bunch of buyers and the price went up and I basically told him to take it or leave it and I bought it for 10,000 bucksHow did you finance this deal?

Alternatively, can I get pre-approved online or with my bank and go from there before shopping between lenders?

I've worked in the SFR space for quite some time, and currently work as COO at Marketplace Homes.
