Verifying last 2 years of rental history and income extremely important to find the “best of the worst”.Make sure you understand the Class of properties you are looking at and the corresponding results to expect.What else can we assist you with?

You could buy a $225K home for example 3.5% down is $7,875.00 but there is closing costs which I mentioned seller credit or use the rest of your $6K.You could also use a DPA down payment assistance which covers 100% of the mortgage and in some cases depending on the DPA closing costs as well.   

Depending on the zip code you might also check with Wells Fargo to see if they offer the down payment assistance grants in that area.Could be the buyer is just trying to save cash, so counter back with no closing costs.   

The taxing authority will actually assist you with that process (ie provide you the forms, etc).

Professional inspections, real estate attorneys, and property management are essential.Good luck with your house hacking journey and feel free to ask for further assistance.
