I currently haver a private mortgage on the property that I will need to refinance in about a year or I have to pay a baloon payment. 

Quote from @Jay Hinrichs: my advice is to get some cash first.. dont be so focused on super high leverage. do seller finance first .. forget sub too until you are very well established and have ability to cash out the loans or refi on a moments notice @Don Konipol  Don gave you chapter a verse about the sub to risk/rewards.

I got lucky that the tenant wanted a house in my neighborhood to keep kids close to their schoolsHouse was listed for 1750, they offered 2250 but I declined , so they offered $3k, ended up renting the house for $3250 ($250 pet rent) per month, for 3 month, open to extension if needed.I met the tenant and did the background check on them, I felt comfortable renting to them THD takes time with approving the property, but they were quick to approve the lease, and they sent me the checks the next day after lease signingMy house is not furnished, and they were ok with that , they actually work with a company that provides furniture for the tenant, and they coordinate the delivery and setup of furniture on the lease start dateOverall I like the experience working with them , but hey today is day #1 (out of a possible 3 months), so I will update this post if anything wrong happens or if I notice any red flags

This can be hard money lender, private lender or bank.  

Private money lending.

I financed this deal using a combination of cash and a private lender.

@Sandeep K MamidiTo flip properties effectively, use market knowledge, research local trends, and innovative financing options like private money loans, partnerships, and syndicatation.

Quote from @George Goldstein: You know how when you buy a used car from a private seller you tell the seller to say he sold it for $3000 instead of $18000 so your dmv tax is lower?

With private patio and great Williamson County SchoolsWhat made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Also wondering if you've noticed any difference in booking success when using shorter leases?
