We've had difficulty comping a cap rate on Marco; Naples is closest and has more to compare, but is seemingly a different enough market.The value add to bring in Medical or a more permanent tenant on the 2nd floor is to add an elevator, which the property currently does not have.

Streets must either be devoted to public use and maintenance, or private streets protected by permanent recorded Easements.

any rentals 30 days or shorter can take place only if the owner or permanent tenant stays in the house with the guest during the whole rental.

We currently rent a 1 bed 1 bath apartment but are hoping to start with a flip-in to live in for 3-4 years before moving into a more permanent single family home in SouthCoast Massachusetts.

What I've notice as a new-ish resident of New Haven (and not originally being from here), that there is not a lot currently in the city to attract permanent, working young professionals/families like myself. 

This has the practical effect of me having investor clients out there that I've done mortgages for already that are "permanently preapproved" for however much cash they have on hand for down payment plus closing costs because while I do not know what their DTI will be, I do know that it will go *down,* meaning that I do not care about it.Note that the lesser of current lease agreements or appraised market rent will be used, unless you can demonstrate that the current tenant will be departing the residence.

We attend the christening or first birthday party if invited.We give gift cards for the Holidays.We help decorate for the Holidays and contribute to community potlucks/BBQs (at our 8-plex).We have a "make it your own home" policy, whereby we give approval for a reasonable modification to the property, such as painting a room, changing out a light fixture, etc.We prepare a "move-in packet" which includes information to orient them to the property (property rules, utility contact information, change of address form, our contact information, etc. ) and also information about the neighborhood, such as a walking/trail map of the local area, chamber of commerce welcome information, a list of nearby amenities (including medical, shopping, restaurants, schools, parks), menus for local pizza delivery services, coupons for local businesses, etc.We prepare a "move-in gift" which consists of a bucket of our favorite cleaning supplies and a reusable shopping bag with starter supplies of paper products, a "Zip-It" hair snare for clearing sink drains, a toilet plunger, a cutting board, approved hanging devices (picture hooks), a door mat and a shoe tray.We supply light bulbs for all permanent light fixtures for the duration of the tenancy, including specialty bulbs for appliances and chandeliers.

We want to do a line of credit based to pull out some cash for future purchases while waiting out the 6 months for permanent financing.I appreciate any advice anyone can give,Zach

My intentions are to become a fix and flip investor in the near future, however I will still need a permanent residence regardless of what my career plans are so I figure it would be best to make my first home purchase an investment instead of just a liability.My question is, should I try and get bank financing or should I try and go direct to seller for seller financing?

The eventual cash flow from paid off homes will fund the "permanent" home when her career settles down.
