Quote from @Christian Timiraos: Ive been trying to post FSBO on zillow for 2 weeks in Central Florida.

I have been stuck in a rut of thinking that we have to buy our first deal, a house hack, with traditional financing.

That being said, regarding best and worst ways: some of the people I look up to the most in our industry traditionally have quite diverse backgrounds.

Also, unlike traditional conventional 1-4 Unit loans, commercial lending is really up to the lender wanting to do the deal or not.

Are they required to send you 1098s, just like traditional mortgage lenders?

Otherwise, we have had some excellent experience with active duty military, traditional reservist/guardsman, and veterans.1.

@Kaul Christian Kappenman hi there i am already sold on Huntsville.

This means you can swiftly transition out of the business while securing your financial interests, without the hassle of seeking external financing or dealing with traditional lenders.

I'm going to go against the grain here as I often seem to do...I personally hate the traditional turnkey model.

This can be particularly appealing if the seller is facing financial difficulties, needs to move quickly (perhaps due to relocation, divorce, or other personal issues), or the property has little to no equity and they can't afford to sell it through traditional means without bringing money to the closing.
