What are your thoughts or advice for going the owner-finance route? 

So I would advise putting energy into best finding that great fit for go-to specialist agent who best aligns with your desired outcome.

@Jake Song At 1st blush, what you're planning is not the best route.The B in BRRRR works when you BUY with 100% cash. 

@Dave Foster Very interesting, I'll have to read into this safe harbor reverse exchange option some more (full disclosure - I'm relatively new to the space, trying to soak in as much info as I can but there's certainly no substitute for going through it).

Hey @Faye Song!

Thanks for going so in depth!

. - I think we will be forgoing the prenup lol.

@Jake Song @Ernie Gutierrez For the best of both worlds between lowering interest cost and accessing equity, I'm a big fan of a specialized 1st position Heloc, called an "Offset" Mortgage in other countries.

There is nothing to buy without significantly overpaying while also forgoing an inspection -- and I don't advise my clients to do that.

Or, alternatively I was thinking about forgoing using a property management company completely, I'm not sure if trying to find vendors myself like a cleaning service, handyman service, etc is asking for trouble without me being there year round?
