@David Herfel, connect with an investor-focused real estate agent in your respective market who has house hack before or routinely helps and services house-hack buyers.

This same seller https://therealdeal.com/chicago/2024/05/08/first-chicago-sel... who tried to be greedy by offering $0 co-op for buyers agents.

This is my first deal; I need to list it on Zillow as soon as possible to get buyers. 

I get the rent is substandard but it seems if they just hold on for another 7 months they have a vacant property they can sell to all the regular primary home buyers in the market and get a much better selling price.

Become the buyer agent?     

This would ruin any of our chances to take advantage of a 'first-time home buyer' program, correct? 

Therefore whether its a "cash" or financed transaction, it shouldn't matter for the seller unless the seller doesn't want to deal with the financing contingencies/feels a buyer who is reliant on financing will be a risker transaction or they are a wholesaler in which many times complicates the ability to utilize financing. 

While you may not have a problem with it, future buyers may.
