The process will obviously cost quite a bit more and Safeguard seems to have washed their hands of it completely. 

Obviously, a lot depends on your price range here and exactly what you're looking for. 

Obviously some cash flow is better than none but is that amount worth the work to acquire, manage, etc. on the property?

Right away the most obvious is STR.

However this would obviously require substantial work and we probably wouldn't have the funds for years.Since I think we'd be losing money to rent it out (if we were to move) at our current rate with a conventional loan, I'm imagining maybe some kind of seller finance situation... which gets back to my question, what kind of deal could we present to our landlord that they might find appealing and gets us the chance to at least break even on rent?

I find it very supportive and obviously there is set up with every listing site.

The 4% and 6% rates are just the names given to differentiate commercial and owner-occupied.The 6% rate is obviously significantly high, but it's fairly average nationally.

But I'm getting a pass because the IRS does not verify and does not even ask.Don has a more difficult time with his auditor because he does not have Form 1098, and he does not want to show a form with my name on it, for obvious reasons.

He advised us to text him if we didn’t get a response from her.We obviously love the place, and it seems to fit our needs.

It’s too early to tell how things will turn out - sometimes the OBVIOUS turns out wrong2.
