@Chris Seveney While I'm not at that level to be able to provide personal experience I will follow to see what others respond with.One question I would have is, 'What is your current loan volume today?'   

We have 20 years of experience and are always looking for investors to work with. 

If anyone has any experience on either end of a transaction like this i would be interested in hearing from you.

How's your experience with FF? 

My experience with friends/some clients is get their numbers via whatever method you can and reach out via the phone.

I understand that starting condition and location will play a factor here, but just wondering what your experience has been.

If that's my experience in a small town, I suspect it's probably everywhere.

And yes this will be a huge learning experience.

I have been investing for 4 years and have tried both local and national banks and haven't had any experiences to write home about.

Based on my experience managing a significant number of rentals, leasing back to a seller can work, but it’s essential to approach it carefully.Lease Start Date:The lease should be signed at closing and start on the same day—Monday in your case.
