Can hear it through ear plugs!! 

If going conventional route or agency route, Interest only for the first 1-3 years is available, esp with Agency financing, depending on term length, but you're still going to be locked into some type of pre-pay just because they are 30 year amortizing loans.

I'm always trying to do it correctly and it seems that finding deals to '' brrrr'' this way made sense but I'm always all ears out to educate myself Louis

I would like to avoid an eviction as well since that could take months and with the 203k I have a finite time to finish the rehab.If anyone has some thoughts or advice I'm all ears. thanks 

If any other agents have some general advice for a new agent starting out or marketing/lead tips, I am all ears!!

Does anyone on here know if it is legal for me to put a lock on the thermastat in my duplex?  

Some investors like to work with different agents as to not lock themselves down to one person.

Is it not ideal to lock in great tenants as long as you can?

I could use some guidance here.I'm looking at a scenario and I'm new, so any ideas or inputs would  be great.I know a guy ready to give his house over to the bank because he is going broke.I'd like to try and buy his house for a great deal and make it a rental and I'm trying to think of the best technique. since Interest rates are high right now, I dont wanna open a new loan and get locked in at a high interest rate on a potentially long loan. so I was thinking about that promissory note idea. where I promise him to pay his loan payment and it stays in his name, assuming he has a better interest rate than what I could get. any ideas on that tactic?

I'd like to pull some out while I can still lock in a decent rate.
