Conventional lenders have the best rate and terms and highest LTV (as you expressed above) Cons are they screen you a ton#2 use a commercial lender as Brie suggested.

Min 12 month ratings from 3 tradelines but some loans will want to see 24 mos, commonly expressed as 0X30X24 meaning no 30 day lates within a 24 month period.

@Jacob BriggsHi Jake, I started the same way you are expressing interest in starting.

You've basically just stated that you are wanting to buy it with the express intent of it not being your primary residence which is pretty much the number 1 requirement of an FHA loan (and you did so using a profile with your full name listed).

When we moved from Japan we were in Transit Billets over there....he was at David Grant Medical Center for 13 years before he retired.I am very close to someone that just used Real Estate Express for PreLicensing and the  the weekend before the test took a webex through "REal Estate Trainers" in Southern Ca and passed the state test the firat time. 

Everything that I've read expresses a different cost.

Additionally, I reached out to him last year to express my interest in purchasing it, and I think he wants to give me the opportunity as a courtesy.

@Shaun Weekes I thought I did answer the question in that I only expressed an interest in selling. it could rent for 7500/8000, however a refi with P&I plus taxes and insurance would cost 8/9k monthly.

If not or express that they won't, then you can serve them with a Notice to Vacate or...if after the timeframe is up for the new addendum...a Cure or Quit notice if they are still using the fireplace.Though, for fireplaces, I wouldn't even get into all that.
