Secured creditors in order to take the property are to put in a motion to lift the stay.

That's a relationship you should hold close as they could really help with future challenging acquisitions that are viewed less favorably by banks.

This strategy takes advantage of forced appreciation & favorable primary residence financing. 

And I can recall only once that a title company released earnest money to the Buyer without requiring the mutual release - worked out in my Buyer client's favor so I didn't complain.

I thought we were supposed to have rates that were more favorable?

No one will ever thank their landlord for doing them a favor- at some point, they'll have to pay market rents and you'll be the evil slumlord when that day comes, no matter how nice you've been up until that point. 

I'm starting to liquidate my city houses in favor of the suburbs.  

Hi @Leonard La Rocca III welcome to BPWith a goal to house hack your option will be much better and tremendously more favorable.1. $50k gets you the house but leaves you very little room for value add. 

Lazerow said if you act promptly, the seller will have a greater likelihood of having some of the "windfall $" to pay your client when a judgment or decision in your camp's favor is rendered.

And you assume the rest of the mortgage that you're already guaranteeing.Your idea to refinance immediately after to get favorable financing is perfectly fine.
