I want to be sure you are thinking this through, considering all angles, and making an informed, wise decision.

Of course, there are some exceptional cases where the seller might consider it.

I would consider single family homes as well but multifamily is the ultimate goal.

It definitely escalates the situation though, so I'd research the process and carefully consider the option before embarking on it...but if you pursue that route you can likely escrow Dec 1 rent and I'm sure that will get some attention. 

Their 14.75% fee seems high however considering they fill the property for you, manage the members and collect payments it's justifiable and you still cash flow over traditional renting.

If it were the off season and I was having trouble renting I may consider it again but overall I don't think it is worth the extra vacancy but if you are doing MTR it is definitely worth making the right connections. 

I'd consider myself an advanced, tax-savvy, solo investor with quite a bit of experience. 

This type of loan is generally considered riskier for lenders, often resulting in higher interest rates.In summary, the key difference lies in the borrower's liability and the lender's recourse options in the event of default.

Here are key factors to consider when searching for a reliable broker.A good private money broker plays a pivotal role in facilitating real estate investments, serving as a bridge between investors seeking capital and private lenders willing to finance those investments.

@Ramada Evans- 1) if buying as a rental and  financing it - your down payment will need to be a min of  15% of the  purchase price   ( so thats either  30,750 at 205K price or 32,850 at the 219K price ...so  not much of a down payment  difference   2) if it appears that there isnt much competition  or interest in theproperty - the lower price might be OK   3)  you might also consider   asking the seller for a seller  credit you can use towards some of your loan costs   4) get pre approved  if you arent already pre approved
