Quote from @Kevin Sobilo:Monthly Rent + Monthly Debt Payments <= Gross MONTHLY Rent * 45% Obviously I made a typo.

Quote from @John Davey: Id appreciate any help, as ex. if i take out say 100k home equity loan and use 50k each as down payments/cloing costs my understanding is i cant deduct the interest?

typically with seller finance there would be some period of monthly payments and then a balloon where you pay off the balance in full. 

I have a duplex I have been renting for almost 10 years and want to use the equity in that property to use as a down payment on a storage facility.

(Down Payment Assitance Program).

If that payment is low, then you will probably need to aim for a duplex/triplex/quadplex you can get into with your VA loan and go from there.

Anthony,You would be surprised by using some old school methods like simply writing a letter like you mentioned. 

The total cost for this monthly for me is $1.00 fee for online payment for Sevier County, TN and the .73 cent stamp for Blount County, TN.

Our program offers a range of coverage levels, including basic or special form coverage and actual cash value (ACV) or replacement cost (RC) loss settlement methods.

The payments and interest are high.
