Because it is a more complicated process, the exchange fees are higher (around $7K versus $1200) but in the big scheme of things it could be to your benefit.When you speak with the exchange accommodators, ask them for referrals on lenders that can facilitate this, as not all lenders can make this happen.

It turned out the whole thing was a bit of a scam - the "lender" took a huge up front fee ($4,000) to do the deal - so it turned out they weren't really the lender... they were acting more like a broker...while it wasn't said this way, it appeared to be "after you pay us $4,000, we'll try to go and find you a loan."

We say we'll go 85% on that product, but honestly, it's hard to find a property that is that heavily leveraged where the rent equals or exceeds the mortgage principal, interest, taxes, insurance and HOA fees.

Or this is just basically a fee land lords have to pay ?

You have preyed on people who had good faith in you to care for their properties, for their personal health and safety; and instead now live with ongoing health issues, legal fees, and are forced to reside in unsafe conditions.
