I think I just found a loan officer that’s well versed in unconventional loans and can help me secure a small loan for my first investment :D thank you for your reply! 

Depending on your state you may need a separate bank account for your tenant's security deposit.

And offer #4 is a distant last place: The buyer could walk on day 29 if they are unable to secure financing with no consequences.

They aren’t secured to a footer, they are just kinda jammed between the basement floor and some of the major beams on the bottom of the house.

Hence if something like this happens and you collect the security deposit, you have that paperwork to fall back on if it goes to court. 

2) I’ve allowed pets for 20+ years and have yet to have pet damage in excess of the security deposit. 3) once you’re vacant an extra month you could have replaced the carpet with the lost rent. 4) what’s the plan when you wait all this time and then your tenant brings in their ESA dog?

The advantages are twofold - you secure favorable financing terms for your primary residence, and when you're ready to move on to the next property, you have the option to turn your initial purchase into a lucrative investment.

Make sure you get a signed w9 with a social security number if it’s over $600.

The company either owns the land and buildings or secures long-term leases for both company-operated and franchised restaurant sitesFranchisees pay McDonald's a portion of their sales in rent (up to 16% in the U.S.), royalty fees (around 5%), and advertising fees (about 5%). 

If you have a solid other source of income like a W2 and it is secure, and it can pay the bills, then this might be worth trying.
