We've enjoyed digitizing all payments, streamlining service, as well as infilling new homes.

While I love the idea of eventually owning a paid-off primary residence, I’m debating whether it’s smarter to sell our current house and use the equity as a down payment on the new home or to keep it as a rental.

Let your criteria do the filtering for you.Regarding retention and renewals, the only time I have asked people to leave is when they have had rent payment issues and/or damaged the property. 

Both of these allow you to low down payment loans to buy a primary residence with fixed interest rates.

You only need a place to track tenant information, payment history, maintenance, etc.

My suggestion would be to select someone with the most forum posts or most reviews.

MattIRA sells and owner finances the property for 200k and gets 30k down payment.

Know that every long term lender will require a survey and if something comes up on it when you are trying to sell or refi, you could get stuck in hard money without an easy or quick way to get out.Is there a pre-payment penalty?

One has a 162k mortgage, $1250 tax,Insurance,%3.5 30 yr, worth at least 750,000 LTR rent $3200, #2- Los Angeles worth   $750k as well just did a remodel of 150 K, mortgage is 75,000 payment $700.tax,Ins, Mtr/str hybrid.

Maybe a better question would have been if you know how much money you have for a down payment on a property?
