Credit (loans) become much more difficult to obtain and if available you pay a MUCH higher interest rate with a much higher down payment requirement2.

I would strongly consider building equity to make a stronger down payment and further decrease your monthly cost. 

Wondering if you have advice on me just being the bank, where I purchase a house and structure a rent to own with him and have him build up a 30% cash down payment and some equity and then me sell the house to him at a locked in price.  

Use some for a down payment on your next home.

So I don't want to spend $90K on a down payment and closing costs and only have $25K to fix it up.

If there are no other red flags on the tenancy (i.e payment issues, lease defaults) I would still renew tenants (even if they are a little corky!) 

Prepare financially by saving for down payments, improving your credit score, and setting aside emergency reserves.

Hi all! Do most Lenders require 20% down on a land purchase? I've spoken with Vystar Credit Union, AgSouth and Navy Federal. They all stated 20% is needed. So I was just wondering if its the industry standard for that...

Should it simply be left in a trust and payments made to the trust? 

If it’s verbal, they’ll need to document any prior communication or payment records to establish the relationship.If the PM is completely unresponsive, they may want to send a formal written demand for communication and payments via certified mail.
