I went owner occupied either conventional or FHA.  3-5% down at the time you only had to live there 1 year and then you can move out or move on. 

Nobody will take better care of your property than yourself and nobody will be as invested into as yourself. 

I don't personally care about checks anymore so that wasn't an important feature for me. 

Before finalizing a decision to sell, I thought I’d get some thoughts from the BP forumThe only obvious factor I know to try to head off a problem is to carefully screen applicants.

What are other ways to get this property with out having to owner occupy, FHA, conventional?

While I was running my inspection business, trying to build a real estate business, and taking care of 4 rentals with family, I was also going to night school to get a degree in MIS.

But after working with him, I realized he was very systematic and mostly cared about closing deals without much care for the client's long term needs.Here’s an example: I had a $10K escrow with the seller—$5K due upfront and $5K after the inspection.

They took care or the property. 

We take care of the entire process—from sourcing and purchasing properties to managing renovations and the final sale or rental.

@Josh Smith just like any rental property you buy, manage, rehab, etc. nobody cares as much about your bottom line as you do.
