My name is David Hausner and I recently purchased a Single Family Residence with LoanGuys.com.

There's a few different ways to focus on a lower rate such as with house hacking and making the investment your primary residence, requesting a significant closing credit from the sellers for standard rate buy-downs (which I've had great success with recently), or utilizing lenders who offer short term rate lowering solutions such as 2-1 rate buy downs (again, ideally paid for by the sellers).

I'm not sure that the property being perfect for your investment criteria makes it unique enough to warrant a judge forcing the sale, especially considering that it was not listed for sale to begin with and that you're going to be using it for an investment property not a primary residence.

There are a bunch of ways to do this depending on the property type, usage, and you (income and credit scores).If this is a primary residence, you can get up to 90% of the value of your home minus any exisitng debt. 

I am going to be moving in the spring and will begin renting out my current place of residence at that time.

If no one but owner-occupants can STR... then that should mean opportunity for owner-occupants who STR their primary residences in many jurisdictions.- Large remodels or construction projects (Live in Flip) can be self-managed, worked on directly, and the value add, after 2 years, is largely tax free up to certain limits. - Many areas around the country allow for ADU Construction - house-hackers enjoy similar benefits to remodeling projects by being naturally on-site for ADU construction. 

Investment Info:Single-family residence other investment.

Congrats on orthodontic residency, though I know residency will be time consuming as well. 

For my personal residence - yes, i would love to own it free and clear as it's not an investment but rather liability which I want to minimize as much as possible.  

So everything hinges on appreciation, which could come back with inflation.Primary residences are often not good rental assets.
