just don't do a lease. as others have mentioned, this forces the buyer of the property to take over the lease (if its even allowed/ they qualify) and it certainly does make the property a little tougher to sell. i'm also doing a house hack, and here in CA, its made a world of difference for me. the bulk of our energy usage is in the summer when we want to run the a/c. my bill stays a constant $228/mo (i pocketed the tax credit and simply financed the panels after that grace period). instead of getting an $800 bill in the summer months, we run the a/c at a constant temperature 24/7 on auto, stay comfortable, and i typically get a little bit coming back at the end of the year. don't expect to pocket this "little bit back" by being conservative with your useage, it sort of is a use-it-or-lose-it situation... i think i got $54 back this year.

Some of your quotes from this thread will be used as supporting material in the production.As some of you may have guessed, a lot of information about her has been removed since her case came to light so it's sort of difficult to piece this story togetherIf anyone has any information they'd like to share that would help paint a clearer picture of her actions and the damage she's caused, please reach out to me.

You sort of noted in your opening comment: a track record IN REAL ESTATE, should be measured in decades, not years.  

It isn't some sort of secret bastion against all ills.

Will definitely reach out to some lenders and see what they do around these sorts of things.

Quote from @Bree Jimenez: There are many ways to skin a cat, but you should choose one way and stick with it until you figure it out or learn that it's not working.

Ideally there'd be second factor requirements on any transfer, and especially "suspicious" ones (as defined by an entire team of people who monitor that sort of thing).Cookie theft and other takeover scenarios are a thing.

on top of that there were at the time close to 40k vacant homes.. so all sorts of mortgage fraud..

So, because of this a lot of the "affordable" condos you will see in DFW have financial issues and you cannot get a mortgage loan on them, and have to pay cash. or, maybe get some sort of non conventional financing that is much more expensive requiring 25%+ down. 

It does not matter whether you are starting a real estate business, restaurant, car wash, or amazon commerce business - the lender will first look at you and your partner and how much skin you have in the game, your experience and the risk of the loan not getting paid.
