I have just started in a 3-day training for the Lee Arnold broker certification program and thus far just completed the online material required for preparation. 

One housing authority wouldn’t even entertain the request, while another was open to it because it was an affordable housing property, requiring just an application for the exemption.From my experience, dealing with government agencies, especially when trying to save money or get financial benefits, can be a slow process.

I suspect maximizing the investment might make it slightly less desirable as an owner or at least the renovations might have lower ROI if sold to a homeowner.

Hi @Jon Pflueger to answer your questions requires more information. 

To me that is requires major compliments, and the review I posted is not appropriate.They really are going above and beyond in this circumstance and its not fair to them to keep this post online just because I wasn't able to reach them and discuss this over the weekend right after new years.PLEASE reconsider taking the post down.

Once your investment is finalized, you are required to use SunCoast PM.

Also your permitting process, type or land, grade of land, if underpinning is required will all play a factor into your cost. 

Because there are nuances to seller financing, a lot of space would need to be devoted to covering the subject to make sense, and that requires sitting down to a cup of coffee for a long discussion.

If your home is newer, requires little maintenance, and doesn't experience a vacancy for at least 12 months, your $300 cash flow can build up a tidy reserve to get you through.

I also require additional security deposit and sometimes a guarantor if they were approved in this manner.I also agree that this situation sounds like a pattern not a one-time mistake or short term tough situation that caused this.
