Would definitely want a strong private agreement but all parties could remain on title with allocations.

Even though it's private the sellers note will be recorded as a lien against the home.

The lender I spoke with in the new area said our DTI is the biggest issue, and that selling one of the properties would solve that problem, but selling one house hack for another of a similar price/cash flow isn't something I want to do.Still fairly new to REI so any and all advise is greatly appreciated.

I recently had a conversation with my lender and mentioned I would be purchasing a property as my primary residence. 

Ironically, the offers we had from private entities to purchase the property were approximately $200k less than the final price.Why was this the case?

Are you leveraging the stability of conventional loans, the speed of hard money loans, the flexibility of private money, the creativity of seller financing, or the collaborative approach of partnerships?

If you can shed any tips or know any FHA lenders drop them down below for me. 

Check in with @Joseph Chiofalo they are a Nationwide lender he'll point you in the right direction. 

I'm a 25 year residential real estate agent/broker in the Lehigh Valley.  The last 3 years I have been transitioning into investments and development.  I would like to become a full-time real estate investor. I'm work...

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?
