I put up one of my properties for sale and I received a verbal offer that I liked but the agent is asking if would be willing to accept 20% and interest only financing for 2 years.

Higher cash flow comes in later years as rents in tge market go up and you benefit from your low interest rate.

Some of the groups are made up of local investors with all kinds of different experiences and are pretty helpful with resources when you need them. 

The lowest barrier to entry I've seen for house hacking would be to find areas with grant loans, there are several here in central OH, they are general "majority minority" areas, but many local banks are incentivized to do loans in these areas, so you can often get into a 2-4 unit with no money down, and 15K towards closing costs and rate by down. 

My tenants are responsible for keeping up the yard and snow removal.

Brought all parties together and physically helped my friend go through the house to pack up family heirlooms What was the outcome?

They're typically more expensive than a bank or conventional financing but can close much faster and tend to accept borrowers who can't achieve bank financing.

My recommendation is also to do a plumbing test while piers are dug up. 

I am 59 years old and i am getting close to retiring, so i need some other forms income.
