Only way I would think it would affect you is if you borrowed more than the appraised value, but I am sure no bank would allow that to be an option.

The 50% varies quite a bit but it is meant to be an average of many properties over time. 

I'm always up for coffee or a meet-up if anyone in the local Kansas City area is interested.Mitch

You can always move out and rent it later, but it has to be an owner-occupied property at the time of purchase to qualify for VA financing. 

They may not want to sell but something can happen down the road that could change that. and because they own the property free and clear its always going to be an attractive prospect, and because of that somebody else is going to be marketing to them, so you want to make sure its your information they reach for when they are ready.

Train the buyer to see your value and the price will never be an issue. 

But if your desire is to be in the buy & hold arena for the long hull then this won't be an issue. 

This may be an amateur questions but it popped up in my head.

@Matt WhitermoreYour point about the potential conflict of interest could be an issue although I think if you trust someone enough to rely on them to that extent you should trust they would at least partner with you on something like that.

All of them are scumbags.What type of people would pay $200 to go be cheering idiots at what is supposed to be an educational seminar.
