Since 3 bed/2baths are the most desirable among buyers, I have hired a contractor to turn the bonus space on the bottom level of my home to a 3rd bedroom (an option offered by the builder, but I didn't need it at the time).

not sure how that plays in .My landlock situation was quite complicated.. and Chicago missed it.. they have been 2 years battling to get it done for me.. we had a neighbor and a state owned trail to cross. turns out the state owned trail there is NO way to force that in Oregon.. but the buyer for the property is the local metro open space. so the state kind of rolled over .. but they did not have to.. then we had the neighbor that we had to sue.. 

Can an Llc or corporation qualify as a first time home buyer or does it have to be a living breathing person?

Hey Eric, I found a contract online and the buyer read it over and agreed to terms.

Qualify for the refinance and cash the buyer outVoila... a zero-down deal (minus the obligatory closing costs) with a happy sellerDoes this sounds about right?

There is a buyer's premium of 5%, plus I'm on the hook for ALL transfer tax (2% vs1%). that said the numbers still made sense.

(if not bring some extra dollars)b) I like when buyers walk in to the house their feeling is, "I like the bells and whistles."

My buyer clients here are having trouble selling there home in State College PA. 

Both are opportunities, however I would like to ask to the Pros which one may be better as a first time home buyer/investor, as I do not have anyone in my current network that would be able to advise.
