The move is in an effort to accelerate our ability to save capital (see Set for Life by Scott Trench) as we will be living with my parents rent free (we are currently renting for $2,000/mo in Orange).

I got the deal with seller carrying note for 12 months at $1,000 a month principal only, no interest, and tenant pays $1,200 a month so having him stay and pay is not a bad option but he is constantly late on paying so I could have the eviction option after I give the 60 day to evict, but the yard is full of cars and trailers and if he can move those out it will save me money as well and he will be paying down the loan each month, but games can start if I wait or hold off.

A few hundred bucks could save you thousands in taxes.You could 1031 this one into another property is that aligns with your near term plans.

, I wanted to resolve this amicably and listed the house in the market, the tenant now says they are willing to let go half security deposit, I think it's fair for them to pay rent till I re-rent the house

My plan is to utilize the license when buying and selling my own investment/personal properties, to help save money and one day, open up a property management company.

I have been saving money since I started working 4 years ago and think I have a decent chunk of change saved up to get me to my first deal within the next few months.

My savings account is giving me cash flow.  

They might have a junior agent willing to try it out.You as a buyer have a certain amount of capital which took a long time to save and make it count which is understandable.

I am working on that but even after I save enough money for repairs, I wouldn't want to put all that towards a down payment so I was wondering if there was a way to avoid that.

Save for 7-8 months and get my 20% down of 10k on it and go to a bank which isn't my favorite option or maybe since I was reading on here that life insurance company's have a very low interest rate and like to invest in multi family buildings that would be another good option.
