This can be an assurance to the seller should the buyer intend on refinancing to a traditional loan at the end if the contracted term.

In a traditional purchase you often sign an affidavit stating the EMD is yours and is not a loan from another source. 

Can I list these properties traditionally under my name as long as I disclose that it is a buy agent situation just to bring more attention to them?

@Jackson MaiaI would read ABC of real estate investing by ken McElroy, its one of the rich dad books.

FHA/traditional loans are limited to no more than 4 individual loans per person (you can't buy in the LLC name) and no more than four units (doors) per loan.  

Does anyone know of any private investors that offer decent rates with less $ down in NC then traditional lenders?

Then the real depression will set in.Guess I'll have to re-listen to Rich Dad, Poor Dad or start up The One Thing.

However, once I move out will I have to refi into a traditional mortgage since it will not be my primary? 

We have a meeting coming up Thursday, July 7, 7-8pm at 205 W Boutz Rd Building 2 in Las Cruces.Our guest speaker this month is Henry Apodaca with First American Bank and he's going to teach about the underwriting process and about investor relationships with traditional lenders (as per the request of group members).

I was told by two traditional lenders that "I" could not get a mortgage for much less than 100k (with some other caveats) , the property I am considering would likely go to market at slightly less than that 100k.
