I'm an architect and developer looking into buying houses to flip.

If the seller is offering zero compensation, that property could be out of budget from inception or drastically reduce the seller's potential buying pool as initially it might appear out of the buyer's budget or feasibility if required to compensate their side directly. 

Hi community,As I think about the exit strategy for going from one house hack to the next, I have realized that it would be difficult to cash out refinance and buy the next house with a minimum down payment from a primary resident loan.

While the support sounds nice, I can buy quite a bit of consultation and legal help for $60K, and that doesn't even figure the royalty.Nothing against the franchises, I spoke with PMI and was impressed with their business model, I just don't like the idea of paying fees to be restricted operationally. 

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

In my opinion principal reduction is the best option instead of buying interest rate since money will not go directly towards principal.

All were buy & holds, all cash flowed well, all have at least doubled in value.

That is for people trained to buy property the correct way, but most people aren't trained so they resort to the aforementioned options. 

I would recommend finding the top lenders in the area where you're buying and gaining a good understanding of their terms.

Additionally you are released from any restrictions for occupancy after one year.So example I buy a property near the smokey in tennesses right I go up in that area every year for one week I would still have the keep the property still vacant for six months or can I have it up on the OTAS till the week I go ?
