I’m in a similar boat as you with a property under contract and seeking best terms for the financing (the seller is a friend of mine whose flexible on closing date but I don’t want to keep him waiting either). 

I am seeking advice on a situation with a tenant.

I started putting a 2 months rent penalty for breaking the lease early .

Hi TD,I am seeking the same thing.

I'm sure this is NOT you but I'm just providing the example here.The best suggestion I can give you is to seek out good lenders in your area to be PREQUALIFIED for a loan. 

Hello - a good friend recommended I join BP to learn and hopefully get some advice on a question that I had called him seeking answers for. 

You can sell or refi after the Reno, pre-pay penalty is not allowed on conventional market, you can sell it anytime you want.  

I plan to start off in a 2-4 Unit Owner Occupied Unit. my first question is, how long should the investor live in an OO unit before they rent out their space to seek for another OO unit? 

Also, both sides of my family have real estate experience and I grew up watching them in real estate, but always seek to grow my knowledge.

Im seeking either a private money lender or a company that will refinance the 6 units with a lower seasoning period.
