Yes, there's broke college girls on there looking for a guy to pay her regularly, but, there are also business women, doctors, etc, who also realize the need to trim the fat.

This creates two challenges for me:1) I'd like to do moderate to significant renovations on the units, and my business partner plans on owner-occupying one of the units, so we would need to permanently vacate one or, depending on the property, even all of the units. 2) In order to make the numbers work I'd need to dramatically increase rents (by several hundred dollars/month) to bring them up to market levels. 

Thanks Ask the seller to carry the note (owner financing) for a short period of time while you find other permanent financing.

I could get permanent financing and only have 2-3k of my own money in it after all is said.  

In the time since I first joined biggerpockets,  we've launched a roofing company that's being franchised nationally, a toxicology lab, a scrubs company with Patch Adams' foundation, and a handful of other ventures - but investing in real estate I feel like a permanent neophyte!

This is a list of properties whereas the Owner has a different mailing “permanent” address. 9/10 times this means they are a landlord.

I don't think you will find permanent financing at a lower rate than a Fannie-subsidized 30YF mortgage.

Lost 8 pounds of fat and only 1 pound of lean body mass in the process.
