My business partner and I have been pulling listings, visiting properties, and working our way through the Deal Calculators to try to gain understanding of how to properly evaluate MFH deals.

Any agreement between the buyer and seller must be disclosed to the first mortgage lender.  

Prefer Agents that know very well to source " of the market deals " but it's not a must.

it must depend on your market.

In order to defer all tax in a 1031 you must purchase at least as much as you sell and you must use all of the proceeds. 

You must MUST talk with a CPA.

She stated that she screwed up, and is terribly sorry, and not sure how this happened or how it was not caught by anyone....but that the loan product (Freddie Mac home possible) that they are using...went through everyone, passed underwriting, and then was selected for quality control and was noted that one of the home possible policies stipulates that: Ownership of other residential property The Borrower must not have an ownership interest in any other residential property as of the Note Date, or the Effective Date of Permanent Financing for Construction Conversion and Renovation Mortgages, except as stated below.
