It’s a bummer it couldn’t work out for them but it seems that every place to rent has it’s “hiccups” and some places are just not a good fit for some families.I can understand your reasoning.

I planned to put in money out of pocket towards renovations to force appreciation, get to the 78/22 debt to value, and eliminate PMI.I got quotes from 4 different contractors. 2 didn’t work out, 1 was very expensive, but number 4 was perfect.

So that 29k for rehab should work out nicely for my business.

Do lenders typically work with both options or would I need to find different specialized lenders to work out each option?

I have a buyer that is willing to work out a seller financing deal.

TheHouseConnection.com/JohnIf the places I’m looking at in the next week don’t work out I will let you know. 

Assuming that doesn't work out at all, does cash or HELOC work "better" for one of these pursuits? 

I hear Goat Yoga is getting pretty popular.

@John Chan how did things work out for you?

That did not work out well cause it was very competitive and the prices vs the properties just didn’t make sense to me.
