Obviously, they could say no.What I like to do, is after making payments to the seller for 6-24 months, approach them and ask if they would be willing to discount my loan balance if I pay them off early.

Many agents start as part time, and if you have the network, it won't be difficult to sell 1-2 homes every few months or refer it out. 

Common sense tells me that getting approved for 3rd mortgage when I want to buy a place for myself will be difficult, but maybe investment properties are viewed differently? 

Sam you will find it very difficult to finance these small communities.

for refinancing. could the seller leave the balance / shortfall in the deal?

@Starr Munoz Yes as @Will Pritchett said (good name by the way) it s very difficult on the MLS right now.

Investors are always looking for a good deal under market value.That being said, it's extremely difficult.

I would like to invest in property and then rent them, however I am a student and I can not work, this makes it difficult for me to get a mortgage, becouse i don't have the right credentials.After a year of university attendance I can take the SSN for work, at that point I will have the right credentials, but I do not want to wait a year !!

. ;} I find if I do balance transfers I find it is the about the cheapest loans I can get.

Corporate life isn't is all bad, if you can find something that fits your work life balance.
