If you wants to find a property in Nashville you should define your investment goals, research the market, choose a location, assess your budget and financing options, choose a particular type of property, become acquainted with local regulations, network with professionals, conduct thorough property search and due diligence, think about one’s long-term investment strategy and assess risks and opportunities.You can locate a good home in Nashville by taking these steps and consulting with knowledgeable local consultants.Good luck!

With that said- there are other programs that can accomplish similar benefits in terms of minimal down payment options, etc. 

In majority of instances seller financing for the seller is a horrible idea and should only be an option when the home doesn’t get conventional financingMany will disagree with above which is fine - it’s similar to winning lottery and taking lump sum over payments.

I'm currently exploring the possibility of buying my first home in the Pine Hills area of Orlando, with the intention of house hacking.

I am looking at a mixed use property and I am not too familiar with the loan options available. 

Few options to consider:1) contact FREC to report violations of their duties as licensed real estate brokerage.

Thank you Steven, I have a great contractor in Ohio, very good so far but yes I see it as very risky so weighing my options....

The great thing about doing a 1031 exchange is that you have infinite exchange options.

Alternatively, if something were to arise in our life (emergency or otherwise) while this money was tied up in an investment, we're left with few good options. 2) Time is not something I have much of.

If you're content with holding just this property for now then the cash flow + lower rate option may be best.Hopefully you find helpful!
