Hey, I recently signed up for a broker course so I can get my license and I'm wondering if the course is difficult? 

Can you provide your experience and the degree of difficultly in acquiring property this way?

It'd be a difficult situation to get done honestly, if the tenant you're proposing to replace you was a strong enough candidate, a conventional finance options would love to do this with you.

But for an LP especially it is difficult. 

Meeting the right people, discovering the right neighborhoods, and more than anything else, getting started was the most difficult part of the whole process.

You might burn some human capital (like, frustrate your broker/banker/lawyer or the other side) if you go under contract then find something you don't like and don't buy... but obvious I'd prefer to do that than to buying a house with expensive or difficult issues.I know from experience that FHA loans for 3+ family homes can be a little challenging (they have to meet a "self sufficiency" test, where the rents for the units have to substantiate the carrying cost of the property).

@Ben Ballinger - typically I'll show the seller my calculations (income approach, sales comparison, cost and final value reconciliation) and reiterate the previous discussion that I'm an investor and if the numbers don't work, its nothing personal.Working with a realtor/agent can make this conversation more difficult, in my opinion.  

How difficult is the property to rent out?

But then again banks are not going to want to loan so it could be very difficult to sell.I think short term rental, and managing yourself would get you a lot closer to break even or even cashflow positive than long term rental.

When both parties are stable or competent yes lol His soon to be ex-Wife is a drug addict and alcoholic. the property is now with a realtor to be sold and she will change showing dates or say she is not available etc. making it very difficult .
