If you’re west of 315 then not so much in the near future. 

If you end up giving them the notice to vacate do not offer the option to sign a lease.

In future we could also rent out the main house that we currently live in.

Quote from @Xuming Yu:I would reach out to Goosehead and their should be a broker in your area..

HUD is not an accupant. 

Both things are happening.Buyer agent commission is still negotiated up front with sellers although there is the option not to compensate a buyer's agent - aka have the buyer pay their agent.We also tell buyer's agents to include their commission in the offer.

Thanks Jonathan - do you have recommendation on if it's best then to flip in this market?

If not covered by the lease, why didn't the seller provide you a lease addendum about this ahead of time?

Is there a market out there in which this could work?

@Natasha Rooney rates will also be different depending on if you have Credit or not.
