The property is conveyed to the ultimate buyer in a simultaneous cash sale just as it would be with a 1031 exchange.At this point, you’ll have interest income for 30 years and the taxes will be due when you receive the last and final balloon payment.If you choose to, you can “monetize” the installment sale by getting a loan.

My actual lease is not maintained on the site, I just save that document elsewhere.

So I can house hack and save money and watch my renters at the same tim

I don't have tons of money saved up to be able to buy a house in a part of Denver that I want to live in.

Just be honest with them and save everyone the time.

I can understand why your agent might be shying away from the idea, but it would ultimately depend on what you are looking to do.

I have been saving all my receipts relating the property.  

Since I ended up putting so little down on my primary and have savings left over, last week I was pre-approved for 25% down on a duplex out of state at 4.75%. 

I think knowing this ultimately helps you set meaningful goals, develop a plan of action and drive your overall success.  

Aside from that you may be stuck having to save up the money for a future purchase to keep your risks as low as possible starting out.
