And they typically need board approval to even get 20.

Will the architect who did the design for the project approvals stay on board to do the CD's, and what is their charge for that design?

@Adam Bordes,Check with your local board, you might be able to pay just for MLS access.

Steps: Sign up for a class, complete the online application with DBPR, sign up for background screening, complete class (DBPR has to clear you before you can test), take state exam, join brokerage, broker submits your application to state to join their firm, license becomes active (you cannot sell real estate until your license shows active with a brokerage), and then join Board of Realtors for your area. 

Like most things in life, it's a double edge sword.Buyers benefits include being able to negotiate terms, lower down payment, not having to qualify for a loan with a bank (if you have issues preventing approval).  

I’m here to ask the experts which route I should take, if any.Basic details about me: I’m 34, recently married and no kids but planning to within the next 2 years(this detail is just for you to know that I don’t have much restrictions on moving aside from commuting)I currently own a coop in Yonkers, NY with roughly 50k in equityI am willing to invest in the tristate area but if I have to live in the property I have to limit my distance to Bronx, Westchester and Connecticut.I also have enough saved to buy a 275k property with 20% down or the max allowed with an FHA loan (this is without having to sell my coop)I have excellent credit which will qualify me for loan without an issueThe way I see it I have 3 options in order to get started: Sell my current coop, buy a triplex in a worst neighborhood with more TLC needed, and move to into the property for at least 2 years to qualify for an FHA loan.

You could qualify for an FHA loan with 3.5% down.

Selling the membership interest in a multi asset LLC would not qualify for 1031 treatment. 

(b) Seller shall also pay an amount not to exceed $X,XXX.XX to be applied in the following order: Buyer’s Expenses which Buyer is prohibited from paying by FHA, VA, Texas Veterans Land Board or other governmental loan programs, and then to other Buyer’s Expenses as allowed by the lender. 

I have recently been told that a property owner can qualify for a conventional loan (which requires the owner to occupy the property) by maintaining an office on the property.
