Very polite, proactive in the application process, had good references from previous landlord, has good/stable employment, and when I looked them up on Facebook their information matched everything on their application.Unfortunately, they are not able to complete the screening due to a complete lack of credit history (young applicant with no credit cards or, evidently, student loans).

It would be a good book to use as reference if you are doing major rehabs that are complete gut jobs.

FYI it's generally going to have to be "dumb person and toddler" proof to close on the purchase ("dump person and toddler" proof is an easy rule of thumb for when an appraiser is required to call something out as a "health and safety" hazard), assuming you are getting a normal mortgage.

Someone referred him a few weeks ago for me and he is working diligently to get me some solid rates.

But what @Alina Trigub was referring to was a specific process called a reverse exchange. 

I'm sure they will accept your financials if you do them on excel and not QuickBooks or equivalent, but I recommend making it look very nice and easy to read.

Account Closed Permitting is the easy part if the designer does a good job designing, labeling, and filling out the correct forms, you will be out in 1 month.

The lease agreement would not reference the estate planning docs at all to avoid any reclassification as a purchase.Option 2 - purchase, he holds mortgage.Is it possible/legal to have a mortgage where 100% or nearly 100% of payments go to principal?
