This is a perfect time to get your qualified intermediary involved if you don't already have one.

If in Texas, a lease purchase option longer than 180 days without consent from the lender to receive payment from the tenant/buyer is not possible.Also, you can assume the obligations of a VA loan -- it is a non-qualified assumption - meaning the lender is not qualifying or approving of the assumption. 

For curiosity I asked Co-Pilot about it and got this response:The language in your CC&Rs stating that “no business or bed and breakfast is allowed” can indeed impact the interpretation of short-term rentals, but it may not be as straightforward as it seems.Definition of Business: Courts have often ruled that short-term rentals (like those listed on platforms such as Airbnb) do not necessarily qualify as a “business” in the traditional sense.

Thanks so much for your help in advance I would see if you could do a rent to own or seller finance. you are going to have trouble getting financing without income for a primary residence as the lender has to follow federal guidelines and your ability to repay - which if you do not have income that makes it challenging to qualify. 

I have no education qualifying me to even pretend like I understand the true value of each coin.

My customer went to them 1 month ago with property criteria and was told they could do the loan no problem; only to be told days before closing the property does not qualify.

Abatement would qualify.  

I use Facebook groups a lot but vet the contacts  that I find there  with caution..we do have a property manager at moment .She has had no luck yet finding viable qualified tenants unfortunately . 

I own and manage mostly class B and B+ single family homes and condos, but I have heard that evictions have ticked up in class C, that’s one of the problems with chasing cash flow is getting into class C and dealing with a tenants that are not as well qualified and higher risk of default to begin with.

Instead of using your personal income, employment history and DTI to qualify, a lender would look at the income or potential income of the property to make sure it cash flows after taxes and insurance are accounted for.
