@Lucas Schlund there are logically, 3 options:1) Buy Cash: PROS: You can get better prices on houses because you can close faster with motivated sellers and buy houses that need repairs to qualify for a mortgage (less buyer competition)CONS: takes the longest to save the funds2) Use Rehab Loan:PROS: Same as #1CONS: more expensive loans:---FHA 203(k): not that expensive, but must live in the property for 12 months before renting---DSR Rehab loan: relatively expensive and may need experience to qualify3) Mortgage on Property with Cosmetic Repairs:PROS: easiest & cheapest to doCONS: lots of competition, so can be hard to find a "deal"PM us if you'd like to discuss these in more detail.

I’ve got an opportunity to buy a rental house potentially for zero down, but I’m not sure if this is a good deal or not.

You have a governmental authority using its power to hinder and regulate private transactions creating some kind of “litmus” test based on god knows whatYou have a seller remaining in a home he sold indefinitely.You have a lender that has twice filed for foreclosure You have a profit sharing arrangement upon resale with the seller/tenantYou’re performing repairs/maintenance on a house while occupied by the seller/tenantAny or all these are lawsuit magnets.If you buy a property, and the seller is a consumer, not an investor, you should NEVER do a profit participation.
