What a way to get creative and make win win for both parties!

I have a buyer client who purchased a property with owner financing in order to 'win' against multiple bids. 

It depends on your goals and what is a deal for you as there are many ways to win with a house hack.

Even more to the point, I made the cold calculation that It was also always more lucrative to spend time on my business than trying to figure out how to win a few % points on my savings and/or worrying about it.

But you can't win unless you play.

my last closing was last friday, off market single family in Miami gardens that came from a post card

I’d sent him many areas he could apply for help and asked for documentation he was struggling with rent to document but he didn’t follow up with the request and to document he was having trouble or met the requirements for aid.Regardless, what got to me was a statement he made that he was able to start making payments after catching up with his credit card debt.

So, you need to have some debt, even if its a credit card that you pay off in full every month, to show that you can handle it.So, it really depends on your finances and your goals. 

With funds going into the project from the tenant it sounds like a win-win

Unless o course the renter wins the lottery and buys the big house.
