Lease terms are non-negotiable.

Too many people just do non-owner occupied, or maybe non-owner occupied high equity.

Anyone ever gift property to a non-profit.

@Mateusz SkibaIf you are occupying your primary residence and don’t plan to move to the next property, you will need 20% or more down since that will be a non owner occupancy investment property.FHA loans are for owner occupancy only, not for investment properties.

thanks for everyone's input, greatly appreciated. while I agree from a buyer's perspective the house will look better after everything is cleaned up, does everyone think by putting it on the market before the clean up has finished I am putting it in a negative light that may affect sales even after the clean up is done ? 

"the Fire Certificate of Occupancy program requires all one and two-unit non-owner occupied residences to register with the City."

I hadn't found BP yet, but I found a SFR that stunk, was filthy, but was sound and only needed cosmetic work and cleaning.

Does anyone have any ideas for non-traditional financing that we could try?

But as to the lessor, he has taken back properties from his NNN tenants who failed to perform, such as non payments or bankruptcies.

I had a tenant who passed away, even though she had been clean for a while and had her parents helped, her ex-boyfriend came back into her life and overdosed her.
