However, finding and starting a relationship with a small local bank can be very beneficial.

The videos and interviews really have gotten me to thinking of investing my hard earned money differently besides my usual 401k/mutual funds/stocks. 

Of course the two parties can mutually agree to some other arrangement, but normally the lease would run through the end of the next rental period and not be prorated.

It's also a small town where I have mutual connections to every one of these people.Then there's one other applicant that's moving to town and is thinking about renting instead of purchasing.

@Nick G. it can be beneficial to hire a public adjuster in such a situation, they can help you get what you deserve from the company.

It seems as if it would be beneficial as a realtor to connect with house flippers to find good opportunities in the market early.

Hi, I was thinking about putting additional money into a mutual fund.

. =) I am currently really interested in the brrrr strategy however, I do feel like getting my feet wet in any investing would be beneficial. 

There are also non-qm (not conventional) options that are asset-based (qualify with cash flow of the property not personal income) that could be beneficial to you.

I am hopeful that there is a seller financing option that would be beneficial for both parties.
