I know many resources are paid-for, so I would like to get a better idea of the benefits of certain sites before shelling out the dinero.Thanks!

Ask yourself, “What benefit is there in having that unit vacant?”

Any of these loan types that ignore standard income will carry a higher interest rate, likely will be an adjustable rate mortgage, have higher downpayment requirements, and sometimes are only 15 or 20 year loans...which also makes your payment higher. 

In Oakland, if an owner moves into a property, and that property is 3 units or fewer, then after 2 years of the owner living in one of the units, the property is no longer subject to rent control and all rents can be adjusted to market rate. 

I would love to find a way to make a deal that benefits all parties.

@Joe PaolettaMaybe it would be best to adjust a little and do cashiers checks or money orders.

I’m the type of person that wants to understand every part of something I want to commit too.My question for BP nation is there any benefits in getting ur Real Estate license and your Home inspector license just to have a better understanding their aspects.

There is usually no real benefit to you as a buyer in working directly with the listing agent. 

@Tony Marcelle, I've never quite understood how people get Sellers to let them lease their property (instead of outright buying) for significantly less than the market rate, especially when the Seller is being asked to approve sub-leasing for higher amounts, which the Seller would not benefit from.

Infrastructure costs, traffic, property tax increases, increased housing, fire, police and maintenance can offset the benefits.
