Most of the crawls in my area are very nasty which is why I usually have to do the above.

I might also suggest that you get a second job if you can so that you can start saving extra toward your first down payment which will likely be 20%.  

I need funds for a flip or a quick cash out finance to get extra funds to throw down on my next move. 

@Priscilla Davenport It sounds to me that the middle ground would be to tell her that you'll only let her and the extras stay if she signs for 6 months - at full price as well.

The time frame is usually 6-12 months.  

I've learned that the high equity list in my area are usually leads that want top dollar for their home or do not want to sell. 

As a matter of fact, I usually have to waive title and inspection contingencies as well to have a fair fighting chance.4) I usually get 3-weeks to close.

My usual approach is to find 3/1 or 3/2 single family houses in a good school district, but my budget will be rather low for this move since my family is staying in OH and we'll be running two households. 

For where we are they usually are the sellers responsibility or split.

Our area apartments rent out for $500 and are usually 1 bedroom and other SF rental homes are in the $500-$750 depending on condition.The chamber of commerce, utilities office, and city hall all allowed us to put up a flyer and that is where the majority of our leads came from as it was people moving to town for jobs that weren't ready to buy as our potential renters.
