The lender just needed to see payments being made for 12 months out of a bank account that was not mine.

However, some buyers may be turned off to a partial replacement because of aesthetics or just bias.

I am just curious.

My first recommendation is to look for a real estate agent to help you understand the market.You can also do your own research by finding where other investors are buying properties by Zip code in your target area.Best way to find properties outside the MLS is to get in contact with wholesalers in the your market and reach out to sellers directly by targeting the subdivisions you want a house.Also, you have to consider how much rehab you are willing to do or if your just want a property that I moving in ready

I know we could get houses for cheap, I am just not sure what the rental market is doing out there.

My question is regarding finding a hard money or private lender that lends with notes as collateral instead of just properties?

Just want to be prepared for the worst scenario if we end up in the eviction court.

I mean if you want to pay it go ahead, but just be advised you are getting taken to the cleaners. 

So just as Bill said above, you will pay capital gains on any amount you sell over their basis.
