Local governments could only regulate the rentals in the same way as other properties in neighborhoods, a restriction that cities and counties oppose.The House Commerce Committee on Thursday approved the proposal (HB 1011), with Democrats objecting that decisions about vacation rentals – which have sparked backlash from some homeowners who complain about raucous parties, parking issues and a steady stream of strangers in neighborhoods – are best left up to local officials.Despite the objections of local government officials, House and Senate leaders brought together a host of affected parties, including Realtors®, hotel operators and advertising platforms, to strike a deal that has eluded the Legislature for years.

Have her get pre-approved ASAP, so there's as little time between the 2 closing as possible.

Find a mortgage broker, get your pre-approvals inline first and then that will help you figure out what you can afford and greatly narrow you list of properties to look for. 

Just be sure to ask if people are already pre-approved before showing the property and if they want to buy then be sure to use an attorney.A bunch of realtors called to ask if I wanted to list with them so I put a "NO I DON'T WANT TO LIST WITH A REALTOR" in the ad at some point which helped a bit.

My loan is at 7.875 and the wrap around mortgage is at 7.000 I’m thinking this was done on purpose - I have a few options but need help understanding my options - If I ask them to refinance and their credit is not able to get them approved I’m stuck  I’m tired of not making any money on this and it looks like if I pay off the loan I would generate some profit from the interest rate alone which in this case is 7% If i tell the bank that I want to payoff the loan do I have to pay any fees?

Ability to use a low down payment loan through the home possible program because FHA would not be approved on this as-is sale.
