There are ways around it and you can have the borrower sign a letter to forefeit his homestead privileges (giving them a few $$ would make them happy).

Just got a text from my realtor: "Oct 3rd..both leaving".I'm happy with that.  

I would recommend that you sell the property for as high you can as long as the market will pay, while at the same time leaving just enough margin for the end buyer to make a the deal profitable for themselves and be happy at the end of the day.I see many newer investors leaving money on the table because they think small and sell the properties by asking themselves " how much would I be content making on this deal?"

A happy neighbor can be your best ally while you are upgrading a home. 

We are always happy to help!

I am very happy to be apart of the BiggerPockets family and look forward to meeting great people!

There is such a large percentage of unsophisticated owners and poor money management that finding a distressed seller is usually as hard as spending 5 minutes at IHOP or a liquor store.I'm happy to help yo if I can, (NO CHARGE), but I need to know first what exactly are you looking for criteria wise?

I would be more than happy to discuss.

@David Carr - However it shakes out, I'm just happy to hear that you're taking action and getting in.

We've discussed it with a few prospective tenants and they seemed genuinely happy about the suggestion.If you want your landlord to start reporting your payments to help build/solidify your credit, I think you should talk to them and see what options they can come up with.
