I'm in the middle of a 203K renovation and had drawings done before close in October.

BUT i wouldn't buy with the intention of selling in 18 months. you never know where the market will go, your closing costs could easily eat up the equity you built up, etc. 

Account Closed where are you looking?

Great Thank you Mark for your asnwer, very helpful.I am looking as something a little more " done deal" thank an option to by as from what io understand the seller can still sell to other parties. is there a close that stops that?

That being stated I am not closed off to completing rehabs in the future provided I had more capital at my disposal.  

The average buyers will NEVER pay close to this.

Looking deeper..this will also have an impact on appraisals and lending practices as closed sales (similar to those with seller concessions) might not accurately reflect in a properties sales price. - Cash buyers could be big 'winner's' as generally there are fewer contingencies and theoretically could obtain a lower sales price and pay their representative directly. - First time home buyers (presumedly those that most intended to bring down 'affordability' could find less housing options)..why? 

Handle closing out the lease and remaining rents4.

I collected MTR comps and ran the numbers, and found that I might get an extra 15%-20% from a MTR, but I'm not sure if the vacancy rate I plugged in was reasonable (I'm in a mid-size city and my properties are close to Universities, hospitals, and other things that attract MTR tenants, so hopefully I'd have low vacancy...but I like to play it safe with my numbers, so I try to allow for a good bit of vacancy)... ...plus, all the comps I collected were just listings this month, and I don't know how much they're affected by seasonality, so my rent data might not be super accurate... ...maybe I'll give it a test run with one unit that's opening up in May, and see how it goes...

We’re trying to close on a seller financed mixed use building.
