So what you are dealing with sounds like a pissing match, with possession maneuvers on both sides (one party is "claiming" the space with pools & bikes, the other demanding the kids/ party never use the driveway space).

You should easily be able to find a market that matches your goals.

I have been told it should be in your name, but I use bank statements from an LLC that does not directly match the name I use on the purchase contract and I have yet to get pushback and have had a bunch of offers accepted.If you don’t have the funds then find a private lender that is willing to write you a letter stating that the funds to close will be available regardless of appraisal or home inspection on the property.

If so, review it to ensure it matches the estoppel certificate4.

It's been a long search to find something where the numbers worked and amenities matched. 

I entered the figures into 2020 tax software but the amount due does not match my understanding of tax computation.

Where I feel safe and where she feels safe don't always match up!

You will end up paying slightly more in the end but these folks can save you a lot of time and trouble matching you with someone willing to lend to first-timers.

Some folks prefer the long lease, but we have done it both ways and as long as you do a good job on screening/matching the resident to the property they both seem to work.Cheers

Overall, once you've got goals in mind and know how much you can afford it will be easier to find deals based on areas you can afford to be in or not that should match your financial goals.Hope this helps!
