On the podcasts, the term refinance is used frequently but I am not sure how it applies to this situation.

Get involved and meet some people.

I’m wondering if I should take over and rent out the rooms, while utilizing the available equity to apply the BRRR method.

And when applied to SFR and small Multi family (2 - 4 units).  

Is there any way around two year employment or do I have to keep the same job for two years and then apply for the loan?

If you are planning on going into public service and are currently at a state university you can apply those zero dollar payments towards public loan forgiveness.

Does anybody have experience doing this and can give us an estimate for the costs and headaches involved?

It's good to know that his numbers may not necessarily apply.

I'm just wondering if the process functions any different on our end with our realtor since we are communicating/negotiating directly with the sellers on price (how involved does our Realtor get when they are selling it FSBO?)

involved that we would owe our realtor compared to a normal real estate transaction?
