Those real estate agents ONLY work with traditional lenders is why they say that.

BTW, this is where having a real estate agent is useful as they manage these details and explain them to you so you don't have surprises like this. 

Your right, its vague because im new to real estate mf and i dont know the questions to ask.

I’m new to BiggerPockets and the real estate industry.

Hey BP family,I am new to real estate investing but would love some experts insights so I don't get burned on my first dealThis is the property: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/724-N-22nd-Ave-Bozeman-MT...My thoughts are my wife, 8 month old and I could live in Unit A for a year or two while we rent out Units B & C to help cover the mortgage payments until we build/buy a more desirable family ranch home with min 10+ acres which we've been looking for but have yet to find.My hesitation is I've never been a landlord and am reluctant to get in over my head with property problems while simultaneously growing an online business and being a new father.After some negotiation we counter offered 895k with a 2-1 rate buy down for 20k and the sellers have verbally accepted but since our offer expired we need to resubmit.
