My rent is 3k a month and my payment is 4k a month.

Purchase Price: $380kTaxes/Insurance: $9,300 yearly (estimated)Downpayment: Up to $100kMy vision for the next 1-2 years is to live in the house and use the MIL suite income to pay most of the mortgage while saving enough for another down payment on another home that would become our primary residence.

One thing to take not is to figure out whether the condo is warrantable or non-warrantable.

Non-owner management becomes much more limited. 

Last year I looked at 7 properties that had solar. 5 of them were “Unbuyable”  at the same price as non-solar homes. 1 was a wash and 1 was paid off and it sold for about 1% more than non-solar homes. 

However I do hear of people that scam non stop.

Hello, I am looking for input from those who have used online rental payment applications for their tenants to pay their rent. 

Along with the FHA loan, check out the loan from the Neighborhood Assistance Corporation of America (NACA).NACA was formed in 1988 and provides an affordable option for potential first-time buyers:✅ No down payment✅ No closing costs or fees✅ No mortgage insurance✅ No consideration of credit score✅ Below market fixed interest rateThere are several requirements to be eligible, starting with attending one of their workshops.https://www.naca.comI wish you all the best.

Check agreements in your state for appropriate language that makes clear it's a condition of the lease, and lease can be terminated for non-compliance. 

You need a non-recourse loan (conventional is prohibited with IRAs).
