@Ryan Ivemeyer Possible yes, but not every lender will accept it.

That could be important if you are in a competitive area trying to get offers accepted.

- Get creative when making offers and don't accept what your realtor, lender, title company are telling you is possible at first. - Minimize cash upfront as much as possible, particularly with rates as they are- DIY what you can, but pay local pros where it saves time and backache.

I knew it was going to need work so my husband and I offered them $20k under asking and the Seller paid $10k in closing and they accepted the offer.

The UW refused to accept some of the rental income we have claimed (despite the fact we provided proof of rent payments and DocuSign signed leases from all tenants showing consistent tenancy and payments for the past 1 year 8 months.)

My biggest draw back with Stessa is that you cannot accept payments through it or communicate with the tenant in any way.

Here are these commonly accepted dos and don'ts:Do own property legally as "tenants-in-common."

Made an offer and it was accepted.

That is not something a lender would accept. 

No accepted offers yet.
