They would need cash to buy/rent seasonally in Florida, so is there a scenario where they sell the house to me, obtaining the cash they need to buy in Florida, and then rent one of the units back from me in the summers?

Tell them you would like to Cross Collateralize to buy a 3rd property. 

I understand for a flip they will get a percentage of the profit, but I'm not sure how they benefit from a buy and hold.

But I do want to add my reasoning on my way.Here is what most people don't understand when it comes to credibility.If bill gates wants to buy your house... will you ask him for a proof of funds?

Did you form a LLC for buy-hold strategy?

A hard money loan is a type of loan used by people who want to buy houses but can't get regular loans.

If you're looking to buy property without putting any money down, some creative ways exist.

However we would be "getting more house" ( access to a second back yard, tool shed, driveway, second storage unit, etc)When I look at other houses in the area, with the intrest rates as they are, I don't understand why anyone would buy multifamily and rent it out when all of these calculations would be negative cash flow.

@Gregory ReevesLet’s say more inventory did come on line, are there enough buyers who qualify who could even buy?

Would it put me in a stronger position to wait to buy property?
